But anyways, even though I hate chewing (I would force everyone around me to eat tomato soup if possible, not because of it's taste, Lord knows I hate that, but because it doesn't have chunks for possible obnoxious smacking sounds), that is what I am doing right now. My mom fixed one of those crappy freezer Stouffer's lasagnas last night for dinner. I hate lasagna, and the fact that it is frozen makes it even worse. So I ate a peanut butter jelly sandwich instead. Yum. And tonight, guess what we are having. Well, since I only have two parents and one unnecessarily large freezer lasagna, we are eating left-overs. Blech. So, since I have the munchies now and don't have to wait for my parents to fix dinner, (midnight snacks, anyone?) I am eating a bowl of my favorite cereal: Special K Chocolatey Delight. That's right, my favorite cereal happens to be a diet cereal. I need to go on one anyways, so if my parents decided to eat lasagna for the rest of my high school career, I would be down with that.
So, today, in Spanish class, right before the bell rings and I am doing nothing, I ask my teacher if I have ever sang for her before. I decide to do my school-renowned rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. While I was singing my little heart out and bringing joy to those around me, the bell rang for lunch. Lunch time? I was outta there. But after lunch, in my *ahem* "lovely" Biology class, my teacher told me that I should go on America's Got Talent. Then she asked if they had it in America. Um, hello, Ms. Barnes, it's in the title! Anyways, I was gonna go on X-Factor last year, but my parents didn't believe in me enough to take me, so I asked Ms. Barnes if she would take me. After I thought about it, I realized it really didn't matter because once I get my license I can go by myself. And get there early. Maybe around 9 the night before. You know, early bird catches the worm and all that.
Now, here comes the poetically beautiful random part of today's post.
I sometimes wonder why anybody would read this stuff about me that I post. I have always been told I am a good writer, so maybe my words will be captivating enough to capture the attention of whom I hope will become my loyal followers. Twitter included, @bgangel97.
Here is the real reason why I am doing what I am doing. I believe that writers-- song writers, musicians, poets, authors, and bloggers included-- are artists, only their medium is words. There is nothing like the feeling of putting down something so powerful in words that means so much to you that you can hope that will convey a message to someone else. If I can do one thing, I want to be one of those people that you learn about in history, or like Madonna on the three night 80's marathon airing on the National Geographic channel. I want to remembered. And I think that maybe God is telling me that this is the first step.
I have a friend, although I'm not sure if she considers me a friend, that always sits at my table for lunch. She is really nice, but a little odd. It doesn't matter to me, I find myself a little odd as well. But I found out recently and noticed that she has started self-cutting. And bad. I wish she would know how much she means to all of us. She has the ability to become a person like we read about in history, somebody who changes the world, and I wish she knew that everybody, including her, are valuable assets to our world, our country, our lives. Everybody is influenced by the people around them, and without her, there is no telling if she if supposed to provide influence on somebody's life that will change them forever. I wish all people that self-harm like that realized that. If you are out there, I am praying for you. You might not care of believe that God can help you, but I know and will anyways. I wish that more people would read the book, "By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead" by Julie Anne Peters. It made me look different at people like this. I think it should even be required reading for public schools. It will change the way you think about people, and I think it makes you not want to ignore this type of stuff that goes on around you we look over everyday. I hope that anybody reading this buys that book, reads it, meditates on it, and applies to their own lives and be more considerate of those around them.
That is all for today, and I hope you take what I have to say into consideration. After all, by doing this, I am losing valuable homework time. So don't make this a waste of my time. Read it, consider it, and apply it to your life. Thank you! Have a wonderful rest of the day!!!!!!!
