Phone

I'm pretty sure most of you already know this, but if you didn't I'm talking about Mr. Dykstra taking my phone away Monday. I swear that is the first time in my high school career that I've gotten my phone taken away. I was not expecting it. I have never gotten caught. People say I'm way obvious about my texting in school, but it's always worked for me before. Teachers have never caught me even in my most obvious ways. I had it coming though. I know I did.

I was texting a lot in class that day. It looked really obvious. I was still participating in class, but yes I was texting. What's makes it worse is that I knew he knew I was texting. He called on me multiple times even because he knew I was texting. He finally called me out on it at the end. He asked/said, "Taylor, are you texting? You keep staring at your pocket." At first I said no , of course, but he knew I was lying so I said yeah. So he told me to bring my phone up there. Now I never shut it off, but I should have. First thing out of Dykstra's mouth was "Nice picture." I laughed and I bet you anything I started getting red. It was embarrassing. Then he told me and the whole class I had received texts. Then he tried turning my phone off, but failed miserably. I went up to help him, but at that time he finally figured it out. Then he started commenting on how heavy my phone is. I do not think my phone is heavy at all. It was weird.

I was only texting one person when I got caught. This person didn't go to school because he had graduated already. Me and him were talking about how if I wanted to go to the China Buffet to eat with that person and his family. I was just about to ask if his mom could pick me up from school when I got caught. It was around the end of 7th hour. Pretty much the end of the day. I think that's dumb to take it away at the end of the day. I mean at least take it away the first time you saw me texting , Dykstra. In the end it all worked out. I went to China Buffet and this person's mom did get me from school. I had a friend text the person to let him know about my phone. Not having my phone wasn't as bad as I thought. The main person I text I was with most of the night. I tried texting that person off my moms phone, but she wouldn't let me. She did let me say goodnight to him though, which I was happy about. After all of this I have learned not to text in Dykstra's class anymore.

Spring Break

Spring break. That wonderful week of no school. Every kid dreams about spring break. The wild parties, traveling, hanging with friends or significant others. My spring break consisted of visiting grandparents, hanging with my mother, barely hanging out with my boyfriend, watching my sister, and going to my dads. My spring break was pretty hectic. I had no idea how hectic it was going to be. My original plan was to hang out with the boyfriend as much as possible, but that didn't happen.

The Thursday spring break started, on that half day, I gave my boyfriend a ride home from school, since I had the car that day. I stayed at his house until about 3:30 pm. Then, I went home to chillax for a little bit before I had to pick up my mom from work. I know weird, the child picking up the mother. Friday my mom had the day off, but I had a birthday party to go to so all we did Friday was go to Red Riding Hood. Saturday night my grandparents stayed the night. They just got back from Arizona. My boyfriend came over to play games with the family. Sunday wasn't very eventful. Monday mom had the day off again, but this time we went to go see beastly. Tuesday was the only day I was at home by myself. Wednesday I got to hang out with my boyfriend all day before I thought I had to go to my dads. I was supposed to go to my dads Wednesday night but my brother had a high temperature. So Thursday, while I stayed at home, I had to watch my little sister. Thursday night to Sunday night I was at my dads. There was controversy over me going there. In the end I went and Saturday we went shopping. Some dude tried selling my dad a hookah. The dude also thought I was my dads wife and my brothers mom. It was awkward. That was the summary of my spring break. Not the perfect spring break I wanted, but it was good enough.

Laughing

Have you ever read a book that is extremely funny? I have. Have you ever read a book that was so funny you started laughing so hard out loud and everyone looked at you funny? I have again. I was laughing so hard I did not even realize I was crying.  I got the weirdest looks. 

          I was in Geometry class when this happened. Everyone was doing homework but I finished early. Since I finished early, I wanted to read my book. I had been reading this book for a couple days and I love this series. So that is why I wanted to read my book so badly. So I was reading my book like a normal person would be reading a book, then all of a sudden I got to this extremely funny part. It only lasted a page and a half, but with me laughing so hard it took me ten minutes to read it. Everyone was staring at me. Staring at the weird freaky girl laughing. All wondering why I am laughing? Thinking what the bleep is she on. What is so funny?

          The book I was reading so happened to be called Finger Lickin’ Fifteen by Janet Evanovich. It is part of her Stephanie Plum series. If you ever want to read it Mrs. Bailey has like all of them. I so happen to be borrowing my book from a friend, but I know Mrs. Bailey has them. The part of this book that I so happened to think was so hilarious was the part where this big fat African American woman got stuck in the window of a black Porsche. She was wearing bright yellow stretchy pants and a flak vest on. She looked like a big bumblebee. Anyways no one could get her fat butt out of the car. That is until she farted. She farted for a record breaking 1 minute long fart. It was so hilarious. I do not know why. Most people think that is so immature but if you read it you would be laughing so hard too.  

PDA

PDA. Public display of affection. You see it everywhere. The only place you see people getting yelled at for it is in school. Should people get yelled at for PDA? Even the littlest PDA like hugging. I see people getting yelled at for just hugging someone. I would know because yes I do PDA in school. I do not do the bad PDA though. Their is a difference between harmless PDA and gross PDA.

          You might think that PDA is PDA, but theirs two different kinds of PDA. The harmless PDA and the gross PDA. The harmless PDA is stuff like hand holding, hugging, and arms wrapped around each other. The gross PDA is things like tonsil hockey, hands down other peoples pants or pockets, and grabbing in inappropriate places. I have no problem with the harmless PDA. The gross PDA is a different story. Yes I have done lots of PDA before, but that was before I knew how bad it is. For the longest time it was just me that I knew that did PDA. Once I saw other people doing it, I was like ew, yuk, gross. It made me want to get far away from it but after I got sick.

          I think PDA should be allowed in school, but to an extent. We should be able to have and do the harmless PDA without getting yelled at. The gross PDA should not be allowed in school. No one wants to see that. It is gross enough to make anyone sick, even me. I mean for crying out loud keep it in the bedroom or at least in private. If we wanted to see that kind of stuff we could get it off the internet, magazines, or the TV. Their is a reason why people do not have sex in public. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE IT! It is disgusting. Keep it PG.

Videogames

Videogames suck. I hate videogames. Whenever I go to my friends house or when I go to my ex's house that is all they ever do is play videogames. They are extremely boring, pointless, and stupid. The only kind of games that people play now a days are ones that kill people, zombies, or something. That is really stupid if you ask me.

          I gave videogames a chance, but I do not like the ones that shoot and kill things. So far the only gaming system I like is the Wii. My favorite games for the Wii are Mariokart and Just Dance. I figured that if I like the Wii I would like the shooting games better, but that did not happen. I found out I liked the shooting games better on other systems. I like it on other systems because you can actually play with other people and have a split screen on other systems. Where on the Wii you can not.

          I suck at playing videogames. When I go to my friends houses they make me play and I usually end up sucking. They play the shooting games and all I do on those is shoot aimlessly and spin in circles. The most I have killed is probably like 6. I died like 6x more than that. Yes, I know that practice makes perfect but I do not find those games interesting. So why would I play them on my own time? If it was a game I found interesting maybe I would want to play them on my time but the games they play are stupid. I mean really. All you get to do is shoot things. You can do that in real life. Doing it on a game system is just the lazy way of shooting stuff. I do not like videogames.

Texting in School

Texting in school. It is a huge problem in schools today. Or so they say. Everyone is doing it. The funny thing is though that teachers probably catch us like 1/8th of the time. Like they never catch us when it is the most obvious. I swear the 1st day in gym last semester this kid (who was my ex so go figure I was watching him) had his phone out texting in the front row on the bleachers right in front of a teacher and the stupid teacher did not even see it. All he was doing was hiding it behind his hand, nothing else, and the teacher never caught him! What made it worse that there were two teachers! Teachers say it is a huge problem when students text in school, but there so oblivious to it. They only catch us when we try to be sneaky about it. Sometimes I wonder if the teachers do not really care if we text as long as they do not see it. I mean I think teachers are told to take our phones away and tell us not to text during school. I do not think they really care, but their boss tells them to take the phones away if they see it. I also think that the only reason teachers catch us and want to catch us is because they have to confiscate a certain number of phones like in a month or something. I don't know if we can get in trouble texting during passing time, but I have seen people texting pretty much right in the open in front of the office even and never get caught. I mean if you say texting in school is a big problem then work harder to stop it. That is if you teachers even care.

Rumors

(Jaw dropped) WHAT!?! What do you mean she is trying to get with him!? Later in the day...It was not true people were just spreading rumors. I hate rumors. They are the stupidest things ever. When you tell people a rumor (and usually it’s bad) people freak out. Like take me for example I freak out every time someone tells me a “rumor” my jaw drops most of the time. I realize most rumors are just something some one heard, but still. I am a gullible person. I believe anything any one tells me. Even if they are only joking I usually believe them. I do not know why people tell rumors they hurt and they suck. Just this morning I heard a rumor that some girl I am kind of friends with wants to go out with my ex boyfriend who I broke up with two weeks ago. I freaked out and started crying because I am obviously still in love with him. I dated him for a little more than a year. He was not worth my crying because he treated me horribly, but I still had feelings for him. Yes I did break up with him, but not because I did not love him anymore. We fought a lot about stupid stuff and everything so we decided to take a breather and be single for a while. Anyways the girl that I heard wanted to go out with him told me later in the day that is was not true. It was all a rumor. I believed her because she had just gotten out of a long and serious relationship herself.  As you can tell I hate rumors. I think if you do not know something for a fact, do not tell other people about it. Plain and simple.
