Thinking about Ancient Rome and that time period

I was just reading an article (http://www.cracked.com/article_19089_the-7-most-heroic-con-artists-all-time_p2.html)

and it talks about Ancient Greece and how they held elections and stuff, and if you think back to how well set up their government and architecture and mathmeticians were....like they were so well advanced! If nothing had happened that disrupted that growth, we probably would have reached this point in technology a thousand years ago!!

Basically, if humans didn't always have to fuck things up, we would be a thousand years in the future technologically speaking. That could mean that none of us would exist then. Actually, it definitely would because the progression of technology would mean that the bubonic plague never would have spread in the 1300's. That killed like a third of the world's population at that time. There is no way you would exist if it weren't for the bubonic plague. People who died would have survived and gone on to mate with people who would otherwise have mated with other people, and the entire intricate web that holds your vast family tree together would TEAR APART.

Unless you are 100% Native-American (either north or south) or 100% Aboriginese (Australian for you know nothings) or you are 100% from the deepest parts of Africa, or a penguin, your ancestors were affected by the bubonic plague. Perhaps yours were the few lucky ones who didn't see it personally, But it ravaged Europe and 30 years before it even reached Europe it killed nearly half of the Chinese population and spread throughout Asia.

Anyway, this isn't even what I was originally thinking about. What I was thinking is that Rome and Greece and even the Ottoman Empire and the Byzantine Empire, these were all such advanced civilizations! Possibly more advanced than us in some senses! But they collapsed! Human civilizations just can't stand the test of time!

So I know I'm not the only one who looks at the world today and thinks "How are we going to keep living this way for another 200 years? 2000 years?" The waste, the stupidity, the excessiveness, the corruption, it's all going to shit! I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist, I'm just...I'm asking if you can imagine the world continuing in this manner for another 200 years without a major change or a major apocolyptic event.

So maybe the world isn't going to run out of oil or plastic or slowly dry up from global warning. Maybe a revolution is going to stir, and the civilizations alive today are going to collapse. How can they stand forever? Aren't we reaching a turning point? Everything is coming to a peak. Things can only go so well until they start disrupting the balance of everything and turn things for the worst. Sorry I couldn't think of another word for "things" but...I couldn't think of any...thing....

Anyway, I'm not saying I necessarily think this is gonna happen. I'm not secretly hoarding supplies because I think some massive revolution is going to take over the world and change the way we all live. I'm just saying maybe it's not psycho to start stocking goods up and maybe the world is headed towards a new place. And I hope I'm alive to see it if and when this happens. I do think that at some point in time, this "society" we have will collapse under its own weight and change the course of human history. Resources are being wasted, people are being abused, corruption is being allowed, and apathy is growing. But you don't need a lot of fired up people to spark a change. You just need a handful of really smart ones.  And smart is spreading just as fast as dumb.

That's MY prediction for 2012. Water comes to a boiling point at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. We (and our planet) are comprised mostly of water.

Edit: I came back after posting because I'm noticing on facebook that this BULLSHIT AND ANNOYING AND FUCKING STUPID POLL THING IS CATCHING ON LIKE WILDFIRE!! And I ask you, my friends (literally, many of you reading are probably my facebook friends) why do you want to know what everyone's favorite color is? Why do you want to tell everyone else it's purple? Or that your favorite show is the Jersey Shore? Or wait, maybe your favorite show isn't in the top three most popular answers, so you click "see more" to see the top 7, and then "see more" again to see ALL ANSWERS. And you scroll down until you find whatever your stupid favorite show is.

Don't people GET IT? Facebook is MAKING A GAME OUT OF YOUR CONSUMER OPINIONS!! I sound like such a conspiracy nut. I promise you guys I will never tell you that Obama is a lizard man. Or anyone in the government for that matter. But this isn't a matter of conspiracy. This is a matter of fact. Facebook does sell your information to other companies. The reason we "like" things now rather than "become a fan" of them like we used to is because Facebook noticed that people "liked" things more than they "became a fan" of things. So rather than realizing that to "like" something is to show that you are a nice person and you read/noticed/saw/cared about whatever someone posted/gave/sent to you, they were like "NO MORE BECOME A FAN! EVERYTHING IS LIKE!!!"

So that's why that is there. And everyone can shut up about the dislike button because it's never going to happen. Google "why dislike will on facebook will never happen" and read up if you want to know why. Anyway, while Facebook started as a "social network" and is continuing to flourish as a revolution in communication, it is now a billion dollar company. And billion dollar companies like to make more and more money. And what's becoming a valuable commodity? The public opinion!!

Stop pretending to fucking give a shit about everyone else and stop pretending that ANYONE actually gives a shit about you!! NO ONE CARES THAT YOU THINK THE BOSTON CELTICS ARE THE BEST TEAM OR YOUR FAVORITE FOOD IS MAC AND CHEESE OR YOU LIKE GERBILS MORE THAN DOGS. WHO THE HELL LIKES GERBILS MORE THAN DOGS ANYWAY.

This is going with what I was saying earlier. Society is seriously reaching the outer limits of narcissism and lack of privacy.

And there's this one last thing I was talking about yesterday. Well first, this idea came to me in the car and...well I wrote it down lemme go grab it. Here it is: I just had an epiphany in the car on the way to the mall. I read an article on cracked.com today about "5 things they didn't tell us" stuff and....just read it. [http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-things-they-never-told-us/] It got me thinking. Everyone grows up and gets stuck in the rut that is life. What people have to do is keep track of what makes you happy, and never stop seeking happiness. Because so what if you work 9-5 every monday thru Friday, and you have kids and a mortgage and all the mediocrity you've always dreaded...make a promise to yourself that no matter where you end up, you will always make you happy"

So thinking about how society basically has a plan that you have to follow to be okay. You can take a risk, but society reminds you that you'll probably fail. And every hippie you ever talk to will just be like "yeah the man just wants you to follow society's rules, yunno? Finish high school, graduate college, get a job, get married, have kids, have a mortgage, be fat and American.  I wanna do my own thing man" And I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing or even a thing at all, but the fact of the matter is that now we have  so much less freedom than humans did just a couple hundred years ago. Now you can't just stop paying your bills and wander around and build a log cabin. You can't just...get away. We gave up our privacy throughout history so we could gain more protection, but as we gain more protection we lose more freedom. Everything is so convenient and healthy and fortunate now, but we can't just do what we want can we? Everyone has the things that they love to do in their free time. Be with family, go out with friends, play video games, eat pizza, read, write. We can't just drop everything and do what we want  which is a little sad because gee, who controls ourselves? Us, or Them?

HAPPY SUNDAY BYE!

Where is Papa?

So here's the past twenty minutes or so in the life of the littlest Wittman. I get Roy all ready to go (Roy is this gift carly bought me for my birthday when we went up to Bangor. It was such a great deal, only thirty dollars but such great glass work and it LIGHTS UP yes do you know what i'm talking about now? Great if not then oh well) but then I decide I want to go to the bathroom first!

But my mom is in the upstairs bathroom (where I am). I consider waiting but decide I better go now so I go downstairs. The door is closed and I think to knock but I'm like rarely do two people in this house go to the bathroom at the same time. So I kind of tested the door knob and it felt unlocked and I heard no resistence from within so I opened the door and MY DAD IS PEEING and he's like "Hello?!" and so I run upstairs.

And then I hear him leave the bathroom and he's like "Next! All done! Rebe you can shower now or whatever"

LIKE OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU REFER TO THE PEEING SITUATION WE JUST ENCOUNTERED ONLY A MINUTE AGO? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED YOU DON'T ANNOUNCE IT NO NO NO!!

So he's like screaming and I'm like "yeah okay YES OKAY THANK YOU YUP THANK YOU" and I'm just like wow I need to talk to Roy so I can calm down about this whole thing.

So now I'm pretty calm down. But you see, I wanted to take a shower with my music and the evening light coming in the window because that's the best kind of shower, but then I hear my dad downstairs in the kitchen!! And I didn't want to walk by him and go to the bathroom because then he'd be like "sorry about that! I should have locked the door!"

Soooooo I stayed up here and then my mom got out of the upstairs shower and I just had to pray mercy that she wouldn't come in here and she didn't! However, there is movement downstairs and I can't tell if it's one or the other, or both. I think it's both. I'm almost positive it's at least Mama. But....

Where is Papa?

Haha yeeeea buddy you've read down to here. First off, congratulations!!!!

Second off, the title of this post was originally "This is beyond ridiculous". That statement is nothing but true, of course, but it was pretty vague, and then when I typed that line in the post, I was like "THAT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT TITLE!"

So I changed it. And you were confused about the title til you read that line, and now that everything has all been explained to you, you feel like a weight is off your shoulders!

Finally, one of life's greatest mysteries solved!!

Oh and before I bid thee farewell, I haven't written the post about the poll (go vote go vote go vote!!) for two reasons. One, I still want more votes. 

Two, I was really looking forward to venting about girls but then a bunch of votes flew in for boys! Come on people I have more stuff to say about my own species.

Hm okay actually maybe I should add dinosaurs to the poll, because they aren't my species either but I do know a lot about them and I would love to teach you all!! 

I think he finally went downstairs. I'm going to run and then spend as long as possible in the shower. Shouldn't be too challenging. 

PRAY WE DON'T COLLIDE IN THE HALLWAYS!

I was just thinking this to myself

Because I'm all sore from floor hockey in gym! And so I'm hobbling around the room painfully and I'm like "whyyyyy do you have to get sore after working out?"

I mean, we all know you get sore because of lactic acid, and we all know the body makes lactic acid when the muscle isn't getting enough oxygen, but why does lactic acid make us sore? Why doesn't nature make it so lactic acid DOESN'T make us sore, then we'd be super-humans, working out all the time! Eating furniture!

And then I was like because THEN everyone would work out so much their muscles would never get a rest, and therefore the microrips in muscles wouldn't have time to repair and build back up again, which is what makes muscles bigger when you exercise them, so we could never get ripped!

We could never be so fit!!

And then I was like, WOW, nature figured that out? Like how did...how did nature figure out that we needed lactic acid to make us sore so we wouldn't overwork so we could develope? How did mother nature know that thumbs were good, and tails were bad, but it can't figure out that hair belongs on the head only and that appendixes are unnecessary?

Oh my gosh!!! I just went downstairs  to say hi to Papa because he just came home from work! So I say hi and fill up my water and prepare a bowl of cereal and then my mom goes up to my dad and goes "Did you hear?" and he's like "Liz Taylor?" and she starts hugging him and like crying.

i'm like WTFFFFFFFFFF

And my dad's like "Liz Taylor died..."

So apparently she was beautiful and my mom thought she was the greatest thing ever and this was the most terrible tragedy.

Anyway I come upstairs and take one bite of my cereal before i start fucking choking and i'm like WOW REALLY WRONG TUBE RIGHT NOW? and i start coughing and of course NOWWWWW i'm coughing as if this isn't REAL suspicious.

I just took another bite after a while and i started coughing AGAIN!!! I think the flakes in the cereal sneak down my throat and tickle it and try to go into my lungs, as if there's anything for them to do in there.

mmmm Yum yum I think I just had to remember how to eat cereal I just ate the whole bowl and it was soooo yummy! I wish I knew what kind of cereal it was so I could tell you to try it...it's like corn flake stuff with like walnuts and cranberries but wayyyyyy more delicious than it sounds.

Anyway, there's more about the nature stuff.

Human beings have the largest brain to body ratio in the entire animal kingdom. It's

Okay I just read wikipedia and let me back this up. Apparently that title belongs to the shrew. Humans have the highest "encephalization quotient" of all "extant animals". Okay I was right, extant means animals still alive today.

So whatever, same thing pretty much. Although I do have to add that each family, genus, order etc of animals has its own expected encephalization quotient with a lot of variables in between. So aren't even out of line for what's expected for primates, however, gorillas ARE!!! (I think they're lower than expected or something. Who cares about gorillas)

Anyway...we have this great big giant brain we lug around and it requires a ton of fat to stay alive all day, but what are we equipped with? Sturdy little fingernails and some eyebrows! Okay, Neanderthals were admittedly a little tougher looking, but they were as close to us as they come. And we were never equipped with.......

Well, hold up. This is what I'm saying. If you go back far enough on the evolutionary chain on Earth, primates began to become more human like. I mean starting from the beginning, you start from a single-celled organism and slowly progress to multi-celled and more complicated organisms, you develop fish eventually and plants and progress toward land animals. The land animals evolve from lizards to birdies to mammals and the like, which crawl along for several millennia until they become us: Homo sapiens.

And within only a few thousand years (we humans are a fiber on a page in the story book that is Earth) we have come so far that we are now, in the past only 120 years, slowly destroying the Earth. We are unscrambling, decoding, and solving nature, and we are manipulating it and overcoming it to serve our needs.

Here's my question...nature knows that our bodies need lactic acid, but nature didn't know that the pattern of evolution would inevitably progress toward smarter and smarter entities which would eventually destroy the very Earth they came from?

Are humans inevitable though? Was our evolution inevitable?

Ask yourself this: what if scientist somehow rigged 5 other Earth's, exactly our size and distance from the Sun, with all the same features that we had when we formed, would life have sprung forth as it did? And imagine if on every planet life did succeed, as I believe it definitely would-

Side track for a moment here. I'm going to continue right where I left off in the next paragraph, but I just wanted to say here...Imagine Earth right now, and then subtract all the humans and all their impact on Earth. The pollution, the countries, the canals, the dams, the buildings, the trash, the irrigation, the waste, every person, gone. Okay, hopefully you are also near a window? Look how beautiful it is outside. It's really sunny and delightful in here right now so I apologize if it's raining and miserable where you are, but regardless, you can see how lush it is. Sure, without human impact, the temperature could possibly be varied by a fraction of a degree, and there might be trees right where I'm sitting (Actually, there almost definitely would...which is really weird if you think about it because I live a short walking distance from the beach. So if all none of the trees in this town were cut down, they would extend almost entire to the shore line I think....can you even imagine a shoreline not populated with the occasional palm tree, but with a dense forest of conifers and maples??"

-would humans inevitably evolve? Whether it took 6 billion or 4 billion or 10 billion years, would it happen? On every single planet? If you believe that human evolution was inevitable, do you believe TECHNOLOGY was inevitable? That if there were humans on each of those Earths, they would all eventually develop rapidly and exponentially and get to our point and beyond?

And that leaves me here: does life continue to evolve until it causes its own demise? Or...are we still evolving...is there one more step on the evolutionary ladder that we have to take, that will take us to being civilized and at one with the earth while still technologically advanced and comfortable and...healthy? Can that happen? Can we become at one with the Earth, stop creating a negative impact, stop defacing the scenery so much, stop hurting each other, and yet still have technology?

If we can't, why does life seek to end itself? How can nature go through a complete circle without knowing what it's doing? How can nature be anything but a conscious being?

Just been thinking about facebook lately....

I was looking at my homepage. And like I'm reading the statuses and...here i'll copy some of them for you

Rest in peace nemo, you were the best goldfish ever. Aaron, I hate you!


Sometimes, the wording just isn't right.


Kickingg my nephews buttt at wii sports ;-)


Always hopin' for the worse, waiting for me to fuck up.


sooo lazyyy


Gonna go clean my truuuuck :)


My boyfriend is a Meanie Beanie Pants ;) but i still love him tehe ;* 1.16.11


Showerr, Than Shit To Doo!


Okay so that's a wide variety of statuses. But think about it. Ten years ago, just ten short years ago, we didn't have any of this bullshit!! No matter how clever you think your status is, or how funny  it is or whatever, people really just don't care! We've all done it - everyone posts statuses! I do on occasion! But honestly, no one cares! We really don't!

And yet...it persists. And we pretend to care. Because...becausing caring about other people gets you the satisfaction of that little red number in the notifications "earth" icon thing.

NOTIFICATIONS!!

THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND NOTIFICATIONS!!! The world revolves around facebook, because facebook is a revolutionary in website, internet, communication, networking, privacy, all sorts of issues. And what does facebook revolve around?

Everyone wants a notification. It's what drives everything.............

Anyway I have something to explain so stick with me for a moment longer! You'll notice there's now a poll at the top of the page- wait a minute, you didn't notice? If you didn't notice go look at it you dumbass!!

Okay now that you have found it (or, if you already knew where it was, thank you for waiting patiently while the stupids found it) it's pretty self explanatory. Just vote for the topic you want my next post to be about!!

Now, it won't necessarily be the NEXT post after this, because I need to get a few votes. The poll officially has 37 days until it closes (Idk why just...because) but I can decide earlier or extend the deadline, depending on how many votes I get!

Anyway, please vote!!! Thanks to everyone!!!!!

(watermelon, LOL)

:)

oh my GOD YOU GUYS I AM VIBRATING

I AM ABSOLUTELY QUIVERING!!!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!

So after I came home from the after school history study sesh (around 2:45) i say hi to my mom and stuff then grab my stuff to get ready to come outside and smoke. Because it's sooooo beautiful you guys, and I tried smoking with anna on tuesday when we THOUGHT it was nice, but it was way too windy! Now, there's barely any wind, but it's so sunny and nice!!

Anyway none of this is the point. The point is, I'm smoking outside, when I hear the door open, and Leila and MY MOTHER'S STOMPING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ME AS I SIT ON THE BACK DECK, STARING AT MY COMPUTER AND FEELING MY HEART KICK UP THE SPEED AFTER HIDING THE BOWL AND LIGHTER IN MY POCKET 2.5 SECONDS AGO. THE SPLOOF IS STILL RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN ON MY LAP.

Mama proceeeds to come up to me and tell me she ordered Pizza hut or some shit, and she has to go pick it up at 4:15, and I don't want to go, right?

What the fuck?!?!

First, you sketch me the MOOOOOTHER FUCK OUT (what if there wasn't a slight breeze? What if I hadn't brought my sploof? What if i had been in the middle of a hit?) and then you fucking TELL ME YOU ORDERED PIZZA HUT?!

Ugh part of me is like stoner happy to hear that news, but most of me is grossed the mother out because the last time i had pizza hut it was like a greese moose pooped out a greease poop pie and that's what they used for cheese and sauce and bread. And they baked it and called it pizza hut pizza. So like, not that excited to eat that shit but whatever.

Anyway, my legs are STILL QUIVERING!!! They were doing weird shaky things earlier though, and it's not the cold either it's really warm right now.

Anyway, I had to post as soon as it happened because like....I had to vent. Hahahahaha that was so scary!!!!! And I think I deserve a hit now more than ever!!! I said I was gonna stay out here and she's leaving at 4:15 so that means I have an hour/

I hear noises like someone is cutting down a tree or erecting a wooden fence. I hope whoever is making that noise doesn't mind what I'm doing right now but if you do piss off old man. Or woman, you never do know with this street.

Oh, and I forgot. You have to remember it's really sunny right now and there's a good chance my eyes are red, squinty, or both. If they're just squinty I can pull it off like it's the sun if I talk real smooth, but thinking back I think I sounded a little too enthusiastic.

She was like, "What did you have to stay after school for again?"

"Study session, a study session with my history class," I said loudly.

"How did it go?"

"Good. It was helpful, it was really helpful."

I made a lot of eye contact.

"Bla bla bla pizza hut ordered pizza bla bla bla four o'clock but you won't want to come with me right?"

"I'll just stay out here"

"Okay," she said with like a lingering look to my eye. Wtf is that all about?

I see a like personal aviator plane in the sky right now like the kind amelia earheart piloted haha it just flew right over me. Cool.

Was it worth it after all?
I need you here with me, cuz love is all we

WELL WHAT THE MOTHER FUCK I ACCIDENTALLY JUST DELETED THIS ENTIRE POST FOR TRYING TO WRITE DOWN THE LYRICS (I was trying to go back and copy and paste and delete a part but then it all highlighted and one press of the delete buttom BOOM EVERYTHING IS GONE)

So i somehow apple z'd my way back to the entire article, and by god how lucky are we that that happened? Pretty friggen happy I'll say.

If it doesn't rain this weekend we should have a fire 0.[

Anyway it was the lyrics to the superman song from scrubs, if you couldn't figure it out. If you could good job that's actually pretty impressive. shit i keep sketching thinking i hear footsteps on the deck. i got a text but first i have to use my webcam to see if my eyes look red!!!

hah couldn't even tell but my mom just came outside and said she's leaving now

"Papa va a venir ahora"

Bullshit mum. he will be at least another few minutes. Hopefully. And he'll go inside first to try to find me. HEY ACTUALLY SHOULD I GO PACK ANOTHER BOWL THEN WHEN HE COMES HOME I CAN SAY HEY I'M JUST GOING BACK OUTSIDE AND HE'LL BE LIKE OH WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT THERE AND I'LL BE LIKE JUST CHILLONG ON THE COMPUTER and then he will go downstairs and be like kbyeeeee

or he could come outside and talk to me and be annoying and tell me something new he learned about japan today.

Not that I don't care about Japan, I totally do. But all he ever does now is start in with a YOU KNOW WHAT I HEARD ABOUT JAPAN TODAY? And then the next seven mi OH MY SHIT THE ICE CREAM TRUCK! BRB FUCKING B

I heard the ice cream truck. Ran to get my money. I realized it was on another street. I went back upstairs. I hear the ice cream truck on our street. I look out the window. Dan's dad (aka my cop neighbor) is buying an ice cream sandwich. I'm like, wow, really?

No ice cream. My stomach just grumbled too!! I have a full bowl though- OH WAIT WHAT YOU MEAN I GOT UP, FORGETTING THAT IT WAS ON MY LAP, AND IT KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AND SPILLED EVERYWHERE AND I HAD TO TRY MY BEST TO SCOOP IT UP BUT IT'S SO MUCH SMALLER NOW? Cool.

Chose the one with the grey swirl for a reason kids.

We got some catching up to do....

Pray god I don't forget everything I have to say before I say it.

Number one: After my post on my birthday, I noticed my views had gone up a bit. This much:

Some might call that coincidence. I guess it could be.

Number Two: I've been thinking about how much has changed in a year....Mostly about me. But about a fuck load of other stuff too. Anyway, it's all sorts of stuff I could never have imagined one year ago. So many one year anniverseries of things are coming!! Including but not limited to Mary's Walk, going to Boston with my math class (Flamers, Sonic, dBlodg), North Conway w. Elizabeth (Ryan, the toilet, the 6,000 calorie chicken nuggets), track (throwing up, Joe Jonas, the spandex boys) and like, sooner than later, May will be creeping past and we'll be preparing for finals. This has been the quickest 12 months....I feel like I was in August four weeks ago, not 7 months ago.

I have been listening to take back the city FOR OVER THREE MINUTES AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY!!! ZERO!!! I HAVE NO IDEA!!!! I was about to skip over champagne supernova and my father's eyes when I was like no...too much, and returned to both of them.

I hear slamming doors downstairs. Who is home? Why is everyone coming home RIGHT NOW?!

Whoa....guess I never listened to the lyrics...check this out you guys

How many special people change?
How many lives are living strange?
Where were you while we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?

What!?!? I WAS JUST SAYING THAT!!!!! and this song just CAME on shuffle!!! Man if you are reading this and you haven't googled the song yet to see what it sounds like (the beginning I'm guessing is the sound of champagne being poured, it's just rushing water) then you should really just go and shoot yourself in the back. I'm thinking butt bone area because that would just fucking hurt. My point being that you had better be listening to it by NOW.... better be....

Anyway, it's almost time to start being tan again! In fact, in a month, I will hopefully have had one track practice outside in the sun! Actually, those days are annoying, because you're all "oooh so sunny and nice out!" and then it's like 49 DEGREES BITCH HAHAHAHA and on top of it you're all out of shape and crap...but come beginning of may, you've definitely got some sun in ya!!!

So wow the paleness and cold is actually going to go away someday...isn't that wack to think about?! Like seriously, just two months away will be May, and there is always a hot day by the time mid-may rolls around. Can you imagine a hot day right now?!?!? Can you imagine not being sickly deathly pale every single day?!?! Can you imagine not being REALLY REALLY COLD WHEN YOU'RE OUTSIDE FOR UPWARDS OF TEN MINUTES?!

 I've covered this topic before ladies don't let me bore you. Anyway I just opened my eyes in the widest amazement I've ever seen....I just looked at the clock and it is TWO FIFTY FIVE PM!!! What?!? I got home only around a half hour ago? That means...man I thought it was at least almost four. Whatevs.

I guess I feel like a true blogger with actual followers because I'm actually going to apologize for not posting the last few days... And I'm going through with it right now even though I have like carpal tunnel plus a sore arm from volleyball... So yeah Carly has been home and I've been enjoying uninhibited sleep (and going to bed every night by 11:00) and even reading more because I've got two fabulous books for the first time in a long while. And after getting sick last week...oh yeah did I tell you?

Chances are if you're already reading you know, but I puked my living soul out last wednesday, which was three days after my birthday. Great present Carls!! So what if I already had the worst stomach virus I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE MERELY ONE MONTH AGO? I'd love to have one again!!

Anyway, THAT happened, and even though the vomiting was for a mere 12 hours or so (but oh so frequent in those few hours) I went through the next few days with minimal to no appetite. And it was a very sad experience over all. By the end of the weekend, however, I had recovered completely. Um so anyway between all that and spending the next week (which was this past week) going to bed early and enjoying rest I haven't had the motivation to come post.

But I have a feeling this is really long...the scrolly bar on the right is shorter than I've ever seen it.... But as with tradition, I'll leave with a picture.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO LEAVE A SUGGESTION FOR A TOPIC FOR A PICTURE FOR THE NEXT POST, LEAVE A COMMENT!!!

This should do: fuck i got way too distracted and i totally forgot i was trying to get a picture.

here

First images result for germs. I dunno why i searched it. But ciao!!
