Annoying Things That I Think Are Pretty Cool

So there a some classic pet peeves and things people find annoying. But not all of these things are annoying. It's really up for interpretation. So I'll list some non annoying annoying things for you guys to digest.
All pet peeves come from the website www.GetAnnoyed.com

1. NOISY EATERS
Who cares? Are you jealous of that person eating? If you wanted a sandwich I bet there's a potbellies down your street. God. Stop being an awful person.

2. PEOPLE WHO DRINK STRAIGHT FROM THE CARTON
And again, why would this annoy people? Okay okay, I get it. So it's kind of obnoxious to see someone tilt their head all the way back and chug out of the container with their entire mouth on it. Whatever. But if someone lives alone, who cares? Also, sharing germs isn't a real problem, like I mentioned in my previous post. Get over your sanitary issues people!

3. WHEN STRAWS MAKE A SUCKING NOISE AT THE BOTTOM OF THEIR DRINK
Yeah I guess this could be an annoying noise, but what is the point of buying a drink if you can't finish it all the way to the bottom? It's necessary for people to receive the satisfaction of being at the bottom of their drink and sucking up the last drop, no matter how annoying it is.

4. THROWING SOMETHING AT THE GARBAGE, MISSING, AND LEAVING IT THERE.
Okay okay, you anti littering people. I know why you'd find this upsetting. But why would someone shoot something at the garbage can like they are in the NBA? Let's think about this. This person could have self esteem issues and wants to think their some kind of hotshot. When they miss, they are so embarrassed they don't want to admit their mistake and pick up their trash. Instead, they pretend they didn't do it. See? Be thoughtful you jerks.

5. PEOPLE WHO DON'T CONTROL THEIR BRATTY CHILDREN
Now, this is annoying. But think about the satisfaction other parents get when they see kids who aren't theirs misbehaving. They are probably like "thank god I did a good job with my kid". It makes them feel better about their parenting job. Also it entertains onlookers to see a bratty kid acting out, lets say in the airport or at a restaurant. Now I guess it is cringe worthy, but it also it entertaining. So yeah.
Yep.

I am done here.

Another Doodle


I think this face drawing was done during science class, but you never know. Original paper is neon purple.
So yeah.......... 

Bike the Drive

It breaks my heart to announce that today I participated in a day of fitness.
I've been protesting athletics since day one, based on my view that it's a waste of time. Actually fitness is kind of important for being healthy and stuff, but it still isn't the most enjoyable activity.
Well today I biked the drive. If anyone doesn't know what this is, Bike the Drive is an event that the city organizes where the major highway, Lakeshore Drive, is closed, and people can bike up and down it all morning. Yay!
The slogan of this event is "move over cars, it's our turn".
So this year I pulled my lazy ass out of bed at 5:30 and biked a total of 30 miles. Look at that motivation! This is the first time I've biked the whole thing, I think it's because the last time I did it I was even less athletic than I am now. I would stop half way through and tell my parents that I had lost every ounce of body fat I had and that I was pretty sure my but was just going to collapse. Those bike seats hurt!
Well anyway, this year my bike was successful, I guess you could say.
So yeah.

Pet Peeves: Last Five

I will continue to discuss things that piss me off. Enjoy!

6. SINGING IN THE HALLWAYS
So there are always those couple people at school who you see in the hallway. They don't have to be your friends, you don't even have to know them. But the point is that they are there. And these people you encounter in the hallways and you can't not pay attention to them are the singers. Who the hell is so happy they have to sing in the hallways? It doesn't matter if it's one lone singer, or a whole pack of kids. It's just as awful and just as annoying.

7. PEOPLE WHO TAKE EVERYTHING WAY TOO SERIOUSLY
Let's face it, there are a lot of subjects at school. It's hard to like every subject. It's hard to like every sport or extracurricular you participate in 100% of the time. Sometimes an activity is more fun when you take it in a more lighthearted manner. Early World History is not life or death. You can joke around without getting shot. It's not a crime to be bored. Come on guys, you serious people, you're making me look bad.

8. LARGE GROUPS OF LITTLE KIDS
I've babysat before. I really have no problem with little kids. In fact, I enjoy being around them cuz it's fun and stuff. You don't have to deal with social pressure or whatever. Unless the kid makes fun of you, and then that kid is an asshole.
But large groups of kids. Singing. Talking loudly. Acting retarded.
SO ANNOYING.
When I was little I never understood why adults hated large groups of kids at all, I just thought they were mean when they moved away from us or whatever. But I totally totally understand now. It's the cotent of what they are saying as well as the raucous tones of their voices mixing together that just...ugh.

9. WHEN PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO SHARE DRINKS OR FOOD OR WHATEVS
"Oh no! There are germs on the rim of that cup!" "Gross! You just took a bite out of that sandwich!" "You probably backwash! That's disgusting."
Those are all the obnoxious things those sanitation nerds say. You're not going to die if you drink out of the same water bottle as someone. Trust me. A little saliva never hurt anyone, unless that person is sick. And then that's just stupid to share with them. Sharing is part of human nature, and people shouldn't be grossed out by it.

10. LOCKS ON GYM LOCKERS
I mean seriously, who the hell wants to steal dirty gym clothes? I seriously wash my gym uniform like 3 times a year. It's no biggie. It's gym. Nobody gives a shit.
Locks most definitely don't help. They just make you take two times longer to put your gym clothes on and take them off. No one needs that hassle. I am a proud member of the "I'm to lazy to put a gym lock on my locker" club. I have a lock for the locker, I just have never put it on. I mean seriously, it's hard enough to remember my school locker combo.

And that wraps up the Ten Pet Peeves uit of this blog. I have officially got some more complaining out of my system, and all of your lives are much more enlightened.
You're welcome.

Leah and her friends suck

I really just hate everyone. This goes with my theme of hating people, especially kids. usually on weekends, I go out and find a baby seal, and then club that seal with another baby seal. Or I just throw kittens in fires. That is me. I am Julia. I've probably killed at least three kids, and me and maciah like to scissor each others... You know. I'm also a transvestite. Sometimes :(

Pet Peeves: First Five

I think that I have been acquainted with the internet long enough to tell it all about myself.
I mean, we're pretty tight now.
So I will list 5 pet peeves. As the readers of this blog have probably already realized, many things piss me off. LIKE MANY. So instead of talking about all these items in separate posts I'll just summarize all the beef I've got with certain things. Here goes nutin:

1. INSTAGRAM
Why don't I like this app? Well, maybe because everything about it disgusts me. I mean really, who has to put a filter on their photo just to feel comfortable with their face being on the internet?
And I know a lot of people like photography and are good at it and whatever. But people shouldn't need to prove that they are good at photography by putting every photo on instagram so their friends can like them.
GRAWSS.

2. TEXTING
Everyone texts, I know. But I'm a hipster so I can dislike whatever I want. The worst thing is when people expect you to answer a text within minutes, personally I only answer a text when I really have to, or have nothing better to do. I mean, I have a life people.

3. PEOPLE ASKING TO HAVE PARTIES IN MY APARTMENT
Seriously guys, just let it go. I'm never going to have a party at my house. Ever.

4. ORGANIZED SPORTS
I have nothing against organized sports, really. I like watching basketball sometimes (rarely), and sports are hardcore and whatever. Still though, the time commitment is crazy. Who the hell wants to go to soccer practice or whatever every day after school? NO ONE. Or to rephrase that, no one should want to do that. I guess it's people who really like to go practice the sports they play that piss me off.

5. PEOPLE PLAYING GAMES ON THEIR PHONES IN CLASS
I'm not a good student. Not that I get bad grades, but that I don't take class seriously. I doodle and whatever in class, I always do my spanish homework in biology.
But anyway. Those people who play games on their phones. All. The. Time. I just don't get it.
How can people have such bad attention issues they have to play FIFA or doodle jump or whatever?
I don't even know.

So that wraps up todays segment.

English Doodle

A classic example of an english class doodle. I might have worked on this one in spanish but im not 100% sure. 
This thing was originally on neon orange paper, but I took a scan of it, so it's black and white.
Don't worry, I would never buy myself neon orange paper. 
I just take it from the science lab.
They don't even know what's missing. 


5th Grade Band

Do you know what's depressing?
Everything.
I recently realized this when I went to the 5th grade band concert, which took place approximately 76 minutes ago.
I want to mention that I HAD to go to this band concert. Because I'm in high school band we are required to go to one other school performance, and I had run out of options. So 5th grade band it was.

I remember when I was in 5th grade band. I had already been playing clarinet for like 3 years, and I thought I was the shit. Like when I joined band I thought that I'd be conducting that thing.
But no. Instead I had to watch as all the other little fledgling clarinetists were taught how to put their reed on their mouth piece, and how play an open G. We worked on this kind of stuff from the beginning of the year until January, and then we started preparing for our first concert ever.

Well this band concert was different then the concert four years ago. The biggest difference probably being the fact that they played pieces I'm pretty sure we played in 6th or 7th grade. Also this was already their second concert, which means they had started the year off as musical geniuses, or something. Or maybe the band program just really improved.
I don't know.
Another things that was depressing was the fact that these little kids didn't have the wear the oppressive attire of black on bottom, white on top. OH NO. No. These kids were wearing shorts and gym shoes and t-shirts. And sprinkled in there were a couple kids who came in full concert attire who looked pretty much retarded.

But all of this makes me realize how inadequate my 5th grade band experience was.
If only I was young.

Whatevs.

Interlochen

So this summer I'm going back to Interlochen.
For all of you who have no idea what kind of place has such a tool-like name, I'll explain it to you.
It's an arts camp up in Michigan near the awesome city called Traverse City. When I say arts It includes music (band, orchestra, piano, ect.), fine arts (drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, whatevs), dance, theater (musical and not) and creative writing.
Sot it isn't just a performing arts camp, like Blue Lake and other places like that. For five years I've gone to Interlochen for music, specifically clarinet.

Six weeks of clarinet. Six hours a day. Every day.
It ruined me, no joke.

Interlochen is very much like school in the way that there is a set schedule every day and you attend classes and the teachers take attendance and stuff like that. Also, there's a uniform. For girls it's knee high socks, which are dark blue, neon red or baby blue depending on what division you are in. You wear a name tag at all times, which kinda weirded me out.
But anyway, getting back to what I'm doing during the summer, I'm going back to Interlochen. But not for Clarinet (thank jesus). I'm going for advanced drawing (yes, I'm super artsy (lol)). Anyway, I'm actually looking forward to Interlochen this year because I'll actually be doing an activity I really enjoy.
So I might talk about that more later.
Maybe.
(Probably (most definitely) not).

An Insight into life

It's been a while. Yeah, I know. But you know what, I'm okay with that. I've come to terms with my laziness so It's all good.
I'd like to mention that, the writer of this (pretty crappy) blog, which happens to be me, has really moved up in the world.

I'm the real deal now, because I am a government official.

Yeah, I know right! Crazy! Well, not a real government official, more like the little brother of an intern who works for a government official and gets him his starbucks every morning. That's kind of what boat I'm in.
Yeah, you probably guessed it. I made it on high school student council. Not as president, but as vice president, of the sophomore class. So actually pretty lame.
No one at school actually takes me seriously, which I've come to terms with. So the way I won this vice presidential election is by writing the most obnoxious speech ever. At least it was attention grabbing.
I might put it up here later. I worked super hard on it in the free period before the lunch period I was supposed to give the speech during.
I was lucky though because the speech only could be 60 seconds max, and I made mine like forty.
No I am not an overachiever. Thanks for pointing that out.
