Quote of the Day #2

"I'm out of touch, I'm out of love.  I'll pick you up when you're getting down.  And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now."

-Lego House by Ed Sheeran

Quote of the Day #1...inspired by Tales of a High School Bookworm

Life's always a little better with laughter.

And a bonus:
"Has it been too long since I went away?  'Cause I'm trying to find the words that I can barely say."
-I Can Barely Say by The Fray

By the way...

Although there are some funny things to be said about each clique in high school, I want to make something really clear.  It's funny to just sit back and observe people, but sometimes people can jump to conclusions about others.  Before you judge someone, take a minute to talk to them and get to know them and then make your judgment.  That's what I always try to do, and it helps, so try it for yourself!

High school stereotypes, part 2

So, last time, I tackled the popular kids for High School Stereotypes.  This time around, I'm gonna talk about the anime fans.  Yes, you know who I'm talking about.  I think there's a group of them in every school, and they are quite obvious.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the anime fans, but these are just...observations.

First of all, they all stick together...very closely.  That way, they can discuss the newest edition of their favorite anime book together because no one else really knows what they are talking about.  Have you ever really tried to understand what they are talking about?  It's like a big Japanese fest, and considering I don't understand a single word of Japanese, I feel like the best thing to do is just smile and nod because that's the only thing I know how to do.

Secondly, they usually have a really interesting fashion sense, inspired by Japanese culture.  And they aren't afraid to speak their mind, even if what's on their mind is a little off-topic.  It leaves a lot of people really confused.

But, I have to admit that the anime fans that I know are really nice and really easy to talk to.  Sure, sometimes they can be a little off-topic, but when you get used to it, they can be cool people.  Who knows, maybe they can even teach you how to say some phrases in Japanese... ;)

Just checkin' in...

So, I know that I'm supposed to be right in the middle of my "High School Stereotypes" series, but school has been killer lately. I promise that as soon as I can, I will continue, but life has been busy. Just wanted to let you all know that I still exist. :) By the way, I was checking out my audience stats, and it was incredibly awesome to see that people from almost every continent have been checking out my blog...how exciting is that?!? Keep checking back, and I promise I will try to blog as soon as I can.
