It's probably not bothering any of you but it's bothering me!
I suck at keeping a schedule for this blog... Although it might help if the last week and a half hadn't been spent at university more than my house. I'm not even exaggerating.
And then the second I stop working, I mean literally about half an hour after I finished an essay, I get tiny chicken disease!!!
The hell! Tiny chickens get out of my head now please!
I'm going to take this in the sense of friend's rather than romantic interests. Also I only have half an hour left for this post to count and for me to still be successful at this so I'm gonna try and make this quick.
I tend to gravitate towards people who have similar interests in myself. At least a little bit. However I can be quick to change my opinion of people once I get to know them. If you're quiet then I'll be more likely to talk to you than if you're loud and brash. But if I don't like you once I get to know you then I won't stick around.
The personalities of people I tend to like are the people who will be straight with you, they'll tell you when you screw up, they'll tell you when you do something they don't like and they'll expect you to treat them the same way. I also tend to have more girl friends than boys, probably because I'm a really girly girl at heart and like to have people to share this with. I also go for people who don't hide their feelings, I like my friends not to look at me like a loony when I spew out all my emotions all over them. (Nice image in your head there? Hehe).
The simplest way to put it I guess is if you're nice to me, then I'll be nice to you.

So the recent thing that people (that I've told) seem to find a bit odd is I like watching Youtube videos. No I don't mean the ones of the cute cats or the other animals doing funny things. I mean the ones that people make which feature people, not animals, and aren't about how cute or funny something is. Also when I say I watch them I mean it's become a sort of obsession.
As in I found this Youtube account about a month or so ago. They have a total of 872 videos (as of writing this blog...) starting in 2007 and going all the way up to today. (Yes I mean today, John Green uploaded a video 3 hours ago according to Youtube). Now why am I telling you this? Well since discovering this glorious collection of videos I have watched almost all of them. I am currently somewhere in the midst of March 2011. I've watched these 2 brothers grow and it's really jokes to see how people change. I've also learnt a whole bunch of really awesome stuff and been introduced to some pretty nerdy inside jokes. (French the Llama, puppy sized elephants, stuff on your head, in your pants, in my pants and giant squids of anger are but a few).
Chances are that if you watch their videos and like them then you are a Nerdfighter.
I hope you watched that video because if you didn't and you're confused about what a Nerdfighter is I'm not going to explain it!
The really amazing thing to see is not how the brothers themselves have changed, it's how they've changed the world around them and the face of Youtube itself. From a project which started out as 2 brothers trying to only communicate through video blogs for a year it's spawned an entire community. They've created events both virtual and in real life that are highly successful. In their backlog of videos you'll find many different genres. There are funny, happy, sad, angry, educational, musical, scientific, mathematical, literacy, drunk, ill, sleepy, cute and thoughtful videos. Not to mention the countless videos encouraging you to give to charities and explaining what those charities do and how they decrease world suck. I genuinely think there is something there that everyone will enjoy and I hope you go check them out.
Another couple of Youtubers who I follow are nerimon and charlieissocoollike. I literally only just realised that the only people who I regularly watch the videos of are guys. Weird...
So I hope you don't all think I'm a complete freak now for watching hours and hours of Youtube videos but I genuinely have learnt a lot whilst doing it. For instance I now know who Phineas Gage was, what a quark is and that the Webb telescope is pretty much the most awesome thing to be sent into space ever!
Ok so it's officially only 52 minutes until I turn 21. Then I will be able to legally drink alcohol in all of the US states. Which will be helpful if I ever go to the US and fancy a cocktail or two.
I've not posted in a bit because... Well if I'm honest I just got a bit annoyed at this entire blogging thing. Not particularly with my blog but with some others that I've been following. Maybe I'm getting the idea of a blog entirely wrong but surely you write a blog because you like to write? And if you like to write then you should care about how you write. No? So if both of these things are true then you should care about your spelling and grammar? (Feel free to leave a comment if you think I'm talking crazy.)
I've been following a lot of blogs recently and it infuriates me to see people writing blogs with incorrect spelling and grammar. This vexes me most when it's someone whose first language is English. If you can't be bothered to learn how to write your own language properly then why are you bothering with a blog? A blog is all about writing! Have some respect and pick up a dictionary once in a while.
Sorry for the rant but this is a pet peeve of mine and really gets me wound up!
If, like me, you prefer your grammar and spelling to be correct at all times then you might like this book.
It's a very good and amusing read! I know that I picked up on a lot of grammar that I didn't know about or had forgotten from this book.
