Shipping

For people who haven't heard this term its when you think two people would be great in a relationship (usually romantic) and this has caused fanfictions (or vice versa I'm not sure). Though this is relatively new to me. Mostly (I find that} it's two guys that are shipped.

For example:

•  Dan and Phil (Phan)
• Markiplier and Jacksepticeye (Septiplier)
• Harry and Draco (Drarry)
• Sherlock and John (Johnlock)

And people invest very heavily in this but I don't fully understand why. Or it's maybe as Dan (Howell) put it in one of his videos "living vicariously through others".

But even if I don't understand it, I do find it entertaining. For a while my friends were righting fanfics about one another which was very funny. Also my one friend has made it her mission to figure out who to ship the guys with (for one another) and that's funny too.

So I guess I do sort of understand it but I don't really have the capability to actually figure out who would be good together (or whatever compels the ship) and actually emotionally invest in it.

[I apologize if I've insulted someone's otp (for those of you who don't know what that means it's One True Pairing). Don't take any of this personally I just don't get that emotionally invested.]

Black Notebook

Lately, I've been carrying this one black notebook around with me - mostly to school. No matter what, I have it with me and I usually carry it, instead of keeping it in my backpack. There is nothing very special about this notebook...except for the fact that it has the power to drive a few of my friends crazy.

I will write in it but then as soon as anyone comes close or moves their head to take a look at what I'm writing I will immediately slam it shut, even if I'm in the middle of a word. But by doing this it makes mt friends very curious as to what I'm writing in there.

Most people tend to guess that it's a diary or a journal (although I have told them many times that I do not have the vigilance to keep a diary/journal, nor do I have anything very interesting that's going on in my life. Then they guess some other silly stiff like a fanfiction (but to actually be able to write one I need a co-author or just someone to help with ideas), love letters (xD no) and even a deathnote.

One time I was writing in it at lunch and I was sort of angled away from my one friend that is deathly curious about it but I was angled slightly towards another and one minute I was happily writing then the next I hear the friend I was slightly angled towards, right near my ear ask me how my quiz went, I panicked (because I had no idea how long she could have been there), gasped,  slammed the book shut, and then couldn't properly breathe for a few minutes, although she reassured me she hadn't seen anything it took me a while to calm down enough just to reply to her question.

I really love this notebook, it drives people crazy (I like seeing people freak out over it although it's not very important) and it gives me something to do when I'm bored. Even though I do panic on occasion and need to keep constant watch over it, writing in this notebook helps me think.

Shape-Shifting

I really wish I could shape-shift.

I mean isn't it better than any of the other powers (except for probability manipulation). Because for mind-reading, yes it would be a good power to have but you don't really want to know what everyone thinks of you. And flight that would be cool to but what's the point of having flight without being able to be invisible at the same time? 

Though if you could shape-shift you could just become something that can fly and your power could stay hidden. And for invisibility you could just sort of become something that fits into your surroundings.

With shape-shifting you could become anything a dragon, a wolf, an owl, a bee. Whatever. I feel like the other powers would be confining in a way. 
Flight: that's it nothing else you can fly. 
Invisibility: simple enough become shy and don't talk a lot voila you are (in a way) invisible. 

With becoming an animal, you have the heightened senses, along with the abilities that are species specific. Yes, if you wanted to keep it a secret I guess shape-shifting might not be too much fun for some people who would want to show it off (not me). 

Imagine it: while camping you are exploring the forest and there is no one around why not become a wolf? You can suddenly enjoy you can suddenly enjoy your explorations on a deeper level, more scents, you can run and you can feel so free.

There is quite a lot of stories, legends, myths, etc. surrounding this idea, Like werewolves but they have no power over the transformations. Also Mystique, in X-Men where she could shape-shift herself into whatever she wanted.

So the power to shape-shift would be really great to have (especially if you can control the transformations) , some people might want to use it to become a hotter version of themselves, gradually. But no, I would prefer to be a dragon or something like that.

Taste in Music

When I was in grade seven my favourite bands/singers was stuff like:

• One Direction
• Taylor Swift
• Demi Lovato
• Carly Rae Jepsen

Now I'm going into grade eleven and I think back "I was so stupid why did I ever like those songs" because now my favourite bands/singers are:

• Machine Head
• Pierce the Veil
• All Time Low 
• Panic at the Disco
• Hatebreed
• Unearth
• Trivium

And a few others.

When my Dad had to help me find the cds I was looking for he said "He was so proud" when he found them in the punk section.
Now that I am into pop punk and metal (? I'm not good at classifying genres) I'm wondering how did I ever like the stuff on the radio.


YOU KNOW THAT YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC HAS IMPROVED WHEN YOU DON'T ENJOY LISTENING TO THE RADIO ANYMORE.

Guelph

Guelph has got to be the most boring city on earth!

There is nothing to do in Guelph (Ontario), when you look up "Top ten things to do in Guelph". You get stuff like this:

• shop at the Old Quebec street mall (here's a big secret...there are only 3 or 4 actual shops in that mall and one store is a dollarstore!)
• and every other suggestion is "go visit places like church of our lady or the Sleeman centre or certain restaurants. 

OH YAY I HOPE I DON'T DIE FROM ALL THAT EXCITEMENT I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF ALREADY!!!!     

Now what is a person to do in a city that is so boring-nothing that's why instead of being outside doing fun stuff, I'm sitting here righting this and after I'm done I'm going to watch youtube videos! (Yay me)   

Dance

Royal Rhythm is my school's dance club. It takes place every September to the end of November and it ends with three showcases, a feeder school performance, a performance for the parents and a performance for the school. I really like this club because I like dancing but I don't have very much experience also this club gives me something to do other than homework.(I can dance in front of over 100 people and yet I can't do a 3 minute speech in front of my class-go figure.) Also my friends are planning tho choreograph some of the dances.

To the point, the school is thinking about doing a musical instead of Royal Rhythm! I don't get it the plays the school also does takes care of the acting and the talking, while royal Rhythm takes care of the music and the dancing and both the plays and the dancing have meaning. IT WORKS THE WAY IT IS!! But what really makes me mad is when people say dancing has no meaning or dancing isn't a sport. Heeeellllllllooooooo dancing is a sport: 

Let's see a football player do that. Dance takes flexibility, endurance and strength. IT IS A SPORT!
 Also dance has meaning because the choreographer needs to be inspired by something and find a song that would work and then come up with some dance moves. Yeah, dance is just so easy (sarcasm).
