So I had my last two exams today and then got out early. Damn is it hot out. I only have, like eight weeks of summer this year, cuz of snow days. I personally, I think the standard ten weeks is too short. It should be at least fourteen weeks. I feel like the school year has gotten longer. Like 20 years ago, summer was three months. Now you're lucky if it's two and a half. And you used to get like three weeks for Christmas, my mom says. She's old, acourse...(just kidding. 
she's not even 40)
Speaking of my mom, now that summer is here, the two of us have started the annual Hair Battle. She wants me to take off my beanie like a sane person. I want to keep it on, because I love my beanie, and besides, I don't know what else to do with my hair. What I'd like is to cut it real short and bleach it soit's all spikey asnd I can dye it funny colors. The problem is, I have real thick frizzy hair, so I'd get, like, an afro. I could straighten it, but I do not have $70.00 for a straightener. Besides, the one time I got my hair straightened, it was frizzy again in less than 24 hours, so I'd be straightening it like every morning. What a pain in the butt. I spend too much time on my hair as it is.
Things are going okay other than that. Summer is here, so that's good. I really hate highschool. NOT looking forward to three more years of that crap. It's completely fried my brain. I was making a to do list for the summer, and you can clearly see my mental process breaking down as it goes along:
- GET summer job
- Get scanner
- Hang out with friends
- Plan Witchfire (my manga)
- Learn to play guitar
- Learn Japanese
- Play D&D
- Cosplay?
- Destroy moon
- Clean room
- Movie night
- Conquer Australia
- Time travel to 1930's Germany and kill Hitler
- Install N64 emulator
Okay, so I wasn't being entirely serious when I wrote this list, but still, it says a lot about my thought process. I cant be the only one who's a complete idiot as a result of being forced through the educational system for nine long months. Changing the subject, I just started listening to this great band called Jet. I really love their music, and I was really getting into them, when I looked up their Wikipedia page. Turns out, they split up,like, last summer. I feel like the universe hates my taste in music. Whatever, universe. Someone who was raised on Johnny Cash and The Beatles knows that music is not measured by age. Frankly, 98% of pop music makes me want to barf. I mean, it's not clever at all. It's just mindless noises and autotuned teenyboppers whining about sex. It's incredibly shallow. Let us compare: Here are lyrics from Selena Gomez' Come and Get It, currently 3rd on some chart (I can't be bothered to keep track of which)
You got the kind of love that I want, let me get that.
And baby once I get it I’m yours no take backs.
I’m gon’ love you for life I ain’t leaving your side
Even if you knock it ain’t no way to stop it
Forever you’re mine baby I’m addicted no lie, no lie
Profound, Selena! In contrast, here's lyrics from So Cruel by U2:
You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
I rest. My case. My case is so rested, I don't even remember what it's about. Music, I think. Here's a song I love (since there was no Song of the Week on Friday)
Have a good summer, everyone.
