Essay: Intro

Do you seek Amy?
f-u-c-k-n-o-?

Disclaimer: I'm just writing, and blogger's just my medium. Yay! Crits appreciated, but honestly... this is more for myself...^^

This is a world of computers, internet, and global connectivity.
Flip on the computer, IM, blog, email, and most infamously... facebook...*dum-dum dum*
This is the first in a series of essays [ironically written on blogger] to voice maybe what we all have been thinking at the back of our minds. This is addicting. Ridiculous. Time consuming.
And yet we do it.
Procrastination! There was a study that compared facebook users to non-facebook users... guess who consistantly had better grades?
Facebook offers a world of knowing 'more people,' communicating with more people, jokes and amusement and something to do when bored.
Yet I'm worried we're breeding a new generation slowly becoming less and less personal--a new era in Western, US life. Less personal and more 'popular.'
Another study showed that peeple who spend considerable time with online communication are less facially expressive. *remembers reading that*
That's the loss of personality. The other part is popularity... when was the last time you walked to a friends house to say hello, unplanned? That was common 'back in the day.' The last time you study-grouped, talked with people's parents, hung at someone's house, had a deep conversation with someone. When was the last time you initiated something, took the first step. Man upped. When was the last time you made a new, close friend?

Looking back, I'm thinkin to myself... whoa. Where'd they go? What happened to my 'core friends'? Let's see. Ben. He's dependable, and during the time I set aside for him, we laugh loud, hilariously, and still manage to inject conversation with a touch of...something. Anita. She's a good listener and knows how to make me laugh. And then suddenly... wait a second. Andrew? I have a brotherly rivalry towards him, though.

I find myself moving closer to that [all around popular] but [lack core friendship group] area, and... well...

[truth]: There are very few people I can confide in
[truth]: Haven't been lookin'.

Here's where being proactive comes in. Proactivity! Trying to become more active... and it's paying off. Running extra leads to talking with Matt and Kristine, opens oppertunities to get faster, stay in shape, and let me have a hilarious afternoon with Andrew, Kevin, Jonathan at the tennis courts.

And boom. Here are friends right here.

Y'see, proactivity is just doing as many sports as you can, cramming as many AP classes as possible, working your butt off.

It's the effort to say hi and make conversation. To laugh loud, confide in others, take that first step towards...well...everything. Break procrastination.
And in this world full with internet, cell phones, texting, IM, well... it's gonna be a habit hard to break...

[first in a four? part essay?]

Name: Larry
Location: at home
Mood: cramming
Favorite Snack Food: chips or gummies :]
Catchphrase:
APs?! How many, when, thoughts on them? Or (if, by the time you are answering this, they are already over) how did you do? 1--AP World. Apparently it's really easy but i'm worried D=
How are les enfants?
They're cramming. Not much else to say.
The older one programmed a game in Java. You have two characters (by character's I mean letters or numbers, not animated living creatures) that bounce around on the screen. The goal of the game is to squish one out of the screen. It really isn't a very exciting game.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Do you seek Amy?
Hmm... If it makes you happy, I have no problem with you if-you're-seek-ing aMy.
And you your reaction is 'Really, Preston?', my response is, Why put it up on the initial tag in the first place? Askin' for it...x]
[-ing like rabbits] is another fun phrase!
How are the kids? They're...[insert here]!

...*sighs*
Anyways, on to the serious stuff...

ANNOUNCEMENT

It's officially Mother's day. . . !
If you don't tell your mom you appreciate her, if you don't tell your mom you love her... heck, if you forgot or if you didn't get her anything,
Preston's gonna say 'wow.'Wow! You're coooolll...*coughlosercough*
So cool you deserve a ten [censored] cent hallmark card [censored]-ing stuck up your [censored]-ing [censored]-[censored] [censored].
AHAHAHAHAAAA... i.e.... you failfailfailfailllllllll...at life.
Mmk. -.-"

But seriously? Moms, dads... they don't get enough appreciation as it is. They aren't given a maual, they're about as knowlegeable as you are... and yet they raise you the best they can, put up with your complaining, whining, sulking, moods...
They love you. They make sacrifices for you. They've sacrificed their entire middle aged life for you! Remeber to thank them, give them a hug, treat 'em both extra special tonight. You chance to show them, well, you love them! Which, hopefully, you do...x]

Tonight, or last night, was the first annual 'Parent Appreciation Night' at my church!
And I served my parents dinner, made them dessert, and gave a rambling[kinda] but hopefully heartfelt speech about them 'tolerating' me at home when I'm late, when I use up all the hot water in the shower...x] Despite bing far from a perfect son... they have my back.
And standing back... there's not one time they've chosen to abandon me. Thankyou, mom, dad!
I love them so muchhh...
But I'm not done yet! Tomorrow is Mother's day...^^"

Now it's your turn. What are you going to do? What did you do?
Time to rock and roll...! =]
Have fun!

YAY I WON.

ALJHFD.
okay anyway. the kids are studying for dear life, or at least attempting. THEY'RE EXHAUSTEDDDDD. Also they're getting really boring. None of them are saying anything interesting. One of the boys wants a spiky pink banana to fall from the sky into a hollowed out CAN-eloupe. This is how bored he is.
They also ARE EXCITED FOR FPS-INTERNATIONAL but think that all the hype about H1N1 is reeeeeedikalus. Sheeeshhhh. && needs to practice writing actionplan/solutions FASTER. *deadfish*
*YAWWWWN*
Anita's going to sleep REAL soon.
One girl is really not wanting to do Monday-Stairs tomorrow. *sobs* WHYYYY. But oh well. x.x" she won't die. MAYBE.

Good thing it's not September? I think.

May...Beware the ides of...May....

How are the children? Getting fatter. They'll go on diets after the AP tests. But right now, they find much comfort in food. mmm.
