I thought, why not try a couple of them out. So this is me, deciding to write about a different topic every &amp;nbsp;night. Tonight's agenda..... addicting webpages that I visit.&lt;br /&gt;I spend an ungodly amount of time on the internet, it's&amp;nbsp;embarrassing. If I had to choose the most visited sites on the web or if I took a quick peek at my browser history I would most likely see that my time on the interweb is split between these four places.&lt;br /&gt;1. Facebook&lt;br /&gt;2. Youtube&lt;br /&gt;3. Twitter&lt;br /&gt;4. IMDb&lt;br /&gt;I am a pop culture junky, I have been ever since I could remember, but hey, I'm not apologizing for it. I embrace it, I revel in it. So these are a few typical thoughts that wander through the minds of many sd sad teens s they kill their brin cells (mine included) on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; "hmmmm, is her profile picture better than mine?"&lt;br /&gt;"wowwww............"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; "hahahahahahahahahahahahaha"&lt;br /&gt;"yeah I could look like that too if I actually put in some effort"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;"I wonder if I get it in a different colour if she'll notice that it's the same shirt?"&lt;br /&gt;"holy man, I remember when she used to be cool"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; "gotta stop profile creeping"&lt;br /&gt;"i should probably be doing homework"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;"man this status is going to be liked sooo much"&lt;br /&gt;"they better like this status or I'll just repost it and repost it until somebody does muahhhaaahahaa"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I go on all these sites because I'm bored and I can't figure out what to do in my free time, or I'm trying to avoid doing anything productive. Needless to say, I'm a lazy bastard who enjoys watching people do weird and embarrassing things infront of cameras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;more quotesssss....&lt;br /&gt;" omg it's her Birthday! I totally did not know that... thanks facebook!"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;"eeew untag me please"&lt;br /&gt;"lol I wish there was a dislike button"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; "lol I wish you could like something more than once!"&lt;br /&gt;"they're not facebook official yet, you could still try"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;" look at that girl posting up pictures like she owns the place..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*disclaimer everyone, I hope that anyone who reads this knows that this is all and I mean all sarcastic.

I had just finished acting in the last production of our schools play and I would probably never be in another production again. And I felt an&amp;nbsp;overwhelming&amp;nbsp;sense of grief and sorrow. &amp;nbsp;What was I coming to? Where was I headed? I have no job barely any money and all I can accredit myself with is going to school. I was feeling unprepared, but I guess who doesn't at my age? It's scary as hell when you can't really see the light at the end of the tunnel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; So there I was sitting in a very uncomfortable wooden chair with my neck bent at an awkward angle so that I could read the chords and words to "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear", almost ready to burst into tears because I could literally feel myself shifting. Now is the time to do the crazy stuff, my inner voice says, Go get up LIVE!!! Don't get me wrong I have had my fair share of slightly&amp;nbsp;embarrassing&amp;nbsp;life experiences that I do not want to re live, but I think I will always that little nagging feeling at the back of my neck that urges me to do things like use all my savings to buy a one way ticket to New York and just bring my guitar and see how things go, or move to Hawaii and be a beach bum for a couple of months, I could go to Egypt and study the ancient pyramids for heavens sake! There are so many things that I want to do in my life. It just feels like I'm getting pressured into a lot of things that I don't think are very suitable. Be the doctor they say, you'll be great at it and don't forget to get me an aston martin when you're really rich, or be a lawyer or be anything as long as it has a 10 year plan and doesn't involve the arts. So many structured plans and rules and "supposed to's" I don't think I can handle it for much longer. Maybe that's just me being fussy but I really just feel I need to put around on my own before I go about making huge time consuming life draining decisions. don't you?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9012788384544085504-2922757383730226430?l=closebotheyes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://closebotheyes.blogspot.com/feeds/2922757383730226430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://closebotheyes.blogspot.com/2011/12/tired-and-tormented.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9012788384544085504/posts/default/2922757383730226430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9012788384544085504/posts/default/2922757383730226430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://closebotheyes.blogspot.com/2011/12/tired-and-tormented.html' title='Tired and Tormented'/><author><name>Michaela</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03993596996115085634</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
