And your problem is?

So I was checking the stats to my story, which is now 23 chapters long I am happy to say and I notice that I have a new review. I’m always happy to get them, but this one kind of struck a nerve with me. Out of allllllll the chapters I’ve written the only thing this person could find to pick at me for was…a comma! This to me is someone who has zero time on their hands that you can read so much and that’s the only thing you take away from it. Not that the story is any good (which at the end they said they liked it) but that the commas are where THEY don’t think they should be. Now to my knowledge of Microsoft Word (at least on my version for Mac) it corrects sentence errors as well. Sentence fragments, a semi-colon should go here, etc. I re-read my stories over before posting them and I just think it’s lame of you to leave me a review about a stupid comma! What? Do you have something against commas? Did they torture you when you were in grammar school? Did they haunt you in your dreams? It’s a stupid comma! Get over it! On a happier note…guess who is going to be getting their hands on a new Canon 50D soon? I am so excited! I have been looking to upgrade my little Rebel XT for quite some time now and was actually going to make the big leap and get the Canon 5D Mark II but after seeing and hearing about these so called “black dots” that seem to mysteriously appear in some of the pictures and also the fact that my lenses would not be compatible with it, I decided to just slow my row and go with a major / minor amatuer upgrade. Seems fair to me. While the 5D Mark II is tempting I have to remind myself I am still very much a rookie and I need to take baby steps and not leap right into the big guns. My photography teacher and his little Rebel XSI are totally jealous. Ha ha. Random pointless entry, but I felt the need to update you guys on my life and the comma lady kicked me into updating.

Snow In New Orleans!

Snow In New Orleans!, originally uploaded by The Epileptic.

You heard right. It snowed today! I am probably just as baffled as you are, but than again I didn live in Jersey City, NJ for about 17 and a half years of my life so snow is no big deal to me. My grandparents however were all excited. Snow to them is like a huge deal, but I was confused by one thing. Why are people walking out in the snow with umbrellas? No offense, but no umbrella is going to protect you from that, but my friend gave me some insight into why, they simply don’t get enough snow to even know what to do when it happens. LoL! All the kids at school were flipping out and the girls were all complaining about having to walk across campus in the snow, but luckily they sent us all home on a Snow Day. So it’s safe to say I am getting a tiny taste of my former home, which I do miss tremendously so it was nice to be able to reminisce even for a little.

No Motivation

I haven’t updated this thing in forever! Now here’s the part where I make up all these lame excuses for why. Bottom line I’m just not that interested anymore. I went back to regular schooling (I’m in class as we speak and my teacher is definitely glaring at me) and it’s been consuming most of my time. I still work part-time with my grandpa and I’ve lately become really into my story and Animal Crossing City Folk. Most addicting game ever made and also the dumbest. I mean who really gets a kick out of talking to animals and fishing all day? Apparently I do! so there are my excuses take them or leave them either way I could care less!

Well It Started Off Bad and Ended Just the Same

I woke up this morning with a stopped up nose and I thought my nose was starting to run, but than I wiped it with a napkin and saw blood. How nice. Way to start off the day. It didn’t last long though so I can’t complain. Than I went to my grandpa’s place of business where I will be doing most of my home schooling. It’s closer to home and I will have someone around to watch me just to make sure I don’t have a seizure and accidentally kill myself It could happen. It was quiet at first until his customers started to show up and than it got loud. My grandpa is a vet so you can imagine some of the noises that go on in there. They also have a cat that just roams the halls as it pleases and anyone who knows me knows I hate cats! Just seeing it walking down the hall past the office door made me want to throw my text book at it just to hear it shriek and run away. I know I’m really mean. I did manage though to get my schooling done and after we finished my grandpa let me go out into the lobby and just whenever they needed me they could come grab me and show me what to do. I actually had to hold down a dog today while they muzzled him and it was really scary. I think he may have been possessed, but I’m not quite sure Than when it was time to leave he informs me that he wants to go try and absentee vote. Bad idea they had a line out the door so he said forget that he’ll try another day. It’s kind of sad though that there’s only one voting place where we live. Lame! Anyways I’m home now and I am sooooo exhausted! I know I didn’t do anything remotely interesting or difficult, but still it wore me out.
