It’s not MY fault I don’t like her

Today I got a lecture on what a bad sister I was:

Teacher: “Yeah! I swim an hour a day. I’m really fit you know.”
Class: -ahem-
Jay: “I started swimming when I was eleven.”
Random Guy: “What?! I learnt to swim when I was like four.”
Me: “LOL, I could swim when I was five.”
Jay: “Well that’s different..”
Me: “How? Even my sister can swim! And she’s like……”
Class: “FAIL, AWW.”
Me: “Shut up, I’m trying to think how old she is, she’s in.. umm..”
Teacher: “Oh the forgotten sister of yours. Shameful Pepper.”
Anne: “AHAH, LIKE EIGHT?”
Me: “OMG OMG! I KNOW! She’s ten this year.”

I’m a geek, not a freak or a gleek

I hate labels. Cool, Emo, Floater, Goth, Hippie, Jock, Loner, Loser, Nerd, Popular, Prep, Rebel, Stoner, Tool..... They are the only ones I can think of at the moment. But I’m such a hypocrite: I label people all the time. Once, a few friends & I drew up a map which incorporated each clique & their stereotype. But we couldn’t decide what our group’s stereotype was. We’re not popular (five peeps is hardly there), and we’re not cool or stoners. My bestie Ann dresses like an emo, but she acts preppy. My other bestie, Una, always dresses indie & hippy like, but is a total rebel, always getting into trouble. Then there’s BB -- A purple-haired freak who acts like a tool and wears brands such as Nike, Adidas, & Puma.
Maybe we’re losers?
These labels have got me feeling insignificant lately – I’m actually the “smart” gal, but it’s horrible when it’s the only thing people see you as & refuse to get to know you a lil’ bit better. Does anyone else get that? I’m sure heaps of people do.
I hate labels.

By the way, do y’all like my new header? My pal Blaize made it for me on a Windows program called Real Draw PRO; she wanted to draw it then scan it, but I stopped that from happenin’ (lol)! I’d prefer to have a simple, hideous header than a complex, good-lookin’ one. xx Peppercorn Swirls

I’m a nerd at English. But it’s fun being smart!

My English teacher handed this hilario sheet of info yesterday. Here’s a copy for you to read!:

THE LEANGUAGE PROBLEM !!!!!!!

THE EUROPEAN COMMISION HAS JUST ANNOUNCED AN AGREEMENT, WHEREBY ENGLISH WILL BE THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, RATHER THAN GERMAN, WHICH WAS THE OTHER POSSIVILITY.
AS PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS, THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT CONCEDED THAT ENGLISH SPELLING HAD SOME ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT, AND HAS ACCEPTED A 5-YEAR PHASE-IN PLAN THAT WOULD BE KNOWN AS “EURO-ENGLISH.”
IN THE FIRST YEAR, “S” WILL REPLACE THE SOFT “C”. SERTAINLY THIS WILL MAKE THE SIVIL SERVANTS JUMP FOR JOY. THE HARD “C” WILL BE DROPED IN FAVOUR OF “K”. THIS SHOULD KLEAR UP KONFUSION, AND KEYBOARDS KAN HAVE ONE LESS LETTER. THERE WILL BE GROWING PUBLIK ENTHUSIASM IN THE SEKOND YEAR WHEN THE TROUBLESOME “PH” WILL BE REPLACED WITH “F”. THIS WILL MAKE WORDS LIKE FOTOGRAF 20% SHORTER.
IN THE THIRD YEAR, PUBLIK AKSEPTANSE OF THE NEW SPELLING KAN BE EXPEKTED TO REACH THE STAGE WHERE MORE KOMPLIKATED CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE.
GOVERNMENTS WILL ENKOURAGE THE REMOVAL OF DOUBLE LETTERS, WHICH HAVE ALWAYS BEN A DETERRENT TO AKURATE SPELLING.
ALSO, AL WIL AGRE THAT THE HORIBL MES OF THE SILENT “E” IN THE LANGUAGE IS DISGRESFUL, AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY.
BY THE FOURTH YEAR, PEOPL WIL BE RESERTIV TO STEPS SUCH AS REPLASING “TH” WITH “Z” AND “W” WITH “V”.
DURING SE FIFZ YER, ZE UNESARY “O” KAN BE DROPD FROM VORDS KONTAING “OU”, AND AFTER ZUZ FIFZ YER, VE VIL HAV A REIL SENSIBL RITEN STYL. ZER WIL BE NO MOR TRUBL OR DIFIKULTIS, AND EVRIVIN VIL FIND IT EZI TU UNDERSTAND ECH OZA. ZE DREM OF A UNITED UROP VIL FINALI KUM TRU.
UND EFTER ZE FIFZ YER, VE VIL AL BE SPEKING GERMAN LIK ZEY VUNTED IN ZE FORST PLAS, !!!!!!!!!!!!! xx Peppercorn Swirls
