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

How fun! :) Little things that prove I’m unique in my own special way. So here, in no particular order, are the things that make me unique.

I’m unique in the way that I walk around with sticky tape on my face to see how many peeps tell me it’s there.

I’m unique in the way I pone all the guys at metalwork.

I’m unique in the way I don’t have many friends; just a small circle of close pals.

I’m unique in the way I find horror movies funny & comedies boring.

I’m unique in the way I keep spiders & other creepy-crawly creatures as pets.

I’m unique in the way I chat with teachers on Facebook.

Have a great holidays, people! xx Peppercorn Swirls

Gary Unmarried took over Amazing Race’s time, pushing TV Burp to 9.30. GRRR...!

No, I didn’t fall off an elefant. But I wish I did. I don’t know who started those rumours at school; it’s def not true. I did ride an elefant on my holiday in Africa last month+week though, & emailed a pic to my pal Ann of it. Maybe, no... Ann’s not like that. I think. However, I did shatter my bones. In Tasmania. Last Month. It’s still bandaged.
I’ve got six CDs to import. *Yay* Finally, songs on my “iPod”. I’m too lazy to download songs :P
Okay so anyways, today I went to MT school. Yeh, next week’s oral so we did basically oral the whole day. During the period BB lost her voice, so she couldn’t talk – literally she was talkin’ sooo softly. Like mime. Until after class break when she finally got her voice back, haha.
Changed from Extension Science1 to some photography course & took photos with my digital when sir wasn’t lookin’. Got to upload them soon, but again, too lazy.
I’m also too lazy to change my blog skin, which is annoying me at the moment, but I guess I shouldn’t waste time on it ‘cause I take 4ever to choose a decent template.
And I’m debating over whether or not to change my URL, or maybe creatin’ a new blog entirely where I try to post often but fail miserably ‘cause I’m too lazy, have friends over 12/4, are addicted to Myspace/Facebook/Twitter/OceanUp/Neopets, and always usually have nothin’ better to talk ‘bout save for H&A, T-Swift, school, The Tings, and playing my bass which I’m still learnin’ how to play. Oh well.
peace out. xx Peppercorn Swirls
