I used to have these 2 Furcadian traditions: I would stay up to midnight on Christmas Eve and on New Years Eve. I already ended the Christmas one, and I see the New Years one ending this year too. They both lasted about 4 years, a long run when it's online.
I also used to stay up to midnight on Christmas Eve in real life as well, but this year it was broken, after 6 years of following it. But if one tradition still remains to be followed, would be the one where I stay up until New Years. It's the longer lasting one, lasting about 8 years and hoping to be continuing this year.
And I had a great Holiday, hope you did too, and have a Happy New Year.

The first one was a little more factual, this one is more about me.
Our school district is known for being the one that will try its very best to get kids to school. Before last year, we had only one snow day in 5 years, and that was when I was in 7th grade; I'm a Junior(11th grade) now. While everyone else averaged 2-5 snow days per year in that span. Sometimes we were the only ones open, which made us feel like crap.
We don't close because of snow alone, it's primarily the ice on the roads. If the buses can run, we're going to school since the majority of kids take the buses.
But now we got about 8-10 inches rolling through Tuesday and Wednesday, we just recovered from the 10 inches over Thursday night. Well, I gotta do some homework and hopefully relax later on. Later.

*yawn* Been a while since I've done one of these...
So, I live in Wisconsin, the land of cheese and apparently tons of snow. And for the past two weeks, we've have two snow days, one per week. Now, don't get me wrong, I love not going to school (especially since the last snow day was the last day before Winter break), but if we have more snow days, we're going to have to add time to the rest of the school year to make up lost time.
I dunno about the rest of the US or world, but our school district has a set number of hours of school it has to meet per year. Yeah, so if we miss a lot of school, we get to stay longer for the rest of the year. How do I know? Because we had to add 8 minutes to school because of 2 snow days we had last year. So we'll see...

Note: This isn't going to be about the election whatsoever.
'It's time for a change,' is what most people say to... other people at some time in life, but recently, it's affected me more than usual. All this talk about a new President and time for a change, that's all fine and dandy, but coincidentally, it's happening in my life as well.
Before, I was different. Had different beliefs, ideas, opinions than now. Such as: I believed I was going to be on Furcadia until at latest, my Senior year of high school, I believed that teenagers respond more positively to non-nice people, I could not even look at someone who I liked more than a friend.
Those times are gone. And by those times, I mean before the summer of '08. Now, I could careless whether or not people love me, I revamped my personality to who I really am than just pretending to be someone else like I did for the last 4 years, and as of now, I left Furcadia indefinately.
I decided to leave... June or July-ish. I feel as though after 8 years as a member of the Furcadian community, it was time to leave. I may come back, but I'm 95% sure it's done. Oh, I'll be on once a while, just not on my main, Fairplay.
Note: It seems to be the first blog in November, and on election day, and this is about change. I so did not plan this out xD

Mm... not sure I spelt the title right xD. Anyway, the reason I decided to blog for the first time in about a month give or take a few weeks is because I had one of those deep thoughts. The main point I thought about was whether or not I am depressed.
The argument I put forth to... myself is that I have every sort of reason to be depressed; no social life, no one close to me, my friends would rather hang out with someone else most of the time, people making fun of me, just the usual things you would expect to see.
And that's just it, you would expect me to be depressed, but I'm not. Really, I'm fine with who I am and I enjoy going to school every day because there is no such thing as the expected there. Everytime I re-think where I stand in the school hierarchy, it puts a smile on my face.
Bottom line, I fall under the nerd category or the ghost category. I know it, but that's not going to stop me from being myself. I guess it's easier to not be depressed when could give less than a crap of what everyone thinks of me. In my honest opinion, peer pressure is and has always been inside people's heads. Meaning it only exists if you make it.

I'm sure you've all heard of that saying at least once in your life, and I'm pretty sure it annoys you when someone says it to you. Or you heard of it's cousin, "Put up or shut up." But as I was thinking about my upcoming Junior year, I reflected back to middle school and past grades; in particular, past friends. And the reason why I say 'past' is because they're not anymore.
I've have friends say, "Come on man, do you honestly think I would do drugs." And now? The only reason they come to school is just because to smoke and do crack with their friends.
Some have said, "Right, like I would have sex with random people just because I heard it was good." Now? They're known infamously throughout the school as whores.
And there are others out there, but I knew they were going to turn, so I didn't become as close with them. Now I've become better at determining whether people are saying crap, or are actually doing it.
What about me? You think, 'Yeah yeah, you talk big, but you've probably said crap and haven't lived up to it.' Fine, here are the things I've said to my friends:
"It's not hard to get up and do presentations in front of classes"(Still not, actually looks forward to doing so)
"I'm not going to drink or have sex until the proper ages."(Still kept)
"Psh me? I'm not wearing jeans until my senior year of high school just because."(Still haven't to this day)
"The big thing for me? I'm going to college, no matter what." (Entering Junior year: 4.0 GPA)
"I'm not afraid, I'm not going out with anyone until at least college." (Broke once, currently refuses to go out again until doing so)
Sure, I get temptations to break my word, but then I look at what has happened to my friends in the past, and I walk away from the temptation.

There is no question here; looking back at my childhood and even now, I was and am spoiled by my parents. And the classic stereotypes of spoiled people is that they never had to do anything, that they're snooty, stuck-up little punks who you want to kill(probably).
But by the time I was 8 or so, I realized that my life sucked. It was boring, I wanted to do things on my own, to be treated as who I am, which is part of the reason I enjoyed Furcadia so much. I was treated as a human being; the ups and downs. I went through more life changing experiences in Furcadia than in real life, and that made me who I am today. People could give less of a crap about you if you made a bad impression.
Whether or not you like me, I learned it's better to not care. People have their beliefs and no one can take that away from anybody.
This blog seems incomplete somehow... whatever. Those who know me know who I am.

To me, it's the halfway point in the summer season. I don't know about you, but this one seems to have gone faster than I thought. As soon as August rolls around, I'll have to start thinking about school things and prepare for it around mid-August.
Not to depress anyone, you should enjoy these moments and take care of business when that time comes. I just have a lot of free time and my mind wanders around.
Some of you don't care what month or day or year it is because you work everyday and the only thing that changes in your eyes is the temperature. Or maybe you live in a place that doesn't experience each season.
Well this blog has been unorganized for long enough. I got to do some summer homework for my Calc. class this coming year. Later!

I've been wanting to do this blog for a while. So I was watching these two videos where 5 people are talking about how the internet is going to 'die.' The basic facts are that many, if not all, major ISP companies are talking about making the internet like tv. That means for a fee, you can get access to mainstream sites (YouTube, Wiki, MySpace etc...) and each site you visit outside what you signed up for costs a little to access it. This is the death of internet because those small sites are going to have next to no visitors and people will not want to pay for something that was once free, making a further decrease in population online. Some of you probably won't or don't believe it, if you are interested, contact me on FurreFace and I'll give you the links for the 2 videos. I personally was a skeptic, but now I believe it. And sources say it's going to hit Canada first before the world.
