Okay, before I begin this rant. John Green is a great author, with a really good writing style. He has other really good books and really good ideas and an eloquent way of expressing his ideas, but I just need to DISCUSS MY FEELINGS about The Fault in Our Stars right now.
My biggest problem with the book is the characters. Augustus and Hazel. They have cancer, and they live close to death - I UNDERSTAND. It is sad, and they have a different perspective and life. But I literally do not see a time where I will meet teenagers who talk with metaphors and similes and deep reflections on life like (below is an example of a situation in which two teenagers are talking. One responds like how Augustus and Hazel do):
Teenager 1: why do u like me so much
Teenager 2: I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.
Teenager 1: ok
OKAY?
OKAY.

S - BLOG RESPONSES and Updates
Hope everybody is having a great Tuesday! Tomorrow is the middle of the week, so after you get past Wednesday, the week is basically done with. Well, maybe that's a bit of a stretch.
I am laughing at the post "Wasted Opportunities" because it sounds like a deep reflection on life, when it really wasn't. Well, I guess it kind of was a deep reflection, but it wasn't presented deeply. In the-person-who-I-will-not-name's defense, he was not THAT hot.
In response to Esee's post, WOW Esee your room must be really organized. I haven't seen your room in almost three years. Have you made any big changes to it?
Tomorrow I have an UV test to study for (not the real name of the test, I'm making sure that internet creepers don't find out what academic program I am in). Wish me luck you guys! I am kind of stressed out, but I am not trying to freak out too much.
I am super duper excited for folklife!!! Except I was really disappointed that I'm not seeing And. Oh well.
When does SC get out for summer?
Also has Roxy been alerted of the blog's revival.
ALSO, DON'T FORGET TO ADD LABELS ON YOUR POSTS!

A- Wasted opportunities
Recently, I have seen a lot of open windows of opportunity that have been thoughtlessly passed by. It's such a waste to me when someone gets an opportunity to get something that I really want, but they don't take it or refuse it. One of my friends, Christy, heard that this really hot guy named Jus was going to ask her to prom. Thought he is extremely hot, she decided that she was afraid of black d**** and didn't really want to go with him :'( This is one of the biggest wasted opportunities I have ever seen.
Another person I know, who's name I won't name, didn't immediately take the offer of a really hot guy asking her to star bucks.
These chances will never come again! You'll probably never regret the things you did, but you will always regret the things you didn't do!
So this kind of interesting guy was going to ask me to prom, and I was talking to Aids and she said that if she were me, she would have said yes just to go and that I could have just hung out with her and her friends. I feel like prom would be really fun, but I don't want to go with him and I feel like I'd be using him just to go. But anyways, I feel like this is kind of a wasted opportunity even though I'm not going.

A- In response to excessive organization
Before you read this, read E's post right before this one.
That made me laugh so hard! I must add to the list. Whenever I eat a tic tac from E's, she makes sure that one of us eats the light pink one and one of the dark pink one so there's an equal amount. And on the subject of candy, whenever E gets a new box of candy she has to sort the things into piles. Not to mention, her closet is organized in rainbow order. I know that after you pick on yourself, other people shouldn't pick on you but I couldn't help it.

E- Excessive Organization
So, I've realized my need to be organized/I-don't-know-what-else-to-call-it is getting a bit excessive. Last night, I stayed up an hour later than I intended because I was organizing my closet, so I ended up going to sleep at 12:30 or so. And knowing me and how little sleep I get, I could have used the extra hour. But instead I organized my closet- like who does that?? Me. But hey, I enjoyed it and it was very satisfying afterwards so that's good right?
Another example is when I was getting myself a snack after school, and I decided to get myself crackers and cheese. And there's that whole problem of not wanting way more crackers than cheese and vice versa. But you can't get the same number of crackers as cheese because I use 2/3 of a slice of cheese per cracker. So I literally stood there and did the math so I would have the exact right number of crackers to go with my slices of cheese. I dunno about you but that seems a bit excessive. And it's only a snack! It's literally no big deal, but I make it one ahaha.
But lets be honest, does any of this come as a surprise to you? My guess is no ahah.
I'm so weird...

S - Reflections on the Atmosphere of this Blog
I FEEL LIKE THE BONDS WITHIN our "possey" THAT WERE WEAKENING HAVE BECOME REVIVED AGAIN UPON READING THESE POSTS. I still have not heard from Roxy but I think it's because she has not been informed yet.
Sometimes when I miss SC I think about funny memories of our possey from elementary school to freshman year. Here are a few:
- The egg wedding (I have several pictures on my phone if anyone needs reference)
- 3rd period geometry, grade 8
- Homecoming and how we all danced awkwardly
- Halloween trick or treating when weirdgreenman made us like 20 minutes late and everyone was mad
- SCIENCE CLUB
-Stella
A-Hey y'all
I'm so happy that this blog is started up again! Looking at the past history, it seems that all of us stopped writing for long periods of time. It's so funny to see how dumb we were/are, and I just had the biggest flashback to 7th grade. Esee says that we have matured and stopped saying weird things, but don't forget, "oh bahh"
It would be really fun to have a possey reunion (spelled wrong on purpose)
Remember when we used to all eat together everyday and we had days in the middle and we had like a designated table? Now we all eat at different place AND different schools *stella*
I'll try really hard to post often!!

S - WE'RE BACK (kinda)
Hello fellows of the blogging world! THIS BLOG IS BACK. Well, it's half revived. 1/2 of our members have remembered that the blog exists and are willing to continue to make it a thing. Hopefully the others will remember it, too. Except we probably won't post like every hour like we did in middle school. Probably just a few times a month. But I think that's how a blog is actually supposed to work.
Anyways, here is an update on the highlights of the past few years, so that you kinda know what's been going on:
2011-2012: High school was weird and we were all awkward ducklings with yellow fuzz. E and I were obsessed with tumblr.
2013-2014: Things kinda got less awkward. Everyone got really cool and E got an iPhone. S switched schools. Esee and And got licenses.
2013-2014: Everyone is really busy and assimilated into high school. A is taken now. R is still sporty and in crew.
Well, hope you're all doing well!
BTW - If you were reading those lists I made of my favorite songs from middle school...my music taste is a lot better now. I cringe as I read those lists.

E- WOW! Thanks to S, I just found this blog again!
Ahaha, wow. Long time no see to this blog. I had totally forgotten about it! It's so amusing to look back and read about all the things we were doing in middle school, and all the things we were obsessed with and the way that we typed/talked (actually that was mostly me, not the others). But wow, this blog is amazing. We can NEVER delete any of the old posts. It'll be fun to come back and look at them like I'm doing right now.
I feel like so much has changed since this blog was active but really, not actually that much. We are just more mature now (thank goodness for that) and in high school and Stella is at a different school than the rest of us.
Guys... I don't know how practical this would be or even if the rest of us will catch on, but I actually think it would be so cool to start posting on this blog again! Then we could see how things have changed and it would be a way to keep in better touch with Stella. Just a thought though. But I'm gonna try to talk individually to everyone about it. It could be fun!!
Thanks again Stella for reminding me about this blog, because I had totally forgotten about it and probably would have never remembered it if it wasn't for you!
