My dearest non-existent readers (unless of course the elusive reader exists, in which case please make yourself known), I've decided to branch out. In the blogging sphere of course; I'm not about to actually leave my house.
My first venture is a dating site specific to Phoenix, AZ. I know this may not appeal to many of you, but if it does, pop on over and give it a look. I've only just started, and right now it's in its fledgling state as I try to figure out how this whole deal is going to work. Maybe I can work in some freebies and prizes to up traffic. Free tickets to various theatre and museum showings? I'm still not sure, as you can tell: http://dating-ideas-phoenix.blogspot.com/
Another blog I plan to start up is one dealing with beauty products, from bath soap to mascara and everything in between (basically if it makes you look or feel good then it'll be up there at some point). This one will probably have a lot of giveaways and freebies, because I'm nice. I haven't started this one yet... but soon :)
This will require a time commitment on my part, so if I start to fall behind on posting, you'll understand since it will probably be due to school. But never fear, as I live by Mark Twain's words: "I never let schooling interfere with my education."
When the beauty blog is up and running, I'll let you know!

Graduation
It was recently graduation for class of 2012 at my high school, and my entire Facebook wall was crammed with all the seniors cyber-crying over what it represented. However I felt that the seniors (most of them) are being over emotional and forgetting just what really happens in real life.
"OMG, graduation! I'll miss everybody I've ever met ever! Suddenly everyone I went to school with is the most amazing individual and I will keep you all in my hearts for the rest of my life!"
I mean, no offense, but bitch, pls, you're going to forget about them by next week. Does nobody realize that later in life, after you have all graduated from college and gotten jobs, none of you (well, the ones whose peak years weren't high school. Uncle Rico, I'm looking at you) will even be speaking to the people you went to high school with? The only people with whom it would make sense to remain in contact with would be your very best friends from high school, the ones you grew up with and shared large amounts of time with. People who really changed your life. And I'm pretty sure that not everybody in the class of 2012 changed your life.
Now, granted, I cannot say I speak from experience. I still have one more year of high school to complete before I can put my jaded hypothesis to the test. But from the stories and complaints via my parents and relatives, most people don't keep on touch with anyone from high school.
Perhaps I'm being a bit disingenuous, since I'm sure that Miss Preppy Cheerleader/Dancer with 1000+ Facebook friends will totally remember all of them and what they did together by the time the 5 year reunion rolls around, but for the majority of high school seniors they will graduate, college, and then job without thinking about their classmates from high school too many times.
And for those seniors who graduate just to dwell on the people and things they did in high school, please, do us all a favor and look at your life, look at your choices. Because they clearly aren't working to your advantage.
