Thank you...!

Yesterday I spent hours in the park drinking, eating and talking with all my classmates. This morning I came to realize how lucky I am. I got the most awesome friends and classmates that I could never have dreamt of, so I dedicate this blog post to all of them.

I’ve never been good at making new friends so I was very nervous about how I’d do when I started high school last summer. I got placed in the class where almost all the students had a social studies and English at high level. I didn’t so it was clear to me that I was in, what we Danes would like to call, “papegøjeklasse” which means, directly translated, a parrot-class where students with different high level subjects are mixed together. I spent a few months in this class and I started to like them. Then time came and I ended up in my real class, where all the students had English and Spanish at high level like me. I was heartbroken but after a couple of days I realized that I was one lucky girl. My class was amazing. Everyone was so kind, talkative, open-minded and understanding. I now got more friends than ever, who I can truly trust and share my thoughts with, but I also got classmates who don’t think I’m a freak or some kind of smart-ass.

So what I’m really trying to say is: thank you! Thank you guys, all of you, not only whose who I can call my classmates but also those of you I spent my breaks with in school and those of you I only spent a hour or two with when I got German or Art Class. You’re all truly freaking awesome and I’m grateful for what you all have done to me.

It might sound like I’m exaggerating but right now I might still be a little bit high after I’ve been sitting beside people who smoked hookah yesterday. I think the smoke has made me sillier than I normally am. Anyway, two words: thank you!

Animals that are stupid...

After I'd told my friend that I wanted a pet shark, he asked if there wasn't any animals that I didn't like, and as I told him about why hamsters are stupid I realised that a lot of animals are stupid, in fact I made a list:

• Hamsters are stupid because they run around in stupid hamster wheels.
• Ostriches are stupid because have tiny heads and big bodies, and they can't fly even though they're birds, that's only okay with penguins.
• Ponies are stupid because they're like angry miniature horses. This almost the same reasons as to why zebras are stupid, because they're like angry striped horses.
• Dolphins are stupid because they act all nice and cute UNTIL THEY BITE YOUR ARMS OFF!
• Butterflies are stupid because they think they're so much better than all the other the other insect, but they're really not, they are just as disgusting.
• All mammals without hair are stupid because well, look at them, they're stupid.
• Most small dogs are stupid because they are just like ponies, angry miniature dogs.
• Lions are stupid because they're boring, unlike tigers, tigers are awesome!
• Pigeons are stupid because they're just like the rats of the air, but people stand around feeding them bread anyway. You shouldn't feed pigeons, they should all die.
• Bunnies are stupid because they are scared of everything.
• Pheasants are stupid because they're everywhere and they're noisy and they wake me up early Saturday morning.
• Sea cucumber, I am not even going to explain this one. Here's a picture:
• 

Other animals are stupid too, but my list is too long for me to write it all in a blog. Don't get me wrong, I do think awesome animals exist too, I made a second list for them. Maybe I'll write about it sometime.

… Which makes me a child

Yesterday I got this weird look from a friend of mine when I told her I still had all my Pokémon cards. It was an odd look and I asked: “You don’t like Pokémon?” Her answer was: “I did.” The tone of her voice was clear: she thought I was a bit childish. To be honest I kind of feel sorry for her. Since when is it childish to love Pokémon? To love your childhood? I was just about saying that I still kept the cards under my bed and that I still had lots of Pokémon figures somewhere in my room. But my math teacher cut us off since the class had started for 10 minutes ago. Afterwards I thought of all the things and stuff I still have which I probably “shouldn’t” have since I’m a teenager but I still got them because I don’t want to let go. I still got that teddy bear who I love more than anything. Whenever the world is being too much I still feel better after hugging him. Then of course I complain to Sidsel and she’ll call me bad names and say I grumble too much and afterwards she’d tell me she loves me. Personally I don’t find that childish. Besides the fact that I still got my lovely teddy bear by my side I also happen to have several Disney movies in my movie collection. In my opinion I don’t have enough. I turn 17 in less than a month and on my birthday wish list I’ve written: “Classic Disney movies on DVD”. My mom gave me the same odd look as my friend did but she only shrugged her shoulders and kept reading. She has told me who knows how many times that I’m too old for wishing Disney movies. My reply is: “You never get too old to watch Disney.” And now I’ll add a bit more: you never get too old for anything. Who on Earth has told you that you have to grow up before you ever get the chance to enjoy the childhood’s happiness? I’ve had the same math teacher for 7 years and he always said to me: “I’m not young anymore and I still haven’t grown up. And I never want to either.” All I can say is: me either…! Because, why should I…?

Stuff I don't want to do - Sid's life

Anywho, I have to write a blog this week, and I really didn't want to, not because I don't like writing, I looooove writing, but because I simply didn't know what to write, and because I unlike Sille like to come up with my own ideas *cough cough* ^-^

So I thought I'd write about all the stuff PI don't want to do, and that is a lot of stuff, actually I'd love to just sit at home in my room watching Doctor Who and eating chocolate. But sadly I can't spend all day doing what I want to do, I have to do stuff like go to school.

I would like it very much if I could stop having German-lessons, it would be nice to get up in the morning and think: "Do I have German-lesson today? Oh wait, I don't have any German-lessons EVER!"

I'd like to live in a world where Nickelback was NEVER played on the radio, I turn on my radio to get some news and what happens? Nickelback is blasted out into my ears.

I don't like going home on the bus everyday, it is very time-consuming, and there are so many annoying people on the bus, the other day I spend 20 minutes listening to two girls argue over Glee, I just sat there and turned the music in my headphones further and further up.

I don't want to talk to people I don't like, I wish I could have a tiny sign on a stick saying "Go away, I do not want to talk to you... Go find someone else to talk about Glee with..." but apparently that is immature and I am not allowed to do so...

I don't want to ever have to watch reality television, why can't they send something good on a Friday evening, all that x-factor stuff is just not me... (Now that they've decided to finally send Doctor Who on Danish television, they've decided to start with season 5... This pisses me off, you can't just skip 9 and 10... Oh oops I need to get back on topic!)

I don't want to spend time with awkward-family-parties, I am the socially awkward nerdy cousin nobody really wants to talk to, and when an aunt decides to feel sorry enough for me to talk to me, it's always like: "Sooo you go to school or something don't you..?" "yeah I do..." "Soooo are you going to be as smart as your siblings and study physics..?" "No... I want to be a pirate, or a ninja or a super evil villain or maybe a unicorn ." "Oooooh-kaaay, I think I'll go over there now..." Yeeeeeah, my friend Markus expressed is beautifully by saying: "You're the black sheep in a family of physicists"

This is another thing I don't want to do, I don't want to be expected to get good grades, to love school, to become a teacher like everyone else in my family...

I also don't want to write more stuff I don't want to do...
