This is my last blog post ever. I am so excited to move on with my life and never have to return to Blogger again. Unless of course Tara continues to update her blog, in which case I will read hers. I have absolutely no desire to post any more blogs. I have a Facebook. Nobody uses Blogger for practical uses.
Apparently I'm going to miss school and cry at commencement. Will I miss school? At times. Will I cry? Definitely not. Yeah, I'm going to cry at the thought of getting away from everyone I hate and teachers that I can't stand to listen to for another day.
I'm going to cry at the thought of never having to pay another tobacco fine and having my car searched by a man with a comb-over.
I'm going to cry at the thought of never having to play tennis in gym again.
I'm going to cry at the thought of never having to be at school at 8 am sharp
I'm going to cry at the thought of never having to get my pass signed to leave the room
I'm going to cry at the thought of being punished for ridiculous things and circumstances
I'm going to cry at the thought of never being able to sit in Journalism and listen to everyone talk about their lives THAT I DO NOT CARE ABOUT.
DONE DONE DONE.

Letter to grammar
Here are some fun tips for revising & editing your work
mark writing that sounds awkward or could be improvised
be sure all paragraphs are indented and focus on a single subject
be sure you did not switch tenses as you wrote
check your punctuation
be sure there are quotation marks around spoken words
check the spelling of unknown words
be sure you capitalized correctly
check the beginning to be sure it hooks readers
make any dull parts more exciting
be sure your writing does not include dull or overused words
check that your vocabulary is appropriate for your audience
be sure you include enough facts or details to support statements
be sure all facts are presented in a logical order
be sure that your closing paragraph sums up effectively
Why did I spend two minutes (give or take) of my life typing this list? Because I care deeply about today's youth being taught proper grammar. Even if I don't practice it myself, it's still the most important thing anyone will ever learn in school, besides Hamlet.
Don't learn Trig.

Letter to insects
There are few things I hate (surprisingly) more than insects. I do hate a lot of things and a lot of people, according to Dr. Tara. This is probably true. Anything that frustrates me I give up on. Failure turns to hate.
Insects annoy me. I want to kill all of them. It would screw up our ecosystem and whatnot...but I don't care. I only care about not being stung by anymore bees or bitten by anymore mosquitos.
Are bees insects? I don't know. I barely made it through Bio.
My goal: Pass Trig so I can graduate. At this point it looks doubtful. ew
My second goal: Don't get stung by any bees this summer. Also doubtful.
Letter to everyone around me
I would really appreciate some silence. I would love to have an hour of silence in school. I especially wish it would happen right now. I am okay with sitting here posting blogs and pretending I'm not a part of this class. I hate to listen to people talk for ever and ever and ever...it just drags on. No, how about some quiet time? It's sad, the only time I will have the opportunity to enjoy silence ALL DAY today will be during English, when I begin my three day Hamlet test. If I can sit there and write essays the whole period in silence, that's better than listening to a teacher drone on and on for fifty minutes. I wish I could just come to school for seventh period and then leave.
WHAT IS A CLASS HISTORIAN? Yeah, let's appoint somebody...with how many days of school left? Too bad our class sucks and hasn't accomplished anything significant. I don't want to keep in touch with anyone in our senior class except my friends.

Letter to family reunions
I haven't spoken to any members of my family, apart from two uncles and my parents for...months? years? I don't know. Both sides of my family are terrible people. They're alcoholics, compulsive liars, and people who claim to be the most religious members of society that actually do everything opposite of good, christian views. There is no amount of money in the world that could convince me to go to one of my family reunions. Well, actually, I probably would for tons of money, but you get the general idea. I am not a family person. My friends are the closest thing to family.
I googled "family reunion" and this picture came up. It's always nice to have visuals, no matter how irrelevant.

Letter to Evans Blue
I decided that my current favorite band (aside from my all time favorites, System of a Down and U2) is Evans Blue. Sometimes I feel like I should switch things up and write a positive blog.
Lately I have been listening to every genre EXCEPT country. I seriously cannot stand country music. I don't CARE about how many tractors, trucks, and how much american pride you have. Nor do I care about mudding, horses, or being a hick. Oops, negativity. My bad.
Since Tara and I have, for the most part, opposite tastes in music, I'll make a list of my recently downloaded songs and watch her post a blog with hers. She does as I say, when I say.
From my Itunes library, my recently added list: (songs I highly recommend to the general public):
1. Letter From A Thief -Chevelle
2. The Fad -Chevelle
3. A Little Bit Cooler -The Cool Kids
4. My Sacrifice -Creed
5. Higher -Creed
6. Diamond Eyes -Deftones
7. All I Do is Win -DJ Khaled
8. Bulletproof -Evans Blue
9. Sick of it -Evans Blue
10. I Go Blind -Hootie and the Blowfish
11. Closer -Lacuna Coil
12. I Won't Tell You -Lacuna Coil
13. Enjoy the Silence Cover -Lacuna Coil
14. Lemonade -Gucci Mane
15. In My Room -ICP
16. LaLaLa -Jay-Z
17. Scream With Me -Mudvayne
18. Darker Side of Me -The Veer Union
19. In A Gadda Da Vida Cover -Slayer
20. Send the Pain Below -Chevelle
Fun fact: I am constantly downloading music, and I enjoy every cover I have ever heard of Enjoy the Silence...from It Dies Today to Lacuna Coil...I even like the original. Good song.
The end

Letter to graduation
I think you should be postponed...a little. I still have so many things to do. And I am definitely not picturing myself at college anytime soon.
Of course, graduation = no school = no Trig = no failure = freedom = success
I could always drop out. That would be pretty easy. Then, someday I would regret it.
I'm torn. Go to college, or continue my current lifestyle? Obviously the first would be more beneficial in the long run. But I'm not ready to go to college, I would just screw it up. I'm not mature enough for college.
I need a year or five to think about this
