Bored? Me too. (Again)

Well, I now know what happens when you press enter while the cursor is in the title box: it adds the post to the blog. Well, blogger, that is not what I wanted. Humph. Stupid Blogger.
I am very bored. So bored, in fact, that I have been sitting in front of my computer for the last two hours doing NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. So I have decided to blog. Again. Only because this is a slightly better use of my time that facebook. Ahh, yes, a topic. My thoughts on facebook: At first, when I got it around a year ago, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had FarmVille, and FishVille, and five other stupid simulation games. Yeah, it's ridiculous. I wasted hours everyday on facebook. Then I decided I needed to stop. I no longer play any of the stupid games (good move, Isabel). I no longer spend hours a day on facebook (another good move, Isabel). I probably go on twice a week, when I am exceptionally bored. It would probably be the best move to disable my account, but I can't bring myself to do that. I will just wait until I need it. It is pointless, in my opinion (though I wouldn't have thought this three months ago), to have facebook in Seventh grade. Eight grade is acceptable, when you are changing schools, and you want an easy way to stay in contact with your friends. High School, I believe, is the most appropriate time to have facebook. I don't care what your friends say: having facebook doesn't make you cool. Period.
Moving on to another painful waste of time on the computer. Sims. Sims 2, to be specific. This may be the most pointless waste of time on the computer. Basically, you sit there and control little people. It is for losers who have no friends, so they make friends for their Sims. I will admit it, this summer I probably spent at least two hours a day playing Sims this summer. It is even more pathetic than it would normally have been because it was, indeed, in the summer. THE SUMMER! I have a pool! I could have been swimming in my nicely heated pool, but no. What did I choose to do? Sit in my room, and stare at the computer screen. Thinking back on it, I can't believe I did that. BAHH, I'm so stupid. Even when I had friends over, I would play Sims. I know, I know, I'm pathetic. I'm aware. Don't judge me. I have changed my ways. I think that if I were still doing that, my parents would probably send me to Computer Addicts Anonymous. But now, I have renounced my ways.
Having said all this, I do not think blogging is a waste of time. It's the same as journaling, except that there are more people to read it (not that I think many people read my blog). My mother suggested that I don this, and I assume that she would never suggest that I get facebook or Sims. I am actually quite proud of myself for keeping up with my blog. I had thought that I would do a few posts, and give up. Oh no, not this girl. Wow, I sound stupid saying that. I also believe that my blog is a good use of time because it is improving my writing skills. I have always considered myself a fairly good writer, but as he old saying goes "Practice makes perfect". I'm sure my English teacher would be very proud of me. Maybe I'll tell her someday. Probably not.
On another note, I took an SSAT on Saturday morning (Secondary School Admission Test). It is the test you have to take if you want to go to a private High School. Let's just say it was not enjoyable. I spent three hours sitting in a chair taking my stupid test. My mother also made me do a SSAT prep course. I spent two hours every Friday taking practice tests. I must admit, it was helpful. The questions on the math section were very similar. All in all, I suppose it was less painful than it could have been.
Today, I spent about an hour redesigning my blog. I think it looks quite nice. I was always wondering how people had custom backgrounds. Today, I discovered cutest blog on the block., and they have a bunch of really cool backgrounds. I am quite happy with myself.
Tomorrow is President's Day. For those people who don't live in Massachusetts, it is a day we celebrate some of the presidents. What it means for me is no school! No school is always exciting. Also, tomorrow I am going to a laser tag place with a bunch of kids from my class. I am terrible at laser tag. Once I went for my friends birthday party (ELLE!), and some kids there were talking to her brother. They were asking him if he went to a laser tag camp, because they did. They were, in a word, losers. That's all I can say.
I am quite impressed by the length of the blog I just wrote. GO ISABEL! This was the longest blog I have ever written. I am quite proud of myself. I hope anyone who has reached this pint is not thoroughly bored.
