I Don’t Like Reading…?

 I've always been someone who doesn't particularly like to read.

Although I wish I did, reading just isn't the most enjoyable thing in my opinion.

I've always been this way. Reading just isn't my thing. I do because I have to, and I do because I know I should, but it never been the easiest task.

I wish I liked reading more than I do and I wish I read more, but it isn't as easily done as said.

When I read I look forward to finishing the book, I look forward to the next chapter and I pay attention to the page numbers.

Someone who loves reading gets disappointed when they're done their book and wishes they hadn't read it as quickly.

I read incredibly slowly because I just get distracted. The book never seems to be interesting enough and I absolutely hate that.

It has nothing to do with the fact that I can't read, just the fact that it's incredibly time consuming and in my opinion, just boring.

I haven't read the classics, I wish I had, and I'm trying my best, but there's so much to catch up on!

I told myself I should read the Hobbit and the Harry Potter books, because I want to but I don't somehow. And I've finished the Hobbit, although it took me a month.

You might be wondering what's wrong with me! A month and I can't finish a tiny book. Well, I just never find the time to read, not that I don't have time, just that I procrastinate too much and end up ready only 50 pages per week.

At the rate I'm going, if I want to read all 8 of the Harry Potter books, it'll take me years! I know that's awful! I do want to read them... Kinda.

What can I do? Does anyone else feel this way about reading? If you do, let me know what you do to motivate yourself to read more!

I assume that if you dislike reading, you're not reading this soooo... I guess no one here relates!

The irony…

My Cry Laugh

You meet someone new. You get to know them. You'll make them laugh...

Well, that's exactly it.

The first time you make your new friend truly laugh matters. And their laugh might be typical or insanely ridiculous.

Sometimes they're laugh makes you laugh more, which I guess is always quite fun.

And loads of people can laugh so hard that they start to tear up... But you don't understand.

When you meet me, it doesn't take much to make me cry laugh, unlike most. Because my regular laugh is my cry laugh. Yep!

When you truly make me laugh, I won't be tearing up, I will be full on balling  my eyes and basically hyperventilating so much that I'm completely silent and gasping for air. And that, of course make everyone laugh more, which make me laugh more, which continues repetitively.

Remember, I don't tear up, I cry!

So that little iOS emoji, you know this one:

... That's literally ME!

I really do hope I'm not alone on this one.

So PLEASE comment if you LITERALLY cry laugh.

We'll have a giant... Most likely small, cry laughing party!

We'll call it lrying, you know, laughing+crying... Lrying

Ok, that's enough.

On another note, I'm really sorry I haven't blogged in a while, I went on holiday and completely forgot, and was partially feeling very "uncreative" and lazy.  

My Allergies!

So now that spring has officially awaken and summer is just around the corner, my allergies have started again.

I have a variety of allergies (to mostly none deadly things). For example... General pollen allergies (trees, flowers, grass, basically anything outdoors),

Animals (Cats, Dogs... Not sure if I'm allergic to anymore), Dust (so basically all indoor areas... Do you see the irony?) and finally Penicillin (a medicine)! I'm not sure why I have so many allergies.

This means that I'm constantly coughing, sneezing and basically ripping my eyes out. Sometimes people ask what I'm allergic to, and when I'm lazy, I just say I'm allergic to life! I mean indoors, outdoors... Where do I go?

A few years back, I got to school with absolutely red eyes because I had been scratching them so much. Even though we had an exam that morning, my teacher looked at me and just sent me home right away... No hesitations. (Did I maybe find an advantage to this?)

But really, it's awful. My allergies sometimes even effect not only spring and summer, but also fall. And well during winter in Canada, I obviously get ill a few times or something like that. I'm basically sick all year.

And if you're wondering, yes, I take a pill every morning to help with the allergies, but it doesn't work miracles. The only other option would be to get a vaccine EVERY week! That's not going to happen! I'm not afraid of needles... But there is no way I'm doing that!

Do you have allergies? If you do, please let me know in the comments!

I've Had a Cough For 3 Weeks

So, I've had a cough for roughly 3 weeks now...

The first week of this nightmare, I had a horrid cough! I sounded like a dying goose.

Then after a week I still had a sore throat, but I could tell it was getting a bit better.

And I bet you can imagine how annoyed I was after realizing that two weeks had gone by and my throat was still in pain.

I think it's now been over 3 weeks and it's still no better. I mean of course, it's better than my original first week, but it's just as bad as when I was healing.

I went from sounding like a dying goose the first week, to just sounding a bit like a sheep while I was healing, and oh no... Now I sound like a goat, my cough came back.

I had a dance recital at school (it was awful), and right when the curtain opened I my throat started to tickle... During the ENTIRE dance, I had to cough. And I'm not sure if any of you have ever tried to hold in a cough and dance at the same time. As soon as the light turned off I ran as fast as I could off stage so I could cough, although the crowd probably still heard me. Oops...

Another group was dancing and I was just sitting off stage, desperately trying to stop coughing, when all of a sudden I coughed and the music stopped. You know how some songs have moments where they're kind of paused and nothing is playing, not for long, just usually a couple seconds. Well, I managed to cough right then. I felt really bad.

I absolutely hate being sick, especially when school is just 4 days from being over!

When will this end? Do I have a vocal problem of some kind? I REALLY hope not!

*cough*

Ya... Ok bye!

I'm Left Handed...

I'm pretty sure only 15% of the population is left handed... And most are guys.

Of course I'm left handed... Because it's the most inconvenient thing for life in general. Everything was originally created to fit right handed people. So I guess, life is harder to adapt to.

Now every left handed person will relate to this because we are a family! We all have to deal with this. And to be honest, I do think it's extremely annoying and hard to work with, especially at school, but really isn't as bad as people portray it to be.

I mean YES your hand will basically be covered in ink or pencil at the end of the day, but I've somehow managed to avoid the horror. Not sure how though, it just doesn't happen as much anymore. But I mean spiral notepads and binders are just hell... No lefty can avoid that!

On another note, I draw... A lot, and in art class, we were supposed to make a drawing full of symbols that basically represent you! Which of course was a lot of fun to create, but then she announced we had to do it in pastel. Literally the enemy of any left OR right handed! You can imagine my hand was completely full of this ridiculously greasy medium.

 

For the rest of the day my hand felt sticky and disgusting!

And although a lot of things about being left handed sucks, I think it's different and unique, therefore kinda cool.

Are you left handed? Are you part of the fam? Let me know in the comments!

Hurting Myself by Mistake

Now this may sound strange, but I feel like I'm always hurting myself by mistake...

Not major things, just enough for me to think it hurts.

For example, when I stub my toe or bump into a desk. I don't know if I'm only one who constantly bumps into desks at school...?

I swear, I'm so unlucky when it comes to certain things!

My visual art class has metal tables... Yes. And about half a metre from the floor, there is a metal bar... that is, in my opinion, quite sharp. We all sit on stools, so our calves are at the height of these bars. And I don't know what it is, but I always seem to hit my leg on it. And it hurts.

It does this sort of rattle sound when you hit it and it's so loud! And because it's visual art and, of course, it is extremely silent, everyone looks at you!

But because it isn't enough, I always have to move in some other way and hit my leg AGAIN! Never just once, always twice! Just a couple seconds apart.

And to be honest, I've realized that whenever I'm in class, surrounded by a group of people I know... Or strangers, I try to make it as unnoticeable as possible. But whenever I'm alone, stubbing my toe isn't just "stub my toe and walk away", it's stub my toe and make the biggest deal out of it!

Because, of course, when you're alone, you have to make everything as exaggerated as possible.

Do you hurt yourself by mistake? Please let me know!

My Obsession

So although I have my own problems to worry about and things I should probably pay more attention too, like school… I can get pretty obsessed over little things or people.

And when I say people, I don’t mean celebrities (as in actors or musicians) I mean mostly youtubers.

When I really like something, I tend to get a little too obsessed…

In just one week, I ended up watching over 24 hours of just ONE youtuber’s content.

Now you may be wondering if a youtuber even has 24 hours worth of videos… and in most cases, YES!

I watched this entire youtubers main channel videos, second channel videos, gaming channel videos, collaborations and A LOT of live shows that are usually over 1 hour long.

When I found out that this youtuber did live shows, I immediately downloaded the app and created an account.

My life revolves around these idols. They’re my inspiration! They make me happy.

I love how unlike actors, they are real people and not people playing characters. I also love that they are very relatable and easier to actually meet or get to know.

I think it’s insane to look at how far they’ve come since the day they started as just regular beings that probably weren’t expecting any fame to come out of it. Some have made such a big impact.

I really hope that YouTube will still be a “thing” for many years and that someday I can inspire someone as much as they have inspired me.

Admit it… you’re just as crazy as me… right?
