I have no idea where my grandmother got this idea from, but last week she constantly told my aunt how my parents raised my sister and I to be smart. Supposedly, our dad had us start reading and doing math problems at the tender of age of 2.
I personally have no recollection of that. The earliest memory I have is when my sister put a chinese pastry in the microwave and set it for 45 minutes instead of 4 minutes. From that incident, I learned that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In that case, my sister got a good spanking for approximately 45 minutes.
I just read this comment in someone\’s blog:
sounds a bit geeky to me. I dont understand what a blog is ? Someone with enough spare time to create a site like this must be single and needs to get out more.
It\’s people like that who infuriate me on a daily basis. I don\’t dismiss people who spend hours on trivial matters such as creating balls of twine. I probably would admire them (unless of course they\’re social dimwits to begin with).
[RANT]why do certain people think it\’s \”crazy\” that i spend so much time reading blogs/journals?[/RANT]
People who write comments like that obviously don\’t do anything productive with their free time except you know…stare at a blank wall and drown themselves in poison…just for fun.
inferiority complexes. people feel that they need to put others down for things that they themselves are not confortable or familiar with. it\’s been the same old story ever since elementary school.
i take it in stride now, simply doing whatever i want with all criticism noted. :D
true that. but even then, a few of my friends ask me why I spend so much time on my blog when i could be doing \”better\” things. Nowadays, I relate most easily with people who blog…people who are willing to talk about themselves so openly.
Heh, Most$B!!(Bof the people here think \”better\” things are going to bars and picking up Japanese chicks, but at least they don\’t bager me about not going out. Actually some of them are pretty cool about it. It was surprising.
