A Thousand Different Versions of Yourself

I love that song. And that band. I'll put the info for it at the bottom.

I've noticed something lately. It feels incredibly good to get good grades on papers about things I never plan to read. Or have no idea about (this is happens often). It's not that I'm dumb, it's just that I find no point in reading most books assigned to us in school, especially at the rate I read them for college. It just moves too fast (I pick a few books a semester and actually read them, usually they're on my list of things to read anyway). I guess this is just a little blurb, as it's something everyone realizes but no one actually says. Whatever. I don't condone my strategies, as I could bullshit my way out of any paper, and it's not exactly a widespread skill (yes, I will toot my own horn, thank you). I'm not bragging, I swear, I'm explaining why you shouldn't do what I do.

OTHER THINGS!

Facebook keeps recommending me the strangest things. The other day I was told that, because I am a fan of Barack Obama (whoa, political agenda, easy there!)*, I should be a fan of the following:

W) Starbucks

T) Michelle Obama (this one is just funny, but it makes sense)

F) Michael Jackson

I'm pretty sure Facebook is a stereotyping jerkwad. Just because someone is a Democrat does not mean they drink the awful sewage that is Starbucks. And no, thank you, I don't want to be a fan of Michael Jackson. I have no problem with the guy, but I'm not exactly into all of his music. Just some of it.

I want to say the Michael Jackson thing is racist, but it's probably not. I'm assuming that other liberals (whoa, political agenda, easy there!)* like Jackson, so Facebook assumed I would too? Well I have news for you Facebook; I don't take kindly to you grouping us like that! That's our job, to make groups about being in a group! If we wanted to be told what to like and what to be a fan of, we'd all be scenesters!

And finally, Michelle Obama. She's great and all, but why the hell does she have a freaking fan page? I wonder if there's one for Bo Obama (apparently there are a few, but none of them are widespread, which makes no sense, that dog is so cute!).

And seriously, that could be interesting for friends of Obama.

"So I noticed, on Facebook."

"Yeah?"

"You uh, you didn't become a fan of my wife?"

"Yeah, um, I've been meaning to tell you..."

This can only end badly. On another note I honestly can't see people disliking that woman. She's so sweet (no, I'm not becoming a fan of her, I'm not that hypocritical).

LIST! I love lists so much. I have no idea why. I just think lists have a way of always being funny. Unless they're lists of names. Those usually aren't funny, and can be depressing with the right title.

Fun Things to Do With a Long Piece of String

1) Twirl it around in the air a lot

2) Tie it to your belt loop, run around chasing it

3) Wrap it around your fingers in cool designs

4) Wish that string was more entertaining

5) Okay, now I'm depressed

6) Never mind

OKAY! That's enough. I'm hungry. Again.

The song in the title is Sleeping Lessons by The Shins. Talk about life changing music. Listen to it if you haven't. If you like it (hey, they're not for everyone), it'll probably change you inside at least a little bit.

I need to think of fun facts to put at the end of this...
