My Complaints
So, I am Magda.
I like dancing ballet, making collages, and playing my guitar.
I would like to say that ballet is NOT super girlish and other stuff that people think about it; it actually requires a lot of strength and is hard. But it is beautiful at the same time. That is why it is a kind of art. Art requires skill and is often pleasing to the eye.
I am homeschooled. One of the questions I hate is "what is homeschooling like?" What is regular school like? Do you want to answer that question honestly and describe school in detail, or do you want to answer with some vague adjective like "it's good, or fun, or okay." I would prefer to do neither.
Another thing I dislike is when my friends don't write back after I send them letters. Is everyone illiterate? Even worse is when they respond with an email or phone call (though that hasn't happened in a while)!
I hope that my complaints are heard (or rather, read).
P.S. You can comment w/your own complaints, if you'd like.

I totally agree with you, L!
I must say, I extremely dislike Warriors.

Well, if JKR isn't going to write more Harry Potter, she should at least write another young adult series instead of wasting her time on stuff like Casual Vacancy, which I can't read because it's for adults.
I tried to write HP FanFic once or twice, but I am usually TERRIBLE writing about someone elses worlds, and, even by my lights, it was horrible writing. The FanFic I wrote was about James and Al confronting Scorp, who turns out to be a Parseltongue and is recruiting snakes to take over HogWarts and has his HQ in the Chamber of Secrets. I hit a dead end after Albus got tossed out of the Astronomy Tower and abandoned the story on the HP FanFic site I was publishing it to.
All JKR ever wrote was this: [link to Mugglenet removed --Admin] + Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them + Quidditch Through the Ages + A Harry Potter encyclopedia.
Well, at least we have Rick Riordan to count on.

My complaint is that when someone first meets you, that one impression they pick up from you is the one way they think you should act. Like, if I try to act any other way after the first time I've met them, they act as though I'm not acting the way 'I'm supposed to'. Whaaaaatt??? We're only allowed to act one way?? I act all sorts of ways depending on the people I'm around. When I'm with my best friend, I actually act myself, because she just accepts however crazy I decide to be that day. My family especially gives me weird looks when I just decide to one day be different. *sigh* One personality is too confining. Perhaps that is why I like acting. I don't have to be judged because of how I'm acting as a different person I actually may be more comfortable hiding behind. If that makes sense. I'm not saying I don't take any discipline, because I do, I just don't like how everyone seems to feel the need to judge people on how they act the second, third, fourth time they meet them.
But I guess another one of my complaints is myself. Like, why should I be so caught up in why people think of me a certain way? I wish I could go back 9 years when I actually didn't care what people thought of me.
But anyway, long time no see (read, I guess)! I was on here a few years ago.. So, hi!

Oh, hey, Hannah. I think I remember you.
A complaint: when people keep commenting on my intelligence. I'm not trying to brag here. I mean, I'm a little smarter than normal, but I'm not a genius. I just get really good grades in school. A lot of people tend to point this out. I like it when they compliment me, since they're being nice, but sometimes, they just tell it to me like I don't know it. I get it! Can we please get over this fact? I'm not that smart.

@ Theo; I rather agree with you! But people think I should wear makeup! Why should I? It certainly doesn't better the world, society, or me for that matter? It's every person's choice on it! SO WHY SHOULD I? Simply because the rest of society does it? That's no reason! For pitty's sake! There, my; makeup in the modern society rant, is over.
@ Hannah; First, welcome back! Second, again, I agree with you! And it goes beyond that. People will often look you over for two seconds, and decide if they think your worth talking to! If so, they consider you a fair-weather friend. But like you said, if act any different than you initial meeting, they think your scitsofrinik (excuse the misspelling). It's utterly ridiculous! First impression are often important, but they don't decide how you are overall. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Another complaint:
WHY ARE BLONDES LABLED UNITELIGENT AND WEAK?!?!?! It's utterly utterly utterly UNTRUE!!!!
Quote Mark of Athena:
“He had no idea where the stereotype of dumb giggly blondes came from.
Ever since he'd met Annabeth at the Grand Canyon last winter, when she'd
marched toward him with that Give me Percy Jackson or I’ll kill you
expression, Leo had thought of blondes as much too smart and much too
dangerous.” Leo Valdez
To me, this sums blondes up pretty well. We're strong, smart, can be very serious, and VERY dangerous!!!!
Cappie says waaa. I agree with you cappie!

@Blonde Heroines Rule: Awesome name by the way ;) I used to be really blonde, but it's darkened up qute a bit. I dont' know where that came from. But it is sooo stupid. It's like saying that all Indians are super good at math (no offense to any Indians out there who are super good at math!!) Someone started it some time ago, and now the society would like everyone to believe and accept that it's true. But what really annoys me is when a girl says something only slightly weird and go all into 'Oh my gosh! I am sooo weird!!! I guess because I'm blonde. I am such a blondey! Look at meeeee!!!' mode especially when there are boys around. It's like, shut up. So annoying. Or again when they say something slightly weird and say 'I am sooo sorry. I'm just so weird, aren't I?' proudly in public. It's like, no, you aren't. Saying that you like ketchup on your grilled cheese doesn't make you automatically 'weird'. We all have our quirks. I say and do odd stuff, but I don't openly say I'm weird all the time for attention in the hopes of convincing everyone that 'weird' is the new 'cool'. Maybe I am weird, I just like experimentation and inquisitiveness. For crying out loud, I sometimes where my blue wig in public, and I still don't say I'm weird, or a hipster, or an Indie!!!
Another complaint. The Oscars. The Oscars is made out to be public opiniion. But it's not. At least, the past couple years I've watched it, I can't see how it is. The Oscars is just what society would like poeple to believe is public opinion. And it's so inappropriate. Hey, Oscars, go watch The Orange Awards. Good. Now come back and clean up your act!
Sorry this was pretty ranty.

On weirdness: Being blond-haired does not make you stupid. And there are plenty of stupid people who are not blond. But seriously, if you're going to be weird, be weird. Don't try to wear mismatched socks and call that weird, it's not.
'Weird' is not derogatory. 'Weird' is a viewpoint. Weirdness can vary, and although many people claim that they are somehow weirder than other people, that most likely not true. I take the word 'weird' to mean 'going against the popular flow of things'. I am a weird person by my standards, then: I think differently than a lot of people I know, and I have viewpoints that a lot of people don't share.
Also, on the boys around dealio: It is the most ridiculous thing the feminine population has thought of TO DATE. And I'm counting high heels, duckface, and Lady Gaga's costumes in this. Why should males be attracted to stupid people? That's complete cherrypits. Looking dumb so people will like you just makes people ridicule you or, if you happen to have an overly kind person, dumb things down for you (but nicely of course) so you can understand. I can't stand it. We're smarter than this. If we're going to kick all the stereotypes of women out the door on their figurative butts, you have to stop confirming them.

@Blonde Heroines Rule:Haha! I love that quote!!!!!! I entered it onto Goodreads right after The Mark of Athena came out.
(March 1, 2013 - 12:28 pm)
Agreed on the blond jokes. I told my friends that the next person who made a blond joke would get the life slapped out of their face, courtesy of me. Of course, I would never do that, but the last person I heard make a blond joke was this one girl who practicly lives off the sterotype that blonds are dumb.
And I love the quote. Whenever some one makes a blond joke, I always think of that joke.
But the Candleman isn't blond!
Oh whatever. I don't care if I have the same hair color as my namesake.
That is, my namesake my name being Theo W.

Thank you all for your dear pro-blonde support. I really need to get some guys I know on here to read this. They delight asking people if they're really a blond, by way of teasing them. They do this right in front of me, infuriating me to no end, knowing how I feel. I'm pleased to say last time they did this, I threw my glove at them. It is all done kiddingly, but still. Though, I have to wonder if they do just to irk me. Probably.
@ Hannah; Thank you! I picked out the name when I started reading the Percy Jackson series. LOL ANNABETH!!!
About the weird thing, I TOTALLY AGREE!!! People, again, delight in telling me I'm utterly weird, because I do out-of-the-ordinary random stuff. SO WHAT?!?! I often find I say things that utterly horrify people, which, really, I don't find horrifying, and I tell my mom it, and neither does she! So what gives? Just because I may say the zombie apacolypse is coming, or I don't like Justin Beiber, (local society disagrees with me strongly on that one), doesn't make me weird. It makes me me. SO LIVE WITH IT!!! Though, that's the way I tell when a friend is true or not. They accept me with my quirks, random sayings, and beliefs. So thank you also, fellow CBs, for accepting my "weirdocity"!
GO BLONDES!!!!!

Annabeth rules! She is my fave female hero in books! It is really too bad she and Perce fell into *SPOILER ALERT*. (You know where if you read Mark of Athena.) They totally rock.
(March 5, 2013 - 8:59 pm)
I agree that the Zombie Apocalypse is coming, and I also don't like Justin Bieber.
(May 3, 2013 - 8:09 pm)
Hey Blonde Heroines Rule, I totally agree with you on that!
I do NOT want to sound all, like, "oh, you spelled that thing wrong," although I do want to let you know that I'm pretty sure that schizophrenic is spelled the way I just spelled it, just so you know. (It is hard to spell.) Also I would like to let you know that it's is a contraction of it is. A good sentence to remember is "the bee had its honey, and it's a good thing too."
(March 5, 2013 - 8:54 pm)
@Hannah: Hi Hannah, I'm Hannah! Well, I go by Ivy on here, but my name is Hannah, and I'm blonde too!
@Blonde Heroines Rule: Yeah! GO BLONDES!!!!!! I love Annabeth, too. I was so mad when they ruined the movie, especially Annabeth. How many time did they tell us the she has curly blonde hair, noy straight brown hair!!!
