back to the Chirp at Cricket

OMG, I totally know what that's like. Like they'll look at this picture written in Chinese on their phone, and then turn it sideways or whatever. They're all like, whoa, and stuff. Then I ask to see, and they say, 'you wouldn't understand.' I mean, it's like they're discrimating homeschoolers. When I think about it, I don't really have that many real friends. Like I went to this thing for all the middle schoolers from our church, and when we were eating dinner, the only people that would talk to me were the boys! They're the only ones who don't treat me like an alien sometimes. I mean, sometimes it's just not fair. And the boys weren't even being that great. Like, they were like showing off and stuff. I think all the boys in my grade that go to Religious Education like me. Because last week at the first class, they ALL sat around me! One was missing, but I'm pretty sure he would've, too!

Exactly.  It's so weird.  They think that since we do "everything" in our houses, that apparently we know nothing of the "outside" world.  Well, it turns out WE DO.  I do.  A girl asked me, "How can you live without a cell phone?"  I didn't say this.... I was going to.... "I USE MY HOME PHONE."  Is it too hard to pick up a phone and call instead of texting?  

In a few cases, kids who text all the time, don't know how to talk to people.  They'll be shy, or stutter, or, you know, just... don't talk.  UGH, it's so.... UGH.  I am so glad I have people who understand!!!!!!!  Thank you for listening.  I love this thread.

Actually, I don't really use the phone at all. I prefer email, IM, and snailmail. I use the phone if my grandma's on it, or faraway relatives, or whatever. But that's once or twice a year.

There are some people that HAVE to text, and I know one of them. My sign language teacher, she's deaf, and can't hear on the phone very well. Texting is what she does! Other wise she can't hear. Once, she had to call my mom, but she had someone call her, then when my mom said something, the lady texted my sign language teacher what my mom said, and my sign language teacher texted back what she had to say, and the lady said that to my mom. It took 15 minutes to figure out that wednesday didn't work, but friday would!

Ok.

How I have to wait till next year to see the 7th HP movie part 1. And also how I have to wait till next year to see the second season of Merlin. And How my sisters always look at what I'm doing on the computer no matter how many times I tell them "PLEASE go away!" And how public bathrooms aren't clean enough, and always have an awkward odor to them. And also about the many times when I get a drink at a fast food restaraunt I find something weird inside my cup. And then math. How we couldn't get together with our friends today. And how the HP 5 and 6 movies didn't have enough Tonks in them, nor Remus. And how they made her hair shoulder length and purple instead of spiky and bubblegum pink. I'll think of more later.
