Pinterest... Ugh...

I do a lot of "pinteresting things all day. I've got boreds marked:
Ideas
Things to make into posters
Wish list
Exechetera...
Did you just miss pronounce "et cetera"?

I even have a bored of dolls so that once I have the time I can take up a hobbie of photographing dolls. But finally! I've got money again! So I can actually do some of the shit that I've been pinning all the time. So I bought some blank T-shirts and I'm going to design my own logo's on them. I'll come up with pictures or sayings and quotes that I want on them. It'll be great!

Why? Because I am a hipster! I wanna have shirts that no one else has. And if that means designing my own shirts then that's fine by me! I want sayings no one understands! Mad references few will get! 
Or if I see a shirt I like, I can design it myself. Instead of paying 30 to 60 dollars for a shirt, I can pay $5 plus the cost of the stuff I use to iron the disigns on! And that stuff is like $10 for 20 sheets so that's not bad.

I'd have to change it a bit to make it my own, but I'd have no problem with that. I've already done a few things! I've pinned them to my "done" bored on Pinterest.


So long, and have a pinteresting day!

Don't push your books on me!

It may sound weird, but I don't think they should force kids to read in school. At least they shouldn't tell them what they can and can't read.
When I was a youngin (just to make me sound older) the teacher would tell us to read a book. We all took our turns reading out loud, which everyone hated, and everntually we would finnish the book and everyone would talk about it or do a report about it. 

Boring!

Eventually, in high school, we got to pick our own books to do reports on. Well, from the selection that the teacher brought. So instead of broadening our minds by letting us fall in love with reading by picking our own books, we were forced to read one of the books from the teachers moldy old box (Don't think about it that way).

I fell in love with reading after high school. Mostly because I discovered books that I actually found interesting. And not books we had to read for school. That one about the time traveling cat, or the one about the fairies and those BASTERD Pixies. The grave! Lots of good books and plenty of authors to choose from. I wish I would have fell in love with reading a long time ago.
That's why, if my kids ever come home from school and says "teacher said we have to read this book for school." I'm going to give them a book from my own collection to take the teacher with a note attached saying "I'd like an 8 page essay about this book by the end of the month. Thank you!" 
But I'd homeschool my kids so I wouldn't have that problem. I'll try and make them fall in love with reading earlier than I did. But then they wouldn't have the same mind as me. Less imaginative maybe. Would that be such a good thing? In some aspect yes. I would actually hope that my kids end up nothing like me. Which is why adoption is so great. All the care with none of the genes!
