Because Reasons...

Hi people,  Today I am being forced to write about famous people that I would want to meet. Anyone who knows me well would laugh as soon as they read this. I don't really pay attention to any famous people. They aren't any better than anyone else. They are just like the rest of us. If they aren't anything special, then why would I want to know them? I suppose I could organize some kind of debate between people with opposing views. Then again, I often do this with people I already know.  Honestly, I'd take an afternoon of political discussion with my friends over meeting famous people any day. I wish that I had more to say, but my thoughts seem to have left for spring break already.  -Dianna

Hi people,  Today I will be writing about a story from a field trip that I once went on. I originally didn't know what to write about in this post, but then it hit me...literally. I walked into a table before I sat down to write this and was reminded of another instance of clumsiness.  We had gone to look at pond ecosystems for a day because we had learned about frogs in class recently. We were supposed to try to catch pond creatures in large white buckets so that we could identify them. After a while, all of my classmates had already caught tadpoles or minnows and I hadn't caught anything except mud.  I was determined to catch something so I came up with a brilliant  stupid idea. I thought that the creatures were hiding under the dock, so I put my bucket as far under the dock as I could.  The problem was that I couldn't pull the bucket back out of the water because of my lack of arm strength. I tried to move to the side but that just made everything worse. 

Hi people,  Sometimes, I sit at the computer after a long day, and I just want to take a nap. I reluctantly put my head down on the keyboard with the knowledge that once I look at my screen again I will find something that looks like: gthythhhhhhhh  rtffffffffffffffffgtyhujnygbfvcd I close my eyes, take a deep breath... and the ever-paranoid voice in my head screams, " CANCER! ".  I will never be able to relax, Will I? -Dianna

Hi people,  Today I will be writing about the phenomenon that is mental clutter. Mental clutter is the phrase that I use to describe random, distracting thoughts that get in the way of doing something.  When this happens to me, I feel as though I am trying to see the bottom of a murky pond. It is especially annoying when I am doing homework because I can't get anything done. At its worst, I can't even focus enough to read a paragraph.  This often happens when I am really nervous or tired.  I have been able to write this post in a brief moment of clarity.  -Dianna

Hi people,  This is probably going to turn into a type of rant. You have been warned.  If you haven't been living under a rock you know about D.I.Y. trends and all the annoying Pinterest people who create them. The point is to make things on your own, and yet there is no way that I  am going to be able to wallpaper my entire house in one afternoon.  Another infuriating example is an online tutorial that states that I can make my own sketchbooks at home. What they don't mention is that you can only complete the tutorial if you have book binding glue, a paper cutter, a bone folder, and linen thread. Where do I even buy one of these? I do not have any of those things in my house.  If I really wanted them, I would have gone to a craft store. If I could go to a craft store, I would have just bought a sketchbook.  In the end, I made myself a notebook with random objects I had in my house. It serves its purpose...for now.  -Dianna

Hi people,  Now that you got your daily dose of sarcasm, I should get to the point.  I have been thinking a lot lately, and one of these thoughts has been that I should write more. As a result of this, I have decided to post something every day this week.  I always say that I will write more but, I never do. The way that I plan to get myself to write more is by publishing this post. It is scientifically proven that if you tell people that you are going to do something, then you will be more likely to follow through.  You will  hear from me tomorrow.  -Dianna

Hi people,  Today I will be reviewing "Manchester by the Sea" which is a beautiful movie that not many people I know have liked.  After the death of his older brother,  a troubled, grief-stricken Lee Chandler (Casey Affleck) has to go back to his hometown to sort out funeral arrangements. While there, he finds out that he is now the legal guardian of his teenage nephew, Patrick (Lucas Hedges). The two of them spend the rest of the movie trying to come to terms with the way their lives have gone.  The movie is not entirely about grief , as Lee has his own deep-rooted issues that are shown through flashbacks. Lee has to learn to forgive the world, the people in his life, and most importantly, himself.  I find that the ending of the movie is the most interesting part. It really taught me that regardless of what may happen, life still moves on and that we need to accept that so that we may move on as well.   Other parts of what made this movie so engaging to me were the
