Boring Blob of Nothing

I never do anything slightly interesting anymore. After the weekend all of my friends come to school with hilarious stories to tell. Me? Nothing.Well, I could tell them about the two books I read, parts of the story I wrote, or the shows I watched. Even if something remotely interesting happens, I forget to mention it and I seem like a boring, lazy, person who eats too much and has a lack of vitamin D. 
My weekend so far has been very boring. I honestly don't remember what I did on Friday so that proves to be a boring day. On Saturday I read Pretties before noon. I sat in my room for a long time and just listed the Kate Nash (my newest music obsession). At around 2 I ate some skyline and took some packages out to the mailman. I stood by the mailbox and he started to drive away. I just stared at him and said, "Uh, I'm mailing these," He stopped and took the packages saying, "Oh, you're mailing these out?" I was so confused. It's not like I stand next to mailboxes with packages because that's how I spend my time. Then I forgot to get the mail out of the mailbox. silly me. I think I ended up having 4 PB&J's yesterday. My parents went out for dinner and I really didn't feel like making anything, so PB&J it was. I started to read Specials, but got distracted by the tv. I watched iParty with Victorious on Nick. Then I watched Doctor Who and all I can say is EPIC MIND BLOW! My mind is still blown from that. I don't think I can view River Song the same way ever again. Today, still not interesting. I woke up and started reading more of Specials and occasionally went downstairs for food and some FoodNetwork watching. So far I've read about half of Specials and spent about half and hour looking for the alternate ending that is promised online. It was no where to be found. I had some pizza for dinner and here I am writing this blog about me being boring and stuff. 

Books Read: 15.5
Currently reading: Specials by Scott Westerfeld

Be yourself?

No one knows the real me. I'm not saying that I hide things, but everyone acts differently depending on who they are with. My theory is that the only time someone acts like themselves is when they are alone. Therefore, no one knows what anyone is really like. For example, someone may dress and act professionally when applying for a job to impress the employer, but they could spend their weekends getting drunk and playing poker all night with their friends. Who knows? Sometimes people get upset that people have multiple personalities and they act differently when they are with someone else, but everyone does it. If you are going to be mad at that person, be mad at everyone and even yourself. Don't deny it, you do it too. I don't believe in the quote, "Just be yourself, people will like you for who you are". I don't think people want others to like them, they want to appeal to others. I don't care if that makes no sense to anyone else, I'm sticking to it. I don't know how or when I started thinking about this, but I talked to my dad about it for awhile (I convinced him I'm going to be the next Dumbledore).
