It's a great day for genocide

The worst part about a technology-filled society is that I'm fucking techno-tarded. I don't know shit about how to work a computer or go about fixing something that's broken. Every time I think I'm having a major break through, a little box pops up and tells me something has gone awry. Awesome. When I try to go and get help, it seems that no one around me knows what to do, either. Is anyone even trained on technology??? Like, seriously, (okay maybe not seriously). But, it feels like half of us know what the hell we're doing, and the other half are just waiting for someone to tell us what to do. How am I supposed to rely on technology in my society when damnear a select few are the only ones who know how to work it? There's no way we can run on computers and smart phones if we don't know how to properly work them. It's like trying to turn America into a country where we rely on horses for everything, but most of us don't even know how to get on a horse, let alone know how to ride one. It just doesn't work! The people who should be in charge, the ones with the best morals and are at least fairly intelligent, can't do so if they don't know how to work a freaking piece of technology. Then again, I'm sure you can hire someone to do it for you. Still, why should it come down to that? We don't all speak different languages, we shouldn't need a fucking interpreter.

I was at the Microsoft store yesterday and the day before because my computer was 1) broken and 2) hates me. I can't figure out how to do anything on this laptop. Windows 8 is so complicated, and apparently I need a Microsoft account to do everything. It won't even let me download the Skype app and log into my previous Skype account, it's telling me to make a new one to go with my Microsoft account. The people at the Microsoft store couldn't even find a way around it. Does that make any sense? I want a computer that let's me do what I have to do, not make a whole new identity. If I wanted that, I'd ditch this town and call myself Corella as I moved to France to ride elephants in a French circus. When someone who is supposed to be skilled at working with your type of computer and can't even give you an answer as to why they can't help you, something is very very wrong. Then, while they were attempting to get my computer to cooperate, my lock button broke on my phone. Technology should not be this imperative for me that I rely on it every single day to get through. I have to bring my laptop to school everyday to get things done. Pretty sure I was fine taking tests on paper and not having to look things up in class. I know how to get around the system and get on social media sites. (Obviously I didn't figure it out myself, my friend who knows what he's doing set it up for me.) If I can beat the system, plenty of other people can beat the system. Then what do you have left? A school filled with hooligans who already sneak their phones into class all the time, and are now allowed a larger piece of technology to abuse, pretty much with permission. How are they gonna know what you're doing on your own device? They don't. (Well, maybe they can check, but they're not going to unless you give them some sort of reason to suspect you.) This whole idea of BYOD aka Bring Your Own Device is ridiculous. Everyone I know prefers to take a test on a piece of paper, or have something tangible. Not a screen I have to stare at that makes me see stars when I actually lift my head up for fresh air and to give my little girl eyeballs a rest. On the bright side, eventually with evolution we'll stop getting Carpal Tunnel. On the other hand (why isn't it called "the dark side", if we have a bright side, we should have a dark side), that is the only plus, at least the only one I can think of.







Look at me. I take pictures during school all the time and no one says anything to me. That's not okay! I should paying attention in class, but teachers don't seem to "notice" that I'm taking pictures of myself and everyone around me. The last picture is me from like 10 minutes ago, while the rest of my class is taking a midterm test. I got done early and so I started fucking around. The second to last picture was last week, where I was also taking a midterm test. But who gives a fuck what I'm doing on my technology? The teacher is even in the picture. (I promise the teacher is not the one who's head I am squeezing.)

Technology needs a little cut back, I say.

I tried to be good but I'm just bad bad bad bad bad

Often I find myself with the urge to get on here and rant, but what do I even talk about? I don't really have much to say, or if I do, by the time I sit down to write about it the passion is gone or I forget what I was trying to preach. It happens to the best of us, though. So, the point is; the current post will have no moral significance for anyone. Or at least I have no intentions of such. It's just an outfit post! (ooh my favorite!) I completely lack on talking about style when that's why I made this damn blog in the first place.

aww look at dat qt
I made a head chain! I bought a chain from Michael's, as well as some jumper chain things, and a set of three elephant charms. I just measured around my head, cut the chain, then attached the two ends with the jumper. After that i put the elephant charm on. The head chain is also supposed to have a link that goes over the top of my head, but the chain around fits my head well, and it being like that, it would look a little strange if I just had a chain on the top of my head. I'm going to make another and hopefully it'll work out better. The elephant tickles my head a lot..




The only weird thing about the top photo is the fact that the triangle of colors is pointing straight at my vagina, so you really notice that general area. I know it works like that because I'm in AP 2D art, not because I'm actually informed on the workings of the brain.
