My obsessions...
Hey guys. it's been a while without a blog (I don't even think anyone reads this but whatever). I decided I would do a blog dedicated to my obsessions. I have a very obsessive personality and I always have something I am obsessed about. sometimes 2 or 3 things.
It started when I was a baby. I can't remember a time when I wasn't obsessed with teddy bears. I absolutely LOVED them. I still do
I have like 50 in my room and whole shelves dedicated to decorative bears. I had a subscription to a teddy bear magazine at one point!
Then I moved on to beanie babies. LOOOOOVED them. It started with the little ones at McDonald's. My and my younger brother both had sooooo many of them. Ten we got the bigger ones and the biggest ones.My favorite was a turtle named Speedy. I still have him and brought him to University with me.
After that I kinda had an obsession with Pokemon. I know I'm sad eh? but I watched the show and I had the gameboy game I had billion of action figures and handbooks. I was such a sucker for that type of thing.
Then I went through a hippo phase (random I know). I just loved everything that had to do with hippos. I even stole a hippo book from my school library. I used to draw hippos on everything. It was really wierd.
Then I had an obsession with the colour orange. It's still my favorite colour. My room is still orange.. But all my clothes were orange for a while. I really was a wierd kid.
Then I had an obsession with Pirates of the Carribean. I got the first one on DVD for christmas one year and watched it 25 times before Christmas break was over. I knew (and still know LOL) every single line of the entire movie. I had pics of Johnny Depp on my wall beside my bed. It was I think the worst obsession yet.
Then I went through an obsession of math/logic puzzles. The website I went to was www.conceptispuzzles.com . It is the best!!! I used to wait every week for friday to come because then new puzzles would come out. I am sooo wierd.
And theeeeen.... my biggest obssion of all time : Law and Order SVU! I am still suffering from this one (although not as bad as when I started I think). It all started after I watched fault 2 years ago. And I have been very crazy since. I would name off all the weird stuff I did but I'm sure you are all to familiar with the reading fanfiction, knowing all the names of all the episode, ect.
And my newest obsession (which is rivaling the SVU obsession) David Archuleta! I saw him first on American Idol and I have been in LOVE with him ever since. I rewatch all his AI performances on youtube, I am on David forums, I send him fanmail, I have downloaded his iTunes songs and listen to them every night when I fall asleep. And it's just getting worse. LOL it's hard to juggle both the SVU and the David obsession at once!
So that's it! It makes me wonder what my next obsession will be. So far I've had a toy, an animal, a clolour, a movie, a tv show, puzzles, and a singer. what's left!!!!
Frustration With The English Language...
OK well this is a mini rant about how annoying English can be. Mind you, I don't spea any other languages fluently (I used to be OK in french and took a spanish class this term) so I don't have much choice in what to speak but sometimes the lack of descriptive words in English is frustrating. Specifically this is a rant about the word "love".
I love SVU. I love chocolate ice cream. I love my mom. I love David Archuleta. I will someday fall in love? Are these all the same???? Seriously, there should be at least 3 different words for love.
Love#1: This love is another way to say "strongly like". It wouldn't be used for people you know. I think it could be used for celebrity crushes or other people you don't know personally in addition to objects or activities you thoroughly enjoy. I love spring. Ilove Johnny Depp. I love eating breakfast. I love spending time with family. I love tv.com. You get the idea...
Love#2: This love is to describe your feelings for friends or family. I love my mom. I love my brothers. "I love you Jess (a friend)". Maybe this could include animals or anything you have a personal bond with (I would put my love for my teddy bear in this category just because
). This is deifferent for love#1 because you don't just enjoy these people, but you have a deep personal connecting with them. You miss them when they're not there, you think about them all the time, you're purely hppy when they're around. Although I might not Love#1 what my brother is doing (for example, if he's bothering me) but it won't affect my love#2 for him. Love#2 doesn't just happen, it's formed with time and experience together. When you love#2 somebody , it is a very special thing.
Love#3: This love is the type of love when a girl falls in love with a guy. I can say that I have never experienced love#3 before so clearly I am no expert but I have seen love#3 in many people. I won't try to preach what it is, becasue we all know (or don't know) what I'm talking about but it is different for love#2 and love#1 and is very special. I hope I will one day experience it.
But serieously guys... who decided these 3 should be the same word... they clearly describe very different emotions. Sometimes I want to tell somebody that I love#2 them but if I say it, it sounds so un-special because I use the word love 30 times a day describing things I love#1 love. Does't this bother anyone else?? I just hope everyone understands how much I apprciate them...
2 full years at tv.com! READ!!!!
WOW!
Actually I missed the date. It was like a week agao. hahahah
Yeah so it's been great everyone! I have made lots of virtual friends
WE've had sooooo many good times. Here I will mention people who have been my tv.com friends. most of them don't go on the boards anymore, which is kinda sad... I don't really either but whatever, I drop in every once in a while. University is crazy busy and I don't have the time to read every single post. But you guys are awesome! And my exams finish in a week so I will try to come on more... although its hard because most of the people who write on the boards I don't know because I've been gone for soo long. Anyways thanks to everyone whos been nice to me specifically:

Math!!!
So I don't know if anyone actually reads my blogs, but if you do, I decided I should blog about one of the most beautiful things ever. Mathematics.
I know, I'm crazy right??? OK wait before you stereotype me as some crazy person who can do crazy multiplication in my head and can recite pi to 100 digits... hear me out! I never was great at my timetables (thats more memorization than math anyways) but I was always good as a kid at puzzles and things and this is what helped me in math in elementary school. In high school, when real math begins IMO, I started to find it fascinating. Some parts obviously are annoying but it just got cooler and cooler as I learnt more and more.
Now I am University, and have declared math as my major, and boy I am excited! This year (I am in first year) I took 2 math courses; calculus and linear algebra. Calc is kinda cool and is more related to math i already knew (functions and such) but linear algebra is what really got me into it. It's just such a complex thing, multiple dimensions and such... impossible to picture in real life but yet, makes so much sense. And when I learn it, I just feel like my brain is expanding at a crazy rate, it's an amazing feeling! I love it. And I know I've only barely hit the tip of the iceberg of mathematics, and I still have 3 more years to learn more. I'm actually really excited. The crazy part is that the smartest persn in the entire world won't even be able to understant it all... its just sooooo big.
And its really cool how matrices, although seem so useless to real life actually have a huge application to almost everything. It's really cool. And when I'm done school I'm going to teach math so I can pass on my love for math to others.
Oh and Tom... if you're being a creeper and reading this A) you need a life B) You shouldn't have given up on math.
Dexter/David Archuleta.
OK have you guys watched Dexter. Now that show is the definition if INTENSE! And every single episode leaves you on a cliffhnger so you basicly have to watch both season straight (I watched 24 episodes in 5 days
). Its such a good show though. What a wierd idea... a serial killer who kills serial killers. WOW.
Anyways in other news... anyone watch American Idol??? Anyone els in LOVE with David Archuleta????? This kid is soooo amazing, I love his voice and he has such a cute personality. OH man, I have a mini obsession over him
blah
