on sleepovers, old Disney movies, and thesis sentences
February 1, 2010
I was reading some of John Green’s old blog posts from his site, sparksflyup.com, and found a VERY EFFECTIVE way to blog:
Self-interview.
I’m gonna try it.
Q: What did you do today?
A: I woke up at 10:00 am central time, looked out of my window, and saw the snow which allowed me to miss school today. Throughout the day, I wrote an outline of a book I imagined yesterday (incomplete, of course), became a master of procrastination, and was invited to a friend’s house to sleep over.
Q: So how’s the sleepover going?
A: I brought my AP English stuff with me. Two people in my class live at this house, and they haven’t begun to do this homework yet. Due to the ice on the roads, we’ve gotten 3 snow days. This thesis sentence was due Friday. Thank you, Jesus, for giving us all of this deplorable weather.
We’ve watched three movies: The Sword in the Stone, Atlantis: the Lost Empire, and Holes. I haven’t been able to focus fully because (surprise surprise) I have to finish this thesis TONIGHT or I won’t be able to enjoy myself tomorrow. I don’t even like the essay I’m analyzing. It’s called “Women’s Brains” and it discusses scientific findings concerning brain size and intellect of different social groups. This is, by far, the least interesting essay I’ve ever had to read. I’m so glad that I can share my misery with the world through my wonderful blog.
Q: Okay, you answered my question about thesis sentences, but not so much about the sleepover. Really, what’s going on at the sleepover?
A: Not much of anything. We’re all exhausted and ready to sleep. We ate a lot of food, though. I had some nice chicken and dumplings earlier.
Q: How about the old Disney movies?
A: The Sword in the Stone was pretty refreshing…I missed little Arthur and Archimedes. They’re entertaining, but not so much as the fact that my friend Mary STILL has a VHS. I haven’t used one of these ancient machines in 4 years! (I’m sure that I sound like some insane juvenile at this point, but considering the fact that I am actually 16, I suppose I can be.)
Q: It’s getting pretty late.
A: I was gonna go to sleep pretty soon anyway. I have to finish my thesis first, so I should be wrapping up this blog pretty soon.
Night y’all!
