My Thirteen Cents

Career Choices (Sigh)

Okay, so I've (been forced to have) given some thought towards my future career lately. I mean, I've always thought about it at least a little bit. Like when I was 10, I wanted to be a cellist. I've wanted to be a veterinarian. I've wanted to be an actress. A doctor/psychologist/psychiatrist/neurologist. A translator. I know shows like Scrubs Hollywood-ize the whole thing, but it still makes me want to be a doctor. Even The Office sort of makes me want to sell paper for a living!! But here are some careers I don't want no matter how many shows they make:

Janitor

Garbageman ("waste management")

Plumber

Person who maintains the sewers

Porn star/Stripper

And then after I got really interested in photography, I was like, "Well it'd be really cool to work as a photographer." But 1) my obsession won't last long, and 2) photographers don't make a lot of money unless they're one of The Best.

I wanted to be a translator, but then I realized I'd have to master like five other languages in the next 4-8 years. Hmm. Or I could be a translator for just one or two languages and translate books, but they don't make very much money either.

I have to go; my brothers are being little crap-heads and they won't sleep.

The Library, a New Blog, and More

So I went to the library today. I spent like 30 minutes looking through the non-fiction section, looking for the photography section because I didn't feel like using the card catalog (you have to get one of the librarians, and I had no idea where the hell they were.) And then finally I went through the card catalog and found the section. Unfortunately, all the books on digital photography were written in like 1982, and it's like, "Um...no."

I've been really inspired to go out and shoot, but I can't in this neighborhood! But I've learned so much! I just want to try it out. ARGH.

Also, I learned how to pick bike locks today! :D Mainly because mine was messed up...I somehow accidentally changed the combo when I locked it, and then it didn't work when I tried to undo it, of course. So I had to walk home, get Dad to drive me to the library, and unlock my bike. (I didn't realize what had happened until Dad showed me what I did. Also super cool that I found out how to pick it lol.)

I have created a joint blog with a friend. We haven't written anything yet, but when we do, I'll share the link. I'm pretty excited, it'll be nice to have more than one writer.

I spent a bunch of time just YouTubing today. A bunch of Lion King songs in different languages! Arabic, Cantonese, Croatian, Icelandic, Greek, Hungarian, German, Polish, and Russian. I like "Morning Report" in Croatian, which is apparently "Jutarni Glas." And I found the Russian Winnie the Pooh!!!

CUUUUUUUTE!!!

 

Made a FaceBook Fanpage..."Being Awesome." :D

American Idol & DSDS

Alrighty, let's talk about American Idol!

I have only watched the top 12 guys sing, not the girls. So far, I think the best three guys are:

Todrick Hall:

Andrew Garcia:

and Joe Munoz:

As for Deutschland sucht den Superstar...I still don't care about any of the girls. But I hope one of these two win!

Manuel Hoffman:

and Thomas Karaoglan!:

A few mess-ups, but he's still awesome!
