who is the most famous person?

An intriguing question. Who do people think is the most well-known person EVER? Of course, there are many different kinds of famous. So most people split them up into categories.

Religious category, of course it was God. Or Buddha. Or Muhammad. Whoever their God is.

In music, popular vote was The Beatles, followed by Elvis Presley.

In celebrities, many people named...Tom Cruise. Nice.

Historic people... Hitler. Osama Bin Laden. Mother Theresa. The Queen.

Overall, it seems that God wins. That's fitting. Nice win, Creator of all!

blog

-i hate it when your friends text people while your hanging out with them. it's like saying "hey, you really aren't enough for me to be entertained by. i'd rather text someone for 4 hours until i fall asleep."

well, screw you, teenagers. put down that freaking phone and remember that human interaction is good.


moral of my blog? teenagers with avid texting fingers can SHOVE IT.

realiazation:my social status


I've realized that I do not have that many friends. Nobody asks me to hang out. I spend lot a time at home.



I used to feel like I had a lot of friends, as in I went to parties and stuff a lot. But now, in the dead of winter, when I go home and have an evening filled with watching TV with my parents while they fight, I realize I really don't have a lot going on.



But the thing is, I don't care. Sure, it's a little bit depressing, but I don't like hanging out with people most of the time anyway. I mean, teenagers TOTALLY SUCK. All they do is gossip and text. Gossip and text, text and gossip. I don't like either of those things.



I don't really have anything to say to wrap up this blog post, so I'm just gonna go ahead and end it.

mock trial!

Today was the very first time I have ever competed in a mock trial competition. Owatonna held an invitational meet. I was two witnesses today. One being an annoying twelve year old prankster, the other a professional, arrogant 52 year old meteorologist. Being two different witnesses means being in two different trials. And let me tell you, they're not fun unless you really dig court stuff, as I do.

Imagine an episode of Law & Order, now imagine the lawyers as awkward, awkward teenagers. And that's how my day went.

So, in the first trial, I was the meteorologist, Harley Bolton. I was the VERY LAST witness to be called to the stand, so I had to sit through the whole trial freaking out, because I wasn't sure if I'd remember anything. And when I'm nervous, my stomach growls like I haven't eaten for WEEKS. It's embarrassingly loud.

Anywho, I get up to the stand, and my lawyer is being one of those "um, er, uh" AWKWARD teenage lawyers, while I answer his questions as if I'm an experienced, wise-about-weather person. After we've stumbled through the direct, I mentally prepare myself for the cross examination. My character had a drug problem, but it was nearly impossible to question me about it without being objected to. But, lucky for me (as in I wasn't lucky), the awkward kid who knew all the rules by heart, he found a way to make me admit Harley Bolton had a hardcore substance abuse problem. Danggggggggg.

And, if that wasn't bad enough, he twisted up his questions and made me sound like I was testifying in court as a favor. No, I was definitely not supposed to say that. I'm surprised I got a 9 (out of ten) on the direct and a 7 on the cross.

For the other trial, I more or less pretended I had ADD. 12 year old seem like they have ADD, right? So I didn't stop moving for the whole 2 hours of court. I fidgeted through the opening statements, direct and cross examinations of 6 witnesses (including my own), then the re-directs and re-crosses, the objections, the submitting of exhibits, the closing statements. I was getting tired of moving!

Funny thing is, our coach thought we won both of our trials, but we won neither. Oh well. We've got the rest of the season to work on stuff. Maybe we'll win the next one(s)!
