Happy Valentine's

Yes, it's Singles Awareness Day Valentine's Day, hooray. Nobody ask me if I'm "having fun with my sweetheart LOL" because I am currently single, which actually doesn't matter to me. Yes, OMG, I don't have a very special somepony! Although what depresses most people on Valentine's is that they are miserably Forever Alone, I am quite happy with my status of singularity. What I am irritated about is the fact that no boyfriend=no ridiculously big heart-shaped box of delicious (FREE) chocolate. But everything's turned out fine, since I got a bag of chocolates from Mum, and a few cookies from my friends. I love Valentine's Day.

A Parable From the Life of Abby

Today, dear readers, I am going to tell you the real true story of something that happened to me a while ago. If you love me, you won't laugh. Screw it, you probably will. Just read it.

I was at my bus stop, watching as my friend tried to get one of the passing buses to run over a soda. As she tried and failed time after time to move that soda to the appropriate point in the road, several people looked on in amusement, but not one teacher noticed. Eventually, my friend told me that I should go and try to move the soda a little so that the next bus would hit it. I thought about it. I didn’t want to move it, in case I would get in trouble, but I really wanted to see what happened when a bottle of soda got run over by a bus. I tried to say no anyway, but my friend just pushed me out into the road and told me to move it quickly. So I did. I went and moved it. Naturally, although the teachers had miraculously not seen my friend on any of the more than five occasions she moved that bottle of soda, they noticed me immediately. Although I tried to explain that I was just an innocent spectator who had been pushed into the road and told “move the bottle!” my friend denied it and the teachers didn’t buy it. So, I had to go and get the soda out of the road, and the teachers all scolded me, “Bad girl, Abby, accusing your innocent friend just to get out of trouble! Bad girl, Abby, trying to get a bottle of soda run over by a bus!” My friend thought it was absolutely hilarious, and knowing her, she probably pointed me out to those teachers.

I think we have all learned a valuable lesson in gullibility.

Quote of the Day

I might do this again later if I can't think of anything else interesting to post. But for now, I just wanted to show you this quote. It's pretty funny and actually sums the difference between knowledge and wisdom up nicely.

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting a tomato in a fruit salad."

Hello Again, People...

After a slight hiatus (for the silly reason known as "education"), I am back to actually begin this blog. Currently, I'm considering it an achievement that I actually remembered that I was doing this. Anyhoo, I'm thinking I'll do at least one post a day from now on, even if it ends up just being something short. To tell the truth, they (the posts) probably won't be all that short, as I have plenty of time to think of interesting blog topics while zoning out in class. My profs do love to drone... Well, see you tomorrow, I suppose.
