Beginning of Blogging

Today, (January 20, 2008, which happens to be my friend's B-day) is the day that I start writing, for FUN! (Is that even possible?!) It just so happens that my father was finishing one of his blogs and I happened to look at everything he had written. There was one where my mother had broken the "weight barrier"(Apparently, that is the limit for the weight of my mom, which usually increases but rarely decreases. Sorry Mom) I remember laughing about it for a really long time and for good reason. It was HILARIOUS!

Anyways, this day is supposed to be torture because I usually don't like to write but I have actually written a lot. (For me, this is a lot.) And, I seem to enjoy writing this. In school, there are rules about writing that I rarely break but always end up getting a B or an A-, but never an A+. Here are the rules.

• Always use proper grammar and spelling
  
• Use AMAZING word choice so the readers DON'T fall asleep (that ends up happening to me sometimes)
  
• Keep your piece organized so your beginning paragraph isn't at the end and your reasons for comparing something isn't in the wrong paragraph and you get the main idea.

I am going to stop describing the topic of English because your might fall asleep. I definitely will soon!

When I was getting my URL and my title for my blog, I seemed to be doing everything wrong. When my mom and I thought of something which wasn't THAT bad, it would be brought down by the ultimate ruler, the computer. Everything I put in and crossed my fingers for, the computer ends up telling me that someone else has that already! (Tip: in the future, never cross your fingers for good luck. Before I thought crossing one finger was good luck, but then it was two fingers, and then three fingers, and finally it was to cross everything that you can, including your toes, hands, arms, and legs. I tried that and I just fell over. After that, I just gave up on it.) It was so frustrating! Then we typed in something and we finally made it. Sometimes I wish that humans never knew about technology, but then I would think about life without T.V.s and I pods. and cars and even toilets. (GROSS! is the word that describes life without toilets. Just imagine. On the other hand, don't imagine!) Us humans would probably not be able to survive without technology. I know I couldn't and I wouldn't!

This is the beginning of blogging for me and I think I did pretty well, but I wonder what my English teacher would say. . .
