And then she said, it was time to move on

oi, i have something i want to rant about, but lets gets some of my day down in type.

ap tests are coming up, kinda stressed about the spanish one, but then again i'm also worried about the english situation and am trying to get that fixed. which means spanish is on hold until then. not so much worried about the apush, actually really confident about it. got a new desk today, it really ugly(lemenent) but we can fix that, it's peeling off and will solve most of my problems. w00t. polo is almost over, and i am happy with the season. i am doing very well and will do even better next season and during the summer.^^

and on to what i nee dout of my system. this is jsut a veiw i have, so please dont take it personally, but do keep it in mind when i give you a gift because even if i dont seem to be bothered, i really am and would appreciate it if you repected my feelings toward the matter. and that matter is the giving of presents. my veiw is, if you are given something you should be appreciative of that gift the way it is and not desire to alter it(unless thats whta the gift is for. i.e: a craft kit.) or if you do desire to alter it keep your trap shut and accept it as it is. to me this is proper gift ediquette. when great aunt flo gives you that flourescent pink leg warmer set your not going to go: "Oh great! if i take out the seams and dye it blue it'll be a great scarf!" and really, when i give a gift and some one says: "Wow! As soon as i do this it'll be niffy!" or "As soon as i add some stickers and marker it'll be swell!" Honestly, thats not how we were raised, and if you were I'd beat your parents upside the head with a bat. It's almost as bad as not giving out thank you cards. I'm really offended when i send a gift to someone(like my cousins, or Dan.) and i dont recieve some sort of confermation that they have recieved said gift, i get really bitter, and wonder if they actually recived it or even acknowledged that it was there(or that i'm there). it really pisses me off. most of the people i associate with, or that recieve gifts from me are very apreciative and at least pretend to like what they are given. i'll notive if you dont wear the scarves i give you, or jewelery, but if you at lease were thankful and appreciative that i took the time to make whatever you are given in front of me or give me some sort of thank you card is all i ask. i dont care if you think it is the ugliest thing to ever grace the earth, but telling me to my face that you want to do something to it besides add buttons really irks me. expecially when you know i've taken lots of time to make it(even if i say otherwise). it's offensive and you should understand that. and if you dont, you will not get any more gifts from me(at least none that i care about what you do with, because it wont matter what i think about it or how much time i took in thinking of what to get/make you.) and in closing: you can piss off.
