Oh My God? Did You Hear?

Have you ever met someone who has said, "Oh, you're ____! I've heard so much about you!", then spent the rest of the hour wondering what that person had heard about you?

 Let me tell you how all this starts. A girl, lets name her A, goes and tells B about C. And B tells D and E. D tells F and G and E tells H and I! Next thing you know, everyone, up to X, Y and Z knows about it!

Rumors are unavoidable. In your life, you'll come across many rumors about you. The best thing you can do is ignore. I've been victim to many rumors myself. And some of them are so untrue, they actually make me laugh! When someone is really bored with their own life, they start to talk about other people. And sometimes what they say about other people is made up, because they don't know the other person personally (Person Personally!:D That's a funny phrase!).            

Research has proven that every person has three personalities. One that others think we are, one we think we are and one we actually are. If we dwell too much on the first one, we never realize what the other two are. 

Gossiping leads to fighting, fighting leads to argument and argument leads to unhappy people. 


Now let's look at rumors from another point of view: An entertainment act. When someone gossips about an acquaintance they need at least a little information to create a complete background for the rumor. It keeps the person entertained for a pre-tty long time actually. I guess that's why people do it. 

So, my actual point of writing this post is to tell um, the ghosts that read my blog, that when you make a rumor, make it believable. Don't make it completely absurd(And people believe that absurd rumor! Idiots). That way you'll still be a respectable gossip monger. :) 




Fare thee well! (Pffft. As if any one's reading my blog.)

Vampires Suck Blood.



"His fingers were ice-cold, like he'd been holding them in a snowdrift before class. But that wasn't why I jerked my hand away so quickly. When he touched me, it stung my hand as if an electric current had passed through us." -Twilight

So, today, we're discussing Vampires.
Why? I have no clue. I just feel like I should talk about them.
In this world, we have like a thousand things to be afraid of. I'm terrified of lizards. Just speaking of them sends chills down my spine. Then there's fire, earthquakes, drowning in the sea, wolves, tigers, dinosaurs, gorillas, Big Foot, Pierce Brosnan (He is one scary dude.). Somehow, Vampires fail to scare us any longer.

Good Ol' Vampires.

Vampires are some kind of mythological creatures that drink blood (mosquito?) that were first heard about in 1734. That is OLD. They were SO cool. They used to like sleep in coffins and only come out at night. What party animals. They lived in a small cave. Somewhere in the middle of a forest or in old dark mountains of small villages. The village people were TERRIFIED of them. They would be scared at the thought of coming across a vampire. The depiction was such: White, white skin. Like chalk. Eyes that were red and sore. They wore black clothes and had black hair. And last and the most awesome, kickass, thing-I-would-die-for are their FANGS. See, they were creatures built out of imagination to um, sort of, in a way, discipline humans? Like they would be extra careful while doing things. And they would sleep on time. :P Or may be that person who thought up Vampires was just ultra-bored and wanted attention. Either way, they are super cool dangerous beings that like blood instead of good ol' OJ. 

New Pretty Boy (Or girl) Vampires. 

Beautiful? Vampires aren't supposed to be beautiful! They're supposed to be scary! What has the world come to? Next thing you know, even spiders will be beautiful. HELLO? THEY DRINK BLOOD! Since when did that become "sexy"? Its NOT sexy. Someone killing you is NOT sexy. What happened to the awesomeness of the vampires? Why are they suddenly so DESIRABLE? Seriously, guys. Would you want someone fantasizing about your BLOOD? I really want to know what Stephenie Meyer had in mind when she wrote Twilight. Why would you want to date someone who could kill you any minute? Sure, they look hot. But what happens when you can't eat hamburgers anymore? I would never give up my hamburger. Or even frozen yogurt for that matter. And blood is so salty. Yuck! Well, my point is, that don't try to change the creature into a "mesmerizing" thing rather than a soul-reaping thing. Soul-reaping is cool. Vampires WERE cool. Now they're just lame sparkling-in-the-sun creatures. (What's up with that?)

So, even though the Vampire fad has taken a whole new turn, there are some of us that like the old vampires better. I guess legends never die.
