Advice column is getting kinda repetative..., feel like im running out of ideas, so im gonna kinda switch up the style here. First off im gonna let ppl know how things have been going the last few days in the life of isaac. Advice column has kinda prevented that. Then i will give out some advice. I realize that while I might not find it as the first column, ppl are still in dire need of my insightful advice...duh. So, I wont leave you all helpless, Im still happy to answer. Please though, try to come up with more interesting/specific questions, broadbased ones are somewhat tough to answer. Got a few more ideas though in terms of where this lj can go. Maybe one or two advice columns a week? Possible answering a few questions in one entry? Let me know what you think, feedback is the only way to make this journal great.
I guess Ill start with the advice. Todays question comes from sidne(last name unavailable at time of publication) of Nasheau(sp?), New Hampshire. Sid asks "How do you get shady people to not be shady? You know, those people who cant say hi?" Well sid, aside from not completely understanding your question ill try to come up with some advice for you. From my experience in high school and other places, ppl dont just say hi to you, most of the time they know you first...am i crazy? So do you have a problem with ppl you know not saying hi to you, or would you just like strangers to say hi to you? I guess ill adress both questions...i should be payed extra.
If scenario number 1 is your problem, then i think maybe you have a personal issue with your friends. I myself am not so good at saying hi to people in the hall. However me and my friends/associates ahve had meetings and disscussed this problem. Weve been able to work around it, and our friendships/associations have flourished. Maybe your friends would be more comfortable with a casual wave? A handshake? A slapup?
Another way to solve this very troubling problem that you are encontering is to maybe try saying hi to ppl? From our various aim conversations it seems to me as if you are not making much of an effort to increase your number of friends and associates(which you should be doing!). Maybe if you say hi to these people you consider friends/associates they will say hi back. Who knows maybe they think the same way of you that you do of them. MAYBE YOUR THE SHADY ONE?! Could they be writing some other persons lj asking for advice on how to deal with your abnoxious habits. Seems probable if you ask me.
Scenario 2...kinda seems more likely of the two to me, but who knows, i could be wrong. Well sid, I dont know what they do in Vietnam, but unless im in an especially cheerful mood i usualy reserve my greetings for ppl I KNOW! So you have to choices, a) either meet ppl, this way you know them and they say hi to you/you say hi to them. b)postulate some way to get to say hi to you without actually knowing them. Well for situation a..maybe you should see yesterdays advice column on how to meet ppl. For you id add, try talking more in class, and maybe doing some sort of extracuricular activity. I hate to break it to you(well actually i dont really mind but w/e), this isnt 3rd grade anymore. Most ppl arent just gonna start talking to you cuase they want anther present at their birthday party. You have to make some sort of EFFORT, effort being the key word. As for situation b, maybe like buy a t shirt stating that ppl should say hi to you? Idk, my advice can only go so far, maybe some other reader can help you out? leave a comment, or ask me for her sn.
Now onto what ive been up to the last few days...
1)Running, need i say more..i think not
2) Got my permit, and subsequently have gone driving a grand total of 4 times since
3)Went out to dinner tonight/My cousins from out of town are here/ethans got a baby sitting job
4)Thousands of other little things which may have been mentioned in a more detailed post, but are being left out in this one.
About my permit, we had some difficulty at the dmv, which involved going to the dmv, going back home, going back to the dmv, and then getting my permit in a very out of order fashion. Passed the test though..thank god, after my results on the practice round i was a little nervous. Got 100% though : ), maybe they should give me my license automatically? First time driving was fun. Then my mom decided to take me out later. She drove me to the parking lot and let me do my thing. I guess i impressed her with my starting and stoping skill, a little turning too. So much in fact that she said "why dont you drive home." I questioned weather she thought maybe she should reconsider her judgment, but she thought it was the best thing for me. So i made sure there wernt any cars near me, and pulled out of the parking lot, and made a right turn onto blossom road. Well i ended up in the left lane, and my mom got kinda nervious for a second. So i quickly got into the right lane...a little to quickly. I ended up with about a quarter of the car on the curb and popped the front right tire. Well it was boud to happen some day. Today i stayed in the parking lots, but i think i did a pretty good job. Soon ill be a full licensed driver...
Dinner today was normal, but id just like to give josh the magician at lourains (sp? formerly the lunch basket place on culver near the corner of E Main). He was VERY entertaining. Everyone should check him out. If i read the sign correctly hes there thurs from 4-8, but maybe you should call ahead. Really everyone should go see him! This kids got talent. And for the ladys, hes about 17, and i belive available, dont waste your time!
Cousins are here...well im not sure if they are cousins but they are some sort of family, i belive from Michigan. I think maybe the 2 kids are second cousins, not quite sure what their mother and me are in terms of a relationship..first cousin once removed? Well it doesnt realy matter. So i visited with him a little(the 16 year old boy). He was down in our basement on my bros computer when i got home, so i watched him use aim for a little while, it was extermly exciting. So then i went upstairs, and he came up and visited after about a half an hour. More fun. Idk, i feel weird meeting ppl who you havent seen in a while, but kinda know, and are like expected to be friends or w/e. hmm i dont realy know what im talking about here.
As for ethans baby sitting, well in the middle of eating diner we remebered that hes suposed to baby sit for our 4 year old neighbor. And im begining to think this might be an every week thing. Well you may be wondering.."Isaac why is this a problem?" Well, me and the 4 year old, dont really ummm get a long. I DONT CARE IF HES FOUR, I SERIOUSLY HAVE A PERSONALLITY CONFLICT WITH THIS KID!!!! and i dont want him at my hosue for 1 out of every 7 dinners, its unacceptable. Every time he comes over i feel kinda mean cuase im not "nice" to him, but someone has to be, this kid is sooooooo stuck up. If you ned more info about why i dont like this kid id be glad to talk on aim. But this entry is about done. As always thanks for your time.
