If I had a choice, I would hand write everything.
Sure it hurts really bad after a while, but I think it is totally worth it. (Keep in mind that I am a righty and I don't have to deal with all the smudgy-horrors of being a lefty) The main reason has to be because I hate typing. I was never any good at it, and I still can't type without staring at the keyboard. It sucks. When I was younger, I always just got my mom to type up my stuff for me. See, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I mean, who doesn't want a free stenographer at any given moment? I sure did!
But now, I can't type well. And I feel like you really need to be able to type well to get along in the Modern World. Back in the days of Thoroughly Modern Millie, stenogs would just type for you and life was peachy! Everyone was happy in their cute little flapper dresses and they all just tap danced around all the time... oh wait... that is just in musical theatre.
Well that is how it SHOULD be.
Do you ever wish life was like a musical? At least the good parts of musicals (Take out all the heartbreak and the drama)? Well I, for one, would be perfectly happy having people break out into random song and dance all the time. I think it would be great! Well, it would be great if everyone had good voices, but I still think it could be super fun!
And this is where I stop, have JD moment, and realize... my life is kinda like that already. With the amount of time I spend in the RMA and with the theatre and techies of my dear school, I get my fair share of singing and dancing at any given moment. It is great!
Well english is almost over, so I will call it quits for right now. Catch you on the flip side!

Starting with a *BANG*
...Well... not really
Starting with a bang suggests that I have something important or at least interesting to talk about right from the get-go. But that isn't exactly true. I honestly have be stuck in my room for the last two days, studying.
And if you are anything like me, that word brings a shutter of nauseating sickness over your body.
"So, to get your mind off of that horrible topic, I will just randomly talk about... well, whatever I want I guess." <-- That is how I got the name for this blog: Jumble of Mumbles. I am a rambler. I think of a topic and I can go on and on about it for pages.
Now, doesn't that sound super exciting!? sure, but if I was you, I wouldn't want to read pages and pages of the stuff (for lack of a better term) that comes out of my crazy mind. So, I will start with a topic and try to limit my nonsense to a short, and easily readable length.
And away we go!
CLEANING YOUR ROOM:
I know what you are thinking, "Why on Earth would I want to read a blog about the chore I hate most in the world?!" But, I agree with you! Cleaning sucks!
Every time I actually get down to throwing away the crap that has accumulated in my bedroom, I find the coolest stuff.
So THAT is why I am writing about cleaning, to tell you about the crazy junk I found hiding in my drawers and under my bed.
1. Bird Hat: Now this one joined my room very recently, so I actually remember why it is there. It is a felt parrot head with a green beak, and it is from a play. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, I just got done playing Edwina Spoonapple, a 13 year old advice giver extrordinaire, in Centerstage's production of Dear Edwina. It was super fun and during one of the scenes, a girl turns into an angry parrot because she won't say please. (cheesey I know...) anyways that is why I have a parrot in my room. check. done.
2. Jewelry: I guess this isn't as exciting as my parrot story, but I found necklaces, earrings, and bracelets that I haven't seen since I was in 5th grade. And unfortunately most of them where in one huge tangled mess in my bathroom drawer. Most people hate untangling things, but I don't. Who knows, maybe it is the techie in me, or maybe it is the love for problem-solving that I have had since I was a little tike, but it doesn't bother me at all. I think it is kinda relaxing. right... jewlery... you better believe I am going to be wearing all of that stuff that I just found in the near future! check. done.
3. Squishy Ball: I don't know about you but at my elementary school there was a monster fad from when I was a 4th grader. The squishy ball. They were all the rage and I found 3 of them while I cleaned. Now for those of you who didn't get to enjoy this amazing trend, I will give you some pictures and insight.
There are three types that I found lurking deep within the piles of my bedroom:
~exhibit A: mini balls within the ball. These ones are supper good if you are bored during class or need something to do while you space out at your wall. They feel super odd and are kinda, well in my mind at least, they are kinda like amoebas. They constantly change and shift shapes, which is fun!
~exhibit B: spikey balls. And yes, mine did have a creepy, yet somehow adorable, little face on it. It almost makes you feel bad about mashing them up in your angsty teen fists. But you don't really care in the long run, cause it is way too much fun!
~exhibit C: oozers. These are by far the coolest of the three in my opinion. They are uber cool looking and they are slimy and gross. And what kid doesn't like things like that?! Sadly, they are a huge hand work out... but it is totally worth it!

Now you are probably thinking "Okay, so now what? I know about stupid stress ball things, but who cares?" I'll tell you why these were so important back in my elementary years. Two words:
Silent. Ball.
Best game ever invented by teachers! It was genius! They had all the kids sit on their desks and gave the class one "silent squish ball". Unless you had the ball, you couldn't make any noise. And even when you had the ball, you couldn't talk... aka peace and quiet for 4th grade teachers everywhere. The point of the game was to throw the ball to your classmates and try to get people out.
Ways to get out:
~1. throw the ball illegally. You couldn't throw the ball too hard, too fast or overhand. If you did, you were out and had to sit down at your desk.
~2. don't catch the ball. If you weren't paying attention, one of your classmates was bound to notice and they would throw the ball to you, and make sure you missed it. Then you would be out.
~4. talk. Say anything, make any noise, clap your hands, laugh, anything. and you are out. tough luck. and believe me, it is hard for 4th graders to stay quiet, so this got tons of kids out all the time.
~3. get off of your desk. If you got off of your desk, you're out. enough said.
Now you may be thinking that there are a bunch of loopholes in these rules, and there were. But that made it more fun! It made it super subjective.
Well, I guess that is enough Mindless Mumbles for today. Catch you next time around!
