Sup, homeskillets?

So, my friend who may or may not wanna be name dropped has a blog. I read her awesomely hilarious blog. And then I said to myself, "Well, gee. I want a blog too! And yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I totes magotes said 'gee'.

...and totes magotes. For those of you who are lost, I'll put a little dictionary or something at the end of this post. I use a lot of slang. And not only is it slang, but it's slang I kinda made up. It's legit ridic. I'm not well educated. How could you tell?

Actually, that's something of a lie. I'm not all that classy, but I have been known to lay around the pool deck with a copy of Les Miserables. The unabridged edition. One of my life's ambition is to learn enough French to read Les Mis in French, as it was intended. How many people can honestly say they've read Les Mis? Not many, let me tell you something.

Where was I? Oh yeah. Blogging. Right. I'm sorry, I have been known to have ADD esque moments, including but not limited to horrible segues, screaming "WAIT!" at the top of my lungs and scaring everyone in the vicinity, and chasing butterflies for no good reason whatsoever other than it's a butterfly. Yeah. I act like a seven-year old. It's not good.

Right. This blog. So, I'm sure you're wondering two things, if not more: Why 'See Me, I'm Bee Bee'? And why 'Straight Up, I'll Tell You'. The latter is easier to explain.

I had Straight Up by Paula Abdul stuck in my head. It's a really catchy song. Now, do I listen to Paula Abdul in my spare time? Not really. I had to go look up Paula Abdul singles on Wikipedia, because I couldn't really think of any. But then I found some and I was like, "Oh, yeah. I know that song!" Straight Up's my favorite though.

By the way, for kids that go to my school: they blocked Wikipedia. And TvTropes. How they haven't blocked Television Without Pity next is beyond me, but I'm telling you that's going to be next. And I will cry. Because TvTropes and TWOP make me laugh legitly out loud at school and it's fun to look up stuff during my free periods. No lie.

Okay, so. Back to why I'm 'See Me, I'm Bee Bee'. For starters, it is/was my formspring account name. I don't use formspring, and if you didn't get one during the initial craze, don't bother getting one because you have to be so secure with yourself to get some of the hurtful questions that come your way...like ridiculously secure. I only know one person in my life who is that secure with herself that she not only answered every single question she got, but laughed about the hurtful ones. And it wasn't like a defense mechanism or anything. She was legit.

Anyway, so I got one during the 'craze' (it wasn't really a craze), and at first I wanted to be 'Couldabeenacontenda' because I was in the middle of a very short Marlon Brando phase after watching The Godfather and The Godfather Part II one right after the other. It was bad. So, 'Couldabeenacontenda' didn't fit the amount of characters allowed for the username.

Now, on my swim team, a bunch of people call me 'B' or 'BB'. When I was a kid, I hated nicknames with a burning passion, but for whatever reason, I really like being called 'B'. Or 'BB'. Whatever floats the boat, man. I mean, for some people it just doesn't work, like they have to call me by my name and nothing else. Or Jenna (but that's a different story for a different time). But it's a cute nickname. It's bouncy, it's fun, it's...legit.

To be honest, I don't actually remember how the 'See Me I'm' part came out. Maybe it was because it rhymed. It's got a nice ring to it, no? I think so. Anyway, so that's why it's 'See Me, I'm Bee Bee'. I know you really enjoyed that story.

So what am I gonna be writing about? I actually have no clue. Whatever comes to me, I suppose. I spent a lot of time swimming, so I'm not as connected with the world as I probably should be or would like to be. It'll definitely be a very...ancedotal blog. And rambling. But like...just imagine me talking as you're reading this, and if you know me well enough, it should sound exactly like me speaking on any given day.

I have a tendency to start projects like this, and then completely forget about 'em and let them gather dust somewhere. We'll see what happens with this one though. -shrug-

Soooo...I hope you enjoy the ride? Yeah...it's late. I'm tired.

  1. Hello :) Fun times, reading this. I especially appreciated the translations; I really needed some help parsing your slangy language.

    Also: THEY BLOCKED WIKIPEDIA WUT ARE YOU KIDDING ME OH YOUR STINKING GOD NO NO NO NO WHY?!

    Dangit. That SUCKS. I still don't get why they banned TV Tropes!!

    P.S. I love that "could of been a contender" quote. Isn't that from On the Waterfront, which I've never even seen?

  2. Well, somebody told me they did, but I checked today and it turns out they didn't.

    ME NEITHER. Also, they banned blogspot at the school. I told you!

    And yes. It is from On the Waterfront. Which I've never seen either. Oh, yo, Marlon Brando was Colonel Kurtz and I didn't know that until Senor Barry and I were talking about it today.
