I am disgusted. "Reality-based television" is ridiculous. Why is it entertaining? I don't know. I guess I just don't find it interesting to watch these people sit around in their little isolated worlds. Woo.... a bunch of people stuck on a island eating rat. This is quality entertainment. Bah. I'm not so opposed to people watching it, or anything like that, I just find it all a bit hard to believe.

First of all, it's not really "reality based" because let's face it. If you had a camera following you around, chances are your behavior would change. Maybe after long enough that would change, but we must also consider that most of these "realities" (if not all...) are completely artificial, like sticking a bunch of people into a house, or dumping a bunch onto an isolated and empty island. Reality, of course.

Well.... enough complaining and rambling for now. Back to work.

My goodness. It's been a while since I've written. I think I'm going to have to move my blog off of inasphere space, seeing as they're going through weird reconstructions and such, and it would be a lot easier for me to just stay where I have been before. I'll probably update it later.

Camp was good fun. Living in a house in Maine without electricity or running water with 25 other people from around the world is a very interesting experience, but interesting in a good way.

I have little to no desire to work on putting my 30 pages of written thoughts from camp online. Blogger doesn't have anything for entering things in the past (not that it should, it's merely that it would be a lot easier for me.) so what I'm considering is doing it all manually and putting it online myself as a seperate section independent of this Blog.

There's so much I want to do, but it's stuff that I don't actually push myself to doing. Stuff like doing some research for this science project idea I've got. Stuff like working on my terribly lacking writing skills for PSATs and SATs. Stuff like writing letters and emails in order to keep in contact with the people I've met at camp. Well, I did a little of that already, but far less than I would have liked. The problem is, I'm terribly easily distracted by things such as computer games, or going over to friends houses, or watching some movie that my family rented (note: the House on Haunted Hill is a Bad movie.)

Well, seeing as I am currently at the Traxit/Schoolbrain Offices, I should probably stop wasting time and get back to work.
