"'There's also a thing called the Flamingo Tongue Cowrie.'" August 28, 2011

Messr. Padfoot would like to inform you that school starts soon and therefore posts will become shorter and more sparing. 

This does not mean I love you any less, it simply means that school sucks and I will be busy with friends, AC/DC, school, work, and general mischief.

Fear not, for the blogs will continue, just not long and lengthily.

Who and I kidding, they are never long and lengthy to start with, but I digress.

Anyway, Ms. Liz/ Padfoot/ Tex/ Be/ P-Body/ Whatever you'd like to call me's list of school tips:

1. Don't stress yourself. If you worry about acne, you'll get acne. If you worry about failing a test instead of studying and knowing you know the subject, you'll fail the test.
2. Don't let school get in the way of having a little fun. When push comes to shove, you'll want to remember the good and funny things about school, not the bad times.
3. Don't go looking for trouble. But if somethings a ton of crap, say something.
4. Be fearless. Screw what the teachers and other kids thing about you. I promise you that every little thing they say won't matter later.
5. Trust your teachers. Learn from them, and help them help you. You will do better and like your classes more if your teacher and you get along. I know this from experience.
6. For my college students, compromise with your roommate. They are your basic family for the year, and then can and will get you back if you're a bitch.
7. Nerds, I know we get full of ourselves. But be open about people. Maybe the kids on the basketball team love books or video games as much as you do.
8. Make a note to be nice to be everyone, regardless. You'll thank yourself for this, and it's a good confidence boost to know that you could be making some one's day a little bit brighter.
9. If you're starting at a new school, try wearing shirts of your favorite books, games or bands. Wear your Pizza John shirt! It makes it easier to make friends when people can see a common interest they share with you on your chest.
10. Stand up for yourself and the people around you. You don't know how much you could be helping someone by helping them out. And bullies will only bother you if you let them. And, if someone is bullying you than tell them to sit their ass down, and recognize that you're awesome and they can't stop you. Then ignore them. 
11. Be yourself. If someone doesn't like even one thing about you- your sexuality, race, choice of dress, ignore them and don't look back. Do what makes you happy.
12. And most importantly, remember that in some years time, all of the little things really won't matter as much as you think. When you're in school, everything seems ten times worse than it is. But that comes with adolesence. Embrace school and embrace yourself.

I'm rooting for you guys. Mark my words, this year's going to be awesome.

The day I can switch up my senses will be a happy one
