My rant for today is the website, www.mylifeisaverage.com, which is a sort of retaliation website to www.fmylife.com. Not that I'm hating on this website at all, quite the contrary--I think it's great and offers up some really funny personal stories. My issue with this website however, is that I don't feel that these are average daily stories. For a lot of these, I feel like they would make my day so fantastic. For example:
Today, I was taking a shower at the gym. I exited the shower, and the entire locker room was full of steam. I preceded to walk to the mirror, only to read "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware" written in the steam. MLIA
Okay, well I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan, so to me, this would make me unbelievably excited. I don't see this as an average day at all. For me, an average day would be something like "Today, I tripped up my stairs. MLIA." I suppose, though, that I'm really easily amused, so life's little funnies seem to get me. Like today. I went to Starbucks with my roommate, only having $4 in my pocket, so I knew that I wouldn't really be able to get a drink after tax. My roommate offered to buy my drink, which was no big deal, since we do things like that for each other all the time. I couldn't decide what I wanted, and I have talked to the barista working the register before, so I told him he would decide. He made me a peppermint white mocha, ensuring me that it would "taste like Christmas." I'm a huge fan of Christmas, so I enthusically accepted my drink. When my roommate went to pay, he told us our total was $3.49 (for two mixed Starbucks drinks...clearly only the price of one), giving us a big smile. I tasted my free drink, and sure enough it did taste like Christmas! I was so happy, I gave the barista a high-five and a $3 tip. I don't think this was an average day at all--it was a great day!
So my advice: Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the little things in life. Don't think of them as average. Instead, the small gifts life gives you should be treasures!

My First Blog
Hello World (or more probably, you who has stumbled across my new blog)!
I'm Sianna and this is my first blog (save a xanga.com account I once had when I was about 15). I'm not really sure how this is going to go, but I think it'll just be like a diary, except wayy more public. This is mostly because I'm far too narcissistic to think that my thoughts and ideas should be private. So we'll all just play it by ear.
Since I know you're all just dying to know all about me, I'll let you into my background a bit. I'm finishing up the first semester of my junior year at Pace University in New York. Even though I go to school in the Empire State, I'm from Long Beach, CA, and I'm a total Southern California girl. I hate the cold, so living here kind of sucks for me, at least from November to like March. But I get to go to Long Beach for Christmas and summer!
My rant for today is people who bail. I just can't stand it. See, I need to do community service for a class I'm in. Now, since I'm not from around here, I have no car to get to my volunteer work. I'm supposed to be doing this with a friend of mine who has a car, but she's flaking on me basically on a day-to-day basis. I'm worried now that I won't get my 15 hours (due Tuesday, and I have 4) because I'm completely reliant on her car. I don't know what she plans on doing, since she also needs these hours. Anyway, I guess my advice for anyone is, if you plan on committing to something, make sure you actually commit. Take into asccount the people around you. Because by flaking on something, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is rude.
