Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... Get on your way!

Personally, I really like phrases, mottos, metaphores and quotes. They explain things you can't explain, they are encouraging and ok sometimes they're superstitious nonsense, but mostly they are genrally good.
ANYWAYS, I live by a few mottos, my favourite is by far:
IF YOU REACH FOR THE STARS, ALL YOU GET ARE THE STARS, BUT IF YOU REACH FOR THE HEAVENS YOU GET THE STARS THROWN IN!
I also like:
You have brains in your head
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose
You're on your own
And you know what you know
And YOU are the one who will decide where to go
-Dr. Seuss
Hehe, I only knew the first half until I googled it to find out who said it (either Dr. Seuss or Walt Disney) and I saw the whole thing :D
 Dr. Seuss has some pretty awesome quotes:
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... Get on your way!
Quotes like these just make me smile :D

One time I was at the park with one of my very good friends, and I saw on the play equipment:
Never give up,
That's what they want
I thought that
a) It was a tad creepy
and
b) It was VERY cool

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon!
I am a slow walker... but I never walk backwards (Abraham Lincoln)
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Some of them (like that last one) are stupid--stupid but useful. It is a very good piece of advice, meaning take things slowly, don't expect too much because you could be VERY disapointed.

Some people think they're stupid wastes of time, but I just downloaded a daily quotes app. I think they're brilliant.

If rabbits took over the world....

SO, I was riding to school today and I'm like What if rabbits took over the world? 
Really, what IF Rabbits took over the world? Would we become their slaves? Would we have to learn the ways of the rabbit and speak Rabbit? 
After a long discussion about zombies with my friend, I wondered whether we'd all turn into mutant-rabbits, the ultimate phycopaths?
I asked another friend and she said "We'd all be forced to eat carrots for the rest of our lives!"
My response was "What do rabbits prefer, lettuce or carrots?"
We decided on lettuce, but seriously, can man live on lettuce alone? Or would we have to turn into mutant bunnies first?

How are you, seriously.

People ask you: "How's your day been?" or "How's your week been?" or just maybe "How have you been?" and then you're all like "Good." in a totally bored and robotic voice, because that is the "correct" answer to that question.
There isn't a correct answer to any question, unless it's maths (Yay for maths! Until it does your head in....), it's all about you, your opinion.
YOUR OPINION ALWAYS MATTERS.
When someone asks me "How's your week been?" I take a moment to think, Seriously, how has your week been? 
These days my weeks have been boring, school, home, school, home, school, drama, home, piano, friends house, home. Same old, same old, the only thing chaging are the songs I learn.
But then, I have my thoughts, and that is pretty crazy.
Some of the stuff that goes through my head, insane.
Sometimes I think I may be insane.....
So, if you ask me how my week has been right now I'll be all like "Repetetive." in a bored way, but that's totally true.
Honesty is better, and seriously you get bored of people saying just "Good." or "Okay.", you want something different, don't you?
Repetition is really boring, and everyone knows it.
So, you know what, I'm all, ditch repetition, I'm going to be a rebel, I'm going to wear Converse to school today instead of boring, old, uncomfortable, repetitve school shoes, just to liven it up a bit.
And then you get a detention and you swear on your life that youur dog peed on your school shoes (which in my case actually did happen one time) and then your old and boring teacher is all like "If you don't wear proper uniform tommorow...." in that really threatening tone and you realise that you didn't get away with it...
But you see, even if it doesn't have any benefits, it really does, it livened up your day, just that little bit.
Now when yuo get asked how your day has been you now can be all like "I wore my Converse to school today and got totally busted and now I have a detention and I have to wear my school shoes tommorow 'or else' "
Don't you find that totally more interesting that just "Good."?
