I have absolutely nothing to write about. My English teacher, that just so happens to be behind me, is pressing me to write a blog in my free time. The "wonderful" girl sitting next to me wants me to write about her.
Sooo.... here it goes?
Said girl:
Red hair. She's been to Ireland. I think. Uhm. She's getting her permit soon and her birthday is coming up. I forgot I can't mention names so this is going to seem very vague.
The girl that's sitting in front of me, kind of, also wants me to write about her. But my teacher just announced that she celebrates "No Shower Sunday". Basically, she "stays in pajamas" and "doesn't shower". Seems iffy to me. Whatever. The period is about to end so I'm going to submit this and hope for the best.

Trash pickup
Bulk trash day occurs on the first trash day of the month. Except in December when they pick up leaves instead of trash. To notify everyone of this change, the township posts a myriad of fliers all around town. On phone poles and on the little signs that you can find sticking out of the ground.
However, I have noticed the ignorance of some people. People in my neighborhood have brought out everything they could find. An old crib, trash and the like. However, a week later, it's still sitting on their front lawn waiting for someone to pick it up. It's been through snow AND rain so they can't even use the excuse "I'm hoping that a person who needs it will come by and swoop it away."
But the thing is, the mom is a stay at home mom that drives everywhere. Now, that's fine. No hard feelings there. But she drives everywhere. She should have seen at least 10 signs. She also parks on the driveway stealing a glance at her pile of junk sitting on her lawn and on her surrounding neighbors. However, this is just one out of the many families that left their trash out. Some did the right thing and brought it inside however this family in particular failed to even care.

Farmville
Farmville is a game that can be played on Facebook. You can send gifts to friends, plant and harvest crops, and take care of animals. Throughout the game, you earn experience from planting crops and decorating your farm. When you meet specific requirements, such as having 250 decorations, you get a ribbon. This ribbon usually rewards you with a gift, money, and experience. They start out as yellow and then go from there to white, red, and then blue. With each ribbon you get better rewards however the requirements get harder.
Although this sounds boring, it's actually quite fun. If you went up to a random kid that goes to your school and ask them about Farmville, they'll say something along the lines of "Hey! I play that game!". This could be a new friend. (And a neighbor for your farm to get towards that popularity blue ribbon!)
The game runs on real time. Meaning, you plant a crop and come back in anywhere from 4 hours to 3 days to harvest them. Some crops net more profit than others.
In the end, this game can potentially teach some good lessons. Money management is just one of the many possible lessons.
