#9 - I want to be bad

Today I didn't go to school. I had a headache all day yesterday, and my dad wasn't in town to come pick me up, so I was given permission to stay home today if I didn't feel better.

I stayed home, even though I felt fine.

After a few hours of my first time playing hooky since I started high school (10th grade started a few months ago, and high school starts in 9th grade here), I came to a realization - I am not bad. I don't do many bad things. The worst thing I've ever done is pull out my own tooth when it wasn't loose, but it was still a baby tooth, and I did get it back...That was years ago.

The worst thing I've done since then was sneak out at 6 AM to go running with friends for a school club, even though my parents were pretty convinced I was sick and going to stay home. I came back around 9 AM. The door was unlocked, as I had left it, and everyone was still asleep. None of them found out. They still don't know.

I'm not saying I want to do anything seriously bad - like smoking or drinking or drugs or stealing - I just want to be more bad than I am now.

I don't know, maybe I'll secretly buy some hair bleach so I can finally use that blue hair dye I have that my parents have said no to.

Or maybe I should stand up for myself and finally buy some of those band shirts I haven't bought because I'm afraid my parents will hide them because they have skulls and stuff. They did try to hide my The Used shirt from me, since it said 'Put Me Out' (the name of a song) on it, along with a picture of a cigarette in an ashtray.

That shirt could just be telling people to stop smoking, for god's sake! It isn't, but they don't know that! I know they don't know because they don't even care who's performing if I go to a concert.

So I don't know what bad things I want to do. I just know I want to do bad things. The ones above are only bad to my parents. I need to do better than that.

I'm off to explore!

My new favorite song-

#8 - Homemade Bottlecap Badges

I decided a while ago that I would like some pins to put on, well, anything. I just wanted some pins. But the internet is expensive, so I decided to make my own.

Then I came across this video and decided to try it.

I've done one so far, mainly 'cause it took me an hour to pound the bottlecap into shape on Friday and I had family over for the rest of the weekend and didn't have that much free time.

I didn't have Mod Podge, so I just used Elmers clear glue. I was still unsure about whether or not it would work. Fortunately, it did!

>>I don't own the logo, Rise Against does<<

I plan on doing a few more, but I'm still deciding which ones to make.

Maybe I can make some more during the long weekend we have for Veterans' Day! ^_^
