Created at one hour before Easter Sunday.

I've always naturally avoided the thought of "keeping a blog" or being "part of the blogosphere", whatever that means. However, recently I've started reading some of the "Blogs of Note" and found it fascinating how much more exciting and interesting a story becomes when it has a personal value to the storyteller, much like how a funny story that your friend tells you is more enjoyable than a joke some stand-up comedian made on TV. Anyway, this has inspired me to create my own, despite the fact that it will probably go unnoticed by anyone important.

I suppose I should at some point introduce myself; my name is Sam(uel) and am in the ninth grade at a public high school in the Notre-Dame-De-Grace neighbourhood in Montreal, Quebec. I've lived here since my birth, fourteen years ago, and I haven't really had a problem with the city in general (except for the weather, but i suppose every city has its own weather problems). I have a seven-year-old sister named Ann, who I will most likely refer to frequently in future posts. I have a happily together set of parents who aren't exactly overprotective, but definitely do lay down some ridiculous rules, that I generally follow if I can.

If at this point you're thinking I'm probably some sort of dork judging by my writing style, you're not exactly wrong, but I wouldn't sum up my personality as just dorky. I have an active social life, and though I don't go to many parties, i like people and people like me. I'm very close to average when it comes to school marks, even in English. I think this is because I'm just not motivated when it comes to school work; I just think of school as something mandatory to get through during the day, and if teachers happen to give me essays or long pieces of homework, I can never seem to get around to actually doing something about school when I'm not in school. Speaking of which, I have a project overdue for Science class that involves recording what I eat for three days. I will not do it.

If you're reading this, keep looking back, I'll have another post as late as Monday afternoon.

Thanks.
