as if!

So what exactly are "snaps?" Well, they are good things that happen. Sort of like a word you might use to praise someone for something they did well. It's also what you do to show that you liked someone's poetry reading...but I'm not using it that way. It's from a great movie that I've probably watched at least 20 times...take a look at a clip from it:

Snap in the singular form can mean several things, none of which are related to this blog. Although I do like snap peas. It can mean something that fastens your pants together, a sound you make using two fingers, or my personal favorite: a term expressing surprise, excitement, and/or disbelief.

I almost stepped on a snake, oh, snap!!

My first time

In an attempt to entertain myself and avoid studying for class, I read celebrity gossip and stalk people's blogs. Last night I decided to create my own, mainly because I like seeing all the different designs you can choose from. That, and I can't really create my own celebrity gossip. Oh, and I actually really do like writing. But the life of a teacher who is on summer break and attending summer school classes is not all that exciting...so actually writing/typing something has been quite intimidating.

So I'll start with something that is not my own...I found this while reading someone else's blog, and I liked it! Feel free to copy and paste (although that would assume that someone is actually reading this).
