It's not fair.
Every week, I have to pound out grammatically correct essays with perfect sentence structure. I have to analyze the nuances of punctuation and the proper; way to use; a semi-colon.
(Oh yeah. This is Lucy. The other daughter. I'll come up with my own Cuban-sounding nickname another day.)
But my MOM gets to write about cooking and family and parties and scrapbooking and all the things that she loves.
Even AMY gets to hijack Mom's blog to write about her friends and her coffee and her family and Cuban stuff.
High school sucks.
I just feel left out.
Mom was busy with helping the other child Jonathan write a persuasive essay.
Amy was working.
Lucy had nothing to do. Lucy was supposed to be writing an essay on Career Choices.
Okay, quick note about the Career Choices thing…
As an assignment, I took a quiz which was supposed to match me with a career choice best-fitting my personality.
I checked the boxes, which included:
1) likes to travel
2) doesn't mind performing hands-on tasks
3) is good at following directions
Apparently, I would make an excellent:
1) truck driver
2) trash collector
3) Army Private.
Are you kidding me?
Totally discouraged, I found myself moping at Mom's computer, waiting for her to return and comfort me. My future was looking very bleak.
Then I had a thought:
What would it take to hijack Mom's blog?
Let me tell you, it wasn't hard.
"Mom? What's your password for Typepad?"
Buahahaha.
So here I am, happily hijacking away, complaining about my careers (I'm ONLY fifteen) and ranting about the unfairness of it all (although it's really fun).
Hmmm.
"Hey Mom? How do you put a picture in a post?"
Honestly, I don't aspire to join the Army or drive a truck.
But see?? I AM good at following directions. 😉
I wonder if Blog Hijackery is a promising career path…
(Marta here. I'm The Mother. And I approve this message. =D)

Ahhh. That’s more like it. =D

Lolita,I am so proud of you! This is a fabulous First Post of many to come I’m sure!
Adorable.
Hilarious.
Everything a good post should be.
I have trained you well Young Grasshopper.
Welcome to the Blogosphere.
Besos!
Lucy, I give you an A+Mrs. Benson
Hi Lucy!I definitely think you need to take that quiz again, none of those options suit you. But Blog Hijackery…that’s perfect!
xoxoxo
Welcome Lucy!! So glad to see you here.I agree with Amanda – take the quiz again!
Hi Amy!!! Glad to meet you through your words and not just pictures. Great personality, but we all know where you get it from. 😉 I agree, try the survey again. You are much too talented to be a truck driver. LOL!!!!! Loved the picture of you and your mom.Let me know when you start a survey for your Cuban Nickname. I would like to add Lolita to the list. 🙂
Un beso,
Outstanding! Or as the Brits would say, ‘Well done!’Welcome to the blogosphere, Lucy!
Oops…I guess before I recommend a Cuban nickname for you, I should first get your real name correct, huh?!!! My bad. I fail in the pay attention when you read category. ;-)The funny thing is that I already forgot Amy’s real name and think of her as Kikita. That means her nick name has finally taken over. Sorry for the mix up. I still like Lolita for you. 😉
At least I stayed faithful to your name by using the “L” for the first letter of your nickname. 😉 LOL!!!
Aw Lucy *wipes away tear* I’m so proud.
Hurrah!!! Another 15-year-old Cuban hating on grammar and endless tests!!! My life is complete!! xDDD
Lucy – You are such a gifted writer! Keep it up!Love,
Dad
