Hey everybody! Ok, so I got this crazy idea, but I loved it, and it's really fun to work with. I thought it would be awesome for Spencer to have his own little slice of the Web and get a blog! Writing this entry was very interesting, you would not even believe how insane it is to try and think like Spencer, ha! Well, anyway, enjoy!
iSpencer Entry One – My Life, This Blog, and Everyone Around Me
Hey there. My name is Spencer Shay. You have probably seen me, or at least heard of me on my little sister's webshow, iCarly. Actually, Carly's webcast is one of the reasons I'm starting this blog. The others include various amounts of spare time and boredom. But anyway, I kind of wanted to kind of get out there, too, to be recognized by the public, and the only way to do that is to start out small, with something such as this blog.
As you can see, my blog is called "iSpencer" for reasons that should be pretty obvious, but for those of you who are a little dumb, I called it that because of Carly's webshow. And no, I did not steal the idea; I asked her first. Here is how the conversation went, and I'm not kidding about this, it's exactly how it happened.
Me: Hey, I wanna start a blog.
Carly: Oh, that's cool.
Me: Yeah… I need a name for it.
Carly: Really?
Me: Yup. And I was kind of wondering something.
Carly: What were you kind of wondering?
Me: (panicky) Can I use the "i" from iCarly and call it iSpencer?!
Carly: Whatever. Sam and I are going shopping. I'll be home whenever.
Me: Ok, see you whenever. (as she walks out the door) And thanks for the name!
Yeah, I know that sounds pretty lame, but that's how things go down in my apartment. You never know what will happen next, and each day holds a surprise even wackier than that of the day before. But, hey, you get used to it, and it becomes a welcomed part of your daily life. Unless your neighbors are the Bensons.
Don't get me wrong, Freddie's an awesome kid, and I'm glad he's one of Carly's best friends. He really is great, almost dangerously intelligent, too. But I just can't stand his mother! I swear Mrs. Benson is a nut and a half, and I seriously believe that. Anyone who obsessively does things like she does with her child has something wrong with them.
I feel so sorry for Freddie, because no teenage boy should have to go through what he does. His mother forces him to do "mother-son activities" with her at least once every other day and whenever else she feels like it. Some of these activities include synchronized swimming lessons, painting mugs at Color Me Pot, and knitting sweaters. She also believes that Freddie could all of a sudden be the beginning of some sort of tick epidemic or something like that. She forces him to take tick baths, followed by an application of anti-tick lotion, and the lotion seems to be applied even when he doesn't take the baths. There are a whole bunch of other crazy things she does, too, but I won't get into that right now.
I was going to tell you all about Carly and her other best friend, Sam, but I guess you'd already know everything about them from iCarly, so there goes that idea. Well, since there's nothing I can really do with that idea, I'll have to think of something else quickly, won't I? You have no idea how many ideas for this blog are running through my mind right now, but that means you also have no idea how stupid some of them are… I've got it! I'll tell you a little bit about my art!
If you're a fan of iCarly, you probably know that I am an artist, and I enjoy art more than almost anything else. I've been into sculpting for a while now, and I have actually sold some of my works for pretty decent amounts of cash. I also made a short claymation movie, which was ruined by Sam's ex-boyfriend Jonah, whom I'm sure you remember from the first Wedgie Bounce segment on iCarly. Anyway, I might tell you more about my art as time goes on and I have more to tell you. Really all that I'm working on right now is a small sculpture of Carly, Freddie, and Sam for them to have in the iCarly studio. But that's it for right now.
Well, that's all I really have to say right now. I hope you have enjoyed the first entry in my blog and want to come back for more! I'll try to have a new entry at least once a week, but you never know how things will go, and that might not happen, but I will try!
There ya go, Spencer's first blog entry on FF! I'll take questions, comments, and suggestions into consideration for chapter two, so post that kind of stuff in your reviews, ok? I really love interacting with my readers, because it just makes the story more fun for me to write, and for all of you to read. So please review with everything you have for me, and I'll see you next time in iSpencer!
