Being what I am, and knowing what I do, it may be prudent for me to impart some of my vast hoards of completely useless knowledge on innocent, undeserving passersby. (Passerbys? Passbyers?) I am a senior in high school, about to embark on what I hope will be the greatest adventure of my young life. This blog is inspired by one of my many late-night paranoias, which made me pull myself out of bed in the wee hours in the morning, find paper and a pencil, and inscribe "WRITE BLOG".
I guess a decent place to start my blog is to explain the name. Reason number one: Having a name like "Scholes" (pronounced 'Skolz') has given me many opportunities to want to seriously injure my classmates over the years. Some people, for the strangest reason, pronounce my name "Scholls" and feel the urge to make jokes about foot inserts, athletes foot, and the like. They always believe they are the first to come up with such a hilarious joke. Guess what? If I hear "Hey Scholes! Are you gellin?" one more time I may just go insane. Still, "Doctor Scholes" as a blog title fits my lame sense of humor quite nicely. (Notice the pun, please.)
Reason number two: Late 2006, right after seeing the "Eragon" movie (If there is a slight chance you havent seen it, please don't. Movies based on books, in nearly every case, just don't live up to expectations) was the first time I was assailed by someone I have never met to help them with something I have no experience with. Dating. Since then I have become the go to guy for teenage girl dating advice. Girls I have never met before hunt me down to ask what to do about their breakup, or about the cute guy in their chem class that almost distracted them to the point of setting themselves on fire. Always, afterward, they tell me how much like a brother or father figure they see me as. Once I was discribed as a "gay best friend who just happened to be straight". Thus, Doctor Scholes often takes the role of Doctor Phil.
Reason number three: Being an avid Doctor Who fan, I really wanted an excuse to refer to myself as "the Doctor". If you have not yet seen the show, please do. I would love to have a sonic screwdriver. Just shows you what kind of mind I have.

Anywho, that's me in a nutshell. Strange how such a small thing as a name can tell you so much about a person, huh? Stay tuned for more rants at a later time.
