The F Word

I brought up the F word with my mum today. Food. All I was saying was I was running out of food and would need more soon. She told me to go buy some and I told her that I would just wait until I go home in two weeks. This made her start questioning me about my eating habits. I know I stopped eating for a good three months once, but that was a few years ago! I eat now on a daily basis. Sure sometimes I skip a meal here or there, but I still am eating. If anything she should be happy that I'm eating. I was told that once I got in college I would probably go anorexic, but I AM NOT ANOREXIC. I eat food okay, so get off my back.

Mood Killers

Lalala I have been at college for oh four weeks now. I've been doing great. I only get depressed for short periods of time and I only had one week where I just wanted to go home and get my meds. I'm glad I didn't bring my meds here. I don't want to have to depend on them forever. Sure I have lovely anxiety attacks every once in a while (like every time I go to lunch), but that is okay with me. I can deal with anxiety attacks as long as they aren't making me super sick like last time. I learned on my own how to deal with my anxiety attacks, I think I can handle being without my meds while I'm here.
But anyhoo, my mood is going down hill right now. It really sucks. There are two people just sitting around me doing homework right now and I'm just sitting here with nothing to do because I am bored of working on my homework. I just want to walk somewhere and be alone but at the same time I don't really have anywhere to go. That's the problem with being here in a new place. I don't actually feel safe at night here. Like in Lisbon I somewhat felt safe. I knew people around me. But here I'm basically a foreigner in a vast wooded dangerous area. I don't have a safe spot here. In Lisbon my safe spot was always the park. I knew that no matter what happened at home I would have somewhere to go if I needed to leave, but here I'm lost. I don't have my safe spot to run to when I need to get away. I just have my room which isn't a safe spot for me. So yeah my mood goes down hill and I don't know how much longer it will last like this. It's depressing really, which is funny because that's where my mood is headed. I feel bipolar sometimes but I can't be because my mood changes too quickly for that. Mood Killers in the house.

Word Court Thoughts

I was doing extra credit for a class by reading word court articles and they were all really interesting. If you ever get a chance you should check out the links that I have posted. Under each link is all my comments to the articles that are from that link. I only kept the comments partially serious because I was turning it in. I was thinking a whole lot of sarcastic things though.

Word Court Articles

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-09-03

For Pete’s Sake

          Well I never knew why people say “For the love of Pete” so that was interesting. I also did not realize that there was an Oxford Dictionary for Slang. Guess slang is more official than I had thought it was.

a or an MPA
         
          I learned that even if a word starts with a consonant, if it sounds like a vowel if still uses “an” instead of “a”. Oh and I think it is really extreme for a fistfight to break out over proper grammar.

Myself

          I now know how to use “myself” correctly. That meaning I would use myself if I refered to myself twice in the same sentence. Which brings a question to my mind, would you use myself if you were to refer to yourself in the same sentence more than twice?

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-09-10

Lay and lie

I think that Barbara makes a good point in saying that the “everybody does it” excuse is a pretty good excuse when it comes to language. Though if we did not go by that reasoning, we might still be speaking more sophisticated than all the slang and text lingo that we use now. Also I hadn’t known the difference between lay and lie.

Rest bit?

          Minuscule definitely does look strange. I never would have known it was supposed to be spelled that way instead of miniscule if I had not read this article. Also this friend that Mara Filo was emailing must have been from the 1980s.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-09-17

RSVP

          I would say someone needs to come up with a way to say RSVP in English instead of French so that people don’t say “please respond please” or people could just not take it as curt.

Comma before Inc.
         
          Well my first thought did not exactly have anything to do with the article. My thought was that if Monsters Inc. were to drop the Inc. they would just be Monster.Anyway, I agree with Barbara, why is there a comma between the Business’s name and Inc. Don’t those two things go together?

Sneaked or snuck
         
          I personally don’t think that sneaked sounds right.

Unlike no other

          We use double negatives in Spanish. I don’t think that we use double negatives as often in English, at least I was taught not to do that, but I think that people still use double negatives for some reason. Probably because they think it makes them sounds cooler if they use double negatives while everyone else doesn’t.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-09-24

What to call married men

          Well first of all, I thought that the whole gay marriage movement had just started recently, maybe that’s just because I pay more attention to the world now but I think that if this movement has been going on since before 2003 I would have noticed sooner than a couple years ago. I do like that Barbara wants to know what the difference between a civil union and marriage is, because I would like to know the difference myself.

Sights or sites

          I did not realize that people did not know the difference between sights and sites.I thought it was pretty self explanatory.  Also why would anyone say “historical sights” that just does not  look correct at all.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-10-01

Different than or different from

          So when a word result is awkward, change it to something less awkward sounding.  Does that work for more than just different than and different from?

Dilatate

          First of all, I did not know  that dilatate was a word.  And I don’t think that using longer words when there is a perfectly fine word that most people know. Plain English is better than trying to completely confuse people.

Plural e-mails

          Considering e-mail means electronic mail, e-mail message is redundant.  As long as a word is in the dictionary, then it perfectly acceptable to use the word. Also I care whether e-mail is hypenated. That would be like not write nonetheless all together, to me at least.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-10-08

Whence bulldozers?

Now this article is interesting. I could’ve guessed the bull part, since bulldozers are not something to mess with, just like bulls. Never would I have guessed that the dozer part came from medicine though.

Alot and alright

Alot is not a word. Also, Barbara just told me how to find “alot” in newspapers.I learned how to properly use awhile from this article, and why google spell check only likes awhile sometimes.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-10-15

Two pair or two pairs

          Two pair just sounds funny.

Adjectives after nouns

          There are different names for adjectives. I did not realize that there were postpositive adjectives, and those are adjectives that modify pronouns.

Entitle or title

          First of all, I found someone that wrote in from Mount Vernon.  Going into what the article says though, I just learned that I can use title or entitle interchangeably.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-10-22

Over or more than

          I have never heard someone use the word decried before. That word is going into my vocabulary! Of course language authorities have different opinions, they are human.  I like that someone just went and banned the use of “over” and “above” though. That is pretty awesome.

Classical or classic

          So I sort of knew this already, but I have always used the words interchangeably anyway just because  both of those words can be used for music and they both mean timeless music to me.

Issues or problems

          I also use issues and problems interchangeably., but I guess that is not accurate according to Barbara.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-11-19

Oriental vs. Asian

          According to Barbara, people from Asia could be offended if they heard that Lisbon has an Oriental restaurant. Also , I’m not sure that Lisbon should have an Oriental restaurant now, unless they are serving old recipes, because it is a new restaurant and certainly not dated.

http://www.wordcourt.com/archives.php?show=2003-10-29

Die or pass away

          I use these words interchangeably, which is making me start to realize I use a lot of words interchangeably when Barbara does not want me to do so. People give me strange looks when I say someone died. I don’t think die is a harsh word at all, pass away just seems to be trying to avoid facing reality.

          

My Letter to the Editor


We had to write a letter to the editor like we were women back during the suffrage movement. I somehow managed to get full points for this letter when I think it is crap, but hey getting full credit for crap is great right? :)

To whom it may concern:
As citizens of the United States of America, women should be given the right to vote.  They should have as much authority over the laws that they are forced to live by as the men of the community do.  Women are not going to harm anything if they are given the right to vote.  The world is changing now as it is anyway.  Women do not stay in the home all the time now.  They have jobs outside of the home, such as many women are now teachers.  Teachers should be given the opportunity to vote on laws that will surely affect the way that they are allowed to teach the children of the society. Women are in closer touch to the school system than men are, because it is the women’s job to make sure that the student is getting their work done.  While women are involved so much in the teachings of their children, they still have time to get all the chores around the house done for the day.  This just proves that women are good at multitasking and would be able to easily vote without interrupting their daily life.  If women were given the right to vote, it would not hinder them in any way to get their work done on time.  Voting only takes a few seconds to do, which means women can do that on their way to and from the market.  They would not be leaving their responsibilities at home to vote, but rather they do it quickly in a moment of spare time.   

My Statistics Paper


Yes. No. Maybe.
Casinos Raise Controversy

In today’s world, gambling generates $40 billion dollars a year in the United States. In fact it generates more revenue than cruise ships, recorded music, theme parks, spectator sports, and movies when they are combined. Now these statistics came from back in 1996, so think about how much money the growing gambling industry must make now (Facts About Las Vegas). With all of this money that gambling is generating, it only makes sense that Linn County wants to get its very own casino. A Casino in Linn County, Iowa would be very beneficial to the county’s economy.
Some people believe that gambling is evil. The movie “21” proves exactly that. When Ben Campbell, the main character, stops counting and starts to gamble during a game, everything goes downhill for him. His professor, Micky, takes all of the money that Ben was saving to go to Harvard Medical School because Ben loses all the money he had bet. If that wasn’t enough to prove that gambling is evil, Ben gets caught by the security chief, Cole Williams. He beats Ben up until Ben agrees to get Micky to come to the casino with him for one last round of blackjack. Well Cole Williams gets the chance to beat up Micky in the end so it worked in his favor (Luketic). Gambling is evil though because people do bad things when gambling is around. People get beat up, casinos get cheated out of money, and people steal money from others.
Nevertheless, the people that believe gambling is evil are wrong. If Linn County were to get a casino, there would be jobs made for people. The casino is supposed to provide over 600 new jobs. Only 362 of these jobs are suspected to be permanent at the casino itself, but that is a fair amount of jobs. Plus local businesses will have to hire more people because of the many customers and tourists that are speculated on visiting Linn County (Vote Yes Linn County Website). There is also the construction workers that will have to be hired in order to build the casino. Those are jobs people. No building can be built without construction workers. It is not like the private investors are going to build the casino with their own two hands. Even if the casino does not get that many employees and even if the local businesses don’t all go out and hire new people, there will still be a large amount of new workers. Casinos are big and need a large employee base. The “Say No Linn County” group may think that the “Say Yes Linn County” group is fudging the numbers, but jobs are going to end up existing from the casino anyway that someone would look at it (Dorman). This will help make the unemployment rate go down in Linn County and help Cedar Rapids, the suggested location of the casino, to recover from the 2008 flood.
People are not going to be beaten up at a casino in Iowa. Not one of the groups for or against the Linn County Casino seems to be worried about safety for the area around which the casino would be built. That is because casinos are safe, as long as the casino is not being used for a movie. Casinos are full of surveillance cameras and large security forces, which is another way jobs are created. If a person tried to beat someone up or get into a fight at a casino, the security guards would quickly stop that. Also, most casinos have valet parking so people are not wandering around on their own during the early hours in the morning. So people would not be attacked while they are walking to their cars (Burton).
A casino in Linn County, Iowa can help the economy by providing jobs and money for people in the county. If the 1996 statistics are anything to go by, gambling is going to bring in a lot more money than any other form of business could. Linn County needs to come up with a way to keep jobs in Linn County, so the casino is a perfect way to do that. The Iowa Racing and Gambling Commissions has the last say in the matter, but the people of Linn County get to decide if it will even go in front of the commission. So what should one say? Linn County needs the money to continue with the pleasant life that it has now. Vote Yes Linn County.

Human Trafficking Presentation

Today I went to a presentation given about human trafficking. It was terrible and I don't mean that everything I learned was just so horrible that I couldn't even imagine it happening. I mean that the presentation was given by someone who did not have the whole public speaking gig down. She could have been outshone by any high school, maybe even middle school, students. First of all she had SHEETS of paper, not note cards, but sheets of paper with the whole presentation written out word for word. Secondly she had this power point that had exactly word for word what she was reading off of her sheets of paper. I mean I was reading it before she was even done speaking it. She should have stuck with 7 words per line and 7 lines per slide if she wanted a power point. I liked the pictures that she had for her power point, except she did not describe what we were seeing. They were just pictures and she did not have nearly enough pictures. Then she was very lacking in statistics to back her up. How do I know if human trafficking is an issue if she wasn't giving us statistics? The only statistic that she gave us was that human trafficking is a $32 billion industry.
Also she did not make the presentation relevant to teenagers. Mostly she just was talking about how truckers needed to do something about the problem. We aren't truckers!
The next thing that really got to me was how sexist she was. First of all she never talked much about the guys that go into human trafficking, but instead focused on the girls. Everyone knows that girls are part of human trafficking, not everyone knows about guys. It would have been a good idea to pull guys more into the issue. She was putting down guys so much, going off stereotypes that are not even one of the main stereotypes of this day and age. She said that all guys are drunks and gamblers and that women are the ones that have to bring in the dough in order to raise their children. I was so pissed at her, because while women are very successful now with jobs, men still have jobs! I hate sexist people -.- Men have just as many rights as women, there is no need for women to suddenly think that they are better than men! WE ARE EQUALS. And I'm not even sure what this sexist comment had to do with human trafficking.
All in all I was very disappointed with this presentation that I had been looking forward to hearing. I know that human trafficking is a problem, but I was not convinced by this lady of this. This was the first time I was told how big a problem human trafficking was, but is that true? There weren't any statistics to prove her points.
She was talking about how all of us should start buying Fair Trade Certified things once a month, but hey if no one else is doing it there is no point to it. Industries obviously are not noticing that we aren't buying from them anymore because so few people are doing that. I believe that human trafficking could be made into a hot topic, but there needs to be more done in order for this to happen. More people need to become involved. Nothing is going to change with the way they are fighting it right now. I mean the truckers might start helping out, but that doesn't stop human trafficking from happening. The fight against human trafficking should try out being like the women when they are fighting for suffrage. They let everyone know about the cause and that is what needs to happen.

Celebrities

I don't believe in the concept that we must follow everything about celebrities.....the way I see it is basically people start treating celebrities as gods who must be worshiped all the time. When they screw up they are the devil, but everyone still wants to be exactly like them. They aren't gods and they aren't the devil. They are just ordinary human beings that are making a living in the media. Who cares what they do outside of whatever it is they do for a living. That is their business and not ours. Plus if we are going to keep thinking them as gods or devils, it should be pointed out that God doesn't tell us what he's doing all the time and neither does Satan (if you believe in God and the devil that is). Anyway, I don't believe in celebrities! Humans are humans so leave the poor people alone already.

Depressed

My mother somehow got it into her head that it would be a great idea to make me change rooms since I'm leaving for college soon (in about 5 months). Obviously it is the most brilliant idea she has ever come up with. Put a girl who can barely stand change must less not having room for anything at all into the smallest room in the whole entire flipping house. That sounds like it will end up perfectly. It definitely won't end up with the girl in tears unable to even think. Let's talk this out now.....

  1. This girl feels like her parents just want her gone, out of the house, not living with them anymore. They don't even care about her feelings on the matter! They just want her gone.
  2. This girl is slightly claustrophobic and can't stand small spaces 
  3. This girl is going to be sharing this room with her older sister when she comes home from college. There is not even enough room in the room for one girl much less two.
So how is this even going to work? I don't have a clue, all I know is that I now know what my family feels about me. They don't give a shit what I have to say, they just want me out of the house already. They can't wait to get rid of me. So thanks family, thanks so much for telling me how little you care about it -.- It is lovely knowing.

Incomplete Critical Review for FOTR


The Fellowship of the Ring revolves around the importance of destroying a ring even if it means splitting up the fellowship. Based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien with the screenplay written by­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ Fran Walsh and directed by Peter Jackson, a long journey begins with this discovery of the One Ring in this adventure and drama movie. Starring Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins, Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee, Orlando Bloom as Legolas, Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn, John Rhys-Davis as Gimli, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Sean Bean as Boromir, Billy Boyd as Pippin and Dominic Monaghan as Merry, they form a group  to save the world from the evils of Sauron, the evil lord who wishes to control the world. The determination of their task is shown through the artfully crafted together scenes.   The Fellowship of the Ring portrays the hardship that friends must face together.
With the start of the movie, there is a hobbit in the possession of the One Ring. This hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, has grown weak towards the seductive power of it.  Once the ring is passed onto his nephew, Frodo must leave his home and go out into the world. The beginning of Frodo’s journey is much like a child leaving home for the first time to discover the world, except with the dramatic need to save the world.  As with a child leaving home for the first time, he is not alone on his mission. People are there to support him during his journey, from Samwise Gamgee to Aragorn, they all do their part to help him with his burden of carrying the ring. Frodo’s traveling companions go through many hardships as they travel towards Sauron to destroy the ring.

First Draft of Sociology Paper On Deviance


Dear Sir or Madam:

This laptop is going to die. I hate when people don’t plug in laptops properly, or for long enough BECAUSE NOW ITS GONNA DIE. This is highly upsetting to me, because I am writing a wonderful paper, I mean obviously this is mean writing a wonderful paper. I am definitely describing who I think that these students are. I don’t know if I want to be the janitor or the principal. If I’m the janitor I’m sure that he knows more about the students than the principal does. I mean, the janitor can just go chill in the files room whenever he wants (even though it is confidential). It isn’t like anyone is going to walk in on him. The principal on the other hand, has other tasks to accomplish, like babysitting the students. He shouldn’t be in the basement at all. He’s an awful babysitter, I mean seriously detention was not well watched over. It’s entirely his fault ya know.
Okay, so John Bender is the criminal. He will never be good for anything. In fact, he’s going to become just like his father someday. I don’t even know why he bothers to show up for school anymore when he does nothing but harass everyone around him. He is a disturbance to the school environment and makes it very hard for other students to learn. John is this way because we label him. If we did not label him as worthless and a loser and a no good son of a ---- he might have turned out okay. Of course, it is not the school’s fault that he is this way. His father was the one that started with the whole labeling of him. Once he was called worthless over and over it was just a self-fulfilling prophecy waiting to happen. So it is not the school’s fault he is the way he is today. We tried to encourage him at first, and make him see our ways I SWEAR TO GOD WE DID. But now he’s just a no good loser. Maybe someday he will get a job like mine, sweeping the hall ways after students make such a big mess. Probably not though, he is a loser after all.
Oh my goodness there is only 18% left of the battery….That is 32 minutes, but I don’t trust the laptop with the timing ya know, because IT IS GOING TO DIE IN THE NEXT FEW MINUTES. I refuse to get a new laptop if it dies….there is over 10 minutes left of class though, so I will be screwed for life when it dies. I won’t have anything to do :c It will be VERY upsetting I swear it will be. Not that I really care…I mean it does not really matter if I lose this whole paper right? I just am going to rewrite it later. I also have now turned on the power saver mode….hopefully that makes the laptop last longer. This thing annoys the hell outta me though. People should be destroyed for letting the laptop’s battery get so low! DESTROYED.
I’ve decided that I am writing a paper in the perspective of the janitor, he was way cooler than the principal ya know. Though he does not get shown very often in the movie. It must have been a pretty simple casting movie. I mean there are only 7 people in the entire movie that matter. Sure they had to get people for the parents and stuff, but those people had very minor roles and did not really matter. Anywho, I am getting highly bored of writing this. Also I think it is ridiculous that they had to write an essay about who they think that they are. It really does not seem that entertaining. What if I wrote a different letter for each person!?
John Bender is a criminal because people have labeled him that his whole life. His father tells him he is worthless and no good as well as everyone else around him. So he acts exactly the way that people tell him he is. He has a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Claire Standish is a deviant because she skipped school to go shopping. This makes it obvious that she is a cultural transmission theory example. It is further proven because she copied the behavior of those around her during the detention.
Alison Reynolds had nothing to do on Saturday, so she decided to just show up at Saturday detention. She is an example of the conflict perspective because the Ruling Class has been putting her down. She does not fit in anywhere because no one wants her. She is the lowest of the low. Alison Reynolds breaks all sort of social norms. She uses her dandruff, which is just gross, to make snow on a really good picture that she drew. She was eating her fingernails, which was really loud and gross. It sounded like how my dog tends to start chewing on his toenails. Just disgusting ya know. He also was refusing to talk. I enjoyed that she made a cereal sandwich for lunch, who wouldn’t want a cereal sandwich for lunch? I mean come on, CEREAL. She is a compulsive liar AND she seems to be a kleptomaniac. She just keeps grabbing stuff that she surely does not need, like she stole Bender’s lock from his locker. It is his fault for not locking it though.
Brian Johnson was going to kill himself with a flare gun and it went off in his locker during the school day. This caused him to be placed in the Saturday detention. He has the control theory going on for him. He just conforms to everything around him and is just like “hey-o let’s blow this popsicle joint” So he just goes along with Bender and the rest of the gang when they decide to leave detention.
SPEAKING OF DETENTION, why the hell is it called the breakfast club? They don’t even eat breakfast during the movie! This is a really sore spot on me ya know <.< I HATE IT.
Andrew Clark taped a nerd’s buttocks cheeks together as a way to please his father.  He in the Strain theory because he is trying to please his father with everything that he does and he does not wish to be a disappointment.

Yours Truly,
Carl the Janitor or Principal Vernon.

First Draft of whatever type of paper I'm writing right now.


In the nonfiction novel, Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger, Bissinger was submerged into the politics, football and poverty of Odessa, Texas. The town was stuck in time. There was only one correct view point on anything. “In the early eighties, a group called Odessans for Decency had been formed. The group avowed a four-point platform stamping out abortion, pornography, and homosexuality, and establishing prayer in the schools” (Bissinger, 191). In the 1980s, Odessa did not accept anyone else’s perspectives.
Ozzy Osbourne was one cool kid ya know….I mean seriously who wouldn’t want to go to one of his concerts? I would want to go to one of his concerts! I mean I would want to go mostly because who would name someone “Ozzy” especially if their last name was Osbourne. That is like asking for someone to beat the kid up on the playground!
Okay so this paper really needs to be written, like badly but I don’t know what to write about. This is frustrating I swear to god I’m going to kill this paper….I am literally going to stab it to death, even if it means killing this laptop! I don’t even care anymore. Nothing matters anyway….this paper definitely does not matter! <.< Who gives a shit what this paper says…..it is just a bunch of crap anyway!

My town first draft of my essay.


I had to write a descriptive essay...and this is what I wrote for my essay's first draft...I should never be allowed to write first drafts XD


In the quaint town of *****, it is okay to go out and get drunk. No one will care. We aren’t like those dumb people over in --------- who think it is great to outlaw alcohol. That is after all, why ***** exists. We broke away from ---------  when they got all self-righteous and decided that alcohol was evil. My mind has now been blown because of the ruler button on Microsoft Word. Anyway, the people of ***** will always say Hello to anyone that they may meet on the street. Whether they know the person or not, it is the social norm to greet them.
Turtles, turtles, turtles, potatoes. This here is a paragraph about the dying downtown and how awesome it is with all its oldness and newness to it.
WAIT THERE’S MORE! Houses in ***** are very lovely. If you get a house there you will never want to leave. It has the small town feel to it and everything.
Then the school. The hallways are marked with their brick walls and colorful paintings. There is an obvious taste of welcoming there. If anyone were to suddenly be thrown into this school they are just accepted. No one excludes them from a group or activity. They are just expected to be able to join in right off the bat. If they didn’t want to join in though, that is okay as well. People in ***** ill try to make you feel as welcome as possible, but still act like they do on a normal day basis. In fact it is what they do on a normal day basis because that is just the way that they are! ANYWHO, people are awesome. There is always a layer of awesome going on when someone goes to *****  It all goes back to the playground. The playground is the best way to describe the way that ***** welcomes people because of the way it is. It is just awesome like that.

Insert Title Here

I have started a new story on Wattpad. I haven't a clue how to describe it right now, but you should check it out. It's called "Insert title Here" right now because I haven't figured out what I want to call it yet. But click on the link and you will come across pure awesomeness/crap :D depending on what you think of the story ^.^ There definitely is no in between lol. It also still needs a whole lot of work. It really is not that great right now.
