Joey: Get a Mac
I don't care much about Macs. I don't have enough money for one, I think that a computer is a computer, and I don't like the black and white styles - or that you have to have little fingers to use them. I'm not opposed, but I much rather love my orange Dell Studio 17. Big screen for movies and shows, big keys so I can type fast, and well it suits my personality much better. I'm not into being serious about videos or photos or art - not that I don't love those things. But let's just say I'm more technical, and I'm more into things that are adaptable enough to except my computer illiteracy and my need for technical software, like Matlab. So I think I'm happy with what I have. Thanks.
Gossiping:
So I recently walked into my kitchen when a bunch of girls were over watching Buffy with my roommate Casey. Now if you have the common stereotype of girls, you think that when they get together, they gossip. I'd argue with that, but in this case the stereotype rings true. They happen to stumble upon the topic of a friend of mine and began to proclaim their hate for her. Well, this comment goes out to those girls. Please don't talk about someone that you barely know. It's not very nice or fair. And I'm going to defend my friend, honestly. Also, btw, I told her. Not your names, but some of the things you said. You never know the consequences of what you say. For the record - she's never said one untrue judgmental thing about any of you, or anyone for that matter. She has done some not-so-great things, but people can change. I stand behind her. That's more than I can say for the actions of any of you at that moment. I don't care if you agree with me, but that's how I feel.
Alcohol:
Since I don't just want to rant and complain with this project, I need some help. How do you all feel about alcohol. Drinking it, not drinking it, underage people drinking it, unresponsible people drinking it? You can post anonymously. I want to know. I need to know. I'm trying to figure it out. I grew up with a mother staunchly against alcohol and a father with the opposite view. So what do you think?
Sincerely,
Sarah

I used to rant and complain on facebook. It generated some pretty good stuff. Now I just copy and paste lyrics to see if people know the artists who wrote them, lol.
ReplyDeleteAlcohol is okay with me, it's not a big deal. People drink it, and in many countries they are much more responsible with it and have a much lower drinking age. I think as long as you're not being overly obnoxious about it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, gossping blows. But everybody does it. Oh well.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm alcohol
ReplyDeleteAlcohol - well, I drink it occasionally, but what's the point really? In most forms it tastes bad, it's not good for your health, and if you need it to let go, then you really shouldn't be drinking it. Too much emphasis and not enough substance.
ReplyDeleteBut, COFFEE! Now there's something. Powerful stuff; not for amatuers. The aroma, the taste, ahhhhh. Use it responsibly!
Anonymous 4 - I believe that we'd get along quite well. Although, if you noted the picture of the day you would have seen that too. In fact, I had coffee with an old friend today, maybe not an old friend by the-time-I've-known-him standards, but important none-the-less. Do I know you? Seems to me that most of my friends very much dislike coffee...

ReplyDeletethere is too much emphasis placed on alcohol. at least for people our age. it's illegal. therefore it's cool. other countries are disgusted by our abuse of alcohol. countries where they dont have a drinking age and dont need one. there may be a corolation there
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I don't think that much good can come from it. I don't have a problem with people who responsibly drink and who are of age, but I don't think that people should drink until they are old enough to understand the consequences - I've seen too many people try to drown out their own emotional problems by drinking them away. It's not right.

ReplyDeleteI know. I figured it out. Your son's birthday is coming up isn't it?
ReplyDelete(And you are really the only other person that I know that truly appreciates coffee. :-) )
Si, el cumpleanos es manana.
ReplyDeleteHey, I like coffee too. But only with cake, ze sweetness, it balances. And of course there is tea. I have a case of beer in my fridge which still lies untouched after a year, while with tea I have about a pot a day
