Maybe you should try not being such a prick?

On the right day, you'd be right on with that one.

You shouldn't feel old when people call you ma'am. Or for guys, sir. I think those are terms of respect for people in general, not for respect as elders. I'm student teaching in a 6th grade geography class. And every little 11 year old girl and boy get ma'ams and sirs from me.

Nothing but a creepy smile and demented clown makeup? Ha ha.

Yeah. Someone very close to me attempted suicide last week. It was the worst. But it will certainly leave me with a lifetime of food for thought. We both have been depressed for a long time, and it's no surprise since we both work at the same job that we hate, we're both having a rough semester at the same school, etc. We were inseperable. Last week, things seemed to become unbearable, and she decided to try downing a bottle of medication. I had no idea. I had decided to go out with some friends and wash the week away with beer and liquor. We used two completely different methods of dealing with the stress.

And I realized when I saw her lying there on the hospital bed, face blackened from the charcoal they forced down her throat, against her wishes, that we all have to choose our actions so that they benefit us in the long run. Life should be valued, no matter how bad it gets.

She survived, and is now looking into therapy. And I couldn't be happier.

Eek. Y'all would hate me. Ha ha.

I tend to use it if I feel comfortable with that person, even if I just met them. If the situation seems appropriate (especially if I'm being sarcastic), I always throw one of those terms in there. Ha ha.

Yeah, I just have a spelling and grammar pet peeve. Ha ha.

Mmmhm. I believe you.

Ya know, you lose a lot of credibility in correcting other people's spelling when you suck at it yourself.. For instance, "your" vs. "you're." And I hate to nag, but I'll also add you might want to go back to 2nd grade and learn grammar, as well. =)

Yeah. I'm bored too. Woo.

I suddenly feel like an integral part of the SNL version of this game. Quoting Sean Connery doesn't do it alone. But actually playing the dumbed down version? Oh, I'll carry this experience with me everywhere. =D

I learned how to unicycle about 7 months ago. Now that I'm really good at it, I'm learning tricks and stuff.. Shoot. I've crushed the boys doing stupid things more than I'd like to count. Ha ha.

I actually like to run. Keeps me in shape. =)

Ooh, no, sorry, minus 500. The correct answer was 'what is a comma.' 'Comma.' Pick again.

Alright. Here's your clue.

'This piece of punctuation is usually found in every place, but the wrong place, such as earlier in this sentence.'

Damnit, guys. Now that's going to be stuck in my head all day. Thanks. Ha ha.

Shooooot. Whatever. I think that's how to be polite. I'm a student teacher, and I call my 11 year old students ma'ams and sirs. It's just nicer and more formal than being like, hey, you. Person.
