Slurs

So, here in America we have the sort of, not racial I guess, but the slur of calling a homosexual a “Fag”. But since in england, Fags are cigerettes, what is THEIR slur for homosexuals?

This is an example of what I think of after drinking 5 diet cokes, eating a tiny cake (the entire thing with no frosting) and watching Desperate Housewives.

Lesson is, don’t be like me. But I really am looking for the answer to this question, so if you could find it out and report back to me, that would be greatly appreciated. I’d do it myself but I’m busy and….well I’m not gonna lie, I’m just totally lazy.

Knowledge Bowl

So, I was thumbing through my middle school yearbooks just a few seconds ago, and they had a page or two for all the clubs people were in, and one of the clubs a teacher actually suggested to me and a friend of mine at the time, was something called the Knowledge Bowl. We went, it was basically, a classroom with like, 25 students, a teacher, and there were two teams, and it was basically family fued meets jeapordy. And some of the stuff that they asked, kids our age shouldn’t, or didn’t, even know. We thought it was interesting, but, and specifically me more than him, didn’t want to go back. I realize now, that it’s because those kids are NERDS. Not the like, hot geeky gamer girl type nerds or anything, but serious nerds who will grow up to be adult nerds. And my feeling on the whole thing at this point is like, if you won the knowledge bowl (because they had tournaments and everything with other schools too) and this goes for spelling bees too, it’s kind of like, if you win the knowledge bowl, or a spelling bee, it’s like, “Well congratulations, you’re a big DORK!” You’re just going to go to school the next day and have your ass kicked.

I realize that it sounds mean to those who may be in those kinds of groups, and believe me, I have nothing against nerds, I am a total nerd, I just don’t respect them in terms of, social akwardness. I’m the kind of nerd who collects comic books, and plays video games. I’m the hispter nerd, I don’t respect as much the knowledge bowl gotta get great grades nerds. Even though those type of girls are who I’m most attracted to. I have weird tastes in women sometimes, I’m aware. You have to be able to learn social skills, and if this is the case, being in a knowledge bowl, yeah, you’ll learn social skills, but they’ll be ones that are from people who have WORSE social skills than YOU even may.

Sorry about the long entry, I just felt this had to be said.

More Irony

In a recent blog entry, I asked the question of whether or not anybody else found it interesting that Barrack Obama rhymed with Iraq Osama. I came to find out today that his last name also rhymes with BOMB, and he’s of muslim heritage. The other thing I came to find out was that his middle name is Hussein. This just became the most ironiest ironic thing in the history of ironyism.

So here we have a guy running for the President of those United States (I don’t call them THESE united states, because having that and Bush in the same sentance just seems very, uh….sacriligious to me) who’s name, ultimately is Iraq Hussein Osama, and his last name rhymes with BOMB, and he’s of muslim descent. So America is about to elect a guy who’s people we fear are going to bomb us?

Boy, America, land of the stupid, home of the dumb.
But still I’d vote for him.
Now more for the irony than anything else.

Starving For Suicide

First off, let me just mention that I find any couple of words that don’t sound naturally placed together sound like a band name. That in mind, Starving for Suicide sounds like an awesome emo/goth band. But onto the real point.

I was thinking about Dr. Kevorkian the other day, and what he did for people. Or to people. Depends on your point of view. So, as I was thinking about this, I remembered that he was arrested because not only is helping people commit suicide illegal, but so is performing the act alone. What seems funny to me is that cigerettes cause health threats as well, and only in long term, yet the government is doing more to ban something that causes long term effects more than stopping something that causes death INSTANTLY. I find that hilarious. Secondly, I was trying to think of what would be the most legal form of suicide, which is where starvation came from. Technically, you could stop eating, nobody would ever have to know, and you could slowly starve yourself to death. And that seems legal enough to me.

I just don’t see why killing yourself is illegal. If killing other people is illegal, then there wouldn’t even BE an Iraq War and Kevorkian should have just joined the damn army.

Just a thought.

Ironic?

Does anyone find it interesting that Barrack Obama’s name rhymes with Iraq Osama?

Or is it just me who thinks it’d be ironic if he got elected President?
