I have a question:

Since I don't have time or energy to put into a thoughtful post, I'll ask y'all:

Ron Paul.
Opinions?

:D

Golly gee, Fox News is just so professional

Let's play pick the mistake from the tabloid news site!

Oh wait.

I'm Conservative.

I'm not allowed to speak against Fox.

Shucks.

Avril is (about as) edgy (as a dull butterknife.)

Oh gawd I love her so much.

Postscript: Yes I linked US Magazine.

Get over it.

That's lyke, so heartbreaking.

"Because I am in the public eye I feel the need to be a voice of worthy and
important causes whose efforts impact the lives of every person on Earth.
These animals are being brutally and unnecessarily slaughtered – and who
are we to say to they have less of a right to exist than we do.”

A statement released by Heroes star Hayden Panettiere concerning this yes, sad situation in Japan. Sad... because of course we feel bad for the dolphins, but being the stupid humans we are, really seem to only care because they're larger, and cuter than other fish that are communities' livelihoods.

Sad... but, you know, call me heartless, I think this is sadder. And this.
And this...
and this...
and this...
and this...

Update: Yes, retards. I know Dolphins are mammals.
You're really saying they're the same as innocent women who were raped in Darfur? That is just wrong in so many ways.

I live!

Yes, I have finally gotten around to signing onto blogger... and I shall do more than the lame posts I have now, I promise! Even though my readership is somewhere around 4, including my grandparents ;).
So yes... I live!

My interview with Nahoul

Recently I sat down to talk with Nahoul, the star of the cheerful show on Hamas TV.
Here is a rough transcript.


Me: "Nahoul, it's nice of you to come over."

Nahoul: Rebekah sounds like a Jewess name! Are you a Jew??"

Me: Eh... maybe? I might be an evil American whore now that you mention it.

Nahoul: *lunges at me* This is for Farfour!

Me: *coughs* Eh... yeah, bout that. You're getting thread in my mouth.

Nahoul: Balahawhalabaha die!!!!!!!!

Me: Stop.

Nahoul: You killed my cousin!

Me: I thought it was that fake Jewish dude ...

Nahoul: *voice gets squeakier*

Me: If you don't mind I have a question

Nahoul: *stares*

Me: Um. How can you be a cousin to a mouse? I mean I wasn't that great in science...
I thought y'all gave us science and all that, so...

Nahoul: Die!!!!!

Me: *sigh*

Hmmm

I don't know, I find this startlingly funny.

Sen. Byrd OK with executing dogfighters.


Now, not that I don't despise dogfighting. I think it's horrible; I have dogs, come on.

But.

Oh I don't know.

There's something glaringly obvious here...

Breaking News:

John Kerry went nude along with thousands others in Mexico, he announced today.

"The Mexican people have a lot to teach War Heroes like myself," he said, adding "I just wanted to reach out to the Mexican people to show my support for them and their immigration situation.

After all, I was a War Hero."

Although there were several "Kerry spottings," news makers around the world are thankful that there were no closeups.

Hallelujah!

Finals are over! I don't know the grades I made; if I had to guess it would be either 3 A's and a B or 2 A's and 2 B's. I really hope it's the former!

I must admit, it was kind of sad walking through the empty halls, seeing the empty classrooms... oh, who am I kidding? I could jump for joy. Hehe.

Now.

I thought this article was funny.

In Unprecedented Move, Hillary Clinton Announces She Will Undergo Sex-Change Operation, Darken Own Skin

Note: The following is satirical. It is intended to be funny. I am not trying to insult anyone's race. I do not intend to use the phrase "Nappy-headed Ho's." I am a nice person.



In a shocking move that caught even astute Political observors off-guard, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D., NY) announced Friday her intention to not only undergo a sex-change operation, but permanently dye her skin to appear permnanently as an African-American.


"It's not fair!" She asserted, "I AM the spokesperson for the African-American Community! Not Obama!", She screamed, while turning red. "It's a vast Left-wing Conspiracy!"


Clinton reportedly will go somewhere in San Fransisco for the procedure, and has been consulting with Michael Jackson's doctors.

VT... part 2

A "very good friend" of mine (You know who you are...^_^ ) read my last blog post and took issue with my points in my very short post.

So I think now would be a good time to further explain what I meant in it.

Take no offense; please do not think I'm trying to be political about something like this, cause that would just suck.

Honor the victims...

As unbelievable as it may sound, I have run across forums with people alternately expressing sympathy for the "troubled" shooter, and then blaming the victims for what? - I don't know. But it's disgusting, and I frankly don't even want to try to understand such a mindset.

Honoring the victims means *not* bringing up the war on terror and saying "people are dying in Iraq and I'm supposed to feel sorry for 30 people?!" (As I've also seen on forums...)

It also means refraining from the irrestistible urge of voeyerism.
I mean really. Just imagine it happened to YOUR child, your sister, your wife or husband.
And a media outlet just happens to feel the need to run pictures of a dying student.
Would YOU like to turn on the TV and see your daughter/ son the way you'd least like to remember them? I wouldn't.
That doesn't mean shying away from showing the true evil of it all. Show the vigils. Show the empty classrooms. Show the evacuations. Gosh, even show the blood.

But for the sake of decency, give the dead (and their families!) some respect.

....Forget about the shooter.
Was it really neccessary - as my local paper did? - to show huge, full paper spreads of EXACTLY what Cho wanted?
Such pure sensationalism does nothing except bring torment to those who had to see him as he killed, and in a sense, honor the killer.

....But don't turn on his family.
I understand, in a time like this, it's easy to try to lay blame. And there is a point where placing blame is necessary.

How many of you have siblings? Or children? I know to lose my brother would be torture enough, but to have to accept that he was evil enough to kill so many? It's incomprehinsible.
The family has done nothing.
Everyone wants to see the best in their relatives, and really, how many people would think someone they love is capable of this?
Hindsight is 20/20. Do you think they haven't already gone over in their heads over and over what they could have done?
Don't make it worse by placing ignorant blame on those who did nothing.

Be thankful for what you have and stand up for your rights.

Already, some are using this tragedy as an excuse to try to take away 2nd Amendment rights. Don't stand by idly and do nothing! Stand up for your rights.

We will never understand why it happened, what caused it, and what it was like. Don't try to explain what it was like if you weren't there. Don't try to simplify the causes because it wasn't you. And don't try to explain what you don't know.

God Bless VT.

Virginia Tech...

Honor the victims... don't be voeyers. Stop showing dead/dying students.

Forget about the shooter - but don't turn on his family. Imagine not only losing a loved one, but having to realize they were responsible for so much evil.

Be thankful for what you have.

Stand up for your rights.

Accept you will never understand. We will never understand. Just pray.

God Bless VT.

President Bush announces he's hiring Malakar as press secretary

In a move some assert was a desperate attempt to garner the support of the Nation's youth, President Bush announced yesterday his intention to hire ousted American Idol Sanjaya Malakar as new Press Secretary, replacing Tony Snow.

"Think about it logicallably," he was quoted as saying, "This office needs new blood, and a way to fire up the constituents, and Sanjaya is the one to bring this about. Since most Americans seem to care so much about him, his presence will be a welcome change from dull news about the war on terror, Darfur, Poverty, and Crime."

Although White House press corps initially expressed dismay, sources say Helen Thomas was an ardent Fanjaya.

I live!`

Hello all you blogger people. I'm still alive, yes. I sure need to update my blog more often.

I don't have much to write about, really.

I did find something my history professor said yesterday very, very funny, though perhaps it's just me.

He was talking about how the trade embargo with Cuba is bad (though he didn't say bad, or wrong, because he's averse to such terms...)

And how an American **rafting** team wasn't allowed to go to Cuba.

Tell me if you find that as funny as I did ;)

Absolutely unbelievable

Saudi Kidnap, Rape Victim Sentenced To 90 Lashes For "Crime" Of Being Alone With Unrelated Man

A 19-year-old Saudi woman who was kidnapped, beaten and gang raped by seven men who then took photos of their victim and threatened to kill her, was sentenced under the country's Islamic-based law to 90 lashes for the "crime" of being alone with a man not related to her.

This is just more proof (as if we needed it) that Extreme Islam is an unacceptable system stuck in the dark ages. Why, why, do Liberals,who consider someone at Harvard suggesting that there are Gender differences a horrid crime, take up for this kind of system? Why is Bush all cozy with the Saudi Royal family when this kind of stuff happens all the time and the Royal family doesn't show any indication of trying to change it? Why does America not see what's right in front of them?

And why in the living heck is Captain America's death front page news instead of this?!

Excel and other lovely things

Okay I haven't abandoned this blog, too. I've just been super busy. Why? Excel. Who knows how to work Excel? Well if you don't, just don't learn. I promise, you will do much better in life if you get your nerdy nephew or somebody to work Excel for you.

NINE printouts. Nine. GAH, and everything must be perfect because although Mr. Wright may be a nice guy, he counts off for misplaced paper clips, practically. (OK, he doesn't really care about paper clips, but you get the idea.)

Sooo... I'm sitting here looking out my window at the morning mist ... oh wait, that's not mist, it's rain. Grrrrr. My dog is looking too, but I think she's looking for birds.

And oh yes, I have a history test and essay due. Why I am sitting here writing this when last night at around eleven I discoved an almost-undreadable page about the Phillipines or something marked Vital!!, I have no idea.

Oh well, guess it's time for me to stop jabbering and finish my oddly chocolate-tinged coffee. I know you're bored already. So ttyl and wish me luck on the Excel. Please.

♥

=\

That's what I get for picking an early favorite =\

Down with El Che!

Oh yeah

Go Sundance!

XD♥♥

This is crap

You Are 45% Homophobic

You're definitely somewhat homophobic. You don't feel comfortable around gay people. Stop living in the 20th century - and get yourself some gay friends.

Are You Homophobic?

Oh loooord.

Yes I have gay friends, yes I'm completely against gay marriage, no I'm not very uncomfortable around gay people, no I wouldn't "stop talking to a gay relative," yes I have a Christian worldview, and maybe I like living in the 20th century. Dorks.

Gah! Frustration

I guess I will whine in this post, ok?

So we got assigned into groups for public speaking class, and how the heck do college students not give a crap about a five point activity?!?!
OK. I feel better now. Really. Being the youngest person in my group, I really don't want to be bossy, but it is coming up in 2 weeks and we haven't done anything! AAAA! Wish me luck on, I need it :)

Oh, and on to another frustration, since I'm in that sort of mood. :) Our Algebra teacher is evil. Yes very evil.
=)

€ommunism and other junk

Before I start this post, I should preface with the fact that my history teacher, "Dr. Clark" is arguably the most awesome teacher I have had yet and I'm not whining.

Now. Last week I got into my very first argument with a teacher! Yes, I know it's hard to believe I held out that long, but like I said, Dr. Clark is cool, and seems to want us to do well in his class, and he helps us with anything we ask for, and he's very approachable, and seems to be impressed that I'm homeschoooled, so I could ignore daily liberal lectures, right?

Yes.
I could.

Until he started talking about Karl Marx.

Now, it could be argued that my strong feelings about Communism come from the fact that my boyfriend is Cuban but! Mary Ann, that is not true. =) I have always gotten more fired up about THAT single issue than any other.

So anyway, we were doing vocabulary for the test early - checking to see if our answers were right so we could score well on the test- like I said, he's awesome.

We were divided up into groups, and one group read their definition of Karl Marx.

"Social activist and father of Communism, he helped imlement social changes that brought justice to workers."

Next was our groups' turn. Before reading my definition for, I think, the Interstate Commerce Act or something, I coughed rather loudly and said "Well, my definition of Marxism was quite different."

Dr. Clark asked, Well, what was yours?

I read "Hard to measure the impact of one whose ideas carried-out were responsible for the death of hundreds of millions, and drove scores of nations into economic ruin."

After snickering and assuring me "It wasn't all Karl, it was corruption of Soviet Russia-"
"-and Cuba" I added helpfully, he said to write it again, focusing more on the idea and the positive changes in the US, than what I had.
I scribbled that Marxism was,

"A simplistic view of a utopian workers' paradise. Although some positive ideas were implemented in the US, reality proved it to be an inherantly flawed and violent system."

Yes. I did raise my hand and ask if he wanted to hear my new definition. Yes. I did read that to the class. It was rather fun, in a scary sort of way.

OK OK. I did end up mentioning Cuba. I couldn't help it. I mean come on...

>_>

Ay, vey I'm tired. (And yes, I'm aware I probably misspelled that.)
Well, it rained all day today, or to clarify, mostly just while we were walking to classes. My hair got real interesting let me tell you.

So yeah. I had diet coke for lunch, which was not good, considering algebra followed lunch and there are no locatable restrooms in the whole, entire math building. Yes I know, I prowled around the rooms once and almost got lost ... but anyway. That was like, way too much information. I must be sleepy.

Oh yeah, got a 97 on my history test. Yay!

A boring truth

... Maybe I should call this blog that. But no, I'm talking about what happened today. It was a pretty normal day. We had our first test in American History, and it was pretty easy, besides the fact that my handwriting majorly sucks (hey I always type!) and it took me like twice as long to write out the vocabulary part. But besides that it went well.
Our other classes also went well, though I admit I'm a little lost in Algebra - but oh well. The online helps will solve that =)
After class we got ice cream in the student center. How lucky we were that "An Inconvenient Truth" was playing at that very time! ^_^ OK ok it wasn't so bad. Especially since no one was there. Six - count 'em - people were there watching it, including the two sponsors. Hehehe.
But, now that I think of it, I guess it wasn't politics... the thought of 2 hours watching Al Gore speak is pretty scary...

My first speech...

So, I'm not going to bore you with a rundown of my whole day. I mean, lots of people go to college. ^_^ So anyway, we had our first speech today. I announced that I was a homeschooler, but no one seemed to care. =) On a lower note, I had to sit through Mr. Clark talking about Margaret Sanger and what a pioneer she was (In a dream world I would've spoken up and said "She was a pioneer for Hitler's ideas too, considering she wanted to sterilize black women and kill children if there were already too many kids in the family!" But this isn't a dream world.)
And... he is for open borders. Another thing I just sat there for.
Aaaaanyway... I don't have anything interesting or random or funny to post. Very tired...

Oh yeah. I had to carry a basketball around half the day because it was my prop for public speaking, and ppl kept thinking I played for the basketball team. Which is funny. Do I look like an athlete? I ask myself. Ah, anyway, maybe next time I'll carry a hockey stick. ^_^

♥♥

So

I really should be in bed, since I have class Thursday. :S But anyway, I have a speech coming up - my first in public speaking, it's a "self-introduction." Hmmm... Should be interesting. I just hope I don't come off as a cocky teenybopper (is that a word?) because when I'm nervous I tend to smile. Like way too much. But anyway.
Our public speaking class is very good, especially our teacher. "Miss. M", a soft-spoken black lady who I've heard was tough, witchy, and high strung, is tough but very nice. And a good teacher.
So anyway, I'm rambling a bit. It is 11:00. I should go to bed. Darn.

Cold wind, heavy books and rambling professors

Like the title? I spent a lot of time on that, you better :P

Considering I haven't spent much time telling you about the actual school, I figured now would be a good time to rewind to my first day of semester classes. Or more accurately, my first day in class, ever. No pressure, eh?

Well, nervousness was a flattering term for the way my stomach felt pulling into the parking lot that first day. Naturally, we had overestimated and got there 30 minutes early. (Yes, we. I'll tell you about my twin sister later.)

Knees were knocking, hands were shaking, hearts were pounding... I'm sure we looked quite interesting to the other students as they ambled to class.

We walked in - after nearly not finding our room number, of course - to a stark white room filled with about thirty desks, five or so early arrivals, and a bald, older professor. Dr. Clark (of course that's not his real name, I'm not a total idiot ^^) was pacing in front and chatting with students while writing the agenda for the class.

We were a bit mistaken, however, in that we innocent, unjaded, wide-eyed homeschoolers had actually expected to learn American History, not "whatever Dr. Clark has in mind, forget the agenda."

Alas, his bumper stickers posted on the wall and in-class comments soon proved him to be one of those dreaded "liberal professors", though he wasn't nearly as fearsome as expected.
I mean, you didn't really have to listen anyway, and he was a rather nice old chap, notwithstanding the "we are in Iraq for oil" offhand comment he made. Oh well.

By the end of that class, the butterflies had calmed down considerably, and more pressing matters became how to pay attention and more importantly, stay awake.

I know I'm getting boring, so I'll stop writing now. Perhaps an abridged version of the next classes is coming up next. =)

My thesis statement

OK, I am almost finished with my speech (My first ever in my public speaking class :S), so I have a few minutes to tell you about myself and my blog.

So, to start with, I'm homeschooled. Have been my whole life.
Two weeks ago I started dual-enrolling at my local Junior College.

I don't know what makes me think you, the strangers of internet lala land, want to read about my life but heck, might as well waste some time.

So - *cue crescendo music* - in this blog, I will tell you about me and my impression of college; from the viewpoint of someone who's never been inside a classroom. Whether or not it's interesting is up to you =)

Hey

So I've just spent thirty minutes trying to set this darn thing up which leaves me no time for posting.

Seems my thesis statement will have to wait ^^ so I guess I'll just dive in.

This is my blog. Not yours. Leave gross, immature, rude or random comments; you're outta here. I know it's hard for ppl online, but at least try not to make everything you say sound like a twelve year-old boy in a locker room.

Oh yeah. And I am private because I like being private. Don't try to get personal information, I promise it's not that interesting.

Would be much appreciated. =)
