Riddle me this:

Scotland, Ireland, England.

Scottish, Irish . . . Engish? No. English. Does anyone else think that's stupid? The "l" comes from "land." So why not Scotlish and Irelish? Because they sound stupid, that's why. And so would English, if people were normal and said Engish.

It's not like it's hard to pronounce or anything. TRY IT. TELL ALL YR FRIENDS.

And don't give me any linguistic crap about the "ng" and "gli" sounds. It's all nonsense and I refuse to listen.

I was walking down the hallway today and someone walking behind me yelled really loudly, "[ALMEDA!] I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES." So I'm like, "er. . . *turns around*" and then I realised he was talking to someone else with the same name. And I had a witness, so it wasn't just me. V. weird experience. Names should definitely be distributed to one person only. [What were you thinking on that one, Jesus? Don't tell me you don't have the creativity to come up with 6+ billion unique names.]

Talking of wanting to have my babies, my lesbian friend said she'd do me today. 's little things like that which puff up the confidence. Too bad none of my heterosexual male friends ever say that sort of thing. [Actually, that's not true. I'm sure Sage has at least once.] I suppose it probably doesn't work as well for s, though, because I'd just be slightly freaked out. Ahh, the beauty of having a cunt.

And talking of lesbians, Senator Rick visited the school today. What a great honour, etc., etc., but sweet lord Jesus, that man is an asshole.

At first I felt slightly sorry for him because people who obviously disagreed with him were asking him questions [some more ridiculous than others: i.e., "do you think not allowing people civil rights is 'fascist'?"]. Then I just got annoyed. Mostly at him for saying stupid things [pro-life argument: it should be up to the American people, rather than the Supreme Court, to decide whether or not women can have abortions. The Supreme Court is infringing on our right to tell other people what to do with their bodies! Oh, I'm so victimised!], but also at my fellow students for asking him things.

I mean, look, we already know he's a jerk with opinions that make me so angry it hurts. If you ask him questions like, "How can you waste time trying to ban gay marriage while the assault weapons ban expires?" it just gives him the opportunity to preach his hateful word to us for way longer than I'm willing to spend listening. He's definitely not going to see the error of his ways because some high school kid disagrees. Ideally, we should all have refrained from asking any questions and sat there glaring at him in silence.

But alas, when the urge to seriously maim rises, it is admittedly difficult to sit there on your hands in silent protest. And I did enjoy the cheers of the audience on certain questions.

PS: Abbey, m'OTlove, I received an app. from Hiram today.
