Social Coma
Well, I'm not even sure if anybody reads this blog anymore since my cohorts and I have been so asinine and all. I just thought that if you did, I'd tell you I'm going to pour my creative powers into something else now, because it's better than this blog. Plus, this blogs is beginning making me cynical in real life, and it's no fun seeing ridiculousness and being asinine everywhere in real life. Maybe I'll write more when I've recovered or if I have more boring classes next semester.

Personality Type H
Cov't Personality Studies(note: not all homeschoolers are Type H and not all Type H people are homeschoolers)
Type H General- the one characteristic that ties all Type H people together is that they act as if they live are part of a different generation than their peers, usually just a past generation, but sometimes a past generation from a different dimension.

Amateur Cursing/Awkward Cussing
RantsCursing is sort of like a language unto itself. It’s not a language that makes you cool or rebellious, it’s just another way of talking, an alternative mode of communication if you will. Like any language, there are times to use it and times not to, however, this is not what I want to talk about now.
Like a language, one may become fluent in cursing if one picks it up naturally along the way, especially if it is picked up at an early age. When one is fluent in cursing, it sounds natural and doesn’t interfere with communication, provided the listener is accustomed to such speech. At times, cursing can even enhance communication, making a point hit home harder or making a joke that much funnier.

Personality Type AT (and often comorbid IVP)
Cov't Personality Studies{ATtention}
People with this personality type may be identified by their few, but strongly held, core beliefs. (Note: I did not say "said beliefs," but "core beliefs:" those beliefs that actually control one's actions). The primary belief is that if no one is paying attention to them, or at least looking at them, they will cease to exist, disappearing into a cloud of irrelevance. Most of the consequences of this belief are obvious (and annoying).
However, one slightly unexpected consequence is that those with Type AT cannot experience emotions themselves unless others around them know they are experiencing these emotions.

Em G’s Account of the Supernatural Origins of Student Development
RantsStudent Development and the Student Handbook didn’t just come out of nowhere you know. It all started when I fell through a Television set into a snowy wood. At first I was very confused and cold, but a fawn brought me to his cozy hut where I soon met the beautiful White Queen, surely an angel of light. We met for a while and she told me my destiny. In order to fulfill my destiny she commanded me to translate the foreign tongue written on two gold tablets into American English. I couldn’t read it at first, for the language was divine, but She gave me some special glasses with which to read the divine tongue.

Evil Knitting Circles Threaten Takeover!
NewsIt is a commonly held belief that young women engage in knitting in order to heighten their domestic attraction. However, you will find that knitting often leads far from the fireplace and into places you never thought a domestic past-time would take you. Knitting is in fact a gateway into a dark web and downward spiral, neither of which are easy to get out of.
“It started off as so innocent and productive, I was going to knit scarves for my entire dorm,” Shirley said at her first therapy session at the Center for Dark Knitter Rehab. Shirley began social knitting almost four years ago with a loose group of friends. She began to think something funny might be going on when their host, Nadine, showed them her “special” knitting needles. “We ask why she used sharpened, steel knitting needles, and she told us they were much more useful and she would show us how if we all got them . . . if only I’d seen clearly then!”
But she didn’t. And she didn’t think twice when they began moving target practice. “I thought the squirrels were stuffed animals on some sort of machine,” Shirley sobbed, “you never know what with all this ‘set it and forget it’ technology these days.” She finally realized she had a problem when she pinned her cat’s tail to the floor as it was about to escape out the front door.
Shirley got out in time, Caroline almost didn’t. “It wasn’t until I began to solve all my problems with my needles that I realized I had a problem.” By the time she had punctured her doctor’s lung for insinuating she might do well to loose some weight, Caroline was already a Grand Knitter in the Circle of the Dark Needle and the head of several knitting coves. When she tried to get out, she received threatening calls (“You cannot betray the dark needle! It is your destiny!”) and experienced a drive by knitting. “See this wound in my head? You can see right through it!”
