I'M SO BORED.
AND MY STOMACH HURTS. MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THAT LAST LATTE.
WHY DID MY TEACHERS GIVE ME SO MUCH CRAP TO DO OVER SPRING BREAK?
AND BY THE WAY, OTANI, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I FEEL VERY ILL-PREPARED FOR THE AP LANG AND COMPOSITION EXAM. UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY ASK ME TO DESIGN MY VERY OWN MEDIA CAMPAIGN. END RANT.
Oh, wait. Not end rant. Pet peeve alert -- why do people use the phrase, "No offense" or any of its slimy siblings? IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CAUSE OFFENSE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING. IF YOU DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE CAUSING OFFENSE, DON'T TRY TO PRETEND YOU DO. Too many people say "no offense" as an easy way of being abrasive -- but in moderation, so it's okay! Not. Either be a man about doling out criticism or RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN PATHETIC FEAR OF CAUSING OFFENSE!
