Court Cases?

   For my AP language arts class, my teacher ( Mrs.Marr) decided to turn us all into lawyers. We were all put into "legal teams" complete with a leader and the ability to fire anyone on your team ( if you are a leader) 
Dartmouth v.s Woodward Case
The Case that my team and I were assigned was the Dartmouth and Woodward case. A Dartmouth is going to sue Woodward for turning their insitution into a public school. ( thats just a jist of it, there is A LOT more detail to it) Since my team is only made up of 3 people ( Claudia, Lauren, and I) there has to be two people against one. I took the liberty to volenteer for the defense position. My team decided already that the defense is going to loose because they have nothing for them. That is was I took this side though, I enjoy a challenge and I personally find myself good at turning "nothing" into something. I did extensive research on my case today and I have found two points in my case, that with the right wording and logic put behind it, That I will win in our simulated court session.
I also find this all a good opportunity to have an excuse to use one of my favorite catch phrases. " You just got lawyered!" It's most commonly used in a situation where you use logic to win an argument. Since we will be "lawyers" with our cases, I can officially say my favorite catch phrase without being completely out of place. 
P.s- I challenge you to use my catch phrase sometime before December 1st ( my b-day =] ) and make a mini-post about it!                Love, Erin =] <3

Inspiration?


Today I stayed home from school, do to sickness. So I decided that I might as well put up a blog post. But what of? I  Must have sat here for at least an hour trying to think of a good post for you all to read. In this hour, I went as far as to google fun things to blog about. So here are My results. 

1. Poetry- I completely disagree. That is probably because I hate poetry though.
2. Self awareness- Ehhhh.. I guess. I am more for INTERESTING things though..
3. Emotional Spectrum- No. 
4. Life expriences- Yeah. This is a good one. 
5. Family Issues- No. keep it to yourself. No one wants to hear about your issues
6. Love- Its depends. Writing about love can be chancy. I dont want to hear all about how you are in love with someone and how perfect they are etc. But in a different aspect, it COULD be okay. 
7. Music tastes-  This is a good one too. Just alter it to fit your audience. 
8. Lists- I like this one, it's fun and easy ;)
9. Anything and Everything- To some extent, yes.

 So overall, I think what you blog about should be carefully concidered. Just rember, if all else fails, write about how you have nothing to blog about =]

I've lost faith in all mankind

So I have recently decided that I hate all men, as well as women. For the longest time I have hated the general woman, but now it is men too.  I have many reasons for hating both but I'm not going to list them because that would be a very LONG blog post.
 After I decided that I hated all mankind, it got me to thinking. If I hate men and women, who am I going to marry? If I only hated one sex, I would just switch to the other. In my position though, I hate both parties. I decided to discuss this with my friends and we came up with this idea :
Jumanjii 
Meet Jumanjii! My new life partner! He (or she, im not sure... it is a fish) is a plastic fish in a bar of soap. It is cutely crafted to look like a fish you just bought at the store. I got this in a package sent from my brother. We have decided that since I hate all animals, humans, and everything else, I will marry a plastic fish! I couldnt be happier! Love and miss ya'll! -Erin Michelle
