Secretly you’re so amused that nobody understands you.

Topics today: ETC and ECT, sex education and sayings that’ll make you think.

First off, ‘etc’ is the abbreviation of ‘et cetera’, which simply means ‘and so on’. All too many times I have seen people using the term ‘ect’. Why do they constantly insist on using the wrong term? Unless they happen to mean electroconvulsive therapy, in that case it’s an uncontrollable shaking in response to a shock of electricity. I highly doubt that. That’s a more scientific term you probably wouldn’t use in everyday language.

Secondly, we still haven’t had the sex education demonstrations. I want a half-banana-half-dildo-demonstration-of-using-condoms damn it! Yeah, the half banana thing I don’t get. All the other classes have done it, and it’s kind of hard to think our class is that behind. We’ve started learning about the theory, but you know and we know we want to get down to the practical. :P Our PE lessons are so funny, honestly, the teacher sounds like the one off of Mean Girls. He keeps telling us not to have sex, and he hopes we don’t until we’re 50 years old and about to retire. He appreciates people who hold out for sex until after they are married to ‘the one’. Of course noone is going to take his advice, though personally I’m not going to be thinking about starting something until I’m at least over 18. It’s true that the legal conscientual age is 16, which is way too young by the way. You’re practically still a child. And sex before or after marriage? It depends on my attitude as I age. I don’t even know if I’ll get married.

Today we had that ‘Try and Trade’ session wherein you partake in an assortment of activities in relation to possible career paths. I only had one hour, one period, and that was definitely not enough. It’s unfair that some people got to go 4 times, when it could have easily been 2 people who got to go 2 times. Duuude, spatial inequality. >_<;

Finally, onto some sayings I stumbled upon that make you think:

– Is it possible for someone to become addicted to therapy? And if so, how would you treat them?

– If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?

– Doesn’t “expecting the unexpected” make the unexpected expected?

– Do coffins have lifetime guarantees?

– Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, “I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things here and drink what comes out”?

– Can you get cornered in a round room?

– Isn’t it funny how the word ‘politics’ is made up of the words ‘poli’ meaning ‘many’ in Latin, and ‘tics’ as in ‘bloodsucking creatures’?

– Why do companies offer you “free gifts”? Since when has a gift NOT been free?

– If something “goes without saying,” why do people still say it?

– If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

– Whose cruel idea was it for the word “lisp” to have a “S” in it?

– If two wrongs don’t make a right, then how come two negatives make a positive?

– If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking, and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

– You can’t have everything, where would you put it?

– What hair color do they put on the driver’s licenses of bald men?

– What’s another word for Thesaurus?

Good night. :)
