Prompt: Write about the best gift you have received.

 Mr. Rease chose a good prompt. This is the greatest story ever. Last night at church was the white elephant gift exchange. I did not play because I hate white elephant exchange games. I scammed everyone a few years ago by bringing a bar of deoderant as my gift. I walked out with a 12 pack case of Dr. Pepper. However, last year I brought a decent gift and left with a 1000 piece puzzle that depicts the cast of the show Friends. Totally lame. So this year, I decided to retire and just watch. The honorable mention of the greatest gift was a game called "toilet golf" which is exactly what it sounds like. 

However an even better gift was the one that someone gave me after the game concluded. My friend (and co-host for the bingo game earlier that evening) did not want the screaming chicken toy that he got, and I immediately jumped at the opportunity.
This by far is the greatest gift I have ever received in my entire life. It is quite literally the funniest thing of all time. The chicken lives in my car. When you squeeze it, it sounds like the souls of the condemned, and it's hilarious. I love to stick the head and neck out of my car's window and make it look around at other cars at red lights. It brings me so much joy. However, now that I have told you the BEST gift ever, I have to tell you the second place runner up. The magic conch. I'm sure you remember seeing the purple conch shell I bring to school every day (the battery died so I'm replacing it) but the magic conch is basically a magic 8 ball esque thing that knows the future and tells you what's going to happen 



This conch shell right here is literally the coolest thing ever. I highly recommend getting one and you TOO can know what your future holds. The conch literally has the funniest sassy attitude ever I swear it's a sentient being because it always gives the funniest answer. 


Today I wrote the dialects of Nettie and Celie and changed between them.

I learned about the tone changes of dialect when used or not used.

Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

 Dear God, It is absolutely beyond me that Mr.__ had the effrontery to up and hide Netties letters from me. I feel really upset and angry at him. All this time I've been dearly missing Nettie so dad gum much it's killing me to be without her letters. Mr. __ knew this and decided to keep it from her anyways!!! I just cannot believe it. I knew he was bad, but this is worse than I thought. I cannot let this go unpunished. Maybe I try to fake an injury from him, and I'll tell Shug Avery on him. Then he'll be sorry. Shug Avery will beat the red devil out of him if she thinks Mr.__ has been abusing me. This choice of his to hide the letters is my TURNING point. I'm done with his idiocy. I have just about HAD it with him. Sure, I'm glad I have the letters, and I'll make the novel a ton longer and way more convoluted by including her letters in it, but I'm still super mad at Mr. __ and I must exact revenge.  Today in class we did a short quiz on the previous let...

Prompt: Tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it?

 My favorite word right now is probably "dad gum." I say it all the time because I think it's funny when it' s really not. I just kinda add it onto everything I say. You can ask Jillian about it because she frequently is on the receiving end of the word. I heard it from the popular twitch streamer "Caseoh" who always says dad gum and if he can make it funny why can't I? It's a euphemism for a different set of 2 words that means for God to condemn.  Today in class we worked on a comic strip that I thought was a very fun activity except for the vocabulary words we had to use. I learned about the different vocab words from chapter 1.

What do I know about my birth

 My dad had to cancel his order at Mcdonald's to run to the dad gum delivery room. I was a C section. I was first held by my dad. I have no idea how long my birth lasted. However, I didn't know how to eat. I would literally have died if I was a baby at any other time in history because I straight up had no idea how to eat. I was born on a Monday. My head was giant. I was born a week late, and my head was gargantuan. I could speak in sentences before I could walk because of how large my head was. I was in the 107th percentile for head size or something outrageous like that.  Today in class we read poems by William Blake I learned more than I probably wanted to about childbirth and I learned about Mr. Rease's kids' birth. Very interesting day.
