What a cool day!
What a cool day!
So yesterday was busy… so I’ll just start.
Yesterday morning I had to get up, and get to my philosophy class. We were taking our final. I had just stayed up late Friday night working on a paper. See my teacher gave us our exam questions early, so we could start researching them. We had to write a paper on a specific article on abortion, privacy, pornography, or the death penalty. I wrote about the death penalty. And then my teacher selected the abortion and pornography questions for the exam. Good thing I read the other articles.
See, the lady who wrote the abortion article, was supporting abortion. And I don’t like abortion. So I had to explain the strengths and weaknesses. So to give my point of view, I wrote my essay in a different way. I put a note at the beginning saying watch out for the comments in the [] and if these bug you, then I apologize. So then I started. The first part of my paper says: (I might not get this exactly right… but its close)
Margaret Little, in her article, “The moral permissibility or abortion” says that Abortion is permissible [duh, hence the name of the title], that its decent, and honorable. [what is she smoking]. Her reasons to support her claim are
· That embryos and fetuses have potential life [they have life, just in a different form]
· The Mother created the embryo in the first place [she shouldn’t have had sex then]
· There is a dependence on the mother, that the mother can take away. [oh give me a break]
· There was one more, but I don’t remember.
So then I started in on my paper. I discussed the reasons for the potential life subject that Margaret used, except… I started in my how-weak/strong-is-her-argument-analysis-paragraph-after-her-claim saying “that potential life is an egg before joining with a sperm. [and we don’t have a problem killing that, we do it every month… J ] And so on and so forth. I had a lot of fun writing it.
So when I got home, I had to get ready because I was going on my first date. My date was going to be late, but that was okay. So I got picked up in a 12 seater with the car just about full. And we started driving up provo canyon. Well, the people in the back were so hyper, especially janessa. They were playing corners all the way up,. (where when you turn a corner, you try and squash each other) well, we got to a tunnel in the road, and I said, by the time we emerge from the tunnel, you have to completely have changed seats.. and they did it. They scrambled over each other and actually changed places.
So we get up to the cabin (actually it’s more like a second house.. my date was so rich, but not that it matters) and get out of the car and go in. We played catch phrase twice, and then started playing the sign game. Now this was a fun game. Everyone makes up a sign, one that is unique to them.. for example, mine was stroking my chin, and someone else’s was touching they’re foot, or twirling their hair, or pulling their ear. Well you have one person in the middle, and they’re trying to catch the sign. So they will close their eyes, and count to ten, while we started passing the sign. So if I started, I would have stroked my chin, and then did the sign for pulling their ear, which was janessa. Janessa would pull her ear, (to show that she accepted it, ) and then do a different sign. And this would go on, so when the person in the middle had their back turned to you, you could accept a sign, if someone called your sign, and pass it, but you had to do it so that the person couldn’t figure out that you were the one with the sign. It was so much fun. Daniel came in the middle of that game.
Then we played a couple more games, and a couple of the guys made lunch for us. It was grilled cheese sandwiches and different kinds of soup. Then we made gingerbread houses. My date and I couldn’t figure out what to make for ours, so we made the city of jerico. Another group made a tree house, and it looked awesome, but before they could finish it, they ended up in a frosting fight, and even included 2 other innocent bystanders. So after we got several pictures of every body, we started home. Well, janessa and her date came home with Daniel and I in Daniel’s truck. And they were worried that their treehouse would break while turning all those turns. Finally janessa, jokingly, said oh, why don’t we just chuck it out the window. And steve, thinking she was serious, actually did it. There was a pile of gingerbread on the ground. 5 minutes later, janessa’s like, “Stop, we need to bury it” well, we got home, and I changed, and then waited for them to pick us back up.
We went over to paul’s house, and took our own pictures, and posed infront of the fire, and Christmas trees and such. Some of the pictures are really cute, and I’ll post some when I get them. Then we went to dinner at Blake’s grandparents house, they had set up special tables, and we ate panda express. Then we went to the dance for the last 45-1 hour of the dance, and then we went to dallin’s house and had hot chocolate and krispe crèmes, but we had a Chinese firedrill on the way,.. just for fun, at a green light too.
Janessa was asked in a really cool way. She went to advisory, and she was late, and her teacher was all, YOU're LATE... WHY ARE YOU LATE? Janessa's like, I'm always late... and she goes to sit down. well 5 minutes later, 3 guys with trumpets come in playing a fanfare and then someone else comes in and says hear ye hear ye people of miss Kummer's advisory class. Someone is going to be asked to senior ball. But we don't know who it is. But we have her shoe. and then someone else brought in a velvet pillow with a shoe on it. The other guy's like "Does anyone recognize this shoe" and janessa raised her hand, because it was hers. and they made her try it on, and the name was in the shoe. It was really cool.
So, someone's actually on line now, so I'll talk later... bye
