9:09p - Writer's Block: My Biggest Environmental Pet Peeve

Littering, long showers, not recycling... What's your biggest pet peeve about the way some people (mis)treat our planet?

Right now, it's littering, because I just saw some people throw trash out of their car when I was behind them in the Taco Bell drive-thru. I wanted to find out where they lived, then drive over there in the middle of the night, slash their tires, and spray-paint "LITTER BUG!" on their back window. Of course, I would never actually do that, because I'm too afraid of breaking the law, but I wanted to.

Under normal circumstances, my environmental pet peeve would be that my dad steadfastly refuses to believe in global warming--he says it's BS, which I think he says just because he works at a coal-burning power plant and admitting that global warming is real would mean accepting that he is partially responsible for screwing up the planet.

9:35p - Writer's Block: It Sounds Better When You Say It

No matter what language you speak, you've probably come across words or phrases in another language that sound better than their equivalents in your native tongue. What's your favorite word or phrase in a foreign language?

I like "Je ne sais pas," (approx. pronounciation is Jeh-neh-say-pah) which is French for "I don't know." It's fun to say.

9:38p - An Addition
So, we have a new roommate. His name is B.B. King and he's a three-year-old Manchester Terrier mix. My sister-in-law had been planning on getting a cat, but we had a somewhat unpleasant argument about it, due mainly to the fact that I'm allergic to cats, and while I like cats, I wasn't comfortable living with one. Next day, she and my brother went out, and when they returned several hours later, it was with B.B. King.

It was a surprise, but I think a mostly pleasant one. I tell people I'm a "Dog Person by Default," since I'm not allergic to dogs, and as long as B.B. doesn't pee or poop on the carpet, I have no problem with him. He is very sweet, and apparently already house-trained, so hopefully things will work out.
