One day in first grade I, having picked up the phrase but not understanding its meaning, repeated “darn it” repeatedly to my best friend. The maturity I felt ceased when she informed me she was offended.
This has and still consciously and unconsciously affected me. I reject vulgarity. For the euphemisms for religion, excretion, and reproduction now have only shock value; which, ipso facto of their use, they lose. Whatever power such utterances might once have had are forgotten in their ubiquity. They have become unconnected to their actual meaning: increasingly harmless interjections tossed without regard for context. To use a vulgarity is to eschew the delicious subtleties of cleverly crafted language, to choose to be defeated by mixed metaphor, to surrender to generic triteness. Not for me.
I want my first *fuck* to be memorable.
(I still consider “darn” harsher than “damn”.)

“For her self-esteem, every girl needs to know that, if she wanted to, she could get a guy like T[] H[].”
For his self-esteem, every guy needs to know that, if he wanted to, he could get a guy like T[] H[] jealous.
It wasn’t the best worst date I’ve been on, but at least it didn’t measure up to drive-through DelTaco. I do have my standards.
“I need to get a t-shirt that says "I’m not going to sleep with your boyfriend". And to get it 2 sizes too small.”

Returned to St. Louis, having learned that it is not anomalous in suffering from tea cookie deprivation; somehow these delicious yet simple treats have become endangered across the culinary world. I was only able to secure a lone tin of stale cookies over break, despite their being once plentiful in the Maryland wilds.
Even so, they were, and were attested to being, the best stale cookies you would ever eat.

“Proposition: If I could choose...”
Let swords remain in stones, and tones in words.
“By God, Excalibur, I shall be a King! This is the time of King Arthur, and we reach for the stars! This is the time of King Arthur, and violence is not strength and compassion is not weakness. We are civilized!
Resolved: We shall live through this together, Excalibur: They, you, and I! And God have mercy on us all.”

Thank you for writing to share your thoughts. I appreciate hearing from you. This issue is one about which many individuals feel strongly. I have received comments from many constituents, both in support and opposition. I am hopeful that a ruling will be made on this issue soon. I share your concern that basic moral values make up the foundation of our great nation and will continue working hard at every opportunity to see that Congress and the federal government assists- not hinders- our work toward that goal. Rest assured, I will keep your concerns in mind as Congress considers legislation affecting our nation's moral fabric.
If anyone ever makes you cry, tell me about it. If anyone ever hurts you- physically or just emotionally- tell me about it. Even if afterwards it seems silly or petty or like it was just you being foolish. Even if you don't think I'll understand. Anyone.

Played ~15 micromafia games by chat. There are 3 players: 2 townspeople, 1 mafia. They last under 2 minutes, for there is only 1 lynch: if the 2 townspeople lynch the mafia, the town wins and mafia loses; if a mafia and one townsperson lynch the other townspeople, the mafia wins and the town loses. And then new roles are sent out and a new game is begun. Sometimes roles are basic, sometimes roles are connected, sometimes random. Sometimes it comes down to skillful gambits, sometimes a lucky guess. There is no history, no night.
This is so symbolic: the reason we can’t play a game is because we might have fun.

While King Kong wasn’t that bad of a move, it felt too thin to be stretched over its 3-hour timeframe. The action and plot were entertaining, but most of the characterizations seemed incomplete and the movie seemed overall thematically lacking. I was, however, amused when watching the credits to see how Kong himself was credited.
