Writer's Block: Most inspiring teacher

2009-09-23T13:47:50Z

Who is the most inspiring teacher you ever had and why? How often do you think about what they taught you? How has it changed your life?

View 926 Answers

My most inspiring teacher, was my tenth grade health teacher. The class was mandatory, and required for graduation. And, as you may have guessed, I thought the class would be a total bust. But it was really fun. And, I'm not just saying that because I want to be a doctor. OK, maybe I am a little. Anywho. The teacher was really nice. You could tell he genuinely, really truley, cared about what happened to you. My friends' and I used to always talk to him, when something was bothering us. He would listen, and offer comfort and advice. He just inspired me. I can't say exactly how, but he just did.

Writer's Block: Significant Change

2009-05-28T19:57:18Z

Have you ever tried to change yourself for someone you were in a relationship with (or wanted to be in a relationship with)? Did it work?

View 502 Answers

Have I ever? Yes I have.

I will tell about the first time. It didn't work. Of course, that was all his fault. Need I say more?

Right now? The only thing I am trying to change is my smoking. I am trying to quit smoking. For my current relationship.

Other than that, no I have never tried. I believe that if someone TRULY - I almost put turkey, don't ask - loves you, they will NOT MAKE YOU change.

Writer's Block: Close Call

2009-05-21T12:32:36Z

Accidents happen all the time, and often we walk away miraculously uninjured. What has been your closest call with avoiding serious harm in an accident?

View 503 Answers

Oh god. You really don't want to know, do you? Well, I guess I might as well tell. It's not like I have anything better to do.

OK, so it was in March of 2008. I was at school, and I was in my book club class. All we did was read for three hours. (We only had two classes on Friday, but both were three hours)

Halfway through, we got a 10 minute break. Or was it 15 minutes? I guess it doesn't really matter.

Anywho, this chick and I went past a cork board. And we saw thumb tacs. So we each picked one that we thought was cool. We noticed one of our friends, so I put the tac in my mouth - I had nowhere else to put it!!! - and we ran towards her. And in the process of saying her name, I inhaled the tac.

Yes INHALED.

So, I'm back in class. Trying not to cough up more blood.

I start crying, mostly because I was in shock. My teacher comes up to me,. and asks what happened. I told her. So we go to the office, and they call 911.

Then they called my mom.

A few minutes later a police care, and a fire truck/ambulance arrives. And after them, came my mom.

So they asked me what happened. And they said it sounded like I just swallowed it.

When my mom and I went home, she called 'Ask A Nurse'. And the nurse said to take me in ASAP. So we go to Saint Mary's. And I'm in this room. I change into a hospital gown. And I'm lying down on a stretcher. After I get X-Rays, the doctor said it was in my right lung.

So I had to get a bronchoscopy. Very painful, but the painkillers were fun.

My favorite urban legend? I'd say it would have to be the corpse in a hotel matress. I just love it. I love how something so ordinary, can be used for something much more sinister. It's pretty cool.

Writer's Block: Confidences

2009-05-04T19:49:51Z

Who do you think it is easier to talk about your problems with: your friends, your family, or strangers?

View 501 Answers

I guess it would depend on what we would be talking about. Stuff dealing with school, I could probably talk to my Grandma about.

Strangers are pretty cool. As long as they're not creepers.

But, the person I can most trust is probably my counselor. I don't know what you would consider him. Friend? Stranger?

I guess, I consider him a friend.

He knows everything about me, and I mean everything. I have actually told him something that I am scared to tell my parents. I mean, I guess it sounds cliché. But, he is my savior. Yeah, sounds really creepy. But, I can trust him. With anything, really.

He doesn't judge me. He reassures me, when I am in the depths of despair. And maybe that's just part of his job.

But I would have to say my counselor, whom is my friend.

Out of all of your favorite books, pick just one you'd recommend everyone read. As a bonus: why did you pick that one?

View 505 Answers

Oh my God.

I'd have to say 'Night' by Elie Wiesel. No doubt. That is an amazing book! When you first read it, it's like you're reading a fiction book. Scary thing, is, it's true. Every piece of his book ('Night') is true!

I recommend it to everyone. It' just amazing. It shows how mans fear, of something new, can lead to a full out genocide. It has the essence of love, between Elie and his father.

Hate. How he feels towards God.

Just, read it!

A popular movie I absolutely DESPISE is that freakin' 'Twighlight' movie! It is so freakin' stupid. I mean seriously! Oh, I'm a vampire and I'm in love with a human! What is the god damn point?! I mean, I love vampire books. And movies. But not 'Twighlight'. I prefer Bram Stoker, and Anne Rice.

A popular book I hate. Huh, that's a hard one. I'd probably have to say, again, 'Twighlight'. C'mon, have you no taste people?! Bram Stoker! Anne Rice! ~~Stephanie Meyer~~.

A band that I dislike. All American Rejects. Their vocals are just whiny, and make no sense. Okay, your girlfriend dumped your whiny ass. So what?!

I food I hate. Burgers. Yuk! Cow flesh, on a bun?!

A TV show I dislike. Huh. Scrubs. God, that show is so fuckin' idiotic. You want real medical drama?! Mystery Diagnosis! Dr. G: Medical Examiner! Untold Stories of the ER! House, even!

Life is Beautiful - Sixx AM

You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can’t breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don’t
I’ve done things that you won’t
There’s nothing like a trailer park to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
