So I just got back from school, where I managed to avoid a fight. Probably a good thing, considering I'm sick and my hand's already busted up. Even so, it's annoying how confrontational people can be about their own mistakes.

I'll just wait until I get home. It's just...irritating. Raaaaawr. Stupid people. Grr. =P

...*rawrs at stupid people at your school, too*... =P

Cobra is very rawry today. >.>

The point is to analyze the text, but my "summary" was more of a reinterpretation - "hey look, people, there are parallels between these three covenants". I suppose it was less analytical than she likes - and she DID say that she wanted more analysis than description - but the line between the two is very, very fine, particularly in this case.

I think, at least for my peers, the fact that I write well and persuasively (I'm not tooting my own horn here, just that's always the comment I get back from them) covers up flaws in my actual treatment of the text. Which kind of leaves me stranded on things like argument v. summary.

I find that a good analysis, at least if you want it to look like one, always compares the "good" and "bad" aspects of whatever subject you're studying at the time...which is a profoundly stupid way to analyze anything, because it requires us to attribute positive and negative values to past events, when such values are merely subjective. Drawing a parallel between them seems like a better option. Though maybe you didn't include enough contrast between them? *Teachers are always looking for how things are different from one another, as well as how they are the same*.

How could you Ikari? After everything we've been through? *sobs in a corner*

Phase · 11-16-2009, 05:26 PM

Feh, lies. All lies.

In the truthfully good news department, two of my classes are cancelled tomorrow, giving me plenty of time to do homework before I get home. That means L4D2 all night, baby!

Cobra can rawr if he wants to, Nameless! But I wouldn't expect a pretty lady like you to understand that.

Bringing up old jokes? *tututut* :3
*hugs anyway*

EndlessWrath · 11-16-2009, 05:40 PM

wrath is using up the rest of his computer time to get off his computer, take a very long walk away from here and trying to calm down. At least the breath of cold air and the ability to scream till my throat dies without being asked why is available to me. Maybe I'll get hit by a car too... Not fatally of course >.> <.<

In other news...Wrath found his old Demon Kitty Toy worth 25¢ that he got for free. It was a little toy Cat about 2 inches tall. You could lift the head and it had this terrible "MEOW" and it shined a horrific Red light out of its mouth and Eyes.. I used it as my miniature for a naruto guy. No it didn't make sense. Yes it was awesome

...Besides the Goku approach, or the Shin-chan approach?

Fighting bears?

I mean, even I could do all those other things, and I barely count as a man. If you could fight a bear though...;o It would be worth extra points.

Cobra_Ikari · 11-16-2009, 06:08 PM

Sorry, Nameless. A girl at my school expressed a desire to stab someone in an untraceable manner. So you could just be axe-crazy.

Snarky Imposter Snake? Oh Noes, I found Cobra's true identity!

EDIT: Curse me, for being late on the reference.
