  • Homework Assignment 10/8

    Class, I am somewhat out of my funk and I graded your last assignment.  I am pleased with how we are doing but we just need more class participation.  You get an A.

    Now for your next assignment:

    A.
        

    B.
      

    C.
      

    Make sure you answer two questions.  You can answer three for extra credit.  Also make sure you answer all the questions clearly and concisely.

    A.  I was really angry on Sunday afternoon because my dad brought something up that I had worked on and it came up and I realized that maybe my feelings were still needing work.  I am still a little peeved and thinking I need to write some angry letters but I figure if I sleep on it tonight I will forget.

    B.  Of course because if I were a hotdog I'd be tasty although I wouldn't have a natural casing.

    C.  I have won a few.  The first I can remember was when I was about 8 or 9.  I won a football at a grocery store during their anniversary celebration.  Then that summer my dad signed me up for a chance to meet the Chicago Bears when they used to have training camp at his alma mater.  I won and I took the football and had Chicago Bears players sign it.

    Get to work.

  • B. No. Hotdogs are gross.

    C. I'm sure I have won a contest at some point. Probably mostly school contests, like math and band stuff. Also one time I won a Halloween best costume thing because I dressed up as my mom and there was a "Best Lookalike" category.

  • A. 
    I was really angry because the cap on my 2L Dr Pepper was stuck and not budging. It took a long-ass time to find something to open it. Now that the bottle is empty, I am no longer angry - well, maybe angry in that I no longer have Dr Pepper, but at least I was able to drink it. ... I have a Dr Pepper problem.

    C.
    I won a place in an erotic literature contest on Xanga one time. I think I won some scratchcards that you could scratch off with a partner then you did whatever the "prizes" were. I never used them because, well, I have no one with whom to use them :P  #foreveralone I also won a Westerner short-story contest held by KnightInCroatianArmor .... Outside Xanga, I don't think I've ever won a contest.

  • Hmm, last time I was really angry? Nothing really interesting happens in my life to make me REALLY angry... but I experience anger on a very frequent basis, like daily. And it was because I had turned the channel to Friends while my bf was making some food, he comes in after putting his dishes away, grabs the remote and changes it because apparently I looked like I wasn't paying attention. There were literally 2 minutes left and I WAS watching it. Also, he got sick today and missed the toilet a little bit. Lol. I have some raging hormones.

    I'd probably nibble on myself, but you didn't specify whether or not I would be able to find food soon or not. It would probably defeat the purpose if I was starving and wanted to survive and then I just ate myself though.

    I have never won a damn contest. I don't think I've really entered in many, and I don't really care for contests. The last one was the Miss XangAmerica, and I had to drop out 2nd round cus I just couldn't take the pictures I needed to in time, and I only have the webcam on this computer so it would have been horrible quality. I'd rather bow out gracefully than try to put in something that was half-assed. I wouldn't have felt right if I had moved to the last round. And I'm on Xanga because it's not like there's just tons of contests I can enter into right this second. Lol.

  • A. The last time I was really angry was probably because my Mom gave me a list of 12378035 things to do and I didn't remember to do 237893 of them. I get angry about her on the regular.

    B. I don't think I would. I really don't like hot dogs.

    C. I won a barbie fashion show contest thing at Toys R Us when I was 4.  I also got to "wake up" Mickey Mouse at Disneyworld when I was 5. Oh and more recently I won a blanket from work.

  • B. If I were a hotdog I would eat myself...because I'd be delicious!!

  • A.  I was angry a few moments ago when someone im'd a question to me... "why are you still single"  How to answer a question like that...  I hate questions like that.  Reminds me of when I was little and my relatives would ask if I had a boyfriend and want to know all the details of whomever i fancied at the time.  Anyway I hate questions like that and it makes me angry to be asked them.

    I just reread the question and saw the REALLY in there... so here's my rewritten answer... last week when my brother called me to come pick him up from the bar that the cops were outside of.  When we got home he was suppose to cook my hamburgers.  He got the raw meat out of the fridge went downstairs to cook them.  An hour and a half later I still didn't have any hamburgers cooked.  Went downstairs and he was asleep.  Raw meat on the counter sitting.  I brought it back upstairs and it being so late went to bed with no food.  The next morning I wake up to cooked hamburger meat and a note that said he was sorry he fell asleep but i could nuke the burgers and they'd be ok.  Went downstairs and the door to the house is wide open and my brother is sacked out asleep again.  No telling how long the door had been wide open.  Any crazy person could have come in and killed us or stollen all our stuff.  I was mad all day and when I got home I let him have it.  He didn't talk to me for a full 24 hours afterwards and kicked me off the internet as welll (he controls that from his area in the house).
    C.  I've won 1 contest before.  I was in middle school and my name got pulled from a group of names.  I won a makeup bag.  

  • A. Yep, still pretty upset because my mom's oldest is visiting in Nov. This is my month and having him here then is unfortunate to say the least.

    B. No matter what, you can't eat yourself. It wouldn't work. And if you could I wouldn't. That would be gross and suicidal.
    C.Never have really won anything. So I gave up on entering in any contest because of that and it is just not worth it. I think I have very bad luck, lol.

  • B. Yes, because I'm a quarter Jewish, and Jewish hotdogs are the best. True story.

    C. Because I'm camera shy, and most contests here involve pictures of yourself, so that doesn't happen.

  • A. I was angry about 2 months ago at the childish behavior of a band member. I almost quit the band. Now it's water under the bridge.

    B. I can't make sense of that question. I wouldn't eat myself (as a human), but I'm sure a cannibal might. Plus, eating yourself might kill you. So...eh.

    C. I won a songwriting contest. Why am I not out winning contests? Ha. It's not as easy as it might seem. Hell, most contests have an entry fee to begin with, and I'm broke.

  • A. REALLY angry? It was a huge betrayal. How I feel now? I've let it roll down my back and into the sewers.

    B. Were I a starving hotdog, I would not eat myself, I would get a job promoting myself. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT5z1ClHQoE&playnext=1&list=PL7A5AC2FD47A5316D&feature=results_video

    C. Yes. I won the Oscar for Hot Dogs. I was rewarded some kraut, relish, onions, chili, and hot mustard. It was a momentous occasion.

  • A. The last time I was really angry was at a friend for using my pet name for my boyfriend on my boyfriend. It sounds like I'm an insanely jealous person, but this friend has been sort of an ex friend for a good long while because of some of the shit she threw at me. (Yes literal poo. She was an ape).

    B. I would not eat myself. I would either die of starvation or of eating myself. But also I'm a vegetarian. So, yeah.

  • a.  really angry - doesn't take much at this juncture, lots of stress, too much actually...
    b.  i can't answer that hotdog question...  i...  i...  yeah, no...  abstain...  (if you catch my...)
    c.  won contests...  i'd someday like to win the lottery - that seems to be a fine way to totally flame out... 

    nice gogb...

  • A. REALLY angry?  I was betrayed by @Kellsbella - She stole my internet girlfriend janeweah@ymail.com of Ghana from me and she did this without remorse.

    B. What she said.

    C. What she said.

  • A. My dog ate my carpet on Friday. Yes, I am still mad about it. :P

    B. I wouldn't even question it! Of course I would.

  • A. It was at work, and it was over some sort of stupid something or other about people who don't put the right information and other people who don't care. If I think about it long enough I'll work myself into being angry but mostly I'm too tired to care at the moment. I used to be an angry person, but then I became lazy. Too much energy to be angry.

    B. Um...No? Because then I'd be in pain or dead....

    C. When I was in second grade I won the spelling bee. I don't think I got anything for it. I won a parking space two months in a row. I won a free lunch. I'm sure there was other stuff but nothing that was amazing. I saw the publisher's clearing house commercial on TV today, so maybe I'll go to their website and then some people with an oversized check can come to my house with balloons. I wonder if the bank will take that, it won't fit in the ATM slot. On the plus side, I'll be able to quit my job and go to the bank during the day when it's open.

  • Hey Norm!...I know I would...

  • a.  really angry.  because my kid didn't do what she promised and i was stressed.  no. not angry anymore because it was scary as shit.
    b.eh.  don't care for hotdogs generally.  with enough kraut and mustard, i might.
    c. i won a contest!  although i think everyone who entered won.  i don't care because it was cool.  i won two tickets to the irish festival at a local theater.  we saw a couple great movies and some fun irish bands. and drank some beer.  and it was the weekend of my 20th anniversary.  very cool.

  • A. Sorry, can't tell you why, but, yes, still feel the same way about it... so annoying.

    B. Weird... I had a hot dog for dinner last night. You're doing it again! Be afraid, be very afraid! ;)

  • @randaness - but hot dogs are so good especially if you get the kind with spice and the natural casing.
    That's pretty cool about winning the math and band stuff.

    @Marica0701 - I remember one time my dad couldn't open his bottle of Diet Mountain Dew.  He came to me and asked if I could open it.  His eyes were red and his cheeks were wet.  I asked if he was crying.  He got so pissed and started whining.  Then another time I was riding with him to work when I was in high school and he couldn't open the bottle.  He didn't bother asking me and he took it to the gas station but they just laughed at him so he went to a auto mechanic.  The mechanic easily twisted it off and he stood there with a confused look on his face.  I started laughing and couldn't stop laughing for the entire commute. 
    Oh yeah...the erotica contest...we need more of that.

    @kaitlove__xx - Oh man I absolutely detest when people change the channel of something I'm watching.  My mom would do that if I got up to go to the bathroom and she would refuse to turn it back saying I left.
    I would have a hard time not eating myself if I were a hotdog because I love hotdogs but only certain varieties.  I don't really care for Oscar Meyer hotdogs.  There is this meat market near here that makes their own hotdogs and it's like eating a piece of heaven smothered in ketchup, mustard, and onions.
    I've always wanted to do a contest on Xanga but I have no clue what it should be.

    @Thatslifekid - I have that same problems with my parents.  They give me a list of 100 things they want me to do and I get 99 done and they flip out that I didn't do 1.
    It all depends on the hotdog.  Some of the most popular like Oscar Meyer, I don't like.
    That's cool about the blanket.  It will come in handy this winter.  I had a girlfriend that was in a catalog when she was younger so I always bragged that I was dating a model so some guy will brag he is dating a beauty pageant winner.

    @TheGhioniFiles - YES!  I am so hungry for this specific hotdog right now.  It's made at a meat locker not too far from my town.  I can taste the spices right now.

    @LadyofWaters - I hate that question.  I think people are trying to figure out if I'm gay when they ask that.
    Yikes, that sucks about your brother.  I think I should be lucky that I don't have siblings.  Your comment about leaving the door open got me thinking.  I rarely lock my door at night.  I usually lock my front entrances to the house but then I don't use them.  I usually only use my back entrance because it's right near my garage and driveway.  I also don't usually lock the door because I'm well armed.

    @BookographyReviews - I always hate company too and it was usually because my parents never took time out of their schedule to welcome the company.  I'd have to entertain as a kid.  I remember the awkward time when I was 14 and I was stuck at home with my newlywed cousin and her jackass husband who only wanted to come over to beg for money because they lost it all on their honeymoon at the casino.
    I suppose it would be suicidal after all.
    I don't enter many contests either for the same reasons.

    @emily_shannon - I wasn't a fan of the Hebrew National hotdogs
    Yeah I am the same way with Xanga contests

    @Unstoppable_Inner_Strength - that's good to hear that you've moved past that
    Well that question is from a Saturday Night Live skit of Will Ferell's imitation of baseball announcer Harry Caray.  He'd ask weird questions during games.  I should also mention Harry liked to drink while calling the baseball games.  It was always interesting at the end of the games when he'd start trying to say players' names backwards.
    That's true, I forgot about some of those entrance fees.

    @Kellsbella - I try to let things run into the sewers but people keep bringing it back.
    That song is awesome.  Makes me think of some of the variation of Oscar Meyer songs we sang when I was a kid.
    I hope you relish your award.

    @LaughOutLoudLauren - I think that anger is justifiable.
    Well aren't there vegetarian hotdogs?

    @spinner_mom - I am thankful for my current neighbors except the ones down the block that come and steal my apples.
    people bring up the killing yourself angle if you ate yourself as a hotdog, I totally forgot about that and was just thinking about hotdogs
    That's awesome you won for your knitting.  It does look like it should win awards.

    @we_deny_everything - and I am angry because you stole her from me
    yep

    @xplorrn - stress does it to me too
    yep, I get it
    it depends on the lottery, if it was the lottery in the story The Lottery then no

    @Wait_by_Moonlight - I am mad at my cats for clawing my carpet.  They are so strong that they've pulled the carpet up and I have to glue it back down.  My steps need to be re-carpeted period because of those two.
    YES!  Hotdogs are so good.

    @leaflesstree - Work stuff is always difficult to get over because you see those people day after day and they usually repeat their asinine behavior.
    I never thought of that, I was only thinking of delicious hotdogs
    That's awesome you won all that stuff.

    @HereLiesNelsontheGreat - YES!  SOME ONE GOT IT!  I love Harry Caray and those SNL skits were pretty spot on.

    @promisesunshine - well that's good, I am sort of glad I don't have kids because I think they'd make me angry all the time.
    that's pretty cool that you won nonetheless.

    @Peridot21 - :( sorry to hear that, I wish I could send you magic wizard powers to get over it.
    See the wizard powers come in handy.

  • Angry when I was lied to and rejected.  If I were a hot dog, yes, I would eat myself but only if I was slathered in mustard.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - Im not armed at all (well except for what God gave me).  I would worry someone would steal my weapons if I had any.  I guess I could always knock them upside the head with a cast iron skillet (we have those!)

  • A. The last time I was really angry was somewhere around September 16. I was angry because my sister is the devil and had a fit over my niece seeing my mom. My sister cursed me out, put all kinds of horrible stuff about the family on Facebook, and forbid me from seeing my niece. I'm not as angry now and I will see my niece this weekend. My sister will probably always make me really angry.

    B. If I were a hot dog, why would I be starving?

  • I AM ANGRY ALL THE TIME!!!

    I AM ANGRY BECAUSE I AM NOT A HOTDOG, AND I ATE TWO HOTDOGS FOR DINNER!!!   IF I WERE A HOTDOG I WOULD BE A CANNIBLE!!!

    I WIN EVERY CONTEST I ENTER, BECAUSE I HATE LOSING!!! I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A HOTDOG EATING CONTEST!
