Being an English Major

Being an English Major allows me to live in a world full of fake British accents, hand gestures and most importantly, criticisms. I thought it would be a great idea to major in writing and express myself through funny stories and outrageous anecdotes. Boy was I wrong. The English major is a self-involved, arrogant piece of shit who writes about death in all forms (suicide, murder, accidents… you name it) I, on the other hand, enjoy writing comedies. I like to make people feel good. Life is a lot better with laughter. However, English majors believe people should become Emo after reading their stories. After being an English Major for the past 2 years (I transferred from a community college) I realized they are all insane. I’m insane for becoming an English major. I should’ve picked an easier major like business or teaching. At least I would be able to find a job after graduation. I’m lucky if I can find a job as a receptionist.           

  English majors love talking. I think workshopping is a good tool but when I have to sit and listen to Mr. Fat s.o.b. talk about how my story “Just doesn’t work for me” I stab my cochlea. I can’t handle listening to people giving me “tips for revision” when their stories suck ballz! It’s as if I can’t win because the true English majors know some way to butter up their professors. They must be giving them all BJs after class because I swear my stories aren’t great but not deserving of C’s and B’s. These people all write about the same shit! Autumn winters during World War II and characters that are dry and remind me of Nicholas Sparks’s novels. I think it’s funny that Nicholas Sparks started writing the cheesy novels that he makes millions of dollars off of after going into Barnes and Noble and asking a clerk what types of books women read. I should do that. Choose a cheesy genre, write mediocre stories, and make millions of dollars. That would be sweet. I could finally buy my Mazda 3. Ooohhh those are sweet cars.      

       Anyways, I think it’s wrong if my classmates resort to giving English professors BJs in order to get good grades on their stories. I wouldn’t resort to something like that. I’m a lady. I would rather suffer with a C in intermediate fiction than spend any extra time with my douche bag professors. Don’t get me wrong, I have had some good professors. Some have actually given some valid advice! Imagine that, a teacher doing their job and not just judging me because their egos are too big to help upcoming writers! Crazy.       

      I love comedy. I grew up watching the Three Stooges and Ren and Stimpy with my dad. I think I’m the way I am because of my father. He’s insane, in a good way. We laugh at the same stuff. This includes farts, poop and people getting hurt. However, if you laugh at either one of us when we get hurt we get angry. It’s not funny when it happens to you. I do love poop jokes, though. You can’t sit there with a straight face when someone next to you lifts their ass and a giant burst of ass gas comes wafting by. That’s funny stuff.  I belch a lot. I love to burp because it frees a little bit of me into the world. I don’t burp on command because that takes all the fun out of it. You have to let the gas grow inside of you like a baby then set it free when it’s ready. If it’s premature, you may have some afterbirth (I call this as “mouth sewage”). My dad did have a lot to do with me wanting to become a writer. I love how he tells the same damn stories all the time but they never get old. I want to do that. I want people to re-tell my stories so my humor can travel around the world. The one thing that is different is I swear, a lot. In casual conversation, I sprinkle “ass”, “Damn”, “shit”, “fuck” on like sentence paprika. I don’t mean to. I think it’s because I commute every day to the city and I hate people who don’t know how to fucking drive in the city. See, there I go again. But I mean, seriously, if you don’t know how to read, don’t drive. Fuckers.    

        You know what else English majors do? Drink obscene amounts of Starbucks. I remember watching “Family Guy” once and they cracked a joke about how screenwriters sit in Starbucks and type their scripts. Well, guess where I am drinking coffee from a festive holiday cup, typing this blog…. STARBUCKS! I fit into this stereotype and it sucks. I swear Starbucks puts crack in their pumpkin Spice lattes. They are so delicious and it’s like drinking autumn goodness. Yummy. I get the shakes if I don’t drink enough coffee in a day. My eyes start to blink a lot and the withdrawal affects my daily routines. If  I don’t drink enough I forget where I parked my car, my address, papers and the worst was when I forgot my own name. That is how serious my addiction is. I wouldn’t be surprised if in like 10 years there is a rehab for caffeine addicts. How funny would that be?!  Britney Spears can add that to her laundry list of issues.      

      Britney Spears… Where do I begin? I’m a fan of her music. I know, I know she lip-syncs. But she has some catchy tunes. I jam to “Oops” all the time. I even learned the dance moves for a sketch in my 9th grade theatre class. I fell and everyone laughed at me. The real Britney is a piece of trailer trash with more money anyone ever needs. She has like 11 cars, 3 houses and a lifetime supply of cheetos. The girl’s got it made. He kids are cute; too bad she drops them all the time. I guess that’s what plastic surgery is for. KFED- hmm… I actually have no opinion about him. He got famous for doing nothing. Good for him. He also made Britney a complete nutcase. I have a feeling she was always crazy. I think it just took her cheating on Justin for it to come out. Justin is cute and talented. He could do better than Britney and I bet he is so happy that she went and banged Wade Robson. I actually wrote a parody of a Britney song for my Shakespeare class. I used the tune for “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman” and wrote in lyrics about Richard III. It’s talks about him being a hunchback and no one loves him but he is going to kill his family and be king. I liked it.       

      I love making a mockery out of serious subjects. People in this world are too damn serious. Lighten up! My favorite topic is politics. People get so pissed off about the war, Bush, economy… whatever. I think it’s funny how assholes like Hannity, O’Reilly, Mar and the other crazies who think their opinion matters. If you look up their past they are all lying jagoffs. I consider myself moderate. I know some may see that as a copout but screw you for thinking that. I was thinking of going uber conservative because it’s far more rebellious to be conservative in Hollywood than Liberal is. In addition, I don’t want to be associated with douche bags like Alec Baldwin (Vile Pig!), Streisand (don’t get me started), and Rosie (just because you’re loud doesn’t mean people listen to you, you stupid over-opinionated, close-minded, piece of shit) and to think I watched her show after school. L           

  I bet I Rosie went to college she would have been an English major. That thought scares the shit out of me. I refuse to end up sipping a latte with strategically placed tattoos smoking pot and talking with hand gestures that make the people sitting next to me nervous because I come too close to smacking them in the face.  I’m sure I can write more on this subject and probably will. I just can’t stay in Starbucks any longer.

Honk if You Love Jesus!

November 29, 2007 at 6:16 am (Being attached, Being single, Boring people, College, Frat Guys, Funny stuff, Life in your 20's, Love and Dating, Pittsburgh, bar stories, no personality, religious fanatics, sensitive guys)

I love Jesus as much as the next person does, but when someone decides to be “Born-Again”, you need to watch out. There are many reasons to watch out for the religious guys because most of the times they want to push their beliefs on you. If you aren’t religious, I say, stay away. If you are religious but not Born-Again, then there is going to be major conflict between you and your new beau. Here are some of the characteristics of a Jesus lover:1. Doesn’t believe in any forms of birth control (No condoms or the pill for you!)2. Frown upon swearing3. Are ridiculously close to their family to the point of nausea4. Want to marry young5. Believe in big families6. Claim to read the Bible but in reality carry it around in the backseat of their car for show7. “Honk if you love our lord” bumper sticker8. Get angry with Darwinism9. Republican10. Women should stay at home with the kids11. Alcohol is a No, No 12. Watch Televangelists13. Blast Christian rap while driving through their church parking lot14. They love the shows “Becker” and “Everyone Loves Raymond”15. Watch edited versions of “R” rated movies on TV16. Have sex in the youth group room           If your life’s goal is to have your uterus stretched out to the point where the kids walk out; a Born-Again is for you. Be forewarned that Born-Again are mainly hypocritical. They claim to love Jesus but they rarely attend church. If you’re young and want to have fun don’t get mixed in with the bible-hugging crowd.

I Would Rather Talk to a Doorknob

November 29, 2007 at 6:15 am (Being attached, Being single, Boring people, College, Funny stuff, Life in your 20's, Love and Dating, Pittsburgh, bar stories, no personality)

You spot an insanely hot guy at the club. You know that he isn’t gay because you recently spotted him making out with three other girls. So, obviously he is a good kisser. Go over to him and introduce yourself. Only problem is that he could not be more boring. This is different from the “Get me another drink guy,” because there is actual interest with this one. So, what do you do? Simple, make out with him at the club because obviously if you are bored with him within the first five minutes of making his acquaintance there is no hope for an actual date. It will look awesome to your friends if you make-out with a hot guy and it is a definite shot into your pool of self-esteem boosters. After the club, say “see ya next week!” and you are guaranteed a boring-ass make-out buddy.

Pull My Finger

November 29, 2007 at 6:13 am (Being attached, Being single, College, Frat Guys, Funny stuff, Life in your 20's, Love and Dating, Pittsburgh, bar stories)

You don’t have to go to college to recognize a frat guy. These guys who seem to think they are hot shit because they spanked their “brothers” ass with a wooden paddle and can chug fifteen beers in a half-hour. What’s tricky about these guys is that the majority of them are usually cute but they have terrible habits: 1. Nose Picker2. Doesn’t believe in washing their clothes and wears the same gray college hoodie to class3. Farts on command 4. Can belch the alphabet 5. Brags about shitting themselves when they were drunk Friday night, 6. Their house smells like pee and stale vomit 7. Paper plates are considered fine China 8. Underpants are optional while walking through the frat house 9. Clogged toilets10. Screaming all the time 11. Attention whores12. They would still have sex with Britney Spears even though she is fat and bald 13. Bragging about how drunk they got on a school night14. Coming to class with a hangover at four in the afternoon 15. No sidewalk etiquette 16. Athletes17. Obsessed with rap and rock music18. Has a drawer dedicated to his condom collection19. Has over 200 friends on Facebook and 185 are female20. Wears button-down shirts with graphic t-shirts underneath21. Pretends to be the next Eminem22. Dresses up only for special occasions and funerals23. Can quote all the lines from the movie “Old School”24. Will Ferrell is their hero This type of guy is entertaining at first but after a while, their true colors begin to show. Their inner prick comes out and you need to distract them with a Playboy and whoopee cushion. Remember that you are better than having to baby-sit a boy who thinks he is still twelve.

Who Has the Vagina in this Relationship?

November 29, 2007 at 6:12 am (Being attached, Being single, College, Funny stuff, Life in your 20's, Love and Dating, Pittsburgh, sensitive guys)

Here’s the problem with guys who actually want to listen to your problems; they’re possibly gay or they are desperate to get laid. No man cares if you’re upset because that means you will tell them a story about school, work, or your friends and all they care about is what’s on TV or what’s for dinner. When a guy starts to ask you about your relationship after your second date that is a warning sign to abort. The biggest problem that college girls face is that you prefer the company of “older” men on average of 25 to 29. Around the time, boys reach 27 they decide that they want to settle down. However, girls who are the tender age of 21 realize that you have a lot of drinking, making out with random boys, and shopping to do.If the guy you’re interested in springs up a question about where the relationship is going you need to come to terms that he’s not for you. Keep him in the back of your mind after a couple of years have passed and you are ready to settle down but do not get intimidated when he buys you flowers and says that you are the most beautiful girl he has ever dated. It’s a line. Unless you are ready to settle, get out of associating yourself with him by not taking any phone calls and emails. He isn’t meant for you if he pops the question after three dates or asks your opinions on how many children you plan on having.

Can You Get Me Another Drink?

November 29, 2007 at 6:10 am (Being attached, Being single, College, Funny stuff, Life in your 20's, Love and Dating, Pittsburgh, bar stories)

Allow me to setup a scenario for you: There’s a guy checking you out from across the bar. The only problem is that he is not that attractive and you can tell that he probably is a boring person based on how his friend seems to be looking all over the bar and not paying attention to boring guy’s story. However, you notice that you need a refill. What do you do? Tell one of your friends that you are going to get another drink but you need her assistance once the mission is accomplished. Her job is to drag you away from boring guy after you get your refill. Walk up to the bar making sure that you make eye contact with boring guy. Stand at the bar with your empty drink noticeably on the counter. Smile at boring guy. If all goes to plan, he will smile back, turn away from his friend and begin talking to you. Be polite and nod along. Do not give away too many details about yourself. This could be a time where you have fun making up a different name, occupation, or nationality. Try out a British accent if you want… how is he ever going to figure out that you aren’t working for Paris Hilton? Maybe you wanted your name to be Belinda? Now, be sure to seem interested in whatever he is telling you about himself and remember one piece of information from that conversation.  After about two-minutes he will offer to buy you another drink. After the drink is ordered, look over at your friend and give her the signal that the mission is almost accomplished. When the drink arrives, thank him again, personally, and mention that one piece of personal information so it seems to him that you WERE paying attention. You friend should come over to the bar and ask if you need to go to the bathroom. You say yes and thank boring guy again for the drink. Mission accomplished.Sometimes the guy will wait for you outside the bathroom. If this happens, keep your friends close to you and try to find a guy friend to hang around. The worst thing is to be seen with a boring guy who is obviously desperate. If things feel weird then you can always make friends with the bouncers and boring guy will not bother you anymore.

Beware of the Polite Pimps

November 29, 2007 at 5:38 am (Being single, Funny stuff, Life in your 20's, Love and Dating) (, , , )

roses.jpg

There are several connotations to this term I have coined myself. This is the guy who simply strings you along to fall helplessly in love with them and they decide that they are bored with you. They date several other girls at the same time but always make you seem like a princess. He will buy you roses for no reason and tell you are the most beautiful girl he has ever dated when there are about five other girls on his same roster. Don’t fall into this trap, girls! Here are some tips to figure out if he is legit or just a pimp:
1.He will flirt with you in a class and seem interested in being your partner for an upcoming group project.

2.He is eager to call, IM, or text you

3.Admits everything about his past relationships

4.Makes himself out to be the wounded puppy

5.Tells you that you are beautiful

6.Buys you roses for no reason

7.Never takes you to a movie rather you meet up for coffee or hang out at his apartment

8.Still talks to his ex

9.Is mildly attractive but you are still infatuated with him

10.Has the uncanny ability to talk to women about anything (borderline gay?)

11.Is an only child

12.Is not close with his family

13.Struggles in school

15. Constantly needs attention from many girls to make up for his insecurities about himself

14. Is a complete bullshitter

15.Aggressive, “rough around the edges”

16.Outgoing personality

17. Thoughtful to score bonus points with you and to keep you hanging on

18. Pretends like he cares about you and what’s going on in your life when he is really just a self-centered brat

19. Waits for you to kiss him because he needs the affirmation that your into him (again for insecurity and ego purposes)

20. Always keeps you guessing and keeps things exciting and passionate

21. Tells you exactly what you want to hear

22. Has lots of friends

23. Preys after girls who are vulnerable and don’t have much dating experience and are a challenge for him

24. Uses the excuse that he doesn’t want to be exclusive right away and wants to casually date because he just got out of a long term relationship

25. After you start to want things to go further instills the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy about dating other people

26. Goes backward from dating with the potential for a relationship to just friends with benefits.

Polite Pimps are bad news. You need to stay away from this type of guy even though you think that if you can’t score with this type you will never find your true love. Believe me; you do not need to be caught up by a douche who wears a cowboy hat everyday. Listen to your friend’s advice about these guys. You need to stay away because they are deceitful and you will only get a broken heart out of dealing with this type. If you want roses go to a florist and buy them yourself. Don’t make yourself suffer through this. Beware the Polite Pimps!!!
