What is the most annoying pet naming convention?

I hate the normal obvious pet names like...Spot, Fluffy, Shadow, Paws, or Sunshine. They are so stupid. The only time these names are acceptable for a pet is when they are ironic misnomers. For instance, if one were to name a fish Paws, or a snake Fluffy. Then, it's kind of cute. I also hate when annoying people give their friends, boyfriends, or girlfriends pet names. I can't stand passing a couple in the hallway and listening to them call each other something stupid like "Pookie Wookie Kins" or something equally lame.

Of all the pets you've ever had, which one had the coolest name?

Well, I have had many, many pets in my lifetime. I have had dogs: Saidie, Samson, Pongo, Delilah, Baxter, and Edgar. I have also had cats: Katy, Bridget, Allison, and Teaspoon. I have had cats: Smoke, Bitsy, Calpurnia, Donder, and Boxer. I have had fish as well: Sapphire, Archer, and Angel. I once had a pet bird named Moccasin, and a snake named Delacroix. I have also cared for two lizards by the names of Veronica and Houdini. Most recently, however, I have adopted three Antilles Pink-Toe Tarantulas, whose names are Hecate Selene, Persephone, and Violette Mystique. I feel that most of my pets, if not all, have had wonderful names, but I would have to say the title for the coolest name would lie evenly among Calpurnia, Delacroix, Hecate Selene, and Persephone.

Suggest three journal topics.

How do other people see you, and what leads them to their opinion? Describe your most interesting, strange, and/or entertaining friend. Do you ever have free time? If so, how is it spent? If not, what activities fill your schedule?

Great job, lousy pay. Lousy job, great pay. Which one? Explain.

Great job, lousy pay. I would rather spend my life poor while enjoying my career than dreading that which makes me wealthy. If I am going to be rich in the future, it will be earned from a job that I love. You are only given one chance at life. If you live it miserably for money alone, you're an idiot.

Which is better: an easy class with loads of homework or a hard class with very little homework? Explain.

Well, I have trouble completing my work, as I'm sure you've noticed. However, in easy classes, I have a special talent for spending the entire term goofing off, getting all my work in by the end of the term, and pull off an A. In easy classes, you can get all of the work for the entire year done in one weekend, and they always take it late. In hard classes, the teachers don't accept late work (ahem, Clark). Due to my frequent changes in Attention Defacite elevation, easier classes with loads of homework, are no problem.

Which of these decades has the best music? 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's?

80's!!!!!!! 80's is music! I love 80's rock and grunge. It is the best music ever created, and it is soooo sad that most of the artists are dead now. I literally feed off of the musical talents of Dokken, Styx, Ratt,Alice Cooper, Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, the Scorpions, Motley Crue, Cinderella, and many, many others. However, Nirvana's introduction to grunge makes me partial to 90's as well. R.I.P. Kurt Cobain, deceased but never forgotten. He will forever live on in our hearts, minds, souls, and CD players.

Do you like to hunt? Why or why not?

I despise hunting. I despise hunters. Hunting is an awful and sadistic sport in which mankind enters the home of an innocent animal to murder and devour him or her. In my mind if hunting is supposedly "ethical" than it should also be perfectly acceptable for one to enter another man's home and shoot him dead in front of his own refrigerator, cut him up and eat him, leaving his family to fend for themselves. There's really not much difference. If someone finds murder entertaining in any context, his or her philosophy greatly lacks something to be desired.

Nearly nine weeks, into the school year...has your initial new lunchline opinion changed?

No not at all. It still reminds me of a Pink Floyd music video. But, I have gotten used to it. It completely angers me that they always run out of food during third lunch, though. It's like they have no clue how many people are in the school.

Do you, or will you someday, play the lottery?

Currently, I do not play the lottery. I, personally, feel that it is a waste of time and money, and the chances of winning are slim to none. I will probably play sometime in the future, though. I believe one should try everything at least once. You never know what could happen.
