[Note: I am taking an English class on Argumentitive Writing. Our first big paper is to write about some sort of controvercial topic and use the correct useages of Ethos Pathos Logos. This is my notes of what I want to do, and where I'm gonna look for it... in fun letter format!]

DEAR KIWI!

In light of the fact you have an essay coming up about a debatable topic, I thought it would be fun and dandy to pick the brain of our favorite political movement since NickCarterism – The Tea Party. Since I know you are super busy listening to your lecture as you are typing this (Hello Multitasking!), I put together a list of tips, hints, guidelines, and scary monsters for you to look up when you get around to writing this chizz out. Now all you have to do is look stuff up and make it look pretty. You’re good at that. Well… Sometimes you are… anywho… the list!
1. Describe Topic – Is the Tea Party political movement an accurate representation of the majority of Americans?

What does the Tea Party represent?
What are the current beliefs on those trends held by a majority of Americans?
Who are the figure heads of the movement?
How are they received by the General Public?

2. Reasons behind Popular opinion of topic – I don’t know the popular opinion

3. Reasons behind YOUR opinion of topic – I think they’re crazy.

Radical ideas that don’t accept change
Base policies on emotion and fear – don’t seem to see other side of argument
Glenn Beck is a loony, and I don’t need Keith Olbermann to tell me that.

Articles from EBSCOhost and Following Websites for Information Thus far.

DailyKos
CBS
NBC
ABC
FOXNews
CNN

Enjoy searching through the slimy depths of Fox and Friends while trying to keep an unbiased mind about such things. It wouldn’t be right to come in to Fox News with a preconceived notion of what side they are on. That’s not fair OR balanced! Hey… you could always be doing your Math work. How are those slope/interception equations coming? Yeah… I went there!

Good luck, dear! And try not to vomit when listening to Palin/Beck.

LOVE,

FUN FACT!

{ September 20, 2010 @ 9:52 am } · { Day in the Life }

Fun Fact: I get to campus about an hour before I need to.

See, I (still) don’t drive, and one of our neighbors is kind enough to give me a ride in every morning since she works on campus. Since she has to be to work by 8, and my first class is at 9… that gives me a little over an hour to kill every Monday, Wednesday, Friday morning before scampering off to Journalism and reflecting on the fact that I am, indeed, a complete and utter drone of Nickelodeon.

Fun Fact: I’m no longer just a “Jeans and T-Shirt” kind of girl.

The first time around through my college experience (all two years of it), I would pretty much roll out of bed ten minutes before class, throw on a sweatshirt, and head to class – not bothering to change out of my PJ pants. Not anymore, my friends! I have discovered a passion for fashion. Just call me a Bratz doll. It’s serious, yo. I feel like I’m underdressed just throwing on Jeans. A typical outfit for me now must consist of Jeggins or some sort of funky leggings, accessories, and at least 15 minutes of looking at my abysmal makeup supply before deciding to wear what I always wear (coverup, blush and mascara if you were wondering).

Fun Fact: There is a direct corrolation to the amount you spend on a cup of coffee and it’s tastiness.

Coffee at home with French Vanilla Creamer = Alright
Coffee at Einstiene Bros with matching Bagel = Delicious
Coffee at Starbucks costing 3 times it’s total cost to make = Oragasmic
It’s a fact of life.

Fun Fact: People stare at you when you attempt to take photos of how cute you look in the morning.

I humiliate myself to bring my dear friend @BlondeshellB a glance of my utter cute outfitness.

Kickin' new sunglasses with signature pout.

Kickin' makeup application that makes me look like a humaniod

Kickin' Attempt to show off the kickin' detailing on my kickin' new leggings. Nice kickin' Try, Kiwi

Fun Fact: I’m officially in love with Riffraff.

Thought you should know.

Blogging in Sunglasses

It’s 10:30 at night, and I am blogging in sunglasses. Why you might ask? Well, two reasons to be honest. Firstly, I have a massive headache that may or may not be migraine status and light is making it worse. (yes.. getting off the computer and going to bed would solve that problem, but I am a glutton for punishment). Secondly, I have a fan account on Twitter.

Yes. Someone made me a fan account. As in… they are a fan of me. Pause for dramatic effect. I don’t understand it either.

I suppose it has much to do with my side “job” so to speak. I run a fan twitter for Victoria Justice (Star of Nickelodeon’s Victorious… been friends with her for YEARS now… she’s an awesome girl, go watch the show). @VJusticeForever (my fan twitter) is one of the more popular ones for Victoria… I hit over 1700 followers today. It’s pretty cool.  It’s giving me a good idea of how online promotions are working these days. Win win. So, I was going through my Twitter mentions when one caught my eye.

@vjusticeforever hey i made this account just 4 u! ur my role model! i <3 u! it would mean the world if u followed or replyed to this! (KiwiFan4ever/Daniela)

What? Yes… no reason has been given at this time, but apparently I have a fan. I am both flattered beyond belief and slightly creeped out. My dear bestie Jade has already taken to the Twitterverse and given a hearty thanks to whoever did it for inflating my ego. Oh Jade… with friends like you, who needs TMZ?

Moving to Nashville

{ Tags: , , , , , } · { Comments (2) }

Newsflash: I no longer live in the great white north of Michigan.

If you had asked me when I wrote my last blog, I wouldn’t have believed that, 1. I’d be moving and more importaintly 2. would get back in touch with my dad.

My parents split up when I was 2 or 3. Dad lived in the same town as us for a while, but he couldn’t find work as a radio DJ, so he went back to California. We lost touch when I was 8ish. From time to time, we’d try to email back and forth, but it never really worked. I had last heard from him when I was 17.

My best friend Jade and I were cybersnooping on our favorite celebrities one night, and we were searching through WhitePages.com. On a whim, I searched for my dad. I found his address and phone number. Jade – being the tough as nails Best Friend that she is – strong armed me in to sending him a Christmas card. Long story short… Dad and I started calling each other again.

He had remarried and I had a whole ‘nother family down in Murfreesboro, TN that would love to meet me, he said. Next thing I knew, I had a plane ticket for a week long visit over Spring Break. I *loved* the area. No Snow! Shopping! No Snow! Starbucks! No Snow! Nice seasons! Did I mention no snow?! After a quick tour of the local campus, I decided to move down to Tennessee and head back to school.

I got here in August. I still love it. I started school back up – and started the debate back up of what do I major in (Teaching? PR? Juggling? Bullshitting?). I miss my Preschoolers, but I have nieces and nephews to spoil now.

It’s a journey… that’s for sure.

[I realize now that I gave the WAY shortened version of how it all happened. But honestly, the story isn't that interesting. I moved. It's hot. School is expensive.]

Let’s try this again.

So, I go back and forth between blogs. I really should keep up with one. Let’s see if I can keep this going…

Since it’s been over a year since my last post… I think some updates are in order. =)

1. Finished second year of AmeriCorps.
2. Moved to Tennessee
3. Started School Again
4. Falling Headfirst back in to PR.

In a nutshell. I’ll get more detail later… but I really need to get my Math homework done… *sigh*

Brave New Girl

{ June 23, 2009 @ 12:00 am } · { Day in the Life }
{ Comments (2) }

Contrary to popular belief, I did not fall off the face of the planet… although some days that would have been quite welcome. No, instead I finished up my year at the Preschool (bye bye babies! *sniff*), started at the Elementary School’s Summer program (hello little children who are taller than me *eep*), and moved in to my own apartment (is anybody else here????). Let’s play catch up, shall we?

My AmeriCorps contract ends at the end of the month. In order to have a summer job that will pay me after it ends, I decided to work with the local elementary school’s summer camp program. This meant I had to leave my Preschool. I miss my snuggle bunnies! I miss nap time! I miss conversations about talking potatoes and dancing bears! With some luck, I’ll be back in the fall… but some of those kids won’t be :’(. Growing up sucks, man!

Now, I’m working with a program that focuses on 1st-6th graders. it’s a HUGE change from my munchkins – these kids are half my age, and taller than me. Wha…. My sister – who is in 4th grade – also goes to this program. You can imagine the fun we have push each others buttons. 

I actually don’t interact with the kids too much at this point… eventually I’ll be heading up a reading program for the at-risk students. The past week, I’ve been filing papers until my eyes cross. It’s such a weird change… going from having four kids crawling to get in your lap to being alone in a quiet room with papers to go through. I have stepped in twice to fill the “teacher” spots though… so who knows what else will come up.

In-between the job shifts… I got an apartment. My dear friend Yaz and her husband had a baby last Feb. They had signed their lease for another year, but ended up finding a bigger place. She called up and asked if I wanted to move in…. and I did about two weeks later.

It’s an awesome place… right above a local brewpub… downtown… by the waterfront… my windows face the water… one bedroom… bright in the evening… free wireless.. perfect. If only I could get over the fact my posters don’t talk back to me… maybe I need a fish?

This summer is gonna be crazy. I can feel it. Ahhhh!

Conversations Pt. 1

{ May 25, 2009 @ 5:23 pm } · { Day in the Life, Preschool Fun }
{ Tags: , , , , , } · { Comments (3) }

What follows are actual conversations I have had at work.

Ja:What’s for Lunch?
K:I don’t know. I’m gonna tell you it’s chicken, because you eat chicken without too much complaint. Yes, I know it smells funny and is slightly green on the edges. It’s chicken. Trust me. Tell me how it tastes, by the way. I refuse to touch it.
Ja:*takes bite and makes face* It tastes awful!
K:Yeah… have some more wilted salad or squishy apples. 
Ja:*gives me a look* You first. 

Jo:How old are you?
K:How old do you think I am? I’ll give you a hint.. I’m older than you 
Jo:6?
K:Nope, I’m 20.
Jo:No, you’re 6!
K:Sweetie, I’m a little older than that. I’m 20. I’ll be 21 in July
Jo:NO! YOU’RE 6!
K:Ok… I’m 6! Put down the scissors and slowly back away from me.

Ja:Does potato count? (for eating them and getting more of the stuff they really want to eat)
K:No J, potatoes are inanimate objects and are incapable of complex thought.
J:Why? 
K:Because they watched too much Spongebob. 
Ja:Is that what happened to you?
K:No… You small zombies have eaten my brains… finish your lunch. 
Ja: Mmmm… Brains! 

K:*I see B hiding under the bridge on the playground structure* Whatcha doing?
B:Hiding
K:From what?
B:Bombs
K:What bombs?
*two shovels wiz past my face and land on the bridge followed by the howls of another child’s tantrum*
B:Those bombs. 

R:*we are reading a book* Are those Aliens in that book?
K:I don’t know, do they look like aliens?
R:No… they don’t.
K:What do aliens look like?
R:They’re green and big. And have penises.
K:… what?
R:They have penises!
K:… oh. Do they now?
R:Yeah! They have to go to the bathroom SOMEHOW! *howls of laughter* 

 

All Day. Monday Through Friday. And you wonder why I barely watch TV anymore… *shakes head*
