Of course you do :p I prefer the original as it is less discordant and annoying.

It isn't as good as the other ones.

So, I went on a national anthem marathon the other day, and here are the ones I decided were my top five. I'm curious as to people's thoughts on this subject and what your top five would be.

I play trumpet, and I'm fairly decent at it. I would be a lot better if I could motivate myself to practice more.

Introductions to classics generally spoil the plot, so I usually skip them.

Perhaps, but she was a painfully boring teacher.

No, I didn't recognize any of the other titles.

lol

For one of my Economics courses, I didn't bother going to class as I found the book more useful than the teacher. But I kept putting off reading the book until a couple days before a test and then I would have to cram like crazy.

I am afraid that one day Alex will find a way to blow up the United States :P

I really like The Most Dangerous Game.

Well, I guess the premise was kind of interesting.

Wow, that was awful. No offense. Is that the end of the story.

LIES! She is a complete swooning fangirl for him.

Jocelyn wrote: "It wasn't Disney that produced KFP though.

Do you like KFP, Danny?"

I know it wasn't. I just meant it was a cartoon too. I liked it quite a bit when I saw it, but then they made that souless awful TV show based off it and it was ruined forever.

I guess I figured you wouldn't like it because you are kind of snarky and sarcastic, and you've said before you don't like Disney.

I know. Kung Fu Panda is so not Jocelyn.

I'm not depressed at all. I was being sarcastic. And I do find the idea of being a lawyer cool.

Wow, so, it looks like I’m going to end up a divorced Wal-Mart employee, taking anti-depressants. Who knew the path to being a lawyer was so treacherous? Anyway, to respond to Clara, it’s not like I hate the idea of being a lawyer and am only doing it for the money. The job itself is somewhat appealing as well. It actually seems like a job I would like. It will probably be business law I go into since I’m taking an Economics degree at Brock, and seeing as I find the economics courses interesting I’m sure I would be quite content as a business lawyer. It’s not as awesome maybe as being a videogame designer, but it’s a lot more practical. Also, may I say that I find the concept of working 9-5 every day and not making much money demoralizing in and of itself. If I’m going to put in all that time, I want to at least have some money to show for it.

It comes from Shakespeare, and has become a frequently used insult in our house. I earned it by calling Lydia Inquisitor Hobo.
