Daingerous Days

No, no, no. I'm not here to rant about grammar. I know I'm not perfect with it 100% of the time myself, it's just sometimes I get a little edgy.

Maybe I'm being snooty about the whole thing, but if people put half as much thought into their spelling and grammar as they do into their clothing, they would look half as stupid on the internet and at school or work. It's actually rather surprising, seeing how much of the internet is still text-based interaction, that people haven't made grammar more of a priority.

ML...JK, I Have a Proposal

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, all you Americans! Today, we celebrate one of the men who was at the forefront of the civil rights movement in the 1960's, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. If anything, you know him from his "I Have A Dream" speech or his "Letter from Birmingham Jail". If you're unfamiliar with either of those, I highly, highly recommend that you read them. King was a masterful rhetorician as well as a civil rights activist and father, and anybody can benefit from studying the words that he left behind.

But actually, I'm not going to talk about MLK today. I could easily take an entire blog post to talk about the many messages of Dr. King, as well as the example that he was and is as a man of solid conviction and forward-thinking social reformation. But I think that a blog is not a place for a history lesson, or a discourse on a person, no matter how famous they may be. My aim here on DAiNGER! is to entertain, and while some of you might find my thoughts on Dr. King interesting, I'm going to venture a guess that most would not.

Your Friendly Bar of Soap

High time I posted again.  Here I am!

It's the beginning of Spring Break, and I've had a lovely, fun-filled day.  I woke up at 6:09am because my roommate was snoring.  I squeaked the door of our mini-fridge, which always stops her snoring, then went back to bed and woke up again at 9, when somebody loudly knocked on the door.  I gave up on sleeping after that and took a shower instead, starting my intensely mellow Saturday.

For breakfast?  Seven Chips Ahoy! cookies (White Fudge Chunky Chips Ahoy, to be exact).  Then I sat down and have hardly gotten up since.  I've been watching Tron, cruising Facebook, writing things, eating cookies and Redvines, basically having the greatest Saturday of my life.  The only great part is that I have yet to interact with another human being today, but I'm sure that will happen before the day is through.

It's about to rain.  I can tell because of the smell that's leaking in through my open window: fresh, damp, and clean.  Rain.  If somebody could bottle the smell of the air before rain, I would wear it as a perfume.  That is not a lie.
