Writer's Block: Are you incentivized?

I don't know if this counts but I LOATHE the usage of "You're gay." as an insult. Since when - and how  - is that a decent comeback? By using the word in that way you're making it derogatory and symbolizing that it stands for something bad or annoying.

Such as also when people say ___ is so gay. Same thing. You're making it seem like it's a terrible thing and putting sexuality on an object - how is that right or even remotely make any sense?

It's such a commonly used phrase in schools nowaday and I hate all that it stands for and means. I wish we'd all go back to 'Cool beans.' :p

Yeah I'm getting really sick of hearing it every damn day at school. And the guy above me obviously thinks he's some cool shit. :p

It was sickening when I was in high school; it's a bit better now that I'm in university, in that the professors actually know why the problem is a problem and are willing to be a bit more "uhh, no, shut up" than my high school teachers ever were. Bright light at the end of the tunnel, or something like that!

He's some sort of shit, that's for certain.

Well that's good! At least they pay attention to what's said and try to do something about it. Here at school I have one maybe two teachers that really try to crack down on students that say it - that and 'retarded.' Another one of my peeves. :p

I love your icon, by the way! :]
