Yearbook quotes

Luckily yearbook quotes aren't such a big thing in South African schools. 

But here are a few from probably America:

- "I don't like it when people call me a dumb blond. It gets on my pet peeves."

- "Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?" (Just, how? The person who said this, the person who wrote it down, the person who typed it. Proofreading anyone? Don't mind if I don't.)

- "I like to listen to 'The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round' when I'm driving because I can relate to it." 

- "I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me. Like, oh great, now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle."

And my favourite: 

"No." 

Do students not understand the concept of giving a quote that will appear beneath your yearbook photo? "No." Okay well that says enough. 'Merica.

Top 15 tweets of all time

Here is a list of my all time favourite tweets that I have come across on twitter in no specific order:

1. With great Walkie Talkies comes great response ability.
2. When I have to dig to the very bottom of the washing powder to find that little plastic scoop it's like, could life BE any more unbearable?
3. Sometimes I use the word "rad" because I'm a skateboarder in 1988.
4.  If you are going to video record a movie in the theatre for me to later download illegally, do it properly!
5. Why are shout outs always massive?
6. No, just regularcalifragilisticexpialidocious.
7. If you pull a lizard's tail off, it will grow back. If you pull it off again, the lizard will be like "dude."
8. "Oh don't worry, I GOT THIS" - My dog anytime someone walks by the house. Or when the wind blows. Or just because.
9. "Hitler" has 6 letters. Obama's mom’s cousins’s uncle’s dad’s high school football coach’s sons’s fish’s name has 6 letters. OBAMA IS HITLER.
10. A parrot's existential angst: finding the answer to who is a pretty boy.
11. Outside Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martins' house.....it's getting cold...still no big announcement from Apple...fingers crossed though.
12. Slippers made out of Lego so that when you step on Lego you just get taller.
13. Has batman ever played baseball? His name implies he might be good at it, he should give it a try.
14. Riots? Whatever. Injustice? Whatever. Terrorism? Whatever. Ben Affleck cast as Batman? Noooooooo!
15. Who let the owls out?? DON’T SING THE CHORUS YOU’LL MAKE IT WORSE!

Ek neem 'n kort kursus in Kreatiewe Skryfkunde. Ons is nege studente in die klas en nou die dag het ons 'n oulike aktiwiteit gedoen. Almal moes op 'n stuk papier 'n klompie sinne neerskryf, enige iets wat jy aan kan dink. Daarna moes almal hul verskillende sinne uitskeur en toe is dit verdeel onder mekaar. Dan sit jy met paar verskillende mense se verskillende sinne. Die opdrag is toe om 'n gedig daaruit te maak. Jy mag een sin herhaal, een nuwe sin byvoeg en jy moes 'n titel uitdink. Hier is die resultaat:

Dadels

Soos ’n hanswors op die grond staan hy op sy knieë voor haar

Jy is die dadels in my slaai

Ek slurp die inspirasie soos moedersmelk

’n Waterval vloei uit my pen

Die druppels sprankel soos ’n see diamante in die blik van die son

Veters vlieg om die hekke van my vere

Soos ’n hanswors op die grond staan hy op sy knieë voor haar

Not too shabby hey Nige?
