Colloquial Diction and the Race for the House Cup

Alright, party people. Who else feels like this school year they are bound to shrivel up in an anti-social, black hole of dark nothing-ness? (yes, the redundancy is necessary)

Ooo! Ooo! Definitely me, I'm raising my hand, yeah this girl, right here!

What is this? Only the first week of school and already over ten hours of homework on a weekend?!?! Hellllooooo, junior year!

So this is basically me right now, avoiding my hauntingly consuming AP Language and Composition homework after putting in ten hours already, by blogging. Lame, right? I'm avoiding composition homework by writing...oh the irony... But hey, this is me venting and basically talking to a computer screen via a keyboard. Thus being, I'm allowed to get away with any grammatical errors and/or any speech that is highly colloquial (vocab word! Yes! 10 points to Ravenclaw! Or whatever house I'm in*....I'm a hobo according to some...just kidding).

But I guess it doesn't matter too much. I mean, I only get about a max of about 12 views per blog post I write anyways; half of them are probably just myself trying to see if it posted alright - I keep forgetting to turn off the setting that won't track my own views. Ha..ha...

Well this was greatly helpful. I hope you enjoyed my entirely pointless rant and use of poor diction (another 10 points! Take that Hufflepuff!)Ok. Bye.

Mission: (De)cap-accino

Your mission, comrades, if you choose to accept it, is to bring down the town's most popular coffee shop! The very shop that mocks my dream from the corner of Main and 4th Avenue. My dream of brewing up lattes and frappaccinos to the lovely, caffeine-addicted citizens of this fine town in my corner stop coffee shop filled and decorated with my knick-knacks and trinkets that I will have collected from around the world.

But YOU, my wonderful minions are my arms and legs. It is your help that I need to make this dream a reality! With the current shop gone, it will provide the glorious, long-awaited opportunity to create my own artistic, wi-fi hotspot in a prime, central location!

Upon acceptance of said mission, you will be outfitted with code names and be briefed on the coded-language based on terms in British slang (I.e. "brilliant," "smashing," "chap," "cheerio," "wicked," etc.

This processes may take years to complete but the future of its success rests in your hands! Now go! Bring down that establishment and all its robust goodness! We will stand superior to all other cafes! Indeed we will! We will rise!
