My Wordle
This is the wordle I created using a quote from the movie 'Heathers' (1988).
It's a line that a character from the movie, named J.D., says about transfering to different schools across the country. In the scene, he indirectly says that all of the schools are the same with the same types of people.. cliques and everything.
"Seven schools in seven states, and the only thing different is my locker combination."

Opinionated Much?
Read this from theoliviaalo's blog. It's a great opinion editorial by Joel Stein from The LA Time's Opinions section.
"Huge portions of my emails come from people who haven't even read my article. They're just assuming, based on a headline or an excerpt on a blog, that I'm unpatriotic or irreligious or lecherous. Sure, they happen to be right, but it would have been nice if they had clicked on my column and moved me up on that "most-read articles" list.
A lot of email screeds argue that, in return for the privilege of broadcasting my opinion, I have the responsibility to listen to you. I don't. No more than you have a responsibility to read me. I'm not an elected servant. I'm an arrogant, solipsistic, attention-needy freak who pretends to have an opinion about everything. I don't have time to listen to you. I barely have time to listen to me.
Part of the problem is that no etiquette has yet been established for the hyper-interactive world. And I, born before MySpace and email, don't feel comfortable getting a letter and not answering it. And then, if I do, suddenly, we're pen pals, with all those pen-pal responsibilities.
And I don't want a pen pal who already has strong opinions about me. What fun is that? I want a pen pal named Simone who lives in Grenoble and is trying to learn English while I learn French, and teases me with vague promises to visit even though she never does.
So I'm going to establish a new etiquette. I'm asking my editors to build a page on opinion.latimes.com where, instead of emailing me, you can write about how arrogant I am. And maybe on this site, one brave person will write about how I'm right to stand up against this world of false, easy community, where columnists pretend they think their essays are no more valuable than yours, and friendship is a stranger who thanks you for the MySpace add."
