wow, hahaha! that was quite a while ago.. i’m surprised you even remembered
i went on hiatus right after prom so i guess this will be my month-late spaz out about prom LOL
LE-OMG DE PROM! <— my attempt at french’ing. LOL it was uber amounts of fun and everyone was so purty purty purty. :D at first i felt totes awk because LOL prom is so out of my element and i was like
man i should’ve taken up on his offer
LOL that sounds so sketchy… ‘his offer’ meaning a friend of mine told me that if brought my ap books to prom, he’d sit down with me and help me study… party animals yeuuuhboi
but prom was all sorts of fantabulous! walking a mile in five inch heels, whoop whoop! i’m sure it was more painful watching me than it was for me crawling along. LOL getting my irish jiggy on, running everywhere because i was so cray, watching dance offs and saying in my head i could totes do that (OMG COMPLETE JK if i tried, prom would become an emergency room because i would break all 206 bones in my body)
thanks for letting the baby juniors (now seniors crey) tag along with you seniors (now freshman double crey)! i had a crazy all sorts of fun with you guys and i’ll devote a proper post to this.. but looking back.. i’m gonna miss y’all so, so, so much… triple crey
thanks to sailesh for making me a lucky girl! we had the most swag, no doubt ;)
and to my anon, ZOMG THANK YOU HAHA. :D :D i like looking back at happy happy memories
tomorrow’s the last day of exams for me
FINALLY ZOMG i’m gonna cry tears of intense joy after everything’s done tomorrow
i’ll be even happier than when i found a friend’s yearbook that i lost AND I WAS ALREADY SPAZZING MY BRAINS OUT (those of you who saw me that friday afternoon can testify)
so to those who have alternate exams — TWO. MOAR. DAYS.
AND THEN PUT YO’ HANDS UP LOSE YOUR VOICES AND PARTY
(but i’m actually really really extremely beyond nervous but trying this confidence thing out LOL)
also
y’know that feeling when your heart is just so full of love you feel like you could burst and you just clench your fists because you don’t know what to do with them (obviously not punch anyone LOL) and you feel like your smile is bigger than your face and djhaf;8wer;aoishdfa;sdf
that’s me haha
so i’m off to bed before i start second guessing myself and then psyching myself out—

GO TO SLEEP
hey i’m a potato
and i’m in gravy
well here’s a spoon
so eat me maybe
— Thaonhi
—-
Alright, this is a brief poetic verse written by the renowned Thaonhi Cung. I believe that the beauty in this work arises from its complexity within its simplicity. Cung embodies this style, as can be frequently seen in her other works. There is always another layer to her work, rendering it impossible to fully understand the meaning and application of it.
“Hey I’m a potato”
While at first this line appears to just be a proclamation of her status as being a potato. But as we delve deeper, we see the hidden meanings and rhetoric in the work. Cung strategically chooses the word ‘hey’ to start off the line, adding an element of modern language to the work. This entire work is written in a poetic, yet conversational manner. She maintains this with customary transitional words, such as ‘and’, ‘well’, and ‘so’. These words are only used in the vocal aspect of language, and Cung takes advantage of their unique purpose to create this conversational tone.
“And i’m in gravy”
The characterization of being a potato in the previous line plays in here. The gravy is a metaphoric expression of capitalist situation and conditions. Whatever the metaphoric meaning of the potato is, it is being amplified by the gravy. The gravy adds value to the potato, and makes it more desirable. Cung is modeling our society, and how we put capitalist value on certain characteristics and traits. The gravy in this case is just one example of how we will be attracted to certain things that add value.
“well here’s a spoon”
Cung is alluding to our industrial society, and our ability to make tools to aid us. The spoon is a human-crafted tool that makes it significantly easier to consume the potato in gravy. Another key characteristic that isn’t obvious to detect, is how she it makes it sound like the reader is being handed the spoon. This is playing on the idea that our society and race as a whole has been advancing and evolving over time, and we all start off farther than the people before us.
“so eat me maybe”
This line is probably the most complex and beautiful line of the entire piece. Cung accurately models the flawed mindset of many individuals. Despite extremely ideal conditions, the potato in gravy, and the spoon, there is a still a question as to whether the potato should be consumed. Cung’s playful tone in this line suggests a hint of sarcasm in the uncertainty. While we will never know for sure, we can infer that based on her successes and endeavors, she would encourage people to achieve their dreams with hesitation, and to jump at the opportunities they are given, such as the potato and the spoon.

hallo friendsies!
i has a euro question, as indicated from my title. and it’s probably a pretty basic fundamental concept i should probably know meep, but i don’t. thus, i’m asking! :D
in context of the french revolution, i don’t really understand what “parlement” is. what’s the difference between “parlement” and “parliament?” i googled both the terms and it says that ‘parliament’ is the legislature, and ‘parlement’ is the discussion? i think that’s the general definition. but more specifically, “parlement” is the political institutions, legislative and judicial, during anciens regime in france. it was the “courts of justice and tribunals with certain political functions varying from province to province and as to whether the local was written and Roman, or customary common law.”
:O can someone clarify / confirm?
i’m a derpy derpy derp XD
today, while walking out of lunch with my friendsies, josh stepped on the back of my shoe. nbd, i retaliated and kicked his backpack. and i intentionally missed, nbd. completely nbd, bro, nbd.
so he followed me and continually stepped on the back of my shoe. you’d think that with the size of my shoe in comparison to his, his shoes would be an impossible target to miss, right? you would be wrong. just like i was. -__-
thus ensued me chasing josh down the hallway looking like an elephant with only three legs because i would gracefully stomp, stomp, stomp… and miss. T__T
josh ran away, and i decided, hey, i’m gonna be the better man ;). and so i stopped and conversed like any normal person with kristi and justine. josh came back, and joined in our completely civilized chat. but of course, i had to take of this rare opportunity — unaware josh. i precisely calculated the best possible angle to crash my foot on his (using insane trigonometry accurately calculated using the calculator installed in the back of my eye otherwise known as my brain), and my foot sprung, targetting his toe.
or intending to target his toe.
you guessed it — i missed.
and i stomped on his shin.
whoops.
sorry, josh! if it bruises, josh, let me know and i’ll bring you ice! LOL obviously, josh was the better man ;), and in all honestly, i’m glad he is… because i’m a girl. just y’know, btw.
derp
