Pet Peeves

There are a plethora of things that I cannot seem to stand in the slightest
And these things always tend to happen around each other.

I will have one thing happen and then later... an hour or whatever... another will occur. They come in groups and maneuver around each other.
For instance... I have always been told that old men in hats were found in a number of studies to be the worst drivers in the world. So now it seems that every time I get stuck behind someone who doesn't put on a turn signal it is an old man in a hat.

I dont know why the concept of not turning on a turn signal bothers me but I do know that it pisses me off greatly. Its like "HELLO! Do you know care about the people around you? You just cut me off and then got mad at me for not letting you in? Hmm wonder why perhaps because you couldnt be bothered to signal and I didnt know you wanted in. Its not my bad that you suck at driving."

English Class

There is a particular fear of mine,
that you might know,
of saying things and dreading them after.

It happens on occasion,
like at my best friends wedding,
when you think it will work,
and it doesnt.

Sometimes you think that no one will notice,
and others it sticks,

In this particular case I feel like I have officially singled myself out as
the youngest
most immature
unintelligent
individual
in the room.

I know that that isnt necessarily true.
but at the same time it is that feeling that is present more than anything

It has significant following and builds
fluently through the embracement of the lac of mainstream.

I am asked to write about an article, and about a school.
My school experience and it seems as though the only ones I could write about
is highschool, where it seems as though the idea of writing or even mentioning high school
in this class is vito.
Which is ironic because this class is about stepping outside the traditional bylaws of education.
Oppression of the Pedagogy by Paolo Friere.
Pushing out ward and questioning why there are such boxes or concrete concepts of what we should or should not do.


  • A- Alex just said that he was a bit younger then her but he felt the same
  • and I yelled ouch, not thinking, and rebekah hit me, Embrassed slightly
  • Other - Hi rebecca
  • A - I feel more socially awkward and self-conscious everytime I enter this class
  • OTher - Why's that
  • A - my self confidence diminishes. I just feel like I do not know as much as I should. I shouldnt have said anything an dI did. another agist mistake
  • OTher - I'm probably not going to do many of the readings. I hardly have time
  • A - Thats not what I mean. I mean that I have less experience than the seasoned people in this room the ones who have had more experience with Jake and with Engl
  • Other - You've had a lot of exp with Jake haven't you
  • A - I dont know. My shell is cracking. but whatever. I dont mind being the nerd at the back of the class
  • Other - Your shell is cracking? Jeeze amy, a couple more lines and you've got quite the poetic piece there.
  • A - Im emotionally detached. You should know that by now. Perhaps not. No one really knows just Amy. But never the less, the words are bitter and dramatic
I feel as if I am in high school again.
Sitting near the end.
I just write the way I write... being put on the spot frightens me.

I am sorry that things on etsy have not been updated but I am going to do that now, and I look forward to all comments about the reviews when they are posted.

Etsy Review - #5) OhFudgeStore

Fifth review is for OhFudgeStore

OhFudgeStore has been opened, or the user name was created, since April 2008.
The store has had 338 sales/buys and has a rating of 100% positive.
And the location is in the Pacific Northwest!

The Fudge was in a padded envelope and was safe and secured in one piece. The container is resealable which is handy, especially since I can't eat that much sugar in one sitting. Aha! there wasn't any special wrapping or additions but it wasn't necessary as the fudge spoke for itself.

All in All the shipping/packaging receives a 5/5

The Fudge I ordered was a Buttercreme fudge and was absolutely to die for. Now I dont buy fudge often because of how sweet it was but this was definitely worth the wait time for shipping. Although it did have its fair share of sugar, it was still not too sweet which was extremely important because if the flavor is too much ro the sugar is too much then it just doesn't not taste good. This was damn good fudge, I highly recommend it!!

Taste scores a whopping 5/5.. if it could be more, realistically, then it would be.

I actually didn't have a long conversation with the contact from the shop but they were up front and honest and took the time with the fudge. Although they made it right away, the contact didn't want to ship it out right after in case it would have been sitting in the post office all weekend. So I was sent a message saying they were going to wait till Monday and I really respect the thought in that. If it had sat in the post office all weekend long, especially in this heat we are having, it would have done something wrong to the Fudge. I can only imagine how separated and gross the Fudge could have been and I am thankful it made it to me in one yummy piece.

Whether or not the big box was necessary I do not know but I do appreciate it because it allowed room for cushion. And we all know that banana fragments are not the same as banana chips! So hurray!

The chips were not too hard but also not soft which is perfect.
The banana flavor wasn't too strong or too light and so they were awesome! A lot better than the bulk ones you can get at your local Extra Foods so they rocked!
A definite 5/5~!

The shop contacted me almost immediately and said that they appreciated what I was doing in the month of august! Which is almost. And when the shop contact realized how much it would cost to ship they contacted me first to double check that this was still ok! And that rocks! Thanks for being so considerate. I appreciate it. And I love the chips.

The box was the standard shipping box that we have been seeing a lot of in my house for the last few days and it was stuffed to the brim with marshmallows, no space wasted which I am really happy with. That box was definitely used well for once aha! There was a nice little wrapping and a thank-you card so....

These are possibly the best marshmallows I have ever had. That being said I am not a fan of some of the flavors on their own. Although I do not like the coffee or cotton candy/bubble gum or caramel flavors they mimicked their concepts almost identically. The coffee smelt and tasted like a cup of Tims, and the Caramel looked great and tasted like caramel. The Cotton Candy kind of tasted like bubblegum but that is alright. Didnt taste bad.
The Pina Colada was the best BEST BEST! I also loved the Lime and Raspberry.
But omg... go get some.. Pina Colada!
And they were individually wrapped, labeled and and and they were extremely soft and yummy!
A definite 5/5~~!!!

The contact was extremely friendly and got back to me in an extremely timely manner. I really appreciate the friendly and outgoing manner I was contacted in. Every one of the marshmallows were individually wrapped and labeled which made my life easier! And And And!! I got a thank-you note.

And I conned Alex into trying them all! His fave was also the pina colada but he also liked the Coffee.. it freaked him out how well the flavors mimicked the actual identity. Well done indeed!! If you made something so good that Alex tried it, then it can only be awesome!
