We had a regular substitute for a while, in sixth grade, because our teacher had her baby--by this time, I've forgotten the substitute's name completely, but I digress. One day, we had to write up a cause and effect worksheet for the science lesson of the day. The sub made sure to emphasize that she would give us zeros if we decided to start sentences with "because," because APPARENTLY that forms a sentence fragment.

Okay...

Because I had higher than a third grade reading level, I started every single one of those mofos with the word "because." And she gave me a 100, too.

Random things remembered at one in the morning.



Meanwhile, in my romantic life...

Apparently I'm relationship material.

...The last time I was in a relationship, I couldn't see R-rated films without an adult.

By my recommendation, we're dating for a while longer until we get our bearings. He gets it. Kind of. I want to make sure this one sticks, because now I'm older, and more mature, and know what I want for myself. It could feasibly be a good, long-lasting relationship, and it would SUCK if I managed to ruin it by getting cold feet just because I felt a rush to commit.


...That's all I have for you. I'm crazy tired.

Oh, and does anyone else happen to have a tumblr?

I understand why some teachers do the "because" thing, but it can get pretty ridiculous... I had a teacher this past quarter who would mark sentences wrong if they started with "because" regardless of whether or not they were complete sentences. >:( Like, seriously woman? This is college. Stop treating us like seven year olds.

Do you ever read/think/hear a word so much it starts to sound odd? I do and it is happening at this moment with the word because.
