Hello, all. I saw my friend had posted on her blog about a list we had made, and since it wouldn’t let me comment, I decided just to add my own commentary to the entire thing. Why? It’s late, I can, and I don’t want to edit my three-page summary of the Star Trek movie just yet (the newest one that J.J. Abrams directed). Yes, I took notes while watching Star Trek, and I am going to blog about it. I am a nerd. But hey, Star Trek is awesome!
So, my friend's original post will be in black, with my commentary in red.

I am in English Leadership. It is beyond pre-AP, only 8 people in our class, and 6 of them are from my middle school, the GT magnet known as W.A.V.E. Out of the remaining other 2 (left, a few have transferred out) one of them is actually dating a fellow WAVEr and really should have gone to WAVE. Not to mention our teacher is strange, at best. Anyway, one of my good friends, known as HorseGirl on here (that’s me!), and I made this list that describes most of the weird stuff in our class. Mostly her, but I was thinking about doing it, she just beat me to it. I’m cool like that.
Things That Can Only Happen in Leadership English
Things That Can Only Happen in Leadership English
-Your class has 8 people
+6 of which you've known for 3 years
-People give each other nerdy nicknames from Harry Potter or Doctor Who and How to Train Your Dragon
+ Me=Tomato/Strawberry Head
+ Griffin=Witherwings
+ HorseGirl= Umbridge Bane (we were trying to think of a centaur from HP not male but... )
+ Emma= Amelia Pond and Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
-When someone (me... *bows*) brings a HP club form to class, the whole entire class signs and I have already called Head of Slytherin.
-You are told Yellow Peril is coming to eat your children (my racism (yes we each got assigned a topic about racism) was about yellow peril and it was my "interesting introduction"...)
-Everyone is entitled to Zhenya's food
-The entire class is pulled into a "zool" battle between Zena (me, people) and HorseGirl (this story is for another time) XD
-People will spend inordinate amounts of time relaying Doctor Who episodes because Doctor Who is amazing.
-Dr. Fire (that’s his nickname? LawlJ) (We once made an art project for a school-wide advisory competition) throws things at you if you put your head down
-You can break down crying after a suicide video, and everyone is really nice about it, and understands exactly. I was crying right there with you.
-People know what the heck TPSP is
- You learn to shoot rubber bands, from the teacher, and the whole class has an epic rubber band battle
-The word "um" is a personal affront to your intelligence
-"Huzzah" being exclaimed after fixing technical difficulties is normal
-left-handed people are forced to write with their right hand
-your personal computer mouse isn't made fun of out loud.
-Dyeing your hair is considered awesome (considered? There is no considered.)
-Art is made of water bottles. This was in advisory, not English. I, sadly, am not in Dr. Fire’s advisory.
-Technology hates Emma
-All blanks are filled with "fight" Once again, advisory. I’m in choir advisory, and we knew the entire fight song, thankyouverymuch.
-'Sophie Baker' and 'Elena Klein' became 'Zophie Bake' and 'Elan Klien' because;
-YOU MISSPELL YOUR OWN NAME^ You know what? Shut up.
-Lying on the floor, you suddenly hear Witherwings lying mirror from you. Everyone is nap time!
-You (meaning, well, me) during the announcements randomly decide to stare at someone intently, and then stick your tongue out quickly. Which turns into HorseGirl/UmbridgeBane doing it back, which causes Witherwings' gf [nickname to be decided] to look at us funny, causing us to do it to her until it spreads to the whole class. Oops.
-You bless your chairs in the way you learned in theater, the noise you get from sticking your tongue out and blowing... Basically, you make a fart noise.
-When Zhenya asks for a spoon, HorseGirl mentions she gave me a collapsible spork that I carry around in my backpack. When I hunt for the spork -I keep it in my toy packet of my backpack- I end up pulling all the toy dinosaurs out (colorful rubber, 3 large light up, and some glow in the dark ones) along with two hotwheels cars, one a school bus, and the other a DeLorean (yes, from Back to the Future). This prompts the whole class to crowd around my desk and play with them all. Witherwings starts naming all the dinosaurs (no, not Bob, but along the lines of Pterodactyl. Triceratops. ect. ect.) Said dinosaurs were later given to the class as Christmas gifts.
-You discover all psychological issues can be traced back to your mother. Seeing how f-ed up I am, what does that say about my mom?
-Sitting on desks is acceptable and expected
-Laughing at cheesy special effects at making fun of movies is fun, until the teacher returns and the one person left talking is sent to quiet exile
-*looking at report card* Interacts well with others in ape-hug? I never talk in that class! Same for me, but with Geometry.
