First off, I need to thank all my English teachers. Sometimes I may stumble but for the most part I think you did a pretty good job. That being said, I am posting something I saw on Facebook. I'm not sure if it is even English, yet all the people posting are from the United States. The picture is missing but apparently it is about some basketball/romance movie. After reading this my brain feels like scrambled eggs. "nikey" really? I think my fav is "Double or nuffin!!..." and on that note - I'm out. Enjoy the chaos below...

Sorry I just had to vent
Hello lady,
Yes you, the one in the compact car that doesn’t seem to realize that the entrances into establishments are designed for the flow of traffic, one side for those leaving and one side for those entering. You happen to be right smack in the middle. I know you can’t hear me but I know you can see me. You looked over after hearing all the cars behind me honking. I am trying to enter but it seems that I have to wait for you to try to make an illegal left turn. I do not really want to drive into that gas station and pay $4.56 a gallon, but I need to, and I don’t appreciate waiting on your lazy ass. I know you can see me and hear all the horns honking but it’s too much effort for you to back up and pull over to your side. So sorry if I expect you to follow the rules and be considerate, I guess I forgot the world revolves around you.

Books for young adults
I was speaking with a friend and we got on the topic of books for “young adults”. Later, my friend wrote to me and said “Have you read the Eregon series? I haven't but the boys loved them”
My reply was –
Another plagiaristic nightmare. Have them try Anne McCaffrey’s “Dragonriders of Pern” series. Christopher Paolini stole so much from her books. The Eregon series was okay, but McCaffrey tells a great story and develops characters you end up falling in love with. They were some of my favorite books as a kid.
The Ender's Game series was another of my favorites. I read them again as an adult and was blown away. When I was young I enjoyed the story, as an adult it kind of reminded me “A Clockwork Orange”. They suggest very hard questions. “Orange” asks if it right to take away someone’s free will if society deems them unacceptable. “Ender” as a series, has much more to think about. Is it right to commandeer children as soldiers (very relative now since the whole Kony story has been in the news). Is it right to exterminate a different form of life without trying to understand them first, just because we are afraid (also very poignant as we human continue to fight over things like race and religion).
Back to the plagiarism thing. If anyone would like to see where “Harry Potter” originated, read John Bellairs “The House With a Clock in Its Walls”. It’s a story about a young man who is orphaned, goes to live with his uncle (who is a wizard/ his best friend is a witch). When he goes to his new school, he befriends a boy with red hair and freckles who comes from a poor home and has a bunch of siblings. They then befriend a girl who is unpopular but quite smart. Together, they defeat an evil being. Sound familiar? The original was illustrated by Edward St. John Gorey, who in my opinion was fantastic.
Unfortunately, all three of the authors I have mentioned have passed, Mr. Gorey as well. We will not see anything further from them, but they left us with a spectacular repertoire.
