Blame Someone Else Week. Topic 1) God Doesn't Make Mistakes: - By Me
I'm sick of a lot of people comparing themselves to other people. And then some get mad at me for being such an optimist. Wanna know my secret to finding happiness? Don't compare yourself to others! God made you one way for a reason, so everyone is beautiful. Just because your face and figure don't conform to "American" standards of beauty doesn't mean that you're ugly. In fact, I've never met a physically ugly person. (I'll let you know if I do, ok?)
Some advice in closing: Embrace your differences...I mean, they're what set you apart (duh). Take what you've been given, and go with it. You're never gonna be Jennifer Connelly, Shakira, or even Carson Daly (I'm talkin' to you males, too!). They're not all that impressive anyway. Life is what you make of it. So make it happy! You're beautiful! Topic 2) A Little Article: - By Val
OK, I'm on the Excalibur (newspaper) staff at school and I pretty much just design ads and put in pictures. (It's not my fault they come out dark or faded; that's the printer's problem.) There are a lot of things about the newspaper and the staff that get on my nerves. Here are just a few things:
1) When all the editorials start out "When I started this editorial I wasn't sure what to write about." The point of an editorial is expressing an opinion that you care about, not having to think up something to babble about!
2) The miss-spellings and grammatical errors. There are 3 editors who should catch this stuff.
3) You can't review a book you didn't finish reading!
4) They tell me I'm putting the pictures in wrong just because they don't understand what I'm doing, and thus end up screwing up my work. (I know it's not perfect, but at least I'm trying!)
5) The attitude on the upcoming paper of my story is too short-- well, to that I say, fill up the space with an ad . . . But wait, they didn't sell any ads to put in those spaces! (Don't be surprised if there are blank spaces in the Feb. paper) Topic 3) A Word to All Seniors: - By Jacquie
As we all know, senior year is fast approaching its end, and like most other time-honored traditions of parting and moving on, there are certain measures that need to be taken in order to reach closure about an era that will soon be over. And what better way to do this than through a Senior will, where you, of sound body and mind, bequeath (look it up in the dictionary if you don't know what it means...) all earthly possessions to your loved ones. And, since it is a time-honored tradition of the school newspaper to suck about most things in general, this included, there is a sweeping move to have a "Senior Will" edition of the Litterbox.
So, get together all your earthly belongings and make an eloquently written list of all the people to whom you wish to leave your possessions. This is probably one of your better opportunities to make your emotions and gratitude known to a large mass of people, so take the chance while it's here. Write it up, send it in by graduation 2002 (or after, because I know most of y'all are lazy), and read it in what will hopefully be one of the biggest editions of the Litterbox ever.Editor's Note: To those who have already graduated high school, feel free to pretend you're there again, or just give an article about college or "the real world" or something. And to those who are not yet to senior-level yet, do something creative and don't whine about being excluded. Remember, I take every submission. --Cat

http://www.send4fun.com/wantinman.cfm Topic 6) Quote of the Week:
Submitted by Matthew: "Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a candy necklace at the dime store, and that's pretty close." Closing:
Whew. Thanks for all the Girl Scout Cookie orders, everyone. We will be ordering extra, so no need to worry. And if you're not busy Thursday night, come to the Talent Show (7?PM, in the Theater) because I'm in it! Shannon, Stephanie Parlier, and I will be doing our rendition of Faith Hill's "Breathe." And my clothes might even match!
Have a great week y'all!Previous Edition | Next Edition [ Get Involved | Home | Songs | Archives | Quotes | Websites ]
