One word i didn't know in the text was resilient, it means, able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.

If it’s still boring, do it for eight minutes, then sixteen, and so on. Eventually you discover that it’s not boring at all. If part of my research isn’t interesting to me — like the Dardanelles campaign for Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill — I read a whole book about it, and then it becomes absorbing.

"Television really does make you less lonely, say scientists "
the order of the information in the article "Television really makes you less lonely" is structured by cause and effect. the authers tone in this article is iterest toward the topic. i beleive the auther is somewhat suprised by the findings. the article is about how tv can make you feel less lonely. you are more likely to watch your favourite shows when your lonely and it makes you feel less lonely. A study found that people in need of social acceptance train themselves to read more queues from facial expressions. " Lonely people may be able to make stronger connections with TV shows and TV characters than people who already have a lot of people in their lives. A deprived person gets more of a social kick from imaginary characters." this quiote from the article supports the main idea, its also my life in a nutshell. to me this article means lonely people ,like me and everyone else on tumblr, can watch tv and feel less lonely. the tv can be your best freind

random post
i behind in class apparently so im currently multi-tasking right now blogging, doing collage work, and watching the premiere of Hot Set on ScFy. and now my stomach is growling at me because i didn't eat a Katie's house. we had to much homework to do and i was helping her with geometry. im surprised i could help her understand i guess my manga high app on Google chrome actually helped
we also worked on our public speaking outlines. i went to the dentist yesterday and i saw a lion. i took a picture with it and said "squalls (one of my role plays) on a lion!" the dentist laughed and they kept asking me questions about my bracelets, like how long it took me to put them on in the morning and i told them i didn't. they asked what i meant and i said that i never took them off, that i showered and slept with them on.
i just finished watching hot set and i turned it on discovery.... and abandoned is on! woohoo! its party time..... tumblr fandom style.
class time
im going over to Katie's today to work on our public speaking outlines. we have to write two speeches an acceptance and presenting award. i got the tumbler award.... because im always on tumblr. the award is basically a Pepsi bottle painted tumblr blue with white highlights with a white cardboard t on the top of it. i get the award because when the dash crashed i was still blogging when they took away the notes i was still blogging and at the end of the universe i will still be blogging. my message to tumblr is: if this is your way of trying to get us outside and get a life, you tried.
Katie got an award for being able to handle her insane sisters. she has 3 little sisters and two of them are twins but they are fun to be around sometimes. every time they see me they start meowing (because of my name) and Katie can make them quiet almost instantly, its amazing. her award is a certificate with a ribbon and everything and im going to draw a picture of Katie surrounded by Emily Gracie and Abby. its gonna be awesome.
