Elizabeth's Blog Post #12

EElizabeth's English Blog #12 

By: Elizabeth Crotts


        Have you ever thought it would be cool to read others' minds? Whenever you were asked, "What type of superhero power you would want?" Did you say "telekinesis?" Well, today I shall grant you that power! This blog is about all the random thoughts I had this week. Just a warning, things are about to get WEIRD!! 

  • Why is cereal only considered a breakfast food? It can be lunch, dinner, or even dessert depending on what brand you choose. For those of you who like raisin bran, I think you are committing a cereal crime. As well as cinnamon toast crunch (CTC) is my favorite kind of cereal.
  • How big is a whale's tongue? I don't have an explanation for this thought, I just kind of wondered about it.
  • How was mayonnaise invented? Did someone wake up one day and decide whipping eggs and cooking oil was a good idea?
  • Why can I not think of any good blog ideas? Okay, that was rhetorical, people!
  • How come we don't teach Latin in school? Isn't it the trunk of the tree of languages? I feel like knowing Latin would make learning about other languages and cultures much easier to understand. 
  • Why do we let a round box with numbers in it control when it's appropriate to do things?
  • Why do women's pants still not have enough pockets? It is 2023, and we have fought for the right to be educated and to vote. Why aren't we protesting the fashion industry about pockets instead of beauty standards? Just saying pockets are more helpful and affect people's everyday lives.

        Ok, I think I am done with sharing the odd, uncoordinated thoughts in my brain for the internet to judge. Hopefully, this made you feel a little less crazy. P.S. Mom and dad do not send me to an insane asylum. LOL

Elizabeth's Blog Post #20

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #20 By: Elizabeth Crotts   One of my pet peeves is poor grammar. I don’t understand how people have gone far in life without forming a proper sentence. Bad punctuation and spelling bother me so much. I’ve met fully grown adults who don’t know when to use a period. Honestly, if I see grammatical issues or spelling mistakes, I will not hesitate to inform the author. I majority of the time do this respectfully but, sometimes it just blurts out of my mouth in a very blunt manner. My minor pet peeves include people who can’t close a door. Especially if it is in my room. There is no need for you to leave it cracked, just fully close the door. This also applies to windows and cabinets. Another one of my annoyances is when people leave the bathroom while brushing their teeth. I know this one is out of left field but, it just messes me up. You brush your teeth in the bathroom, not the bedroom, not the kitchen, not in your closet. Just in the bathroom...

Elizabeth's Blog Post #10

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #10 By: Elizabeth Crotts   I know my last couple of blogs have been melancholy. So, I hope today’s blog will be more upbeat and jollier. Blog #9 was about fear and how I faced the ones that haunt me. Death is something all of us will come to know when we die. Today’s blog will be about what I plan to do before my senseless body meets a glossy, rectangular, wooden box. Have you ever made a bucket list? I didn’t make a bucket list or a list of future goals until this year. My bucket list is full of silly, ridiculous activities and serious, momentous opportunities. I am the stereotypical traveler who likes to travel to all U.S. states, see the globe, and visit the seven wonders of the world. My personal goals on the list are to graduate from college, have a museum exhibit or gallery of my photography, create a homestead, stargaze on a rooftop, ride a motorcycle, and drive over 100mph. For more of my interest in heights, I want to fly a plane ...

Elizabeth's Blog Post #19

  EElizabeth’s English Blog #19 By: Elizabeth Crotts   Everyone has annoyances and irritating triggers. They are typically produced when we are young by our siblings, parents, neighbors, and even strangers. We all get spontaneously irrational when someone acts or speaks a specific way. Some people hate the word “moist.” Some people hate the sound of Styrofoam or nails on the chalkboard. One of the biggest pet peeves to most people is loud, open-mouth chewing. That’s not one of my pet peeves, but I do find it gross. Just close your mouth, you are not a cow. This food isn’t cud! Moving on from what irritates the general public, I present my pet peeves. My blood does not boil faster than when other people steal my food. Those are fighting actions in my book. It’s MY FOOD. I will even clarify more if you ask for a bite and I respond no. That is my final answer. If you try stealing a French fry, I will bite off your finger and turn it into a fry. Go ahead, ask my family if ...
