Of Truths and Lies

I just got finished writing the essay for my English class. We were suppose to pick an essay out of the ones that we've read that spoke to us, find a word or phrase to describe the theme, and write a personal experience relating to that theme. Then, taking our personal experience, we find a problem and write an essay addressing both sides of that problem.

I chose lying. My thesis: The worst lies are the ones your parents tell you.

Appropriate, neh?

My favorite line is the last one:
Although some may agree with the statement that the best part of believe is the lie, there is much more value in being the person on the opposite side of the spectrum who believes that lies are unavoidable, but truths are inevitable.

I have never spoken truer words.

There are several things in my essay that I go off on a scholarly rant about. One of them being the following:
Being put into a situation where one feels like the other people involved are undermining his or her intelligence is not a happy scenario, especially if the person being undermined is aware of the blatantly obvious deceit going on in front of them.


This is probably the most annoying thing that anyone could do to another person. I insert a very real story about someone acting like their child is a complete idiot and lies to them to save their own ass. Thus is the passive aggressive way of the Maddie.

In other news, Heroes was fantastic today! I'm a little sad about A.M. dying. (I use initials to make it harder to spoil.) However, I'm glad that Matt is back in the states. :D With his turtle. And...I love that African dude. He totally rocks my socks.
P.P.'s dad is a total douche, although he filled the ever annoying plot gap that was plaguing my very existence! Hooray for now knowing how he got that scar!

Best line: "High five, turtle!" ~Matt Parkman

Oh Matt....you rock my socks and pretty much solidify your spot in the "Dad List" for me. (Btw, the "Dad List" is a list of people to become my dad if my dad were ever to die...which he won't because he's both invincible and immortal. :D)

I think I ran out of things to say for today!

Can't wait for National Novel Writing Month! :D

Until Next Time:
