End of First Game Apr 20, 2009
So I was evicted on my second time up for nomination.  It was kinda crappy making it that far in the game, 6th place, and not finishing it out but I was proud for making it that far on my first try. Congrats to the final four...I'm Rooting for you all but hoping Candyloo gets a win on her first time playing.  GOOD LUCK guys.

First Game-Sixth/Seventh/Eighth Nominations Apr 20, 2009
So I once again forgot to post for a few days.  Unfortunately I was nominated on Day 6 and against my friend CybeleMs and he was sent home that day.  I safely made it through Day 7 but once again I'm nominated on Day 8.  I hope i get to make it through to the finals tomorrow.  It would be great to make it to the last day in my first game.  Well good luck to Candyloo and Dragonfly who are my fellow nominees

'Proper' English Apr 18, 2009
Hello all, sorry for this but I’m feeling the need to rant and rave but not about Tengaged.  Earlier today I was having a discussion with one of my friends about proper speech and the way that people misuse the English language.  The discussion started because I’m from Philadelphia and I use the word Yous a lot and it irks her.  So this prompted an argument about what is the proper way to address a group of people.  For her You is the only acceptable way and she was arguing that everyone should learn ‘proper’ English.  I was arguing that the purpose of spoken language is to communicate and nothing else.  I was trying to make the distinction between spoken language and written language and she wasn’t seeing the difference and it was really annoying to try and have an argument about ‘proper’ English when she wouldn’t acknowledge that there was a big difference between the goals of spoken and written language.
