Pop open the champagne, human readers. This is my final blog post. Though I've enjoyed discussing my life and random rhetoric and media studies theories taken from Audrey's notebooks, I will not have as much access to a computer next year. I also won't have the ten dollars a month to pay for this blog, because I am a cat and if I did have that kind of money, it would all go towards catnip (which funnily enough, has the same effect on cat brains that cocaine does on humans). Next year, I will be moving to a new apartment with new people (except for Clare, of course), though I'm sure my current roommates will come visit. To mourn the demise of my website, I've decided to take us back to the very beginning of the semester when the benefits of blogging were being discussed.
Rebecca Blood, the author of the article "Power of Blogging," wrote that the two benefits she received from blogging were more confidence in her views and newly discovered interests. Her article was actually what inspired me, a cat, to start keeping a blog. I had a lot of confidence in my voice to begin with, shocking as that seems. Still, having a platform to voice my frustrations was so much nicer than constantly having to vomit on the rug in anger (I only did that once this semester-look how I've improved!). In terms of newly discovered interests, who knew I'd like writing about stuff found in textbooks so much? Definitely not me, but it worked out well for Audrey. Gooodbyeeeee! And good luck and never say hello to me in person, humans.

According to the unfortunately named social penetration theory, relationships become deeper the more you get to know someone. It makes sense that you would get to know more personal, possibly traumatic information about a friend the more time you get to spend with someone. However, if you know anything about me, you know I don't have many friends. To put this to the test, today in interpersonal media Audrey and her class asked and answered a series of questions to people they didn't really know that well. Upon returning to the room, she and Hannah decided to do it instead of working. Because as I have observed time and time again, Audrey and Hannah will do anything to put off homework as long as possible.
Questions they asked each other ranged from who would you invite to dinner to what's your most terrible memory. Because I don't really feel like asking these questions to another person (who wants to hear about someone else!), I've decided to just answer them for my readers. 1. Name something you liked about your partner immediately. Well, I like everything about myself. I have soft fur, a great personality, and a swishy tail. Next! 2. What's your relationship like with your mother? My cat mom is out in the world doing her thing. My human mother Clare worships me. She's occasionally frustrated by my pawing at the door and demanding to go into the hall, but she usually obliges. Eh, I'd say we're swell. 3. What's your perfect day look like? It starts with me on a golden canopied cat bed. At my feet is a bowl of human tears. My roommates fan me with giant leaves. I get an endless supply of catnip. Steve Buscemi comes over. We all dance around to Beyonce who arrives for an impromptu concert because I'm such a huge fan. There's a movie marathon of 80's blockbusters. Finally, I eat sushi until I am as large as a furry balloon. Then I sleep for twelve hours. If you have any more questions, leave them in the comments. I'm bored. |
MeI want to live my life like Steve Buscemi in Fargo. Some other idols I have include Garfield and Beyonce. Archives
