The List of Lists

Today I decided to try out this new-fangled list idea that everyone has been talking about...then found I had nothing to make a list.  Therefore, I found that making a list of the 8 best lists in the class might encourage others to follow this magnificent trend:

8. The Silence of Society-Cat Cashy
This revealing post shows how little our society communicates with one another face-to-face.  This shockingly disturbing exposition shows how much we can accomplish in silence, which may not always be a good thing.

7. Qualities of a Good Leader-Lizzy Burl
Burl applies the known qualities of a good leader to McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.  Although he was "crazy" enough to have a lobotomy, he knew how to lead his people.

6. Some Days You're the Bird, Some Days You're the Statue-Meghan Shroyer
Meghan lists the highs and lows of AP English class.  Her humor shines through, as I find all these things easy to relate to...and disturbingly accurate.

5. "Insanity" in everyday life-Emily Helwig
In this post are quotes from people in Emily's life who have used the word "insane."  It depicts how it is quite overused, but paradoxically versatile.  It truly makes us question the true meaning of insanity.

4. The Awkward-Sarah Greenlaw
Greenlaw asseerts the overuse of the word "awkward" in our teen culture, which I had also notice before reading her blog.  But sometimes you "gotta just bite the bullet" and admit that things can be awkward sometimes.  Her list of incredibly awkward situations made me laugh out loud...making another awkward moment for me and the others in my computer room.

3. Simultaneous Disappointment-Mariel McGuiness
Some of you may have heard of this post from the Blog Banter, but even though I was cracking up in class, it did not give this blog enough justice; Mariel's humorous and somewhat depressing situations are comparable to The Office.

2. The Wonders of Winter-John Shoemaker
John makes me feel less guilty about the Winter Blues.  I knew right off the bat that this had to be high on my list of lists because his halarious list starts off with a bang: Winter is darker than Chase's beard.  I'll leave that as a cliff-hanger for you all to go check out this wondrous list.

1. A Slient Language-Carly Cott
Carly's list of interpretations of body language is not only insightful, but also interesting and keen.  I liked learning about this because I feel that many people misinterperet body language for something it is not.  I encourage you all to go see Carly's list along with the rest of these fabulous interpretations of a blog assignment!
