And Why They're Annoying

If you live in any major metropolitan area, you've probably heard about clown sightings. These little terrorists are not just funny and annoying but also pose as a dangerous threat. They assault strangers and even carry knives and other assorted weapons to perform their ultimate purpose: fucking around. Who even dresses up as a clown? Do these guys (gals?) think they're not scary enough that they have to dress up as clowns and terrorize everyone?

What makes me so angry about these clowns is the fact that they probably don't have jobs and yet STILL bought a clown costume just to mug people on the street and assault children and instill fear into the general populace. Every major city has at least one clown, but they've shown up in smaller cities too. It's almost like they organize themselves to spread fear to a large number of people.

A concerning fact that makes me the most angry is that these criminals who are armed with knives still managed to get themselves arrested. That sounds like a good thing-and it is- but the fact that police can arrest ARMED clowns but shoot unarmed blacks and others for small breaches of law like speeding is simply unacceptable. I mean sure, I'm biased because I hate clowns, but I think there's definitely a big problem in our society today. I would honestly feel so much more in danger in the presence of an armed clown than in the presence of an unarmed black man with his hands up on the side of a car but I mean that's just me.

These clowns are getting a pass from everyone just because they're dressed as clowns. What I hate about clowns is everything about their existence. There was a clown sighting on campus, and honestly I don't have time for a threat to my health when I already have midterms trying to do that exact same thing.

Honestly, I'll just be content if these clowns are just gone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
