And the yellow exclamation point swirls again lol. there's a tissue box on my desk. it has dasies on it, but their cool daisies. one side has a purpose daisy with a lime green background. another side a has yellow daisy with a green center on a pink background. another side has a pink daisy on a purpose background. the other side has a white daisy with a yellow center on an orange background. the top of the box is yellow. the rim aroun the bottom is purpose. the tissues are white. my room is pink. i have a canopy bed that is periwinkle (a shade between light blue and light purple, very pretty). i have a hardwood floor that is partially covered by a rug that is pink with flowers on it. i have a chair (like an arm chair) that is tansish brown with flowers on it. i am tired or talkign about my room. the house i live in was built in 1912. i like it. i used to have a purple phone (like a home phone) but now i have a silver one because the purple one died. i liked the purple one though. it was awesome. the silver one is cool too though. whenever someone calls, it says "Call from Rast Henry C" in this wierd robotic female voice, or whoever is calling. sometimes it says "Call from Atlanta G A) like it says the letters G and A. its funny. kinda scared me at first when we first got caller id.

it was like wow the phone is talking to me lol. but now im used to it. its cool kuz if im asleep, i can decide if i want to answer thephone or not, or i canolike hear who's calling if im just like doing something else and figure out if someone else is goign to get it or not. that kind of thing. it is my opinion that the only way to truly teach a class on public speaking is not to have people write outlines of speeches and read textbooks on speeches...it is for them to get up in front of people and speak! every week! thats the only way you get used to it and its the only way you get better at it. reading a book on how to ride a bike or skateboard or something doesn't make you any better when you get out there on the bike or skateboard. you just know in your mind how do it. its like, an art that you have to master through experience, and so i think that in our public speaking class we should have had to get up every week and talk instead of just speaking like four times. in school, i had to get up every week and talk, and i got used it. i was shaking every time i got up there, but i got better and better at until you couldn't even tell i was shaking. and if i ever teach a class on public speaking, thats what i'll do.
