Miss Kitty

Good morning, evening, afternoon, whatever time it is for ya'll. *EDIT* Huh. I didn't realize you could post a post with a poll. Nifty! Anyways, I created a poll to see what would interest Reborn more in within my blogs. I really do want to keep up on these, and I really want to share a laugh with you all, no matter the topic (okay, topic does kind of matter, but I am aiming on bettering the blog format so I can better fit pictures and whatnot as well as try to warn users on if they're stumbling into a sensitive topic and whatnot). However, I do want to know what Reborn is interested in reading so that I can begin to direct interests entirely to Reborn itself. Let me know what you would like to read about!! It would certainly help an old cat catch ground again. Be well, Reborn!

Memeology - Not Sure Fry Welcome back to Cat Chat Blogs! Over the next several weeks (maybe months), I aim to study memes and their various meanings. I do this because I had a realization today that I'm not as hip with today's memes like you young whippersnappers. I admit that I'm older than ancient. But that's okay! Today, memeology is determined to explore the popular meme, Not Sure Fry. I took a minute to explore some of the most popular memes on the internet, and some research suggests that Not Sure Fry is 2nd on the list of the most popular memes as of now. If you are unaware of this meme, below is the image of Fry from Futurama that is used for Not Sure Fry. (Not sure if Cat Chat Blogs stole ideas from Cracked or if it's original) This meme certainly does inquire on whether we're sure of the thoughts we have or not. For example, take jars that have peanut butter and jelly mixed in. We can't be sure if there's more peanut butter or more jelly. We can't even be sure if it's even real peanut butter and jelly. But like Fry, we trust that it is indeed peanut butter and jelly. And we also hope that we can get an even spread of the stuff on our bread that crumbles as we try to apply it. I'm not even sure if we're supposed to apply peanut butter first and then jelly. Is there even a proper way of doing this?! Not Sure Fry tends to appeal to stoner millennials who just aren't sure of a lot of things in life. This meme attempts to help them through their struggles by providing at least two options: option 1 and option 2. I am starting to believe that this is a meme that informs people of their beliefs, whether they recognize it or not. One is faced with two options, such as "Is this person trolling or are they just goofing around?" Depending on experience that person has with the person in question, people will opt for one of two answers. If the person is not very well known and is making troll-like statements, people may go with option 1, that this person is just a troll. If the person is well-known and loved, people may go for option 2, but may still think that person is a troll. Who trolls their own friends, really? Me. I troll my most favorite people. (This one requires some thought. One moment...) On the other hand, Not Sure Fry also tends to draw in those who have questions, or thoughts?, that need more complex thinking. The answer for these questions/thoughts doesn't necessarily shine through in our two options. For many, it takes a few minutes to really pinpoint the emotions of the situation to really come to an answer. Like the popular meme, Philosoraptor, Not Sure Fry invites those who can withstand it the opportunity to think critically, but on a more watered-down basis. Not Sure Fry doesn't tend to generate questions/thoughts that require God-like thinking, it's more like first-world-like problems that many people face at least a few times in their life. For example; not sure if tired or needs more coffee. This simple question/thought allows for people to debate on whether or not they should just go to bed, or if they should drink more coffee to stay awake. Then, people weigh the decision on whether or not if what they're doing (or plan to do) is more important than sleep. Most people tend to go for coffee, because we just love that shit. We can sleep when we're dead. Overall, Not Sure Fry swept the internet around 2010, generating thousands of different memes of this variation. Despite being around for so long, it is still one of the most popular memes to use on the internet. Generally, most memes tend to come and go, but Not Sure Fry was able to beat out a lot of the competition. On top of that, Fry is a very memorable, not-so-bright character from the popular Fox TV show, Futurama. This humorous, simple-minded meme is likely to stay in favor of the internet for a few more years to come. (We'll encourage it. For now.) Thanks for reading!

I am back again, with another attempt at finding some kind of hobby to keep myself entertained. This time, I thought I'd give it a go with blogging about random things! Because who doesn't love blogs (especially ones that give the humor feels)? Without further ado, I present the Cat Chat Blog!! Enjoy~ My Curse with Technology When I was a wee kitten, at the soft, tender age of 15, I was presented with my first computer. "Finally! Something to tinker with" I thought as I was setting it up. It was an old, dinky desktop, millions of years old, the 80's version of successful technology. The only problem with it, was that I had to wipe the computer clean and perform an installation of Windows XP every week. Every single week. So it wasn't stable; no biggie. Surely I can keep up on it. My fellow cats (and dogs, I guess), this was the beginning of a terrible downfall-- The beginning of... The Curse. -insert scary music here- (Okay, maybe it's not truly as scary as this, but it's still pretty f'in scary) Eventually, more like a few months after I got the computer, it died. It could not handle being wiped and reinstalled every single week. Mind you, I was still using floppy disks to install Windows. For those of you who may not be old enough to remember floppy disks, they're simply medium-sized square frisbees. You throw them in the air and let your pupminions catch it and play with it; it's a fun game! Anyways, the computer just couldn't handle doing it anymore. So I trashed it and bought a laptop that was actually made within our own generation. Yaay! (Or not, it's cool, whatever. This doesn't mean that my luck with technology isn't bad! It just needs... Work. Right?) Within the first two days of having my brand new laptop, it freakin' broke due to a Windows update! Don't they have safeguards for these kind of things? Apparently not. Luckily, with my handy-dandy tech skills from my previous computer, I was able to uninstall the update and my computer started functioning again. Yaay! I was able to keep that computer for at least a year and then the hard drive failed. Almost literally the day to the year I had that laptop. "That's okay!" I thought to myself, "I can just buy a hard drive and reinstall Windows (yay for OS disks!)" For this laptop, every year for the next two years after that, I had to buy a new hard drive. Eventually, I had enough of it, so I bought a new laptop. Surely, this hard drive mishap was only for that laptop. And so I went happily along, enjoying my newer, nicer laptop with the fancy Windows 7 (cuz that was the 'it' OS system of that time). I was having so much fun, everything seemed right as rain, life couldn't bring this piece of bad-boy technology down! (GAH! FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESUS CRUST, WHY?!) My computer needed a new hard drive. Again. And a year later? Again, too. I gave up for at least a year and a half before I attempted becoming friends with technology again. Every time I saw a computer? Nope. Won't touch it. I even broke my husbands computer when we started dating. Why did he stay? idk, but he was totally unaware of my curse, although I did try to tell him. After I started going to school online in early 2014, I went out and rented-to-own a computer because while I was paying for it, they'd replace it for any reason. I was thinking ahead this time. A year after I got the computer? The hard drive died. Thanks to my thinking ahead, I was able to get it repaired (they had to, surprise, install a new hard drive). I got it back the week my very last payment for it was due, so now I was on my own if my curse decided to muff me over. And sure as shit, it did. It happened in October of this year, 2 months overdue for a failure in the hard drive. But this time... It was my fault. El sigh. (Really? This happened? REALLY?!) Only this time, my husband finally realized that I'm an absolute mess with technology. He suggested that I stay far away from his xbox so I don't break that, too. Because oh, yeah, I break other technology too. As far as I'm aware, it's nothing I do consciously that causes this curse I have with technology; I don't visit weird websites (other than Reborn, obviously), I don't download weird unnamed files. The tech gods just really dislike me. I've done my best to re-trace my steps to see where I may have angered the tech gods; I've reviewed the errors on all five collectable hard drives I've accumulated and they just die. It wasn't where I've gone, or what I downloaded, the hard drives just can't handle in a laptop. I have tried different brands between Dell, Acer, and Asus, with different versions of Windows, but I think my real problem is the Windows OS. That is the most common factor I can provide between all these computer deaths. For now, I decided to go desktop to see if my curse could break itself free from my life. It's still Windows, but that's mainly because I can't work a Mac. I've tried. But knowing me, I'll probably break a Mac faster than ya'll can say catnip. I can't go Chrome, either, because my Sims games don't work with that OS and I've heard it's a pain to find programs that'd convert the platform. Fingers crossed that this computer doesn't die on me because of my curse, but it might. With these fancy new desktops, I swear that if this one had a touch screen, it'd just be an oversized tablet. I was super weary on getting this one because it doesn't need a tower, but I've grown to like it a lot. I love my computer :3 (Except... Yeah, that.) Thanks for reading!

Hello all, Just an update, my instructor did say that you did not have to have visited or lived in the United States. You just have to be able to answer all of the questions with the exception of the US mentions. I will edit the original post. Again, thank you for your support. It is much appreciated!

Hey Rebornians, As you may or may not know, I started school this week. I'm in this class and I'm not entirely sure how well I'll actually do, but I'm going to give it my best shot. To start giving my best shot, I need assistance for my first assignment. It is an interview between you and I on Skype. You must fall under these two criteria: - English must be a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or so on language - Must have visited/lived in the United States * UPDATE: You do not have to have visited or lived in the US, you just have to have the first criteria. Additionally, you will also have to verbally consent to the interview, which will be done on Skype with me, where I will record your voice using Audacity. ** The interview overall will not be long, maybe 20 minutes tops. The questions I will ask are of the following: I will ask you for your age, sex/gender identity, your time in the US, other languages you may have learned in addition to these six questions: 1. What do you consider to be your first/native language(s)? 2. Why did you learn English? 3. When did you learn English? 4. How did you learn English? 5. Can you tell me about challenges or negative experiences you had/have had because of your English skills? 6. How do you feel about being bi/multilingual? According to how the answers fare, I may or may not ask more questions that relate to this topic. For privacy concerns, your name will not be included in the interview, rather, I will give you (and others you may talk about) a pseudonym if push comes to shove. * (I may also ask my instructor if I could have some leeway if you have visited another primarily English speaking country (UK, Canada) rather than the US, but I feel that it is culture relatedness that he is looking for) ** (Your consent may not actually be used within the assignment, but I think this is for legal purposes and I must have this if instructor asks for proof of interview) I will check this thread frequently to figure out a time and date for those who are interested in helping an ol' cat. I would prefer to conduct the interview before next weekend: 9/2. You can PM me in the forums or in chat. Thank you in advance for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, folks of Reborn! This is the very first post for a side forum for students getting ready to return to school in the next month or two. I am very pleased to be able to create guides, hints, and tips and share them with all of you to help you succeed in the classroom! For this first post, I will be examining how to create an essay. This guide can be used to create a basis of an essay for pretty much any topic of your (or the teacher's) choice. In high school, we all dabble in creating essays, but we end up doing them all the time in college. Many who enter college without much experience in writing essays feel lost and the word count can be intimidating. Not anymore, Reborn! Take the time to read through this guide to become familiar (if you have not already) with essays and the foundation behind them. Once we understand the frame work for essays, they tend to become second nature as well as becoming very easy to write. Essay Creation Guide.doc This guide goes over the basics of the introduction paragraph, the body, and the conclusion of an essay with tips and tricks on how to make the best work out of your topic that makes your readers want more. Even if it is the lamest subject you could write about. Ever. We will also learn how we can make outstanding thesis statements with very simple steps as well as where this statement goes in an essay. The guide also goes over an outline that even you can use and follow for your own essays. I dabbled a bit with references, but I will be making a separate guide for references within essays in the near future. So sit still, Reborn, and hang onto your seats! (Did my sales pitch work? ) Now that we had the time to look at how essays are created, I want YOU to write a short essay for me! Below are ten topics to choose from and all are intended to be humourous. There are no word limits or references required, however, I do require three paragraphs along with a thesis statement to check for understanding. Follow the guide for the layout. (Essay topics picked from this website: https://letterpile.com/writing/Funny-Argumentative-Essay-Topic-Ideas) 1. Why you should believe every word of an infomercial (pick your favorite) 2. What your dog is really thinking 3. Thank you, officer, I really needed that ticket 4. What would happen if cats ruled the world 5. How to pretend you are actually working 6. How to have a very awkward date 7. How to annoy your parents (or other family members) 8. Radioactive waste is your friend 9. Where all the mismatched socks go 10. How to become popular I will go ahead and start us off with topic 4. When I sat on my couch, I could see my majestic cat, Hazel, laying like a liquid on my dresser and I thought to myself, "She would make a great purresident for my country". I began to research what it would take to make her the president of the United States. Not too long after, we campaigned and gained hundreds of thousands of votes to make her president and we eventually won. I was promised by my cat to become Chief of State upon her presidency. Well, things happened because this cat ruled a country and I was eventually denied (or lied to) to become Chief of State. Upon reaching presidency, President Hazel overthrew all humans in the government, created an army of cats that took over the world, and made dogs slaves to the cats. President Hazel knew about politics all too well. She turned the White House into the Cat House and hired all her friends and other cats to work for her. Before too long, President Hazel overthrew all humans that was working in politics. Now they are all replaced with cats. We now have Senator FuzzyBeans who is denying health care to humans, and Governor Bigglesworth who is being scandalous with catnip, the illegal substance. President Hazel created an army shortly afterwards that took the world by storm. China was turned into Catna, Europe became Purrope, and eventually, Earth became Furth. At this point in time, no human was in any governmental office. Rather, humans were made to pamper and continue to work to feed all cats on Furth. President Hazel soon became World Leader Hazel, leader of that Free Cat World. Now that the cats have ruled the world, they took revenge on the dogs of Furth. Sitting high and mighty, World Leader Hazel decided that the most fit punishment for all dogs on Furth was to enslave them and use them like horses. W.L. Hazel made humans put dogs outside at night, created extremely strict leash laws, and denied dogs their rights. This is a very terrible time for all of mankind and dogkind. When Hazel reached presidency, she overthrew all humans within government, created an army of cats to help take over the world, and made dogs slaves to cats. All of this happened because of me. I wanted to make my cat the president of the United States to make it better for people. Because of my actions, there are no more humans within any government in the world. Dogs probably have it worse than the humans. I could not imagine being a dog that was made a slave to catkind, let alone being forced to live outside at night. Overall, Furth did become a better place, just not for humans or dogs.

Where to begin? Mao. Of course. At any rate, I wanted to return to the forums to perhaps inspire myself to have new hobbies while I await returning to college this fall, and potentially keep these hobbies as I move forward in my career. A good friend of mine moved away recently, so I have pretty much been left to my own devices of what to do while my husband is working. A lot about me has changed over the last few years of my absence in the forums, but undoubtedly, most of you already know this through chat. However, there is a lot about me that has not changed, haha. A prime example would be the title of this post! Over the last few years, I have found what I want to do with myself. I wanted to make a difference for a lot of people, but I was unsure of where to start at first. As many of you probably know, I used to volunteer at my high school for students with disabilities by helping them learn and developing good social skills. Over time, it just became clear that I can make a difference as an educator. Thus, I started the long, winding journey of becoming a certified teacher. Now my only problem is what area I want to specialize in; special education or elementary, haha. With the support of my husband, family, and friends, I reckon I will make a great teacher, no matter what area I specialize in. Other than these differences, I would consider myself the same cat that we all know and get annoyed by. That's kinda like love, right? xD Overall, I would like to get back in the community and pick up new hobbies for myself. I am open to suggestions of what I could get into. Referring back to my career choice, I do enjoy teaching and learning new things to give back to others, so maybe something along those lines would be a great side hobby for myself and others in the forums. Especially with schools opening back up this fall. So throw some ideas my way, forum!

I think this would be something fun to do as a community. I'd tell you that I could work on it with you, but with my school schedule, I cannot say that I can be 100% committed to this project. Perhaps something with a lot of comedy could work really well with our community as we all tend to share laughs occasionally.

Hey guys, my friend code is: 2595-1405-6414 Add me!

Name: MissKittie Roles: I always play Fiddles. :3 Comments: Myao myao.

Update: I actually managed to talk to a few people... Pulling some strings. Me and Ame are going to split the bus ticket! Woo! So my new official leave date is October 17th!! Woooooo~ My friend gave me $100. He made me promise that it'd go to bills. So I am going to put it forth to my Car insurance and partially my phone, which I'll be paying off this week(hopefully, I need gas too...). That way I can focus on Hiro's vet and then I can get back on track with my money. I haven't gotten my new hospital bill, and I expect it in a few days. I really want to hope that most of it will be paid off... But I'm not keeping any bets... But hopefully I can start saving up so I won't be totally broke when I get to Denver. Ame was right~ He never stops amazing me. .___.
