We were having a Xmas party at my school today. In one of my classes, we were having a mock debate game. The teacher would call up four of us and give us a topic. One of the topics was 'it Santa Claus real or not"? Two people had to debate for the positive, that he was real, and the other two had to debate that he wasnt.
Well when my turn came up, the topic was: does Santa spend his summer in mexico or the North Pole? I was on the negative team, so I had to debate that Santa did NOT spend his Xmas in Mexico.
Well when I started talking I was really on a role. I said that I had been to Mexico 3 times and never once had a seen a fat, pasty looking man with a long white beard tanning on the beach. Then I added "who would want to see that? It's DISGUSTING!! I also talked about how Santa never has a tan, and that if he spent a whole summer in Mexico he would still be a bit bronn at Xmas time. I also added that he had to compile his naughty and nice list and get his elves in order, and that the summer is only 4 months away from Xmas so he would definatley have to spend his Xmas in the North Pole.
Well I got a couple of chuckles during my speech, and me and my partner won a prize for best debate!!
The only thing I'm worried about is now some of the guys in the class are avoiding me, and not being as friendly to me after I made my speech. I thought of two things: maybe some guys don't like girls to be funny and outspoken, that's what guys do, and 2, maybe they were offended by me saying that seeing Santa tanning on the beach was digusting.
Does anyone have any ideas?
PS, not everyone reacted this way. The teacher came up to me afterwords and told me I was hilarious. (link)

First off, I think it's sweet that you are concerned that you'd offended people. Keep that trait- it's called being considerate, and most of American adults have forgotten the meaning. Secondly, I commend you for your wit and quickness in your answers in class! And NO it is NOT only males that are to be funny or quick-witted. It seems that if you have that gift, go with it! Don't worry, if anyone reacted funny, it will pass. They're just jealous.

I've been told I have a really odd taste in music. I'm just curios {sorry, I can't spell}, what kind of music do I like if I listen to: Fuel, Matchbox 20, Our Lady Peace, Weezer, Verical Horizions, Switchfoot, Poe, Savage Garden, Incubus, and Foo Fighters. But I like their old stuff the best, their new stuff sucks!

Actually, it's funny because I like all of those also. If you REALLY want to categorize or label your taste, I would say.... don't! Like what you want to like.

We used to have more money, but ever since my dad got hurt- we don't have much money. I know my parents are trying to hide it from me and my older brother. But, it's obvious. They barely had enough money to buy christmas presents and food this month. If you offer them money, they turn it down. Any ideas on how I can help? My parents each work 2 jobs.
I rate 5's for any help at ALL. (link)

Offer to do the small things. Maybe tell them that you want to make dinner tomorrow night and to plan on that, or maybe you could clean the house or take on other odd jobs to make their home life that much easier. It would also be cute to create an I-O-U coupon book with things of that nature in it! They'll appriciate the effort, regardless of money. Remember: It's the thought that counts!
