Oh Nancy, you're so funny! Very Happy

I like your "negative-Nelly" persona/character. Lg15 (and this forum, I guess) has provided a great outlet for people to create some neat characters Cool

. I also happen to think it's neat when people choose to express themselves. I'm glad LordGreystoke422 is a part of HSA. Lg15 and its community members don't discriminate, I guess.

I think it's also kind of interesting that the creators of lg15 have encouraged so many people to try new things and beome involved in this world of online vlogs. I guess it's easy to judge (and I sure have as lg15 fan -oh have I ever complained when I wanted the story to go in another direction or when I was confused about a character's motivation, as well as so many other complaints-- I have often acted like the creators' vision was a personal story just for me. Embarassed

)

As Ms. Kelly, I have certainly changed my tune now, and accept what I see or what I choose not to watch, as someone's creativity and hard work. We should all be so lucky to be able to express ourselves and put it out there for whoever would like to watch it.

It's all good (as the kids say) Very Happy

Sorry Ms. Kelly Embarassed

I didn't want to offend anyone. It was a visceral reaction to my own particular pet peeve. I am also a teacher (Special Education) knowing that you are an English teacher (my undergraduate is in English as well) I would assume that you understand the "UM" in public speaking. Hey listen, my own principal does it EVERY morning during her morning PA message, and it really gets my goat.

Once again, I am sorry if my post was mean spirited, I had a gutteral reaction to this guy from all of his videos.

Thanks for the interesting assignments, and sorry I didn't get to finish most of them. I was transported back to my English 400 courses and I didn't have another thesis in me Laughing

Josh is moving, so he won't be around for a week or two. Crying or Very sad

Oh Nancy, I can't believe I was so Ms. Kelly then.Sorry Embarassed

(The Ms. Kelly in me is overprotective I guess.) I'm going to have to watch this. Actually, when I asked twj to be our guestspeaker and people thought he was Ms. Kelly, I asked a few popular and well-known lg15 video responders to be speakers (just to mess with everyone's minds and have HSA be perceived as the "school of choice" for lg15 fans). Dr. Immant said he would give us a video, but then he had all that OTO logo stuff, and couldn't get to it in time. (He was going to make a recruiting video-I can only imagine the responses from students.)

And I can only imagine what Josh would say. It would be frustrating to Ms. Kelly, but probably quite funny to me.

I promise not to be Ms. Kelly anymore. She has finished her final work for the class about an hour ago. Now I will re-emerge as gogo the casual observer who is forever using the Embarassed

smilie. By the way, this is the second time that I have posted in this HSA section. Feels good to speak and not just lurk like an obsessive stalker.

Again, I promise not to pull a Ms. Kelly on people.

You poor disenchanted, unloved child. Actually the type of students that I work with run the spectrum from severely, physically disabled, mentally retarded AND severely emotionally disturbed. I have worked with autistic students and with teenage gang members. Most of my students have psychologicals LONGER than the longest book you have ever read. And yes, I do agree that (for some cases) medication is what they need. Apparently, when you are born addicted to crack and watch your mother whore herself on a corner and your father is in prison....ADHD is the least of your problems. Lord G, I love my students, and have been offered to work in some very well preserved and fancy schools. Yet, I stay and work in the 9th most dangerous school in New York City, believe me I am far from being elitist. I also teach ABA to severely, autistic children as an early intervention for children 3-6 years old. Watch the documentary "Autism is a World", to see how people like us "force square pegs into round holes"

I cannot believe that my one sentence post could elicit such a tirade of a response from you. I simply said (as I responded to gogo) that it was a gutteral response from someone who has a specific pet peeve. I did see the whole post.....actually all 3 of them and you are right.....you did not say UM many more times. Kudos

I did, however, get frightened when you started to take off your clothes...as I did not know when you would stop. As I am sure if you went any further.....it would really "bake my noodle."

A few more comments......first off, if you are going to quote a Rush song why not make it a good one? Instead of the dorkiest one created. One where kids smoke pot, listen to it and think "Yeah man this is freaking deep." Second, statistics show (I will post them if you want, I did a graduate paper on it) those who are ADD and ADHD and receive the proper, perscribed medication are more likely NOT to take recreational drugs in an attempt to self-medicate their hyperactivity. Third, Ms. Kelly's name is GoGo.....not GooGoo. The GooGoo (dolls) are a band, Gogo is a character in Waiting for Godot. Lastly, I do not create vlogs or videos for YouTube because I understand my own shortcomings, I am a much better writer (and educational speaker). And more honestly, I have no such desire.

As for Death of a President. I am pretty much a staunch Republican. I happen to like this president (albeit he does say UM a lot). I find the idea of showing a fake documentary showing the incumbent president getting killed (regardless of what ANYONE thinks of him) appalling.

As for my profession, I am well loved by my students and have taught many non-readers to read, many gang members to think before they act, and many students to stand in front of a room and speak to others in a manner that elicits respect and UM interest. I have also dealt with students that have such low self esteem that just a simple comment could throw them into a tirade (sound familliar?)

My thoughts and well wishes are with you, too bad you didn't get the help you needed when you were younger.

Oh wow, this is kind of fun to watch. But I have to say that I thought Lord Greystoke was an appropriate graduation speaker and I have actually grown to quite enjoy his video's. But then again, Geddy Lee was one of my heros when I was growing up. I think I've mellowed since though.

Josh would have been fun too!

Please let this argument be finished. You have both made your points.

I can't believe it's over!
Im going to have to agree that the naked thing was super awkward for me...thank god for fast foward. But cheers to LG422 for giving such a rousing final address.
Im excited to see the yearbook. I think it'll be pretty sweet.
And thanks to Ms. Kelly/gogo for giving us something fun, introspective and (relatively) anagram-free to do in here!
I can't go back to lg15 after all of this interactivity...anybody know what OpAphid is up to? hehe...he... Confused

->J
ps- TWJ, you crack me up. See y'all around the forums!

Here is the uncorrupted version. I think the first part that Ms Kelly has posted is corrupted(Ok...don't go there..TW has said to play nice<g>) in that it only plays for a minute and 10 seconds after which it abruptly ends and cuts off about 5 minutes of the speech..so..here it is on Revver if anyone is interested.
