Let me just start by saying, I was very pleasantly surprised by this essay. The description of this girl being violated was a bit graphic -- to say the least, but I guess it was necessary. From the get go I felt sympathy for this girl -- something I hadn't felt for any other writer in this book. I believe that even though she was very much at fault for her situation, it still didn't take away the pity that I felt for her.
I feel that this essay is a great lesson to anyone who thinks 'this could never happen to me' or that 'I'm safe as long as I go with my friends.' One of the reasons I liked this essay was because this author was not as dysfunctional as the others. She still doesn't carry many of the same values that I have, but at the same time she was just a college student with a family, friends and a social life that fell into a very unfortunate situation and had to then deal with it in both physical and psychological ways.
Looking at how she handled the aftermath of her raping I would come to the conclusion that she may have bottled it up a bit too much. I think she should have gone to a therapist or something of that sort because it seemed that she was still very much damaged inside many months and years later (although I'm not sure if you can ever truly get over such an experience).
Discussion Questions:
1. Who do you believe is at fault more in the author's raping, herself or her friend?
2. Do you agree or disagree with the author's handling of her raping or did you think that the way she handled it was truly the only way possible?

Foreign Subcultures
I would consider myself fortunate to have friends in many different subcultures, some of good intentions and some of not-so-good intentions. I guess the subcultures that intrigue me the most are the 'twenty-something smokers', the 'three nights a week I party', and the 'get high and wasted' subculture. All three of these subcultures I could infiltrate.
Heck, if I wanted to smoke, I could just go get a cigarrette and smoke -- voila! I'm in a subculture. Unfortunately for all of my friends, I won't be a twenty-something smoker because I paid attention in health class and found out that inhaling poisonous toxins is going to knock some serious time off your life. Oh well, next subculture.
The 'three nights a week I party' subculture is one that is also easily infiltrated. Once more, unfortunate for my 'party hard' friends I've decided that I'm more into getting at least six hours of sleep and not waking up next to someone I met at one in the morning. Obviously I'm exaggerating but you get my point.
The 'get high and wasted' subculture is not one that I'm extremely familiar with but I've know people in this subculture. After watching a kid walk around naked in the courtyard of our dorm over the weekend because he was high on acid I decided that this may not be the best fit.

Confessions in Writing
When I am reading an essay that has a large amount of confession going on I usually react in different ways depending on what they are confessing about. For 'Sex and the Sickbed' I mostly felt uncomfortable reading the beginning of her essay. It was very graphic and like I've heard others comment, it didn't leave much to the imagination. Was I more interested -- sure, but that didn't mean I enjoyed the story more.
I guess when the author is so honest that it's uncomfortable to read you begin to realize that she isn't exaggerating and she's pretty reliable as a source. In all the essays I've read in TETW I've realized that most of the subject matter centers around sexuality and the exploration of that idea. Personally I would not delve into such subject matter so by having the authors write about that stuff I've come to realize that there is no way they could be exaggerating about their own life so much. It's so sick, and believable that it HAS to be true.
Knowing that you are going to be sharing your essay I think it impacted my writing style to be more like the way I talk. I tend to be sarcastic when I am uncomfortable and so just as in my speech, my essay was one that was slightly humorous and dripping with sarcasm.

Sex and the Sickbed
This essay is the monologue provided by a young girl who gives us recollections of her boyfriend/lover who was diagnosed with Leukemia. Most of the essay is the writer expressing how she was more affected by the loss of her sex life with her boyfriend than the emotional separation that she experienced.
Did I like this essay? No. I couldn't disagree more with this girl in terms of what her relationship was based on. Did she truly know her boyfriend on the personal side? Perhaps, But she didn't supply us with a lot of depth in regards to his personality other than to say that he was imaginative and easy to talk to. Seems Neil was her first sexual encounter and that attached her to him. Her relational dysfunction is further shown by her demeanor directly after Neil's death. She states that she went back on the hunt for a boyfriend too soon and this was probably due to her being so sexually disconnected. When I was reading this essay I couldn't help but think this girl has a HUGE sex drive and it really showed.
Don't get me wrong, I understand her, but I think that she is too into the physical as far as relationships go and not so much into the personal relationship. Think of it this way, had she not been so sexually active as a younger girl she wouldn't have been so emotionally attached to Neil. This wouldn't have lessened her sadness during his illness and death, but it would've helped her move on and develop healthier relationships later in life. I believe that sex is something should be waited on for until you are married because its much more than just a physical encounter -- it ties you to that person for the rest of your life. When you continue to be sexually active you are literally giving yourself away to the people you are with and by the time you are married it just makes that union less important. That's the way I see it and that is why I had such a hard time feeling any connection to this author and her way of life.
1. Do you believe Jennifer's emphasis on missing her and Neil's sex life is unnatural? In other words, do you think that if your boyfriend or girlfriend died you would miss their body more than their personality?
2. From what the author provided, what kind of person do you think Neil was?

Description (Freewrite)
He's got plenty of facepaint and maybe even a mask. If he's not drinking beer, he's throwing it. Along with talking he prefers barking and yelling. For a man in his early twenties all the way to his late fifties he still has two favorite colors: orange and brown.
He hates Pittsburgh and all that comes with it. If you enter the sacred area that is the "Redzone" he will become even more loud and obnoxious than ever. He may even mix in a few swear words with the typical "You SUCK!"
You may be confused as to who this member of my subculture is, but for those familiar with the lifestyle you should be able to pick it out right away. I am talking about the quintesential "DAWGPOUND" member. A group of extreme Cleveland Browns fans who defend the endzone like it's their right as a human being.

Tricycle
This essay is about a girl, Rachel, who struggles with depression all the while exploring friendship, relationships, and her sexuality. I really did not like this essay for the reasons that this girl seems too messed up with drugs that her thoughts and ideas are so scrambled.
Her friendships are with a girl, Merideth, and her two homosexual guy friends, Eric and Christian. I feel that she is envious of the kind of relationship that those two share. It seems she would rather be with them than be with her boyfriend, Clint. She flirts with the idea of a threesome and it sounds as if her friends are indifferent to it so they have a "sleep-over."
I guess that with my beliefs on her lifestyle and her manner in general it is tough for me to feel any sort of sympathy for her. She screwed up her life by giving herself away and being a slut. She also mixes pot and smoking into all of this which can't help. She can't seem to find happiness and I think this could stem back to her family situation that we don't hear much about. I can't really express how much I disliked this essay and I have a feeling that if we are going to be reading essays like this for the rest of the class I will be pounding my head every time, heh.
Discussion Questions:
1. Do you believe Rachel's sadness towards life is a result of her family or her decisions?
2. Why do you think Rachel flirts with the idea of a threesome? Is it her unhappiness towards her relationship with Clint or her fascination towards the idea?

Miss Teen USA Pageant Response
After watching the debaucle that is this poor girl trying to answer a question I immediately thought,"Gee, this girl is retarded." Was I little harsh? Probably. But, what I hadn't seen was her interview within the next couple of days on some morning talk shows.
Although the girl did not TOTALLY make me change my opinion I did realize that nerves can play a huge rule in giving an answer like the one she did. Personally, I think this girl does not represent any subculture or any type of cultural artifact. To that extent I will say that if someone from another country saw this video they may think that we are a bunch of nimwits running around with bowls on our heads. If this poor girl was to represent a subculture it would be the 'I get nervous and lose my train of thought in front of large groups of people' subculture.
I've spoken in public before in front of maybe five hundred people and I can tell you first hand that no matter how much you prepare, if you aren't completely comfortable then you will forget what you were going to say. With that being said, imagine having to be asked a random question and then answer the question in thirty seconds--not to mention make it all make sense (which she didn't do).
This girl doesn't represent a subculture, she represents memory loss.

Rough Draft for Essay
It's Saturday morning. A 'Hungry Howies' sheet pizza sits on a small coffee table. Five men sit around it in the dim light of my families basement staring at a projector screen and watching college football. Welcome to the 'man cave.' This is no special event. This is the life to which I've been brought up. My father has pounded it in our head, but not on purpose. "You root for Ohio or you go jump off a bridge." Did he say this straightforwardly? No. Did he show it in his actions? Yes.
I am definitely not apart of a small sect. Pure-bread Ohio sports fans are around these parts by the dozens and it's in their demeanor that you recognize them. During College Football season Saturdays are off limits. Weddings are no obstacles either. When my brother was married on a Saturday about a month ago where was I at the end of it all? I was in the lounge huddled around a small television with my father and brother catching the final seconds of a Browns preseason opener.
Our devotion to our teams runs deep. Columbus is the farthest we root. We despise Cincinnati like we despise the Steelers. 'Hang On Sloopy' is going to be my first dance at my wedding--or so I've planned. I have a feeling my wife may not go for that. The day that Ohio State loses it's first game of the season is a day of mourning. I can take you back to when I first felt truly hurt. Ohio State was playing Vince Young and Texas in the second or third game of the season and my family had arranged to put up a projector screen in our backyard to watch the game (This is the kind of devotion that we show to our sports teams). When Ohio State struggled down the stretch and finally ended up losing I shuffled into the house and went to bed. I never wanted to lay eyes on a scoreboard in which my 'team' was on the losing end and when it finally happened I couldn't sleep a wink.
Of course this is all apart of being so highly devoted to a group of teams that, at times, have not had much success. The Cleveland Browns, The Cleveland Indians, The Cleveland Cavaliers; Usually these teams are the source of ridicule and insult--never a compliment. Even with the Cavaliers making the NBA Championship this past season there was plenty of 'haters', but we (northern ohio sports fans) stood strong.
As I've mentioned before, our life was not one chosen, but was one that we received at birth. Many choose to neglect their heritage as a Cleveland and Ohio State fan and to them we say, "Screw You." This life is not an easy one. For fans of places like New England and New York, their life is one of ease. Their teams are perfect and their devotion is never tested. But for Northern Ohio sports fans we've seen it all and yet we choose to persevere. "The Drive", "The Shot"(Michael Jordan), "The Fumble"(Ernest Byers), "The Run" (Vince Young); it's not something most fans would ever have to endure. It was not until recently that we saw Ohio State break it's thirty year drought.
I could elaborate on the hardships that I will face for the remainder of my life as a northern Ohio sports fan, but I shall choose to not bore you. We will have our triumphs, yet we will see the failure up close as well. northern Ohio is due for a Championship of some kind very soon and I will be in my basement, waiting, when it happens.

Brainstorming the Opening of The Subculture Paper
"Good Morning, Did the Indians win?" For most of my life this is the first thing me and my father will discuss during baseball season. For Football and Basketball season you can expect the same except with Indians being substituted with Browns and Cavaliers. My family isn't disfunctional and its not that we don't like to talk about other things but I have been born into a family full of Northern Ohio sports fans.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" That was my reaction when I watched the Indians win in extra innnings several nights ago. It is usually my response to any close sporting event like a baseball game or a football game. Am I mentally challenged? No, but I am a northern Ohio sports fanatic.

'Live Nude Girl'
In reading this essay I find myself disliking the author to the 'nth' degree. She is cocky in her description of how much money she makes and at the same time feels that her line of work is somehow respectable. She must suffer from some extremely low self-esteem as well because she reveals how competitive she is with the other dancers.
I'm not going to completely write her off as a worthless person but in just reading this essay I've lost more respect for a profession that I think is pretty sleazy in the first place.

Why am I in my Subculture?
The answer to the above stated question is simple. I'm from northeast Ohio, and I know no other way. It's not something I chose to be apart of. I love sports and it's much easier to identify with a team that you can actually support by going to games and participating in other events that have to do with your team.
It's also much deeper than that. When I was born my parents bought me my first Browns jersey. I would go outside in the snow with my brothers and we would tussle it out in our make believe football game. It was always the Browns versus the Steelers with the Browns always blowing the Steelers out.
The life of a Cleveland and Ohio State fan is not one that is simple in any regard. With Cleveland, we are still suffering through one of the worst droughts in the sports world, having not seen a Championship since the Browns won one in the AFL in the sixties. For the Indians it's even worse having not won a championship since the '48 season.
My culture I am immersed in is no picnic, that's for sure and it's a struggle to make it through the entire season with out starting to question why you are losing so many games. Ohio State is the only true winner of the past and yet for most it is still not good enough. We need our pros to bring us home a championship. It is time that the guys that do this for a living bring us something back!

Subculture Proposal
The subculture that I have chosen to be in is the 'Northern Ohio Sports Fan' subculture. This culture is full of 100% true Cleveland Sports fans who support the Browns, Buckeyes, Indians, Cavaliers---heck, even the Cleveland Crunch and Cleveland Rockers.
I really am not a fan of people who choose to pick random teams from other cities and states. I believe that unfortunately, you are born into your team affiliations and you should support them no matter what. I truly am apart of this subculture because I love ONLY Ohio sports teams and I've loved them since the day I was born. Cleveland has never been known to be a spectacular sports town but the true fan will always stick by his team and not slander them all the time.
Being born in northeast Ohio and 'liking' the teams from around us does not immediately qualify you into this subculture but you must be an enduring and respectable fan who doesn't jump off the bandwagon as soon as things go sour. I've been a huge Cleveland Cavaliers fan since day one and I've endured a seventeen win season all the way to a trip to the NBA Finals, so I've seen both ends of the spectrum.

Subcultures
Subcultures. To me these are basically smaller groups of people with common belief systems and and comtmon interests that can be as specific as liking only certain types of food.
Better examples of subcultures would be jocks, preppies, nerds, drifters, and druggies (our favorite losers).
Everyone can blend into a society that is much larger than themselves, but I believe that if you have a common bond with a group of people it is much easier to make it through the monotonous day to day routine.
That is the reader's digest definition of subcultures.

About the Writer (That would be Evan)
What are my likes and dislikes? That is a loaded question to say the least. If you were to ask me this question in person I would probably give you a nice reader's digest question and be done in 20 seconds, but since I have you reading this and it's technically a requirement, I will go on.
My main passion would probably be for God. I'm not an in your face kind of person about my religion, but if you're gonna ask me, I wouldn't stay away from telling you. That being said, it all goes downhill from there. I like to play piano, drums, some guitar. I love video games. Mostly sports video games like NCAA Football 2008 and Madden NFL Football 2008 (I'm writing this so late because I was AT a Madden Tournament at the Student Center). I'm also a pretty avid computer guy. I work on the Geek Squad which unfortunately has made me hate computers more than I used to because it's no longer just for fun, but a job. --That and I get yelled at by angry customers.
Finally, I love to write and or talk about sports in some shape or form. I'm a Broadcast Journalism major and I guess what I want to do with that is continue forward and either work for sports talk radio, or even a sports magazine. Lastly, I guess I could do television, but I think you have to become really fake in order to be on television. Too much make up and scripted argumentative writing for my taste.
That about wraps up my life for the past eighteen years. Kind of sad that I can sum it up in so little of a blog. So much for writing a book.
