For those of you that know me -- if it is at all possible, I like to avoid confrontation. If confrontation is imminent, then bring it on. If not...let's settle this with a hand shake and a smile.

So then, why have I chosen journalism as my major? Why then, have I chosen journalism as my life long pursuit of employment? On my very first assignment this semester for the school paper, I have been dogged on by someone I interviewed for using a word in the wrong context. I guess in all fairness, it was a very poor decission to use a word I didn't quite understand. But still...throw me a frikkinbone.

If that bruise to my ego wasn't bad enough, two other people on separate occassions responded this way to a question:

- one said that the question was misleading
- another said that she refused to answer the question as it was due to it's "invidious implications...". If you don't know what invidious means, look it up at dictionary.com. Hint: It's not a term of endearment.

Maybe it's a bad idea to focus my writing attention on politics and religion -- the two most insidious causes of war.

Maybe I should instead turn to writing children's books... if I misuse a word or ask an "invidious" question -- the worse they can do is bite me.
