Psssh. I'll get you next time. Next time.
Oh, and I'm just reading a book I have to read for my English summer homework.
It's basically a How-To guide on... manipulating people. Augh. I feel so confused at parts for this. 
Well, actually, it's a How-To guide on how to persuade people using rhetorical devices, but the author calls it manipulating A LOT.

I... I don't really know. I wouldn't call some of the examples in this book manipulating. Some others, probably.

Nope. It's called Thank You For Agruing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion by Jay Heinrichs.

I see.
On another note, I just got invited to a friend's birthday party, and like always, my parents are urging my younger brother to go with me. And since that the friend happens to be a guy, and there's going to be mostly guys there, they're going to make sure my brother comes along. :facepalm:

I don't know. My parents are just paranoid, I guess. 
Anyway, I should be heading to bed now. Good night, and have a great time at your party!
