Gaara Application [Part 6]
Sample Post:

First Person

Today I have made the following discoveries.

The term "hillbilly," came from Ireland in the 17th century. It was intended to insult supporters of King William. By calling them "billy boys," or "hill billys." I am still not sure about it's common origin. I need to do more research.

Vikings often wore pink into battle because they believed it was a color of the Gods, and thus needed to be worn to keep the Gods happy. I do not know how much pink they wore, though I have a hard time imagining it to be a vast amount.

They say if you shake the hand of a corpse of a crusader and wish him well, you will be granted good luck. I would like to do this. The luck comes from the fact that not many crusaders had hands by the time they died. They were often lost in battle. Corpses of this time often had the feet cut off, as well. Coffins were made to be one size. If they did not fit they lost their feet. The feet were then thrown out.

I am enjoying the History Channel today.

Third Person

While Gaara was always told to be frugal with his money and to always keep it saved except for when he needed something, now that he was on his own, he just couldn't help but give in to the occasional splurge. It was just the matter of finding right right one. There were plenty of strip malls in this area for him to choose from, and of course he went for the most upscale one, assuming that if it was good for people with loads of money then it should be good for him.

Though he wasn't impressed with what he saw. While some things said discounted, they were only about $2 cheaper. Was that even a discount? Wasn't there like, a certain percent that needed to be taken off? Taking off $2 was like saying it was a 0.46% discount. Well. Maybe it was best to just say "clearance," in big bright letters to attract people over. And it seemed to be working, people only looking at the new bright red price rather than the boring black one on the bottom of the tag.

He'd noticed something similar, too, when certain grocery stores would do "buy one get one free," promotions. While you did indeed get one free, you also had to pay more for the one. So it wasn't as free as you'd think.
