Blanks

I'm drawing a blank. It's actually quite easy to draw. Of all my status messages on Facebook, this is the one I remember. Yes, I realize that my life lacks something if I build posts around status messages on facebook. But seriously, I'm drawing a blank. See? Its such a lovely expression that describes very aptly the condition I am in. And so much is drawn from it. F(blank)(blank)(blank). You know exactly what I mean, don't you? In class, nothing irritates the...'blank'..out of teachers more than seeing a completely blank expression on the student's face after one hour of almost non-stop, well, 'blank'. With some exceptions of course. Of course, its not a weapon only in the hands of students. the administrative system is quite apt in the use of such excellent methods of warfare. We explain to them painstakingly slowly for quite a while why we should get a refund, or money needed for a fest, or other college activities, and they will give you the best blank stare there can ever possibly be! A 'blank', I have come to conclude, is the handiest expression there is. It is also the deadliest. So the term 'firing blanks' should actually refer to something really, really dangerous. And not something seedy. Excuse the pun.
