I had a go debating whether sims or lemmings was better with my friend Chloe H on msn earlier today. I obviously took the side of lemmings(sims suck) And Chloe turned out be pretty bad at losing, as she used the trick of saying 'I'm bored' rather than just honestly saying I'd won, and by the looks of it my persuasive writing skills have certainly got better. It has something to do with my dad, as last time I saw him he told me that if I really wanted anyone to listen to me about lemmings, I'd have to say more about it than 'It's the best game in the world', which is what I tried with the little debate experiment. That was what it was; an experiment to see whether a nights' worth of studying sites on persuasive writing had actually worked, and indeed they have. Now I'm on what you could call a 'silent quest' because there's nothing remarkable about me doing it so noone will actually talk about it. And besides, noone will ever know except the people here, my dad, and I. At least I hope things go that way. I'm shy enough even here, though it's a friendly site with friendly people, so I wouldn't be very happy with half the nation knowing about me. I'm serious about this. I'm going to try my hardest to, very literally, save the lemmings. As far as I know, all we've got is forty-something die hard fans here, and that's not going to be enough. I'm working on setting up a sort of trend-system at school. Younger children have a tendency to 'follow the leader' a little like lemmings themselves. That's where 'trend-setters'(aka particularly stylish year sixes) come in. I figure that if I can get the more popular year sixes onto lemmings, maybe the younger ones will follow... interesting...
Sorry about the long post.
