My Top 3 Discourse Communities

   The idea of discourse communities is actually rejuvenating. I haven't thought about how diverse my personality is ,and how it correlates with the person or group to whom I am holding a conversation with. Surroundings are a very huge part of the idea of discourse communities. Every Sunday my mom wakes the house to for church. While at church I could hold a very influential conversation with the pastor, first lady, or even the first mother. If I had to choose within the long list of discourse communities I am a part of ,then it would definitely be: family talk, girl talk, and flirt. I can talk a lot ,and listen better.
   Family talk is a very solid language to which I hold at the top of the hierarchy. My family is all I have. I could talk to my mom about everything and give advise to my younger siblings and cousins. Just recently I was getting on to my younger sister about her study habits, she is a senior in high school this year, how she should buckle down and start being serious about work if she wants to be exempt from her finals. She understood the language of both support and sibling. My family is my sunshine in the morning. They are my true love for eternity. I have to sit and talk with them. We could discuss everything from immediate family issues to sibling rivalry. I have an aunt that is the family comedian. She could make anyone laugh until their stomach hurts. Family talk is very amusing to me.
   Girl talk in my opinion is the best therapy ever. Its some things you just can't talk to your family or siblings about. I have two best friends ever. One attends the University of Alabama and is majoring in Pre-Law just as I am majoring in Political Science ,and the other is an AuburmTiger majoring in Biology. Our senior year in high school together was full of its ups and downs. We were amongst a large group of friends, it was about six of us. We were like a power house that stood even when the enemy tried to knock us down. Where you saw one you saw the other five. One day in the mall I remember a wise woman warning all six of us about the after "graduation syndrome". The idea that friends would become foe within that hour in a half ceremony, seemed unrealistic at the time. We caught it first hand like Swine Flu. I couldn't imagine it being as contagious as it was throughout the entire senior class. They are all that I have now oppose to the other three. This has made us a lot closer. My phone bill ,as my mother complains ,is record for our friendship. We could talk about the past without getting frustrated now, we could pray, we laugh, talk about boys, family, college, and even sex. We are real with each other. They are like my two sister from another mother.
   Flirt talk is the most sarcastic talk of it all. I use ,being overly sarcastic, to flirt and to get him laughing. I love to make people laugh because that same laughter would stay with them. Every moment he thinks of my remark he would remember me. I've made multiple lasting impressions from my sarcasm. Being attractive, to me, is not enough it has to be some type of humor involved in the transition. I like having fun and lmao, and lol. I enjoy those. Flirt talk could turn in to serious talk ,but when it gets to serious I try to mosey that sarcasm back. Being a fun, loving, humble female is what real guys would want. I can't speak for the others who are attracted to the plastic and the outlandishly loud. I know who I am and what I have to offer.
   In conclusion the people to whom I am having a conversation with determines my language. Family talk, Girl talk, and Flirt talk are my hobbies and I enjoy every minute of it. The best advice ,if need, that I would give to anyone who really had trouble with this prompt is to look within yourself. Sort out your hobbies, your favorite people, your favorite place, and come to your senses. Enjoy life, its what you make it.
