Joy of all joys! I just got an email from Mrs. Radtke, my supercool English teacher from last year, and she said that she found my copy of “The Color of Magic”! I had lent her “Wyrd Sisters” and “TCoM” last year, but neither of us could remember if she had given TCoM back, because we both have forgetful minds like that. It turns out that it was in Dust Bunny Heaven, underneath Mrs. Radtke’s bed. She found it while she was cleaning. Now I’ll have my beloved Pratchettness back! ::dances merrily:: I can introduce Chungy to Rincewind!
Why does this website‘s art amuse me so? Look at who made it. ::snickers madly:: Thank you for brightening up my days, Google Image Search!
Spread the Claudia!love! She’s updated her website! Groovy new style and all!
My new desktop image. Don’t you love searching for random stuff in the Google Image Search?
Hurrah! I contributed Captain Planet to the pool, allowing me initiation into the Husband of the Month Club. Marcelina, Chungy, Elizabeth, and I agreed that my husband for December is Paul McCartney. He can sing me festive holiday songs and we can sit by the warm, toasty fire, and I can give him a big hug. ::squeals:: Share the Paul-love!
So then I got this idea about driving a cheesecake truck, cause I figured at the end of the day, I could take all the leftover cheesecakes home, cause I love cheesecake. So I went to the cheesecake company and they asked me if I could drive a truck, and I said “yes”, and they said “you’re hired”. So the next day, I got in the truck (with all the cheesecakes) and I drove it a block, but I just had to have a cheesecake, so I pulled over and I opened the truck and I took a cheesecake out and I also took one for later and I took one for my friend Farm Boy and I took one to take home, and by that time I’d eaten one of the cheesecakes, so I took another one. Now it’s lunchtime, so I eat ten cheesecakes and a cheesecake for dessert. Oh, I might point out, by the way, that all these cheesecakes were very delicious. Anyway, I figured that the only thing to do would be to eat all the rest of those cheesecakes and hide the truck somewhere and leave town. And I miss everybody a lot, but I’m not really sorry, because they were very delicious cheesecakes.
Hurrah! Winter Formal!,
In the grand tradition of Winter Formal night, my friends and I had a great time, despite being at the party only 45 minutes. We started at 6:00, where we met at Cafe Istanbul, a Middle Eastern restaurant that I thought I didn’t like, but loved tonight. Usually I’m not the biggest fan of Middle Eastern cuisine, but I completely fell in love with the Turkish pizza. Turkish sausage, feta cheese, onion, and beef on this delicious, soft, thick-crusted bread. Everyone else kept taking all my food! Anyway, Chungy and Nancy arrived 30 minutes later, as is their wont, so we were almost late for “Amelie” next door at the Inwood. Marcelina, Cherise, and I were rather peeved at them. At Amelie, I was shocked that we weren’t carded, as the movie is rated-R. I wanted to feel superior in the knowledge that I was now 17. Oh well. Amelie was still utterly fabulous the second time, and I reccomend it to anyone that’s not an uncultured moron.
Afterwards, we caravanned to Nancy’s house so that Chungy could put on her dress. She and Margaret had made it the night before — completely out of duct tape. Also, keep in mind that Chungy is the world’s most terrifying driver in history. Let me tell you how close to impossible it can be to follow someone that goes 50 in a 35 mph zone. I lost her twice, as every Dallas resident and their dog drives a white car. I could only identify her car by the “2002” message daubed on the back windscreen by considerate Seniors. When we pulled up at Nancy’s, I yelled at Chungy, and Cherise and Marcelina yelled at me until they realized that I was doing my best to follow Chungy, who was the true lunatic. Then we were just all yelling at Chungy. Unfortunately, Nancy’s parents had gone out and the house was locked. We decided to go to the dance and immediately find some place to change her. The dress was gorgeous. Margaret is a genius. Chungy got tons of compliments. She was shocked that she was suddenly treated like a popular person. People loved my sexy date, R2-D2. I was still annoyed that I couldn’t find Obi-Wan, though.
At 10:40, we all left Hockaday for the Cinemark, as we had plans to see Harry Potter. Of course, Chungy informed us that the latest showing was at 10:30, so I drove everyone to the theater (in a sane manner) and we arrived in the middle of the first scene. Thank Percy for previews. I spent the movie explaining things to Marcelina, who hadn’t read the books, and assuring her that the books were far better than the movie, as she was close to falling asleep. I also had a Percy/Oliver/Alan Rickman/Dan-Radcliffe-as-John-Lennon/Weasley twin swoonfest, and provided a running commentary with Cherise. Highly amusing. Afterwards, I took everyone back to their cars at Nancy’s, and we all dispersed. All was right with the world.
Now see our cool buttons. I tripped just as the guy was taking the second picture. Fun. See groovy Artoo and Chungy’s fabulous dress.
Top: Me, Artoo, and Chungy.
Bottom: Nancy, me, Marcelina, Artoo, Cherise, Chungy, Emily, Mimi, and Emily’s date.
I’ll post real pictures eventually.
Is it a bad thing when you look at yourself in the mirror, wearing your sister’s nifty Winter Formal dress, and the first thing thought that comes to mind is “Cheery Littlebottom”?
::laughs uproariously:: I just got a call from Darius, the St. Marks drama king, who wanted to know if I’d be willing to take a guy to the Winter Formal, as apparently it’s spread throughout the schools that I’m taking a cardboard cutout of R2-D2. I told him I wasn’t interested, but after about 5 minutes of pleading, I conceded to just walking through the doors with him and saying that he was my date, still keeping Artoo by my side. The especially amusing thing is that I’ve never even met my “date”. His name is Zach Tuck, a name I’ve never heard before in my life. This is going to be really amusing…
I’m redoing my archives. Muaha. When I’m done, it will have the specificity of weekly (like Kell’s archives) and the ease of surfing of monthly (like my old archives). Now vote in the new poll, immediately!
