i have my ship, and all her flags are flying
we finally had a party that i got to come to! yay! it was an eggnog and cider party, and it was good. mmmmmm. "hellamadprops" to my mom for supplying the brandy. (
hella. hella. hella.) annnnd . . . my pal mary came to my party! and she brought her brother who is nice and funny. so now i have a new friend. yay!.
today is a day of yays!
(even though
chris,
karen, and
emily didn't come to my party.)
thanksgiving was interesting. we played with the doggies. we played with my sister. we had lots of food. i had some tofurkey (or faux turkey, as my mom likes to call it). i HATE that damn bird. but i like the doggies. and we didn't die on the way there, or on the way back, or even when we stopped at the outlet mall! (i don't know if we would've died because of all the people and traffic, or if god and things would have striken me down because not
only was it the outlet mall in woodburn -- ask
chris wells for details -- but it was
also the gap -- ask
chris pratt for details.)
i have put up lights in my room.
this is a very disjointed blog. but it's bedtime now.
i've been following the light across my room
so, is it, "child, why deny the obvious?" or is it "why deny the child which is obvious?"
tonight is YAY
harry potter night!! yay. also, school is getting to be almost done! lots and lots of yays! and after that we have a whole MONTH off. very exciting. but next week is thanksgiving, and i am going to astoria, and brian is coming with me so he can play with the puppies. oh! and also, yay for new grey peacoat and stripey hat.
today i am thankful for little helicopter whirligig thingies that come off of trees and fall onto the ground, and i am thankful for nice people who play leaf-catching games in the middle of the sidewalk on 13th and ask me to join them.
i think magic's in the learning
today is a day of squirrels: baby squirrels, funny jumping squirrels, and squirrels looking at me. yay for squirrels.
not so much yay for school, though. today, in my one good class, we watched a movie called
la passion de jeanne d'arc. was interesting. i've never seen a silent film before, except for clips of charlie chaplin things. and i'm reading some really bizarre and un-good poetry for my other french class:
lives for example. this is, of course, the english version and not the french one we read in class, but the french version is of comparable stupidness. (i do not like rimbaud. i have taken to calling him "rambo." it doesn't really suit him, but it pleases me.) i had a geology midterm yesterday, which i think went well. it's a class full of trivia, and i am good at trivia, especially meaningless trivia, of which this class is FULL. i don't like this class either. and in linguistics, i think i set the curve on the midterm. i did not get 100%, but i got an a+, which i think prolly means i did set the curve. yay me. now i feel slightly like i know what i'm talking about in linguistics.
i ordered a peacoat. i hope it is the right one. it was way cheaper than the one at express, so even though i know the one at express is the right one, i decided to get the other one, 'cos $80 is better than $120.
i got brian (well, for sharing, actually) the DVD of
shrek. my new favorite part of that movie is the fuzzy donkey in the outtakes!! i am in love with the fuzzy donkey. it's the cutest thing ever. he looks like a little stuffed bunny that's all cute and fuzzy, but then he's bouncing around going "i have MASTERED the stairs! i am the stair MASTER!" it's great. i love it.
i'm wearing my glasses. !! out of the house! it's amazing!
