This is why I like being at my dad's without Andrew. We get to do a whole mess of awesome things.

So basically, we watched Silent Hill, and then yesterday I saw the Hellboy 2 disc in the computer room, and I was all, "Oh, we should watch that" because *psht* it's Hellboy, geez. But he hadn't seen the first one, apparently, and he didn't have it, but George did, so we went to call him up. So we basically went on a joint shopping trip to Best Buy, because I guess he needed to get one of those fancy calculators for Caroline, and while we were there... :3 Well we also picked up the Dollhouse DVD and PROFESSOR LAYTON 2, OH WHAT NOW~

I know Echo's copy has a waiting list, so I figured I would get my own and not plug up the works with my procrastination. I'M SO PUMPED.

( Phoenix Wright spoilers ahead! Abbey, this applies to pretty much you. )

A word to the wise: PLAY THE PHOENIX WRIGHT GAMES IN ORDER.

Anyway, I noticed something interesting. When talking to each other, half the things that come out of either George's or my dad's mouth are quotes from something, or some kind of fandom reference. They pretty much share the same fandoms, because if George finds something awesome, he shows it to my dad, and my dad thinks it's awesome, and vice versa. They've been best friends since elementary school, and met through some fandom-related happenstance. When they were younger they totally invaded each others houses and played whichever video game the other one didn't have, particularly some game called Arctic Fox that I'm most certainly not connecting to a Shadow Moses thing at all, and in that way trying to compare the two of them with Echo and I and what what are you talking about. 

So we went over their house and Caroline had a friend over, who was apparently a Harry Potter fan. I always ask, "Who is your favorite character?" because that's how you determine what kind of HP fan a person is. Nearly everyone at camp was like, "Oh, I love Ron!" or "Hermione's really awesome!" Julia kind of shrugged and was like, "Well, I really like Remus Lupin..." And I gave her a giant high five and giggled like a maniac. Of course then she goes, "But sometimes I can't decide. I really like Snape too..." And then I couldn't give her a high five because I had passed out.

So she was a really big Owl City fan too, (Echo's already seen it, but here's their music video for Fireflies, which is the best song ever) and it seems that they're playing in Boston on the 18th. I don't know if I can go, but it would still be cool. =DDD

Apparently George has seen Silent Hill, and he was at a loss as to how I didn't find it the most frightening thing ever. So I explained the game parallels, and what they did, and at which parts I giggles, while George left is mouth open in awe, and his wife looked on disapprovingly. :3 He says, "But what about when the Pyramid guy ripped that lady's skin off!?" I said, "LOL  PYRAMIDHEAD DEFIES THE LAWS OF PHYSIOLOGY!" And then we started talking about Phantasmagoria, and don't get me started on that.

So we ordered Chinese food omnomnom and went downstairs to play old Three Stooges video games. Also, George proudly displayed his original Legend of Zelda game pack, and I was impressed as usual. (I mean, his house is like a video game museum or something; it's freaking awesome.) Also he has an old record player that's just amazing and gorgeous, and if I ever win the lottery I am going to find one somewhere and buy it.

After that, we watched this comedian act that was pretty funny, even though I fell asleep, per the usual. :3

So anyway, I finished up a bunch of my homework, so I can watch Hellboy with my dad and play PROFESSOR LAYTON OMG. I've started it, but only through the first few puzzles. But awww, emo!Layton, with his hat over his eyes and aw Layton do you need a Luke!hug~~~?

Edit: This is what happens when we visit George. I end up with loads and loads of tags. X3

I sort of lost my two-day Wolverine kick, but all-in-all... Memory wipes make everything better. Lumberjack!Logan is frigging adorable. Gambit is amazing, and is now in the lower bit of my List, and lyricalecho 's little sister would be madly in love with him. Ickle!Scott is adorable. As for "Huge Assman," it's not: I saw quite clearly. Emma is awesome. And did I mention how adorable happy!Logan is?

Exit 51 this past week was spent stalking Snapekid, mostly. He has a cool phone, and as Echo says, "He has such pretty eeeeeyessss~"

George bought a Spock action figure for me. ^.^ Actually, he moved up to #2 on my List, which is first for all intensive purposes. <333 And to be honest, I'm still sort of obsessed. In fact, I've never had any kind of desire to share any of my sci-fi/superhero fandoms with Mum, since she's not really into that, but I REALLY want her to see Star Trek. It's just so awesooooome~ (And also, I'm compelled to write Spock/Uhura fic. Is that a bad thing?) I have to draw something as a thank you note for George, I think.

I've been spamming my brain with Ouran, and it's sort of amazing. Was it Echo who described it as "G-rated prostitution"? It is, but I swear it's the fluffiest thing in the world. It's like fluff on crack, but without all the nasty  side effects. It is fanservice incarnate. XDDD So far, I think the beach episode is my favorite, or the one where they go to Haruhi's house. (Her dad is such a weirdo! *awwww*) Kyoya is on my List, somewhere in the high twenties, low thirties, I think. He can be such a jerk sometimes, but he's wonderful, really. Also, Honey = Momiji³. He's insanely cute, and I do love Mori. The Twins remind me sooo much of Fred and George, though their little angst story is incredibly sweet. And then there's Tamaki. XDDDD He's grown on me more and more, and he's just so gimmerously foppish...really need to watch the rest of the outtakes. ("That's a bad idea, Honey.")

So, Anime Boston is next weekend. (omg omg omg omg...) Genderbender!Layton is almost finished, so I think I can pull it off. I just need a top hat, but I'm going to go look for one today. I think there's a costume shop up near the Northshore Mall, so I'll go check that out. All phasers are locked!

EDIT: Dollhouse is RENEWED OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG (*implodes*)

Okay. So we know the Dollhouse finale made my brain short out in huge, sporadic bursts. Star Trek? Imagine two hours and six minutes of nearly uncontrollable squee. Like rapid-fire fangiggles. I was literally stuffing my fist down my throat to keep from giggling. And here is why:


( If I were Spock, I would say that staying up late to write this is illogical. But then again, *fangirling* is illogical, my pointy-eared friend. )

So... To be honest, I think that was the first movie I've ever watched that every time I sort of snapped out of it a little, all that was going through my head was, "This is so awesoooooome..." That, and giggling. Have I mentioned the gigglefest that I had on the way home? Because there was one. And just so much giggling. I think it's in my top five favorite movies, with Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, the Harry Potter movies, and Pride and Prejudice. (Though Finding Nemo is pretty high up there too.)

All in all, Spock has moved up to #5 on the List. Really. He beat out Diego and Remus. Just barely, but he did. I know, I know. "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?"

OMG new HBP posters! (Though, aside from the Snape!squee, I have to wonder why they keep pairing Slughorn with Hermione in all of the promos. It's worrying me.)

So Friday was my Confirmation, and I asked Mum what time we would get home. She said about nine-ish, and I asked if it wouldn't be before nine, because Dollhouse was on. "But it's Confirmation." "But it's Dollhouse." "Confirmation!" "Dollhouse!"  Speaking of which... HOLY @#$%. OMG OMG OMG OMG *I won't even go into how crazy it was. But poor Victor! And insane Paul! And Boyd! And Dominic! And TOPHER ARGH, and CLAIRE OMG IS SHE A DOLL TOO? AND WTK ALPHA WHAT THE HELL.*

So I had a vidja game revival with my dad. For starters, I uncovered my first video game, and on a much opposite train of thought, Silent Hill 2! I had a little OMG moment, all, WAIT, I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO zarla  FOR ALL THIS TIME AND IT WAS RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE ASDFGHJKL;!?!?!? Even though it is not the first one, which is of course the fandom she follows. But I also found a Buffy game for the Xbox, circa early Season 2? We've met Spike, but Angel is still good. Haven't played it yet. Anyway~ I had forgotten about one of my favorite games ever. The two Knights of the Old Republic? A+++++. I really should play at least the first one again, because, you know. <3333

But yeah, so we played through as far as we could in my first semi-serious game, which is quite difficult, actually. I can't believe the old Genesis still works, though. *They just don't make 'em like that anymore. XD* But  yeah, possibly another of my favorite games would be SoulCaliber for Dreamcast (most possibly my favorite system ever) which is good because both my dad and I are good at it. He still wins about 60% of the time, but that's much better than the 95% when I was ten. Though, what a ten year old was doing playing Soul Caliber I do not know. (LIZARDMAN GRAHHHHH~) (Also Ivy is really great, but she really needs to put some clothes on. XDDD) 

Dad says he has an Atari 2600 and a ColecoVision hanging around somewhere too. For God's sakes, those are from the early eighties!

On another note, I NEED TO GO SEE WOLVERINE ARGHHHHHH-

The title, of course, is referring to the essay that Beeks made us write. "Write about someone you know who had something really horrible happen to them, that changed their life and made them miserable. Don't write about anything happy. Make it as personal and as painful to write as you can. Make sure to angst as you write it." 

I made something up.

I finished Portal this weekend, and it has most certainly been added to my Top 3 Games list, which now includes Portal, Phoenix Wright, and Legend of Zelda: TP, in no particular order. But honestly, I love GLaDOS more than I should. "That thing is probably a raw sewage containment unit. So just go ahead and rub your face all over it." Also, I'm going to start saying, "NO WAI." Aaaand... Oh. The Curiosity Cube is my absolute favorite, even more than the turrets. "Who are you? What is that? Ooh, what's in here? Hey, look at that thing! No, the other thing! Ooh, that thing has numbers on it! Hey, you're that lady from the test! HI! Where are you going? Eeew! What's wrong with your legs!? Do you smell something burning?"

And unfortunately, I actually quoted the snarky computer  in reference to my dad, saying, "Helloooooo~? THAT'S YOU. THAT'S HOW DUMB YOU SOUND." Looking back, that was nooooot the smartest thing to do. Then again, he also didn't take it seriously, "so that's funny too."

There are so many things about the latest Dollhouse episode, that I would hardly bother to write them all down here. Simply: Sierra/Victor FTW. November breaks my heart. Sierra's backstory is also really awful, though, and I mean that in the sense that it's well-written, just really, really horrible. Echo/Caroline is awesome, but still not my favorite, even though the scene with Topher was amazing (aslyricalecho so enthusiastically points out.) Paul is sexy but insane. Unless that's just his dreams. THOSE ARE TOTALLY CRACK!DREAMS, HE'S NOT CRAZY. (And [lyrical]Echo, dear, I told you he had a thing for Caroline in particular.) But why don't I like that? It just seems wrong. Lastly, Topher, being afraid of the dark, and I honestly can't help but see him as just "the science guy," like maybe [lyrical]Echo when she grows up to be a supervillain.

Oh, hey, I was English today and I as was dumping my stuff on the back counter, I heard two generally non-dorky girls (though not quite the sporty/jock type) say something along the lines of, "Oh, yeah, I can't believe Angel came back and apologized!" And I figured since there is a guy in my grade named as such, I should ignore it. But then Molly was like, "Oh, man! Buffy was great in that scene!" After which I homed in and was all, "Uh... What are you talking about?" They muttered an ashamed, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and I was like, "OMG YOU GUYS 
ARE MY NEW FAVORITE PEOPLE." It was pretty awesome, and since they're only a little ahead of me, we would have fangirled more, but then Beeks came in. Frickety frick on a buscuit. 

Ok, so it turns out Eli!Snape has an art class at the same time, as me, but across the hall. Since my class gets out earlier, and I sometimes poke in to say hi to Ms. Colotti, I ended up seeing him in there. They're doing the horrible 'clay head' project, and Eli!Snape was holding his up to the light, and I've never seen a kid look at his art so thoughtfully (with the contemplative hand-to-his-chin gesture and everything.) This spawned many mental images of artistic!Snape, all of which made me giggle inside all the way down to lunch. It also made me think of that Bones clip I saw of Booth with his little clay horse? Was that what it was? I think so. XD *AWW*

I did my audition for All Together Now, and I sang Penny's Song. It went something like, "-and every day of rain brings water flowing to things growing in the gr-OW OW OH GOD MY VOICE CRACKED OW-nd~" It was sort of painful, but at least I can't get cut. XD

I have other things to discuss later, but I don't have time at the moment. (Stupid Essex County Project I hate you.)

(And BTW? So, there wasn't an April Fool's post. April Fools! =DDDDD)

Oooh, goodness. I've been putting this off for forever. I'll put down the stuff that I've already said outloud, but wish to stick in here for future reference.

For example, Nutella is my new favorite food. It's like spreadable hazelnut chocolate in a jar.

Also, Portal is AWESOME. I'm only at Room 16, so I'm not quite done yet. Though, I might chance to ask how it is thatlyricalecho knows GLaDOS' lines better than I do, and yet her copy of the game lies on the floor of the bedroom with the plastic wrap still on it.

"If you become lightheaded from thirst, feel free to pass out." 
 

( DOLLHOOOOOOOOUSE SPOILERS~ )

Also Buffy, whee! Ms. Walsh is either going to be helpful, bad, or dead- and I don't know which one yet. Xander is awesome and deep with his whole Dark Side speech, and Willow's hair is =DDDDDD I'll hopfeully watch the rest of the disc this weekend.

Well, today I saw Eli!Snape again. I guess he usually wears contacts or something, because today he was wearing these great glasses that were a little Mark a la Rent. You know, the rectangular ones with the thick black frames? Yeah. It made me smile inside.

Is it bad that I find this ---->  www.hulu.com/watch/40438/sesame-street-soliloquy-on-b#s-p11-st-i1 "excruciatingly humorous?"

Seaking of Patrick Stewart, I had this dream night before last, where I was driving somewhere and there were all these guys dressed up as Professor X and Magneto, and I was like, "What's with this?" and someone was like, "Duh- The Wolverine movie came out!" Which I find funny, because I don't think either are going to be in it.

Soon after that, the dream shifted suddenly to where I was River, and I was in some desert army base, and a nuclear bomb went off (guess where that came from) and I figured out that that's why I/River was crazy. In layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out River is insane because of a giant nuclear explosion.

I mentioned to Echo that I wanted to get a treadmill for my birthday, because I want to be in better shape and maybe join track next year. She proceeded to shun me.

Speaking of birthdays... I KNOW WHAT I'M GETTING EEEEECHOOOOOOO~

I keep playing Penny's Song over and over again, and I keep singing it when the house is empty, 'cause I'm going to do it for this audition next weekend. (Music Review. Beatles. Indie-Rock. Be there. PEACE.) Also, I'm posting it so that I won't chicken out and blow it off.

Kelsey is NOT DEAD YEEEEEET~

LET THE TABLE WAR BEGIN!

Yesterday, I believe it was, Peter was telling Emily and I about how he had this dream with Ms. Beekley in it. Also in the dream was a gun. And it just so happened that the gun was in a very angry Ms. Beekley's hand. (This does not, in any way, surprise me.)

Peter also couldn't stop laughing today, with another Japanese encephalitis joke. He was getting all worried like, "Oh my God, what would you do if your brain started blowing up? Would you go to the hospital? Would it just burst your head open? What would you do; what would you say!? To which I responded, "Owwwww."

Watched Dollhouse, whee! Although, I am a little worried about the future of the show (for me) simply because have I ever mentioned how I don't like blood and gaping bullet wounds and knife-slash-someone-maternal-type-things? (Am I four years old or what?) But anyway, just the general 'blood, screaming, dying' doesn't really do it for me. I'm hoping there are less cringe-worthy moments in the next one. (BUT I STILL LIKE IT. Particularly the Boyd/Echo thing, in a purely father/daughter sense. And can I mention how much I LOVE Claire, like, way more than I should? She's just so cute.)

I was reading something from my homework outloud to my mum, and instead of saying "devoured by savages," I sort of said "devoured by sandwiches."

I brought up the point this morning: my birthday sort of falls on Good Friday. So in a sense it's like, "GOD IS DEAD. Happy birthday!"

Ok, hey. I know it's ridiculous of me to think I can go a whole post without mentioning Snape, but something about the Debate occurred to me during English class today. You know how we kept talking about Snape and how he was doing the whole martyrdom/self-pitying thing that we didn't really know how to describe or explain? I think I figured it out. I think he has survivor guilt. He blames himself for Lily's death, and so he feels the need to constantly punish himself for it. It's almost like, "No, I don't deserve to be happy because it's my fault." And then, well, he became so accustomed to distancing himself and the whole self-neglect thing, that he eventually became very bitter and cruel, and he didn't really care. (This comes, of course, from Ordinary People, which a few days ago led me to wonder if Sev ever attempted suicide, and if he did, it probably would have been before Dumbles offered him a job since with the job he felt like he was at least working to be forgiven or... Something like that. I dunno. *shrug* This is what happens when you live half your life in your Snape!fic: it gets sort of crazy. XD)

Argh, there were so many things I wanted to post and I can't remember any of them. Oh well, I have a crapload of homework to do.

EDIT: btw? People should not have Buffy spoilers in their avatars. THAT IS SOMETHING I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SPIKE... FOR SEVERAL MORE SEASONS, I THINK.

Ok, here's something else I should do: I was in history class and Mr. Hanchett was talking about western immigration and stuff, and he mentioned that people went out there for better land. For some reason, this led him to say that the thing he wants most in the world (his Mirror of Erised) is just a tiny square of grass in his backyard. Because, you know, he apparently lives in Sommerville, which really is a "concrete jungle." So, for an Easter/April break present for him, I want to plant some grass seed in a little pot, and maybe stick a little mini birdhouse in it or something. That would be so cute!

Also over April break, I would like to dedicate that week to making a Snape-coat for ComicCon, but I don't know if that'll go through.

Argh, I need to watch Dollhouse. And Buffy.

I think I'm going to go to the movies this weekend; I'd really like to see Frost/Nixon. It's still out, isn't it? I'm pretty sure it is.

ELIZA DUSHKU WAS IN BOTTLE SHOCK!? NOW WHEN I WATCH IT WITH MUM (because I said I would) I KNOW I'M GOING TO FANGIGGLE. (Also, as I pointed out to the Gang, she's so awesome in that movie that she's the one snarking at Alan Rickman. =DDDDDD) 

I saw Steven in the library today, and he suddenly broke out into song. "John Jacobs Jingleheimer Schmidt!" I don't remember how Mr. Muller reacted.

I did a very stupid thing at Exit 51. I sort of went with a couple of other people to ask Ms. Beekley what she thought of Mr. Quadros' beard (which still looks ridiculous.) It was a STUPID thing to do. Really, at least when Snape snarks, it's more mean and condescending. When Ms. Beekley snarks, it's like she's trying to make your soul melt into a little puddle of shame. *Ali leans over, "Argh, stop backpedaling! You're making it worse!"* God, I think she loves how upset she makes me.

You know what I find interesting? The Insider (or whatever it's called) was on, and it seems like every five seconds there's like, "HAY GUYZ! MAH SEKRIT WEDDINS, LET ME SHOW U DEM!" I suppose I find that most annoying because of that bit of my Life's Work. It's like, "Okay, they didn't do it in secret because they wanted you to analyze everything, post pictures everywhere, and say horrible things about them. What is this 'secret' of which you speak?" Anyway, that's sort of a personal rambling (though Snape wholly agrees and says: DDDDD:<)

I was watching tv with Mum and there was a commercial for NEIL PATRICK HARRIS ON ELLEN HOLY FRICKING FRICK ON A BISCUIT- I was squeeing so hard, and I can only imagine that, had she seen it, chevy_the_geek would have had a coronary. Or her eyeballs would have popped out. That happened on House one time, you know. BUT NEVERMIND THAT. I saw a couple of pics from

church_of_nph and he's wearing this adorable little sweater vest, and have I ever mentioned how much I love sweater-vests and holy CRAP IT WAS SO CUTE.

Last thing. Everyone knows about this, but this is technically a journal, so I'm putting it down anyway. I mentioned before how I had this dream and all I could remember from it was Snape saying, "I would prefer if you would refrain from petting me like a rabbit." So now

 

lyricalecho  periodically pets my head until I say that. (Probably also because my hair is amazingly soft and so much better than hers ;3) But anyway (with my Freeze Ray~) Echo and Chevy were in health and they learned that an infant or young child should be touched at least 100 times a day because it improves self-esteem. This has led to various members of the Gang incessantly patting/poking each other while chanting "self-esteem, self-esteem, self-esteeeeeeem..." Hint: The effects are not the same if you practically hit the person, whilst screaming in their face, "SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-ESTEEEEEEEEEM!!!"

 

Bruins game tomorrow! *Edgey!whoop!*
 

I don't have time on account of history and english papers, but these are very important things.

- I wanted to watch The Wish, but D came over for dinner and danced around the kitchen with the breadbasket on his head for about six and a half seconds. I will watch it... ASAP. Promise.
- Finish the Royal fic that I stumbled across earlier today.
- Print out part of the Life's Work for hey_lookit because I said I would.
- Watch The Target, pour le Dollhouse.
- Post here that Mr. Quadros is trying to grow a beard, and I can no longer look at him without laughing because it is so ridiculous-looking. 

BTW? In the argument between Rook and Luvander (I believe?) regarding the word 'pissant?' It is a word, because Spike used it, and Spike knows everything, including the fact that mini marshmallows are little powdered blobs of healing and sugar (but mostly sugar.)

Castle Malloy and the seventy year-old orphaned bog lady with a jet pack? The end was =DDD with the outtakes especially. "Come on, let me open the box. Please? Please, please, please, pleeeeeeease?"

There was a first season House on, and younger!Wilson is even more adorable, and I think the end was the first time I ever truly 'D'awwwwww'd' at a House episode.

My mum and I just watched a short French film about a monk who tries to catch a fish. I go and comment on how European animation makes me infinitely happy, and how the monk floating away with the fish is representative of finding peace with nature. My brother says, "THAT'S NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE, STUPID FRENCH PEOPLE." Well, ma petit frere, ur face iz st00pid.

EDIT: Huh. My mum just pointed out how in love she is with the French language. "It's like flowers!" she says. "When I hear people speak it, it almost makes me want to cry inside. It's like when someone who loves music hears a really beautiful piece of music and they cry..." And then she flipped to the State of the Union quick and said, "OOH, NANCY PELOSIIIIII~ I WANT TO STICK YOUR EYES OUT WITH HOT POKERRRRRRSSSSS..."

On that note, I got to go to bed nao.

I have to laugh, even though it wasn't funny at the time. I was watching Dollhouse and you know how they erase Echo's first personality and it rewinds, and there's that little flash of her having sex with the guy? That's when my mum came in. And after a small flurry of I-Have-An-Issue-With-This, I finally got frustrated because no one was letting me watch the gorram thing, so I had to find another, more secluded tv to watch it on.

I think it's going to grow on me. It's certainly interesting. First, though? Boyd Topher? Is it just me, or does Joss have a thing for cute, blonde, dorky guys? Because he's totally Wash-ish, I think. *Especially with that adorkable sweater vest~* Also, Topher  Boyd I kinda like. I don't know why, but I do. And the woman with all the scars, I don't know her name, and she barely said anything, but for some reason I really like her. She seems kinda woobie-ish. Also, my LW (Life's Work) OC  Aestorel has sort of the same thing going on, so maybe that's another reason. And the FBI guy? (I don't feel like looking up his name.) I'm not sure if I like him yet. I think I will, even though he's technically the bad guy, but he's also slightly woobie-ish, and oddly enough I can't really think back to any particular moment that would point to that other than his failtastic marriage.

What I think is the most interesting thing about Dollhouse, is simply that Joss is known for great character development (among other things) but here we have some characters that... Well, have no character. So we get attached to a different personality each week, and then it's erased. Huh.

So Valentine's Day I volunteered at this party at my church, and I got to hand out champagne. It was awesome. And also, opening those things up? There's some serious recoil. There was also (lyricalecho</lj> PAY ATTENTION TO THIS) a chocolate fountain, and after everyone left we got to clean it (read: chip off all the hardened chocolate and eat it.) John even started taking some off the tablecloth, and after he ate about half of it, we reminded him that it probably dribbled out of some little kid's mouth. "UGH! IT'S BACKWASH CHOCOLATE!"

Also, we got to walk around with trays of bagel bites and mini spinach pies and stuff, and I stopped at this table with an old couple and the guy was all nice and "Oh, I'll take one," and just as he reaches out, his wife is all, "I'LL HAVE ONE TOO" and snipes it right out from under his hand. It was old peep reflexes FTW. But then we had this whole thing where we were all hanging out with our trays like, "Uuuurgh, I really want to eat one of these pie things," and Father came over all, "You should totally have one!" And he offered to hold the tray and we were like 'hey, you can't make the priest hold it,' and then he made a joke about "I was called to serve," and then we sort of started making religious jokes and 'spinach is the devil's plaything' and then Father left and it was quiet for a second. And then Reed was like, "I don't know if he thought the God jokes were really funny, or really offensive."

So then I got home and I found D sitting on our couch watching Masterpiece Theater's Sense and Sensibility. And I was like, "=DDDDD ceiling_smiley</lj> and I LOVE Col. Brandon!" And D's like, "I KNOW, RITE?" (Speaking of which, Timothy Spall is in the MT Oliver Twist, and Maggie Smith too, and also this guy who sort of looks like Matthew Macfadyen but isn't...)

But anyway, it was so cute, because D and Mum got each other the same card, and they also got me the same card, so it was just like, '=DDDDDDDDDDDD' Mine is so adorable, with Pooh and Piglet, and I'm seriously going to put it in my locker. I gave my Mum a neat card that I bought from the Photo Club, though, and that was nice too.

Now I'm sitting here pigging out on Winfrey's samplers and chocolate walnut fudge (which is the beeeeeest) and I feel like I'm ten thousand pounds. But it's sooo good.

Also this morning, I'm looking at all the vaccinations I do/don't need to get before the China trip. I found this website that talked about all different countries and what you have to get, and it was like: Australia: yellow fever, because they don't want it in the country; Guam: normal vaccinations; Egypt: normal vaccinations; Canada: normal vaccinations; France: HEPATITIS B OMG DON'T HAVE SEX WITH ANY FRENCH PEEPS~ I don't know why I found that so funny. But Mum is convinced that I'm going to get everything in China, like rabies and typhoid and all of this stuff... There was a site though that said you need to get vaccinated for "Japanese encephalitis" which apparently makes your brain blow up like a balloon before it kills you. Great. 

On that note, it's going to be a great vacation! Happy Day After Valentine's Day! <333333333333333333333
