My Brother and I Discuss Les Mis
Me: Gavroche's death was pretty awful.
My Brother: Yeah, it was.
Me: I mean, I'm glad it was offstage, but it was still heartbreaking.
My Brother: What's a little kid doing around the barricades anyway? They should have brought him home.
Comic Sans is a crime against humanity.

It’s not because of the necrophilia.
It’s because of the maggots, which are a million times grosser.

It needs moonlight to grow, and you have to fertilise it with the menstrual blood of a virgin.
I read this post while drinking milk.
My mouth was full.
I laughed and almost spewed all over my keyboard.

You have to plant it. And then it flowers. And then self-confidence sprouts under the second full moon in July.
the second full moon, you say?
I plant it, but it keeps dying before then. Should I keep it in the sun? I’ve just had it in the shadows in my closet.

I kind of wish I wasn't terrified of everything.
Where do people get self-confidence from?
Can I find some under rocks? Does it grow on a farm?
The world will never know.
ancslove replied to your post: So pretty much the only theater that has the movie I want to see is located in such a place that I need to take the highway.
Take someone with you, either when you go or before, on a dry run to somewhere nearby. Someone who won’t backseat drive or make you nervous!
Wish I could, but the only people in my house who could really coach me are:

And this makes me so nervous that I’m considering not going.
Because I have zero confidence in my driving ability.
I mean, I’ve only been on the highway once.

I just read this ‘cause TC reblogged it and I admit I got a little teary at the end.

Well, hey, I read about half of A View For the Future and I intend to finish it at some point and review.
But I am also lazy as hell. And when I’m not being lazy as hell, I’m catching up on the work I didn’t do when I was being lazy as hell.
Guro…is not my thing. Nor will it ever be. Even though I just learned what it was.
Actually, gore and...

so I’m going to bed now, so I don’t end up eating this late.
Night.
Don’t eat all the girl scout cookies without me.

No hipster scarf.
please.
You need something nearly as awesome as my Kermit hat.
But seriously.
Stop talking to me here.
I’m spamming people’s dashes.
We have skype.
We are both online.
So we can carry on...

YES. Either that, or we can do a dramatic reading together sometime (me as Katie and you as Seelvah, of course) so we can read off my printed copy.
You’ll need a funny hat.
mushroomofspite replied to your post: mushroomofspite replied to your post:…
What? No. Nothing is like the Seelvah voice because only you can do it properly. Her voice was kind of nasally and higher-pitched than that.
Oh my god.
I need to transcribe that story sometime.
So I can do a dramatic reading.
This needs to happen.
YOU ARE FREE MY CHILD.

Nope.
Figures.
Was it anything like the SEELVAH voice?
mushroomofspite replied to your post: so I have to listen to his long-winded powerpoint presentation on Dickens.
Last year there was a girl in my class who insisted on reading everything out loud with a British accent. And the class was American Lit.
ugh. Was it a good accent at least?
and now she's recapping A Christmas Carol.
good god this thing is only half over.
so I have to listen to his long-winded powerpoint...
Now I feel really bad that my project was so long.
I really hope it’s not as boring as this one is.
At least I didn’t try and keep up a bad accent the entire time.
And I didn’t recap Oliver Twist.
Although I did read the entirety of Rikki Tikki Tavi.
So I guess that’s almost as bad.
But at least it was a reading and not just summary.

So now I have nothing to look foward to for...
Guess I’ll just count down the days until John Owen-Jones’ newest cd is released.
because ohmygod he covers Being Alive on it.
Which is probably close to my favourite song of all time.
And was also the one song I really, really wanted to hear him sing.
