bloodygranuaile1. I should be writing instead of posting this. I mean, I wrote five or six pages today, but still.
2. Creepy person leaving anonymous I-know-where-you-live comments on my last post is creepy; insists otherwise.
3. Yanno who else is creepy? The Pope. And not just 'cos he looks like Emperor Palpatine.
4. I died my hair red, yay, although not quite as red as I wanted it, boo.
5. TOGA PARTY TOMORROW
6. THEN SPREE DAY TUESDAY
7. I saw How To Train Your Dragon on Thursday. (In 3D! This whole 3D thing is actually kinda starting to piss me off; I'd rather save my five dollars, even if it is really pretty.) And it is the most adorable movie I have seen in AGES, and had me melting in a pile of squees and wibbles and I could talk about nothing except how much I want a Night Fury for an entire day. Toothless was sooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuute, and the tiny little dragons that reminded me of swamp dragons from Discworld were soooooo cuuuuuuuuute, and most of the other dragons were pretty cute too just by virtue of the fact that I think that they based how they moved on cats, except for Big Scary Mama Dragon With Like Six Eyes which I think they based off the t-rexes from Jurassic Park (it kind of looked like one, too). I also like that the hero gets to be the Big Damn Hero not by being all macho and hitting shit, but by transcending hypermasculine expectations (they're Vikings, so it doesn't actually have anything to do with maleness rather than Vikingness, but it's still what in our culture gets to be hypermasculinity) and instead using nerdy ingenuity, empathy and compassion to be awesomer than anyone else. But fighting prowess is still not entirely devalued, because the biggest FEMALE character is basically around to show how much athleticism and technical skill is involved in hitting shit and BE KICKASS. (And, y'know, there's the big crazy dragon fight at the end.) And did I mention that omg wibble squee TOOTHLESS IS ADORABLE?!?! (Still debating whether Cutest Fictional Pet Ever is Toothless or those little enchanted sootballs with googly eyes that eat rainbow sprinkles from Spirited Away.)
8. Frak the Antiquarian Society being closed on weekends. I don't know when I'll be able to get down there to research; maybe not til next week. D:
9. I went to the most drama-filled party yesterday; you don't even want to know. There was at least one people-throwing-drinks-in-each-others-faces incident, some dude pushed another (really drunk) kid in the tub because he thought drunk kid was stealing Ryan's phone (which was a fair guess, considering the Ryan gets stolen from like every two weeks or something), and someone (I don't think we ever found out who) apparently got the bathroom and the outside of the house mixed up, which meant the kitchen smelled awful and the hosts had to light like 12 sticks of incense and bring out a fan and tell all the guests that if they felt like having a cigarette or something, now would be a really good time to do that and would they PLEASE smoke in the house. And this is why we had the world's most exhaustive guest-list-vetting system for our toga party tomorrow. In other news, learned that I am very slightly better at beer pong than I thought I'd be, although we still lost.
10. Dead Like Me. Will comment when I have watched more than 2 episodes.
