This is hysterical, and applies, I think. Plus I just had to link Ursula Vernon. Every time I read something she's written, I think about the BWE.

Oh, and this, too: www.livejournal.com/users/ursulav/409993.html

"If I was a princess, I would demand that all my phones be shaved."

I may very well adopt this as my personal motto.

I was happy because I don't have to drive to school (35 miles each way) for a month, and what am I doing tomorrow? Making a 70 mile round trip to go to a library, because I didn't think ahead enough to return the books while I was in town for class.

Ah, well. It's the biggest library in this area, and I need to read 'Hogfather' again to get into the holiday spirit. ;D

"Ooh!" said James. "I could get Max (Max is my brother) an R/C plane! He could fly it upstairs!" (My parents live in a renovated church, "upstairs" of which is the high-ceilinged sanctuary.)

I eyed James warily. "And by that you mean "Tom and I can get hammered and fly the thing around, giggling," right?"

"Well...yes."

I've foreseen how future Christmases will go once my nephew gets old enough for me to buy him real toys.

We got my little cousin a bath robe and underwear for her stuffed animal...

Ha. I don't plan to have children, ever, but one of my best friends does want them, and she's promised that I can be a godmother. That conversation was basically:

CANELA: So I can be the cool extra-familial corrupting influence whom Mom and Dad can't get rid of because they'd feel guilty about cutting the beloved godmother out of the child's life?
CANELA'S FRIEND: Er. Yes.
CANELA: Sweet!

I heard rednecks (about 2/3 of the people around here are rednecks, it's impossible to avoid them) telling each other "May the force be with you!" instead of wishing each other a Merry Christmas in the grocery store today, but the way they said it was very forceful, like... there was something more behind it, and it was disturbing. *Shudders.* Add that to the stupid old woman in front of me who caused a huge fiasco about not having her bonus card, and the pseudo-Amish guy singing in the entryway, and... Why did I wait until the last minute to buy supplies for cookie baking?

[Oz]

You got to be shitting me. They were honestly saying, "Let the force be with you?"

We just finished putting the Christmas tree up. An ornament broke and sliced my finger open.

Mommy wouldn't let me bring meh kihee with us. *burst into tears* Mommy got in trouble though, from Grandmother, for it.
