My Parent Teacher Conference, And My Possible Psychic Connection To Mr. M. And Mr C. Plus "Ooh, Look, It's Shiny. . ."

My Parent Teacher Conference. . .

All: (Gasp, hands to mouth, terrified. Erik's scary theme music plays in the background.)

Went really well!

All: Huh?!?

Yeah, I know, how do you figure that? But nevertheless, it's true. Weird stuff, no? Other than Coach H.'s weird comment about eyebrows to Micheala, he's a pretty nice guy. Anyone who really loves Sir Laurence Olivier's Othello cannot be truly evil. (Although, let's face it, even Sir Laurence O. looks dumb in blackface makeup. Before you accuse me of racism, look it up.) He looks very different in a suit though, what with the yellow tie, and the blue shirt, and the. . .yeah, exactly. But moving on.

I think Mr. C. and Mr. M. . . .wait for it. . .wait for it. . . like me. Isn't that just weird? I didn't even know that they were human. I don't particularly mind Mr. C., other than the lectures, and the tests, and the projects, and that whole Anthro class thing, but Mr. M.? Eh. I have an A- in English (odd) and a B in Anthro (really ODD). So I don't know. Mr. C. likes me or something. And as for Mr. M. . . .well, really, I don't get it.

I don't suppose it's my C.'s fault that his subject is boring, arid, bomb, bromidic, bummer, characterless, cloying, colorless, commonplace, dead, drab, drag, drudging, dull, flat, ho hum, humdrum, insipid, interminable, irksome, lifeless, monotonous, moth-eaten, platitudinous, plebeian, prosaic, repetitious, routine, spiritless, stale, stereotyped, stodgy, stuffy, stupid, tame, tedious, threadbare, tiresome, tiring, trite, unexciting, unvaried, vapid, and wearisome, nor is it really Mr. M.'s fault that he is sadistic, adamant, brutal, cold, cold-blooded, cruel, cutthroat, fierce, grim, hard, hard-hearted, harsh, heartless, implacable, inexorable, inhuman, ironfisted, killer, malevolent, merciless, mortal, obdurate, pitiless, relentless, remorseless, revengeful, sadistic, savage, severe, stern, stony, surly, unappeasable, unfeeling, unforgiving, unmerciful, unrelenting, unsympathetic, unyielding, vicious, vindictive, and utterly without pity.

Yay. I love my thesaurus.

And not only that, but now hear this! Um, yes, it's a shiny thing. Isn't it lovely?

Who, me obsessed? Me? Little me?

Okay, the fact that I'm considering shelling out thirty bucks for this thing is sad. Yes, it is. I have dealt with this. I am still begging the thirty bucks off of the gorgon upstairs, AKA, mom.

Other Quote of the Day

"You just can't perform Shakespeare uncut anymore. I mean, audience attention spans are just so - Hey look, is that Ben's mom?"

Yet Another (Really Extremely Long) Quote of the Day

"Hey, I can go to my teachers and say "Well, I'm really sorry. I had it done... I had everything planned out... but, well, Merry and Pippin came along... and you know how how much a parallelogram looks like a mushroom? Er yes, me neither... but that's beside the point. Which leads to another random rabbit trail - if something is beside the point, a lot of people who are aiming for the point in the conversation or something must hit that, the Place Beside The Point... if enough people hit it, it can soon become more popular, or at least more widely known, than the point itself. Shouldn't it then become A Point in its own right? When is the dividing line, when something that is beside the point becomes the point. Hmm...."
