Read poem at nifty Vibrato assembly. Was actually the only person to read her own work — the only other reader was a staff member who read a past student’s poem. Was met with congratulations and queries as to details. V. Amused.
In all my brain-deadness, I somehow didn’t register the fact that Swussian Capitalist was back. So hurrah! ::loffs Tanja:: The layout looks fabulous, Britt. ::orders a “Molybdenum is the Answer” shirt::
Alan Cumming + Ewan McGreggor = Emma is a good movie.
I spent a large portion of my morning looking through my blog archives, trying to find date references for stuff I’ve done over the last year for my college apps and my National Merit thing. I found this. Tanja, if you can find it in your heart to continue this, entire continents will sing praises to your name. I absolutely love it.
Happy Birthday to Men at Arms: The Musical. I can’t remember the exact date when I decided to go for it, but I know it was in September, so today is as good a day as any. Huzzah.
As seniors are actually permitted to dress up for Halloween at Hockaday, I find myself in need of inspiration. Any suggestions for what I should be?
Thanks to Renata for pointing this out. Priceless.
More reasons to be happy: reiterated Penn-love. I’ve gotten to meet with the Texas rep three different times this week at various college fairs, and she’s come to recognize me as quite the enthusiast. For example:
[Quenby sees Eunice and me approaching]
Quenby: [happy to see us] Well, I’m not sure if I can answer any more questions you have for me by now…
Me: Oh, that’s okay! We just wanted to see you again so that you could get our faces imprinted in your memory, so that when you read our applications, you’ll think “Oh, it’s those two stalker girls who are way too obsessed with Penn!”
Omnus: ha ha ha!
Indeed.
Congrats to Natalie and high-fives to Alicey. Go us!
Yay, finally I get to see a decent-quality version of the HP trailer that actually has sound! Ah, the joy the comes from having a functional connection again… Okay, I’m excited now. With Nightwatch, CoS, and nearer proximity to the releases of TTT and The Matrix: Reloaded, November can’t come soon enough!
