It's scary; I'm addicted to the John William's score, March from 1941 (the film 1941...now I want to rent the film...just 'cause I hear it's funny and I hear it's bad but I want to decide that for myself...and 'cause of the score. The frakking score. Stuck in my head, it is.)
Thank God it's Friday. But, curse me, for I fell asleep at 7:30 tonight (it was a nap...), woke up to find my parents have gone to bed and I missed the first seven minutes of Ghost Whisperer. Maybe I should try going to bed earlier these nights...
and The Dead Zone? Awesome. I love it. It's good. It's my new fave show. Now I want season one. (Alas, I have to wait until Christmas/birthday. Although my birthday is five days before Christmas, so birthday, so far.)
Oh yeah, remember that Scram Latin Convention I went to last Saturday and complained how I didn't win anything? Just joking about that whole 'didn't win' thing...turns out I did win something. The teacher just didn't look hard enough in the packet (bad Holmes! bad Holmes!). Yeah...I won first place...in reading comprehension. Advanced reading comprehension. And I swear to you, and to God, I only made guesses on that one. Okay, sure, educated guesses, and those two things about the Druids I knew from studying Beowulf in English class but the rest...I guessed. Frakking guessed, right? And I still manage to get first place for some odd reason.
That is against the order of the universe, me winning first place in advanced reading comprehension. I mean, Sarah? Okay, she won second in Vocab and third in Readin Comp. I mean I shouldn't even had won first place. 'Cause Sarah is so much smarter but I won. First place. I actually beat her in something.
I'm still trying to get that in my head. I beat Sarah. She who is smarter than me in Latin...and I got first place. And she got third.
Damn. I'm not usually good at guessing but I guess luck was with me that day.
Yeah, that first place ribbon? Blue, shiny, and so totally mine. (Thank you God! Now I can show it off to my friends at choir...against order of universe, against order of universe, against...)
