Well, we have a dishwasher, too, but it doesn't work very well, so one basically has to wash the dishes before they ever go into the dishwasher...... and our silverware is real silver, so that can't go in the dishwasher for fear of being scrached, mangled, or otherwise mutilated...... along with just baout every other dish, pot, pan, or other untensil that we own, 'twould seem.

So here I am, bored, as always. It's partially your fault, Mip. Other people's moods affect me. But you can't help being bored, and it's really the fact that nothing's happening. Argh. Lëo's ordered me to read the Discworld books. I'll get around to it sometime.
I really hate those stupid "friends don't let friends......" sayings, but I'll do a few of my own, because I feel like it.
Friends don't let friends love Harry Potter (is e-vile!).
Friends don't let friends be on the outside.
Friends don't let friends get depressed without trying to do something about it.
Friends don't let friends eat cameras.
Friends don't let friends wear deranged farm shirts.
Friends don't let friends be friends with people who aren't their friends.

*sheepish grin* Sorry.. I'm in a gloomy-ish mood right now. Does that apply to uncles? Because really... I find it amusing when my uncle eats cameras.

Of course it applies to uncles! What do they do when he tries to eat the video cameras they film with, though? He almost did at the TTT premiere.........
EDIT: Ha! I've been here a little bit less than a month, and I'm already at two hundred posts! At this rate, I shall be PT eligible by Easter, if not before! Now I understand how Mip got to 1,300 something posts! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I keep diary entries in my head, and post in my head, and everything. I don't get it- I'll plan to post something here, and then I'll come to make a journal entry, and completely forget what I wanted to post. Yes, so anyway, here's part of it, at least. I was thinking that I have a pretty good balance in my RPG characters. I'm currently playing two males, and two females. One is seven, one is nineteen, one is twenty-four, and one is fourty-five. I have a hobbit-lass, a wildcat, a young Gondorian and a young woman from Ithilien. I'd say that's a pretty broad spread. And then I was thinking about books that all of my characters could write, so, here for your viewing pleasure, I will now "generate a list," as my mom says. Rebnevon: Power GamesElanor: How to Be Adorable and Make Everyone Love You, subtitled How to Rescue Your UncleRían: Completely UnawareDervorin: Silent PonderingsYes, so there you have it, my friends. Dervorin's from "The Princess of Gondor" at the Citadel, which was great but has all but died. At least, Dervorin was great. Put it that way. Elanor is, of course, Elanor Gamgee from "Hobbit Matchmaking," which most of you are in at Arda. The other two you assuredly know about. And a big huzzah! that Lëo joined the GRM forum, and liked it. ;D ;DIt's always nice when these experiences are pleasant. I wish I could say that about other things, like trips to the orthodontist. Alas, 'tis not to be. So, I'm sitting here stewing in boredom, because, according to Lëo, I can. ;D

No one has been on all day.... What's up with all of you? Really, on AIM there's been no one but GOTO, and she's away... You finally had that party without me, didn't you? I thought as much! Oh, and by the way, I... um.... well, I did something Firi and Mip will want to stab me for. You can go look if you like.Yes, so anyway, have I ever told you how lofty my mom is? She really wants to take me to a fabric store, and we're going to get some sort of blue tartan fabric to make a bedspread out of... I'll have a Scottish bed! Huzzah for me! ;D ;D ;D Thing is, though, I'm not sure how we'll find someone with a sewing machine....

Well, I'm going to be gone this evening and part of the day tomorrow. My mum has been finishing her degree, and her graduation is tomorrow, but it's several hours away, and she needs to be there at eight o'clock in the morning (which means rising at some unearthly hour, and she is not an early riser). So we're driving over there this afternoon, staying in a hotel, and then driving back tomorrow afternoon. Fun. But it'll be okay, I guess. I wish there was some way I could be online, but I doubt there is. Oh well.
You're probably wondering why my mum is only just finishing her degree. Well.... she moved colleges and changed her major three or four times, and each time that set her back a year or so. Then I was born, and she was almost done with school (realise that because of said set backs, this does not mean she was twenty-one). Then my dad started going to seminary to get a master's degree (actually, I think that was slightly before I was born, but... whatever). So she didn't go to school then, because we couldn't have afforded it, and having one person in college in a family is more than enough. And then we moved to Prague.... So anyway, since we've been back she's finally finished her degree. Yup. And now I have to go a graduation when I suspect there's stuf that needs doing here, and I would gladly do it if I could. I can, just not today. But oh, I wish I could. So whoever just possibly knows what I'm talking about, I'm sorry, and I'll be here tomorrow.

I don't feel like editing this into my other post. I've been in a really good mood all day, until now. I quite foolishly decided to go look at the grade for my English project. Big mistake. I got a 92! That's the lowest I've ever gotten in this program! And the project was important, too! And there's nothing I can do about it, because I'm sick of protesting every time I get a bad grade, even though their system's really messed up! I've never gotten anything but a hundred on my English projects! Gah! *stabs English grading-teacher-person repeatedly with stabbing device* You think I could have gone outside, eh? You think I could have done what I did, but suggest that I do it anyway? You think I could have actually gotten up in the mornings? I did really well with what I had, and I needed to get it done. I'm not about to alter my schedule just for your assignment. If you want me to do a specific thing, then make your instructions clear! And I really liked my essay! It was a good essay, examining the conditions placed upon me and how I worked through them! But no, you can't see that! I don't care if you don't have an impression of the location, maybe I don't want you to! Maybe I feel too private about the location! Maybe there's nothing here to see! So there! ever thought of that? I bet you didn't. It's not like I go anywhere, it's not like I really could have observed a grocery store at three am, but I don't suppose you care. I did well, I tell you, well!
Heh... maybe I should have warned you. But I didn't expect to rant like that.

Heh... that's my lowest grade all year.
Anyhow, Ala did a little supposed pondering thingie, and I have one, too, because hers made me think of mine. My grandfather actually said it, and it impressed me -
"You have to know what is true in order to lie."
That's translated from Czech, but it's a fairly good translation. And I find that very interesting. In order to lie, you must know the truth. Huh. So... every time someone lies, they actually know better, and so saying something wrong when you don't know any better isn't lying. All of that is rather obvious, but it's not something people really think about...

Heh.. I love spelling... but then, I don't get grades. I guess I could attribute the fact that I'm good at it to I read almost 24/7. I can read three 200-300 page books a day. I read the fifth HP in one day.. but mabye I shouldn't mention that.

You don't get any grades at all? Not on tests, or anything? My only grades come from tests and projects (usually essays), but I still get grades. What program are you working with, might I inquire? I'm not sure what my fastest read in one day was. I'm not that fast of a reader, which is kind of funny, since I learned to read early, and have done it all the time since then.... I can speed read, somewhat, but I hate it. I always say that the reason I read slower is that I try to take everything in instead of just skimming through it. In LOTR I read or sing the poems mentally, and then I sing or recite them. But I think that's just me.
