Il est bel et bon

Il est bel et bon, bon, bon, commère, mon mari,
Il ètait deux femmes toutes d'un pays,
Disant l'une à l'autre avez bon mari?
Il ne me courrouce ne me bat aussi.
Il fait le ménage, il donne aux poulailles,
Et je prends mes plaisirs.
Commère c'est pour rire
Quand les poulailles crient:
Co, co, co, co, de, petite coquette, qu'est ceci?



So we are singing this song, "Il est bel et bon," in concert choir and it's (obviously) in French. And you know what? I really, really, really miss being in French class. I mean, I rocked the French honors students with my amazingly mad French skills. And you know how much French I can speak now? None. Well, practically none. I think the most complex thing I can say is est-ce que je peux aller au toilette s'il vous plait? That's right. I can ask if I can go potty. And that's basically it.

Well, okay. I can talk about weather, too. Par example, aujourd'hui, le 7 de février, il fait très froid. Mais, il ne fait pas pleut aujourd'hui. Je déteste le pleut. But that's it. That is pathetic. I was a French honors student for two years. I was in French for three years. I attended French Symposium three years in a row. I was asked to be in the French Honor Society. I rocked at French like Tom Paris rocks the holosuite. But now I don't. That is just pathetic.

I really want to take some French classes now and pick back up what I've forgotten. I don't like that I've forgotten so much of it. It really bothers me.

But since I'm on the subject of les toilettes...

The stupid women's potty keeps breaking at Party City. So I can never use it. It literally only works when I have no use for a toilet. And, yes, I have been saying potty for the vast majority of this post. Yes I am in college. Yes I still use the word "potty." It is one of my many charms. Potty. Gawd...just saying it makes me feel so juvenile.....


Je suis très fatigué maintenant. I don't know why though....


OH AND IN ASTRONOMY TODAY I GOT TO BE MARS. THAT WAS THE EPITOME OF COOL.


Haha...every time I hear someone say "That's not P.C." (as in "politically correct"), I think they mean "That's not Party City," because that's how we abbreviate Party City at, well, Party City.

Gawd I am in such a weird mood today.



For some reason, on the way to Party City from school, I was reminded of the train wreck that was graduation day. I really think that that whole day was absolutely disgusting. I cried once Keri, Trav, and I got there because I was really sad my dad would not be there and I remember specifically telling Keri not to tell anyone I had been crying, and yet as soon I climbed up on the risers for the seniors to rehearse SSB what do I hear but, "Hey Megan? Are you okay? Why were you crying?" What?!?! After the whole ceremony (which was long and boring and could have used some excitement) and eating a really late lunch with the family (Gene counts as family in my head, fyi) I was waiting and waiting and waiting at home for either Keri or Travis to call me to let me know whether or not they were going over to Whitney's party so I could get a ride, since I wasn't sure where she lived. By the time I FINALLY got in touch with one of them (Keri, because Lurch never answers his phone), I found out that they were both there and had FORGOTTEN to call me. Oh, and could I get a ride to Amy's that night because of some lame reason that meant they couldn't get me? Gee....thanks guys.

Really though, I'm glad all that shit happened and I was able to spend the night with Alex and Ben, because those two are the most amazing guys I have EVER known. Alex is so sweet and funny and Ben is.....Ben. 'nuff said.

But still....I wonder what warranted me being constantly "forgotten" all throughout middle and high school? I always felt like the last one to be included. And I know I wasn't the only one. There's another person, an absolutely brilliant and amazing person who was also left out a bunch and I honestly want to know why we weren't good enough to get invited everywhere. No, scratch that. I don't think I want to know. It would probably just be some lame-ass excuse anyways.

But you know what? Now I'm in college and I have at least two completely NEW people who think that I am kind of a big deal and fierce. And I like that. I just want to know why it took so long for anyone to notice.


Hehe...since I'm on the subject of Dad, I'm sure he'll be disgusted to know that Mommy got me an Elvis shirt for Christmas. He hated Elvis. Oh, and I've been blaring the King in the truck too. His truck. Elvis blaring in his truck. XD OH AND I AM PWNING EVERYONE AT CALCULUS DADDY!!!!!!! WOOO!

Really stupid and pointless. I wouldn't read this unless I were really bored. I was seriously going to delete this after writing, but I figured...well I don't think I figured anything. Well, actually, yeah I was. I just...as weird as it is, I like to read about when people are having hard times (either fictionally or not) because it makes me see how blessed and easy my life is. I don't know if some of you are the same or not. I want to be able to go back to yesterday, see how miserable it was for me, and say "hey--I don't need other people to show me how great my life is, all I have to do is look at October 25!" So...yeah...trying something new this time around. Stupidity ensues....

< unnecessary post >

So...woke up today freezing my ass off. Could barely drag myself out of bed and am suffering from horrible allergies. Yesterday was awful...exhausted and allergy-ridden and cold.

( Dear Party City customer... )

No offense, Kayla, by the blue apron thing. Just wanted to pick a store to use as an example that everyone would know about, even my out-of-state friends. And, let's face it, Wal-Mart sometimes makes it just too easy.

So...yeah. Been wanting to say that now for 1 year+ Since last Halloween season (i.e. September 06) started. Just thought some people would like some insight in something they couldn't give a shit about.

NaNo in less than a week-ish. Trying to find someone in the area to write with (kind of half-heartedly, I'll admit). I'm a bit weirded out though because last night my novel plans kind of flew out the window. I had that one idea that I had written about earlier...but now I'm pretty sure I'll be swapping that idea for one that is...well, I can't say easier, because NaNo is not meant to be easy....but I think it'll be smoother writing (?) idk....I'm a bit panicky because I'm not completely sure, but I am getting closer to positive that my idea has changed. I was actually kind of inspired by last night actually.

It feels weird, not preparing to Trick-or-Treat this year. I love it and I love getting dolled up in a costume. This year I'm staying home in my pjs. I had decided that last year, my senior year of high school would be the last for me. It's just...idk, strange? It's the end of a tradition...

*le sigh*

Back on Gaia for the moment....let's see how long it lasts before I get fed up with it again. They switched the site up on me again. I'm really not too sure how to navigate. It may as well be in Japanese for all I know.

*le sigh deux*

No poptarts this morning...I'm eating animal crackers. I think I'm in pop tart withdrawal, which just may be what is causing this weirdo mood.

< /unnecessary post >

I love my cats. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Anyone wanna NaNo with me?

Ugh. Okay. So I am totally feeling the two jobs + full time student thing. I'm not going to be able to do it next semester...I'm wanting to pick up at least six more hours.... :\ Meh.... ANYways...bah!

I love my cats.

Yeah. Should not have complained about "only" having a very very very very very light cold. I just jinxed myself and now I feel worse. Meh....

BUT! I'm going to bed...there was a lot I wanted to write about, but I'm just too tired. =.= So I am going to go to bed....not that early....but whatever. I had some tea, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. Ah, but this is my usual state, isn't it?

Lately, every time I think of Uglies, I get "Not Gonna Get Us" stuck in my head. Especially when I think about Tally and the Cutters (ha! that sounds like a band!) Just picture a great hoverboard scene (or maybe mag lev surfing) and listen to that song. It's just so...fitting.

I really hate it sometimes. Without thinking, I automatically go, "Oh, sure...I'll blah blah blah blah" and then afterwards I'll be kicking myself and just really upset because I didn't actually want to, but I feel too bad to say that I changed my mind or to just say no in the first place. It happens all the time. And it seems like no matter what I do, I always just end up feeling incredibly horrible.

I have a very, very, very, very, very slight cold. It's so tiny, it's practically miniscule, but I really want it to go away because flu shot season is coming up and I want to get one as early as I can and I'd hate to think that I can't just because I'm BARELY SICK. I mean geez....of all the times to be feeling extremely well while I'm sick. Can't I just get a stomach flu or bronchitis or something? It just seems so pointless to have to delay it for something so small....

Party City = Love, that is all.

Also, check out this: [link] It's an art meme I'm going to do. Probably tonight because there is no better way to not write two papers than to do an art meme when you can't draw. Also, my scanner has been dead for years, so I will be drawing it, photographing it, and then attempting to edit it into the damn meme. Way to burn some time...

Can't wait for Oni.....

Love love love love love love love love love love love love you guys like death

The much talked-about Alice Temperley blouse: [link]

I'm wearing it today with my Meta antique-bouqet skirt. :D

I had waffles swimming in syrup today and now my stomach is starting to hate me... D:

Ordered La Vie en Rose....waiting to get Extras tomorrow......

Really, really, really tired.

Start at Party City today....damn. I want sleep. -.- <zzzzz)

BIG DAY BIG DAY BIG DAY BIG DAY BIG DAY.....

Off to work for about two and a half hours before class, then to eat and relax for about two hours or so, then to my film class where we will be ideally finishing off Pan's Labyrinth quite quickly so that I can leave and join my fellow denizens and demons at Party City for my First Day Back. Yay me!

I get off about ten, my mother will be home a bit after that (she's going to some ASL conference thingy at Montgomery College) and then we will have a glorious reunion and all that jazz quickly go through each other's days and then settle down in time for the weather report on the news.

I still haven't studied for my Precalc test tomorrow. I still haven't studied for my History test tomorrow, nor have I bought the damned scantron for that devil lady. I haven't read my English assignment that we're having a quiz on today. I am, in fact, horribly behind in prepping for today and have a lot to do. Now this is what school is supposed to be like. I knew that taking the job at Party City was worth it. The past month or so of school has been just too relaxed. I just don't know how to function unless I'm panicking and stressed out and ready to bite off the heads of anyone who comes near me. I'm not used to being relaxed!!!!!

So, yay stress and stuff....let's just hope my weight and my hair stay where they are this time :D




IN OTHER NEWS....

EXTRAS COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! WOOO!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG......BUBBLY!

I GOT A JOB AT PARTY CITYagain...!!!!!

Here's how it happened:

Got home from school today and said, "Mom, let's go to Party City" and she was all "Nooooo...I have no money, I don't want to go anywhere if I can't spend money" (talk about shopping issues.....mebbe she needs a help group?) and I was like "Well neither do I...let's go!" SO....we went.

We walked in, reveled in the Halloween goodness for all of two seconds and then Eddie (one of my old managers) walked up and was like, "Hey Megan...you want a job? Great you start Monday, fill out this paper work."

And thus.....I have another job.

Yeah...yeah...I've still got work-study for about 10 hours a week and yeah, I've still got my 13-hour course load....BUT. Now I can put away all of the money I get from work-study into savings/paying for necessary things (i.e. gas, insurance, asthma medicine, deodorant/shampoo/conditioner, etc.) AND still use ALL of my monies from Party City for lolita, cons, movies, gifts, whatevs. AND I AM GOING TO BE WORKING AT PARTY CITY DURING HALLOWEEN SEASON. That = one free meal everyday I work during October. Mostly because the managers offer it as an incentive to not take off to go and get food so you're back on floor faster....but still. FREE FOOD.

Boo. Yah.

WOOOOO!!!!

Anyways....have you guys got any great Halloween plans yet?

ALSO:

I've been wondering....for those of you who have seen the original Japanese subbed (NOT DUBBED on Cartoon Network crap)Naruto: what is your favorite opening and/or ending theme?

ALSO:

For those of you who like Japanese music: fav band/singer and why?

ALSO:

For those who have watched Star Trek (TOS)....what is your favorite episode? (I don't care about the why really....because it is Star Trek and THAT = AMAZING/POSSIBLE NEW WORLD RELIGION)
