Instead of ranting about those republican tree haters and how Chris Bengston is my archnemisis, mainly because he wants to burn down Alaska, I will instead focus on the positive, that being my juicy gossip:
Getsuyoubi *pause* Tomsanwa *pause* Sumisusan to isshouni *pause* eigawo mimashita!
Are you scandalized? You should be.
We now return you to your regularly sceduled hater of freedom-denying, tree-hating, self-interested, chauvanistic, enemy-making, dumb presidents.

And now it is time for the post homecoming report, and the last one I'll ever have to write (thank Heaven).
I got up around 10 due to the fact that I was at the game until late. My throat still hurt. I wrote my dad an e-mail and then searched the internet to see if I cuold find out how to put my hair into a beehive. I sort of found it, but it was much to complicated for my taste.
Mommy ix-nayed the plan, so I took a shower, got dressed, then made death by chocolate. I had so much stuff that it piled out of the bowl.
I watched Quantum Leap for a while until Mommy decided I needed to get ready, which I did in about 10 minutes, so the plan would have worked. I even found my makeup. I was hard to figure out what to do with my hair, though. I eventually settled on hairsticks.
I couldn't remember which shoes I had worn, so I thought, "I'll look at the wedding pictures!" Due to my extreme sneakiness and craftiness, however, I was not in any of the wedding pictures. I eventually remembered I had worn the chinese style slippers.
Mommy and I decided to go to CVS and buy makeup and then go to a movie after dinner, so we looked up the movie times, then Jess's address.
We went to Jess's and were not late. Then they wanted to take pictures, so Amanda, Beth, and I fled. Our informant, who shall remain nameless, directed us to the porch. I'm sure that nobody else cared, but it was fun for us. We even hid under my shawl. Mrs. Bethy almost caught us, but we hid well. Or maybe she was just pretending.
Then we ate. Amanda, Beth, and I had the "Single and Loving it" table. Then we hid Andy's camera. Then Christine came over, Amanda said she couldn't sit there, and Christine voted to change the name to the "About to be Single and Loving it" table. Oo, dis.
I mainly ate cocktail weenies, but also had some pasta and notsospicy chicken. I also ate with my hairsticks to appease Beth. Then I had a pumpkin bar and some death by chocolate for dessert.
I wandered downstairs to find Jess's cute fish, which everyone thereafter flocked to see. We watched some baseball, had celebrations and dismays about the college football score, and then they all left.
Mommy had told me she was going to come back at 8 but then she said I was supposed to call her. No matter. We helped clean up, snarked Mrs. DeSoto's and Mrs. Bertoglio's bowls, and then were off.
We had to stop at Rite-Aid instead of CVS, which apparently has a much bigger selection, and we saw some people going to Robinson's HC and Keito's friend Micelle(?). I don't think I can spell Robinson or Micelle. Anyway, We bought makeup, so now I have blush, eye liner, and eye shadow. Mommy wouldn't buy me blue, so I got purple. She says blue eye shadow should have died in the 80's.
Fairfax Town Center was out destination, to see "Shall We Dance." It was actually very good. I still want to see the Japanese version, though.
And that is the end. No intrigue, just me and my mom.

How common are capncosmo's interests
I am sad because the wrong logo is on the senior shirts, and it had to be the one I drew. :( Also because I ordered a medium...? Something tells me this is wrong.

Wait a minute, I forgot to express my OUTRAGE.
So, we went to JMU. There was a band with a bigger pit than a guard. There were some cool ships/balloons. It was good.
UNTIL THIS ONE BAND was doing a WWII show and started playing FIRST CONTACT! Why can they play Star Trek and not us when we have Star Trek uniforms and they were doing a WWII show!? BTW, if John wanted to win and make the winter show Star Trek, I would do it in a heartbeat. Just so you know...
So apparently I have to be skittle tommorrow? *sigh*
Also, this is for all Alumni who may be comming for HC:
There's a thing in the band room before the game where they want you to go so they can give you free pizza. I think. I'm sure if I'm wrong I'll be promptly corrected. I also think they want to know you're coming. And since I'd like to know if you're coming, I'll tell them if you tell me.
