"freaks", geeks, and well.... rainbows?
I just gave my speech on Mrs. Fanning in Public Speaking. It covered all the basics: how she has to dodge spit balls and paper airplaces, scream loud enough for us to hear her while we talk about our weekend activities, her fascination with small shiny objects, her days in Haight-Ashbury as a hippie under the alias of "Rainbow".... well okay- maybe it wasn't COMPLETELY accurated. But Mr. Wilson loved it. And I didn't even have to bang him for a good grade!
See? My entries aren't boring!!! Even though yesterday's was dreadfully blase'. Heh heh. Words. Gotta love em.
Speaking of words, look up serendipitous--- it will be the word of the day appointed by me for you all to learn if you don't already know its meaning. Then use it in a sentence. Then dance for joy over the awesome way it sounds and how you can use it in the right context! YAAAAY!!! Trust me, you'll feel fulfilled for the day. That is if you aren't hungry. Then you should eat pizza! Yum yum yum yum! Wow am I on speed?
I must say, I appreciated all the helpful comments from my friends who tried to spice up my last post. Thanks guys. It really makes me feel like an accomplished writer.
Has anyone seen the 1932 movie "Freaks"? I want to see it sooo bad! It looks utterly terrifying. It's about these Circus freaks- midgets, pin-heads, a guy with only a torso and no limbs, hermaphradites, and all sorts of other creepy people... apparently their friend, the head midget (hahaha that sounds weird), is a millionaire and the beautiful trapeze artist who travels with them finds this out, plans to marry him for his money, kill him on their wedding night, and run away with her lover- the circus "strong man". Well the freaks catch wind of this, and they vow to pay her back, BIG time.
I saw a clip from this movie on this countdown on the Bravo network- "100 scariest movie moments" and this was on there. They showed these unfortunate freaks, who were not actors, but real deformed people (it was 1932, so political correctness didn't exist apparently, and production company executives had no qualms about exploiting deformed children), chasing this woman, thunder and lightning crashing, rain pouring, all the while chanting from their mangled mouths this gibberish that sounds like, "Gooble Gobble Gooble Gobble, WE WILL MAKE YOU ONE OF US!"
::shivers::
I read that it was banned in Britain till 1962, and the ban has yet to be lifted in Ireland, Sweden, and Norway. So this is stuff that was at one time very controversial...
So Joel and I are planning to have a "Trainspotting" and "Freaks" party. Whoever wants to see them should join us and prepare to be revolted! YAAAY!!!
My uncle and older cousin Daniel are staying with us over the weekend from the UP. Thats right, they're "Yoopers"... and they live in the middle of NOWHERE. The closest convenience store is in Marquette--- 45 minutes away. Ughhh...
So at least that will give me an incentive to study for my finals so I don't have to involve myself in conversations that fail to captivate even the teensiest tiniest bit of my interest. Please--- call me all weekend. I'm going to die!!!
330 days....
Sexy.
