He Needs to Put Some Money in the Karma Bank
Hello people!
I dressed up in my costume today! :D I had on my suit, my black wig, my eyepatch, my guitar pin, my mustache, and my stethoscope. I didn't get a pic today, but I'll re-dress and take a pic and post it tomorrow, scout's honor. People were amused by my costume, lol. But I did take everything but the suit off when I went to the DARE thing.
Alrighty, we had a quiz in photo this morning, and I didn't study, but I knew all the answers, so YAY. We did very little in math, thankfully. Oh, Pagnanelli (teacher) told us our grades from somewhat of an older test. I got one of the highest grades in class! :D WHOOT! And I got an extra five points on my overall grade for it.
Kay, so, today was the DARE role model thing. I got a pass that said we (there were three of us, including myself) had to leave at 9:40. Guess what that means? I didn't have to take my AP Gov. test! Which=win cuz I totally didn't study last night. ;D So, yeah, I got really lucky that we had to leave so early. I caught a ride with one of the other kids going, John Kinney. We actually didn't know where the school was that we were going to, so we called the cop guy running the whole thing.
We wound up getting a little lost, but we still arrived at the school right on time. Although, the other girl that was going to this thing had arrived twenty minutes earlier, lol. *shrugs* Oh, well. We met up with Officer Blevins (I think that was his name) and talked about what this whole thing would entail and then we headed off to the two 5th grader classrooms we would be addressing.
It went really well! We talked about ourselves a little and then discussed high school, video games, TV, internet, drugs/drinking, and a bunch of other stuff! These kids were smart, guys. Ridiculously smart for being so young, imo. It was really awesome. Following the Q&A's, we went to lunch with the kids, then recess. I met three little girls who all loved to write (and had some great fucking ideas! :D) and shared my distaste for Ohio.
I normally don't like children very much - I find them annoying - but these kids were AWESOME. Especially those three girls. I loved them, lol! I hugged 'em all before we left, but I wish they were my age so they had a Facebook or something so we could keep in touch. Oh, well. So, then, John gave me a ride back to school and mom picked me up. We stopped at the store quickly then went home.
Dad was rushing to finish the Halloween decorations, so we all pitched in. It came out AMAZING. We did an Ancient Egyptian tomb. It rocked. I helped paint heiroglyphics and I can't even explain it, lol.
We had most of the neighborhood come out to see it. Like, people drove to our house from all over the neighborhood. It was so cool. And a buncha people were like, "Yeah, we remembered how great you guys were last year, we had to come see what you did this year." And a woman said that her daughter had been saying all year that they had to come back to our house for Halloween. Dad was SO thrilled. <3
Unfortunately, we gave away most of our candy, and Nick and I don't really trick-or-treat anymore (long story), so we only get what's left, which is very little. I think Nick and I might have to stop in at the store in the next coupla days and get on sale Halloween candy. XD WHOOT. Oh, title of this post is from Wife Swap. One of the husbands said that they believe in the karma bank, and the bitchy wife said that. *points to title*
I'm suddenly exhausted. Huh. Sorry this post took so long, I was out with teh rents giving out candy and such. It's fun watching kids get scared, LOL! Oh, yeah, and I'm kinda annoyed with myself cuz I didn't finish the story I wanted done by tonight. I'm gonna have to work on it this weekend cuz I NEED to finish it. Grr.
And I might drabble a little Jon/Stephen fluff. ;] Speaking of, blossomcup posted a BUNCH of ficlets on her LJ yesterday, so if you're in the mood, go read 'em! :D
Love y'all - Mira/Doc/Kat *meow*
