(no subject)
I'm feeling pretty random today.
I wrote some more of my Avatar fic, I bought some items on Gaia and I made another layout for my Gaia profile.
So now I'll amuse all of you with the Paper Clip-Weapon Story referenced in the previous post.
Ms. Link: Mine and nervoustic's 8th grade Language Arts teacher. Is notorious for being an awful teacher and a bitch to her students, given the fact that she used to teach 6th grade, then switched to the 8th grade, so many students had her for a second time.
Jacob Sayraf: Class clown and actor-in-training, so to speak. Famous to all Clagueites for his role in the school production of Peter Pan as Captain Hook. Man, that was fucking hilarious. xD
That day, Ms. Link was handing out paperclips to all of us, for some reason or another. Jacob, being the weirdo he is, decided to unravel his to a long, thin stick of metal. Ms. Link caught him.
"Jacob! Don't do that!" she scolded, her voice full of worry [well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit :P].
"But Ms. Link, I wasn't doing anything wrong," replies Jacob in a pseudo-innocent voice [he mocked her like that daily, and she never noticed].
"You know what you did!" [she said that all the time. This was one of very few times she actually explained how a student has done "wrong"] Ms. Link said. She took a breath, and we all knew some sort of speech was coming [well...not really. But I like to write this like a book, okay? It's what I do. xD].
"When you use that paperclip to hold papers together, it is a tool. But as soon as you unfold it like that, it becomes a weapon. You see that poster up there?" She gestured at a small poster tacked on the wall near the door. It depicted a gun with a big, red "X" over it.
"That sign says 'no weapons'. You are not allowed to bring weapons to school," At this point, the entire class was laughing silently, or at least any audible chuckles were quickly masked as coughs or sneezes. Ms. Link turned around and grabbed a red pen from her desk, then pivoted back to face the class. She held it up for all to see.
"You see this pen? When I use this pen to grade your papers, it is a tool. But as soon as I do this,"--she started zooming it around in front of her like a rocket, making "vverjooom" and "vrummm" sounds, also akin to a rocket--"it becomes a weapon." [Yeah. As if a bunch of EIGHTH GRADERS would pretend their pens were rockets.]
A new episode of Fullmetal Alchemist is on today. Expect much squeeing later tonight.
As you can see, I re-did my layout and am quite happy with it. The petals were cut from a picture of all the Sailor Princesses, from one of Naoko Takeuchi's artbooks. :)
