My dad and me on New Years Eve.
SMALL RED THINGY THAT IS NOT FIREWORK: *is in the sky, hanging still*
US: What's that?
SMALL RED THINGY THAT IS NOT FIREWORK: *still there*
ME: Oh, I know. It's rift in time and space.
DAD: ...Lotte, you DO know that tv series aren't real, right?
ME: Before you know it it will split open and Daleks will come through.
DAD AND ME: *at the same time* .... EXTERRRRMINATE! EXTERRRRMINATE!
I watched the first two episodes of Lost with my parents on Wednesday, and suddenly Frederic Lane showed up on the island.
And I was like "LOL YELLOW-EYED DEMON WUT, U B DOIN UR EVIL THAR?"
and my parents were like... "Let's ignore her some more."
I spent like 400 euros on Thursday on crazy designer stuff. Seriously.
Ohhh, L. I don't know how I feel about you right now.
I had a great day with her, but I'm at that crazy place inbetween crush and friend right now. I do want to keep liking her, but I don't want to stop liking her, and I also want to keep her as a friend because she's like one of the best persons evar.
