i assume you're still boycotting all pilgrim holidays?
okay, we are going to start this entry with a little quiz question:
how is allison similar to chandler bing?
a. they have commitment issues
b. they make bad jokes all the time
c. they have a third nipple
d. they dislike thanksgiving
the correct answer is "d." (although i do make bad jokes sometimes, such as "shaylagh's ego is so big it ate clarisse!").
on monday, my mom was very close to boycotting thanksgiving altogether because she was in a bad mood and didn't want to cook anything. but then she decided that everyone else except for me would be unhappy about that, so she unfortunately sucked it up and made thanksgiving dinner. but i'll still have my lovely dinner of salad, rolls, and a grilled cheese sandwich (which my mom says she'll cook for me as our little chandler bing in-joke, as chandler is always eating non-thanksgiving food on thanksgiving). and maybe some pumpkin pie. (although i've discovered that over the past few years, my like for pumpkin pie has been diminishing. it's a sad thing, because that's the only real bit of thanksgiving food that i like.)
anyway, i think thanksgiving is a pointless holiday. i mean, how does eating turkey, potatoes, etc. show that you're thankful for things in your life? and since america is so concerned that it's an overweight country, why not boycott thanksgiving, since the point of it is to stuff yourself with food? this is why my dream husband is not going to mind having an un-traditional thanksgiving. we will eat grilled cheese sandwiches every year and give thanks for the fact that we are not part of the masses. (or we could just move to a place where thanksgiving isn't celebrated. like england!)
...in other news, "aerith's theme" is threatening to drive me into insanity. it is a song that is nineteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds long. this was pretty cool at first, but now i'm just about ready to kill it. it is pretty much the same thing repeating over and over again for almost TWENTY DAMN MINUTES. so what usually happens is that i listen to the first five or so minutes and then switch to another song.
on sunday during christmas show rehearsal, kasey made the comment that anything can be related to an episode of friends. i've discovered that this is extremely true. like on tuesday when there started to be random beeping noises occurring while i was listening to "aerith's theme," and i started in-my-head screaming at the laptop, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" this then reminded me of an episode of friends in which phoebe's smoke detector starts randomly beeping, and she tries to dismantle it. after she takes out the batteries, it still is beeping, so she screams at it, "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" phoebe is very entertaining.
last night in my boredom i started playing a game in which i choose five characters at random from various fandoms and imagined what what would happen if they were locked in a room together.
sephiroth, lord voldemort, larxene, neville longbottom, and maleficent: after discovering that they're all villains, sephiroth, voldemort, larxene, and maleficent will all team up to defeat neville at voldemort's request. although neville is extremely heroic, he will be no match for the villain conglomerate, he will first be stunned by larxene's lightning and then stabbed by sephiroth's masamune and burnt to a crisp by maleficent's dragon fire. then, voldemort will use "avada kedavra" on him, just to be sure he's dead.
c-3po, benjamin linus, anakin skywalker, general grievous, and harry potter: general grievous will immediately begin attaking anakin because of the latter's jedi-ness, and harry will join anakin's side because it seems pretty clear that general grievous is evil. ben will watch from the sidelines, trying to figure out how to manipulate everybody present, while c-3po flails around in a panic.
count dooku, mr. eko, luke skywalker, john locke, and donald duck: luke will start fighting dooku because dooku is an evil sith lord. donald will try to aid luke, but will be immediately killed by dooku's force-lightning. mr. eko and locke, meanwhile, will be discussing whether things are coincidence or fate.
sayid jarrah, spongebob squarepants, yuffie, r2-d2, and juliet burke: sayid and juliet will be planning a way to escape from the room, even though they don't really trust each other. spongebob will be utterly fascinated by r2-d2, and both of them are even more fascinated by yuffie's shiny ninja-ness, so they will be able to entertain each other for a long time.
yes, i do have little life. get over it. hey, i have an idea. if none of us are allowed to comment on shaylagh's spelling-challenged-ness, then none of you are able to comment on the fact that i have no life. ha!
