the air is filled with the uncanny sense of exclamation points!
ZOMG THERE IS A LOST SEASON FIVE TRAILER UP. I must go down to my mum's computer to watch it, as my internet connection doesn't like to play videos. But judging from the comments over at lost_tv, it's freakin' epic.
Speaking of freakin' epic, we watched parts of The Patriot in US History today. That is an extremely gory movie, what with heads being blown off and cannonballs taking off people's legs and Mel Gibson repeatedly hacking up a British soldier's body so that you can see bits of blood flying through the air. And then there's the Big Epic Battle in which Mel Gibson ends up totally owning Jason Isaacs. As you can see, my class really got into the violence and making fun of the British soldiers who obviously attended the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.
So good news: my dance classes on next Thursday got cancelled so if there are any plans to go trick-or-treating I can go, as long as I don't have that much homework and I can convince my mum that 16 is not too old to trick-or-treat. Otherwise I might just have to stay at home and either a) work on homework all night or b) dress up and hand out candy. There's still the Halloween party to look forward to, though, even though I won't be showing up until 9:00 ish. But the fun will only be just beginning then, yeah? (And if I do end up going trick-or-treating, I guess I have less than a week to come up with a costume. Into the Closet of Dance Recital Costumes I go!)
[ETA: Gah! I forgot to include the First Line of Songs meme that I wanted to share. It's similar to the movie quote meme that Shaylagh did a while back.]
I have listed the first couple of lines from 20 songs that I have on my iTunes. Your job is to guess which song the lyrics are from. Keep in mind that these are the FIRST lines of the song. Some will be easier than others. Bonus points if you can include the next line or two of the song in your response. No cheating (googling song lyrics, etc.) allowed. Good luck!
