Jul 08, 2008 22:54

So in celebration of my graduation from college (\o/ commencement on Sunday!), I decided to do another recap since the one I did over my spring break was great fun - and amazingly, also about Amy.Uh, so this recap took a little bit longer for me to finish than I thought it would. >_> Sorry ( Read more... )

recapper: dramaturgy, instant celebrity status, sweet valley twins, bruce patman, amy sutton, sophia rizzo, saint elizabeth of sweet valley, miss lila fowler, unicorns

Amy begins to feel... strange. Powerful.

Am I the only one who interpreted that in a very different way than it was intended?

the Unitards (hm. Does that insult scan?)

I like it. Nice double meaning. XD

She also tells Liz she's the one who STARTED THE FIRE THAT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE THE WORLD'S BEEN TURNING.

STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW THX.

:-P

Man, this book is all foreshadowy and stuff for SVH. I, too, wonder how that happened, mostly because I only read the SVT and below as a kid. Pod person!Amy still blows my mind.

Heh. There wasn't even a bitchy fallout which is super lame. Amy just moved away and decided she'd rather be cool and popular and whatever instead of being a blonde version of Enid. I don't blame her, I'd change my personality to stop being friends with Liz too.

This recap was full of win! I was thinking the exact same thing about the whole Koala Bear thing. Foolish Ghostwriters. I'm almost positive we used a sing a song when I was in primary school about Koala's not being bears. Any Aussies out there that can back that up or did I just dream that?

No i think i can vaguely remember that. Damn now its gonna bug me trying to remember what it was.

sarahlouise1985 July 9 2008, 05:59:37 UTC

HAH! Google for the win!

I'm a koala not a bear
And I don't think it's fair
The way that people always add a word that isn't there
I'm a marsupial and proud of it
And there can be no doubt of it
I'm closer to a kangaroo than I am to a bear

So please dont call me a koala bear
Coz I'm not a bear at all
Please don't call me a koala bear
It's driving me up the wall
If your name was Tom
And everyone called you Dick
Perhaps you'd understand why I'm sick, sick, sick
I'm simply a koala
And I want the name to stick
So please don't call me a koala bear

I live here in Australia
In a eucalyptus tree
I'm as cuddly, cute and charming
as an animal can be
I don't understand fair dinkum
How anyone could think them
Grizzly bears and polar bears
Are anything like me

Damn.

That's a pretty awesome song.

All I remember about this book is that as a child it made me SO SCARED of electrical/faulty wiring fires.

Yet another paranoid childhood fit brought on by the World of Sweet Valley.

Heh. My big one was Patty's Last Dance, with the scoliosis -- whenever it was the day where the school nurse checked us out for spine curvature, I used to hold my breath. I thought it was the worst thing ever.

Hmmm... since when didn't twelve year old girls keep stuffed toys on their bed for "cuteness" factor, if nothing else?

sarahlouise1985 July 9 2008, 06:00:47 UTC

I have a stuffed dog that I sleep with and I'm 22. It's not embarrassing at all. His name is Rufus and he gets introduced to all new people in my room. I wasn't embarrassed about him when I was 12 either. Yet another fail at Sweet Valley.

Confession: a week or two ago I retrieved all my old Beanie Babies and dolls from my mantle, where they've been sitting for YEARS, and dusted them off and cleaned them ... and sometimes I talk to them! I mean, not in a creepy way (God I hope), but just like, "I bet you feel better without all that dust" and "I'll let you sit on my bookcases and on top of my dresser mirror, does that sound nice?"

I am also 22, and not exactly ashamed.

This. Hell, I have fond memories of my Japanese supervisor coming round to my house to help me with something (part of her job was to help me with living-related problems while I was in Japan) and me trying to teach her how to pronounce "Lellow Bear", the name of my favourite teddy bear at the time. I would have been 22-23.

Then there was my trip back there last week when one of the hotel maids accidentally took away one of my teddy bears (yes, one of several) that was under my sheet. I just called housekeeping and asked if they'd seen a brown teddy bear, with no embarrassment at all.

And wait a minute - it says Mary - a Unicorn - brought Amy one of her favourite teddy bears! Why isn't anyone teasing Mary?
