Snowbound! Part The End!

Hey, guys and dolls! Here's the last bit of 'How to Fail During a Blizzard'. And lemme tell you, it's really, really weird reading a winter book when I've just changed into shorts and turned up my fan. I seriously hate Arizona. I needed a good distraction from the awful weather so, I finished up my snark. Now I got to get some sleep even though it'

Do the Brewer/Thomases usually drop a donk with the door unlocked?--No way do they leave the door unlocked with that many people in the house. This reminds me of school days where some of the locks would be broken on the doors and you'd have to really just have the door pushed shut or you'd absolutely get walked in on

Omg. Stacey does look drunk! She must have got smashed with her date so she'd have no shame when he awkwardly groped her. Claudia does look okay though she's got that awful side ponytail going for her. But out of everyone's outfit, hers is the only one I'd wear in public. And thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Sorry, I got sidetracked again. So, Kristy takes a shower (good thing she locked the door!) and decides to curl her hair. She also thinks she'll electrocute herself using a hair curler on wet hair. When I had long hair, I always straightened it while it was wet. Because it works better.okay, so this part of the book drove me crazy last time i read it (like last week)...this is a direct quote

Ooh! I forgot about that stupid continuity error with the blow dryer! Jesus! What's with the editors at Scholastic?! Are they actual chimps? Are they paid in bananas? How could writing this bad make so many millions of dollars?! WHY did we read this junk?!

[heymalice]

LMAO at the scholastic editors as chimps being paid in bananas!

why did we read these? my theory is that the C in BSC actually stands for Crack&we were all hopelessly addicted to the damned books.

What always annoyed me in Kristy's story was that she set her alarm after the power had gone out, so I've had to tell myself ever since I was 9 years old that it must be battery operated. But I just don't buy it as those old alarm clocks took like 6 massive C Batteries to run. Oh well. I'm sure it was battery operated.

And all those kids crowding around one bathroom in a "real live millionaire's real live mansion"?? Surely they must have like at least three other bathrooms in that house??

Locked doors seems to be a pretty big issue, weirdly enough; when I was growing up, our parents would knock on the door and open it, giving you about two seconds to cover yourself if you were changing, and now that my sister’s grown up and has a lock on her door, Mom forbids her from ever actually locking it, even though she’ll still barge in and just stare at you if you’re anything but fully dressed. I don’t know how many times we ended up living in some crappy house in desperate need of repair and someone just walked in on me in the bathroom . . . if any room in the house requires you to lock the door, it’s that one! It was only when I read this book that the idea of a locked door being a fire hazard ‘occurred’ to me, and even then, many of the BSC books make an extra-special mention of it any time they creep over to the bathroom door to close it, as if they're not allowed to even do that (Sam does in the Shadow Lake SS; Kristy does in another book, which is good because Karen tries opening the door, and in another book Karen knocks
