SS#15 baby-sitter's european vacation part 3!

[heymalice]

hey guys, how is everyone? sorry i've been slacking so hard lately! i'm still sick and in other fun news, i sprained a toe last week. a fucking toe. *rolls eyes forever* what makes it even more lame is i did it tripping over a BAG. it'd be comedic as fuck if it didn't hurt like a bitch. actually, it's still pretty funny.

i'm still sick and in other fun news, i sprained a toe last week. a fucking toe. *rolls eyes forever*--I hope you get to feeling better soon

most embarrassing moment -- kristy howling like a dog in public, just because michel was playing this harmonica he'd brought.'--Clearly raised in a barn. I guess I tend to be like Mary Anne when it concerns embarrassment issues. I can understand being playful and joking around quietly but I'd be too shy/it'd be too embarrassing to act this way out in public

[heymalice]

I hope you get to feeling better soon!--thanks

Cause it's so much better to howl like a dog…--lol! i know, right?!

I think so.--i'm fairly certain it is, i just can't remember which book.

Indeed! I see two broken legs in Jessi's future if she had accepted.--YUP!!

*insert Buffy drinking gif here*--LOL!

lol, I can relate! It was especially bad on youtube before they got rid of the 500 character word limit.--500 characters is madness. i can't remember how much it is on twitter since i never use it, but wasn't it something like 40 characters or some shit? that's as bad as the text message character limit!

Enjoyed the snark! :)--yay! i'm so glad!

i'm still sick and in other fun news, i sprained a toe last week. a fucking toe. *rolls eyes forever* what makes it even more lame is i did it tripping over a BAG. it'd be comedic as fuck if it didn't hurt like a bitch. actually, it's still pretty funny. =I once scared the shit out of my dad. I crashed my bike into the wall and bit my lip; which bled. By the time he got to me, the blood mixed with my tears and as I wiped both, the blood ended up all over my arms and face, so he thought I was seriously hurt. Poor guy. It was like almost twenty odd years ago and this still gets brought up all the time. Don't worry, I'm just as klutzy and yes... it's funny as hell once the pain stops

what the fuck was wrong with me? more importantly, what the fuck is wrong with ann?!? we're supposed to look up to these girls

[heymalice]

the more I read/snark these fucking books, the more I just want to set fire to them all! these girls are completely hateful fucking people!--they really are

[bleeding_thorn2]

that's really sad.-It was, the poor kid was sitting there in shock and then said it was because the English have to go wait at train stations underground all night until the air raids stop and sometimes when they go home, the home's gone. It's really sad!

YAY!!! i'm glad i made you both laugh! :D-You really did!

- “And if we don’t make it to Harrods, she’ll have no clothing to wear!” -

I had to Google the store, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen one, and one of the first things that pops up is that the store has a dress code. This makes me want to say two things: One, isn’t flying around Europe expensive enough without buying anything in a store so ‘special’ (snobby) that you can’t walk in wearing your own clothes (and another Google search tells me sweatshirts are about $50 and lamps are about $400 there, so my impression seems right), and Two, if Stacey’s situation is so desperate that she NEEDS to buy ANY new clothes, why not go to a store with reasonable prices (especially since she’ll probably get her suitcase back

I’m glad Mrs. McGill decided to take Stacey to a war museum - I hope she noticed her spoiled daughter’s entitled attitude and sulky expression because she wasn’t going to spend the entirety of her vacation/field trip shopping for expensive new clothes and decided to fix her. I’ve only been to one war museum, and it was absolutely fascinating. Sobering, too. Stuff like that makes all of our modern problems seem so absolutely insignificant.

- We looked into the rooms . . . papers were piled on the desks and maps still hung on the walls, covered with little flag markers, as if the war leaders had just stepped out for tea and were about to return. -

I got chills just reading that. I can’t imagine how it would feel in person.

- . . . and I thought about those ashes again . . . I wanted to give them to Mr. Anderson myself.Well, personally I’d want the little brat to give me back my whole suitcase with the ashes safely inside it, mostly for the illusion that she hadn’t been going through my underwear or staring at said ashes. Not to

- He tried to slip out of my grasp. I held tight.
I could see Janine and Claudia now, racing toward me.
“Help me!” I shouted.
“Stop!” Mathew yelled. -

This bothers me, because one sitter should be more than enough to deal with one little brat. And instead of calling for reinforcements, Mary Anne should squeeze the kid a little harder, remind him that he’s just a kid, and that he has to listen to those in charge (he didn’t listen to his own counsellor, so he can’t whine now that Mary Anne’s not his), and maybe threaten to tell his mother he’s too disobedient to be away from her. Or at least tell him that lightning is deadly. Anything other than essentially proving that she can’t handle a six-year-old.

- ‘Besides, Mr. Brailsford has assured me the spot would be open if I ever wanted to return. I planned to take him up on it someday.’ Of course he did. Funny how even though she said ‘no’, she still has an automatic ‘in’ if she ever changes her mind. That only ever happens to BSC members. -

No, no, NO, NO - just no. I don’t know how
