Pfft, who needs boybanders. We have seekrit tunnels!

Don't ask me for more information, it's a secret. I didn't get the paper.

* [info]spasticat tagged me for the dork meme (me! dork! imagine!), and then flitted off to Challenge like a flitty thing, but no bother, I will out my dork self in her absense, and then she'll be sorry.

List 5 reasons why you are a dork. And make them good reasons. Justify them. Explain them. Be loud and proud about how big of a dork you are! Then pick the 5 biggest dorks you know and have them do the meme.

First I would like to say that I had to go to wikitionary to get the general consensus on the word dork. Cultural differences and everything, I wanted to be sure. (I suppose that could be reason #6).

1. Once I was a waitress. I was 18. My first day, I spilled soup on a customer. It was also my last day.

2. I have to have a matching knife and fork. Otherwise, I'll be all lopsided! That can't be good for the digestion. Also socks, I can't wear odd socks, even if nobody's going to see them. There must be balance in my life.

3. I sing, like, 85% of the time. Whether or not there is music to sing along to. I can't help it. I like singing. Today it was mostly En Vogue.

4. There's this graffiti down the lane where you have to go to get to the library in town. It says "DON'T VOTE NEW LABOUR. ITS A CON". Or, it did. Now it says, "DON'T VOTE NEW LABOUR. IT'S A CON" because I had a pen on me.

5. I photoshopped the heads of NSYNC and BSB and Britney and Xtina into The Sound Of Music caps. Badly, and with glee. Really, what more do you need?

Now I have to tig people? I don't associate with dorks! The very idea! Er, so, [info]bossymarmalade, [info]lelise, [info]imogenics, [info]charlidos, [info]trumpeterofdoom. Go!

* I am not buying the new HP. At least not until it comes out in paperback. I can't be doing with hardback books, they are too heavy to be lugging around and they take up too much space on my shelf. Where there is no space left anyway. I'm not way into the HP stuff anyway, so I am fully prepared to be spoiled.

I am reading the His Dark Materials trilogy at the moment, though (hence library visits) - thanks to whoever gave me the nudge to read it. (*checks*) [info]buddleia, it was. Thank you! It is just fantastic in all interpretations of the word, wonderful writing, storytelling, characters, concepts, everything. I finished The Subtle Knife today and I was all "!!!" and I had to go straight to get the next one in my dinner hour. So OMGDUNSPOIL!!!1!

* Okay, am now off to obsessively refresh my friendslist until pictorial evidence of all NSYNC members being in the same place at the same time turns up.

You and I would get along juuuuuuust fine. Especially if we sang songs from The Sound of Music, in our best NSYNC and BSB and Britney and Xtina impersonations!

I am all intrigued about these secret tunnels now. What could be in them? My money's on dragons. And gold. And possibly golden dragons. How could you not buy the paper?!

And bwahaha! Dude! You corrected the grammar on a piece of graffiti! That just about makes you my hero for the day - misplaced/missing apostrophes are the work of the devil and must be stamped out by always carrying a pen. *salutes you*

Today I took the kids to the park. The Girl was sitting underneath the slide pretending to be a troll for the benefit of the munchkin, and she suddenly said, "You don't spell 'gay' with an 'e', it's an 'a'."

So I looked, and "TAG ARE GEY" was scrawled on the underneath of the slide. "And," she said, with contempt, "You can't say 'Tag are gay'. That makes no sense."
Should I tell her that expecting good grammar standards in all public writings will only lead to frustration and disappointment?

It didn't even occur to me to buy the paper. I try not to read the local paper, because it makes me go "grrrr. stupid! STUPID!". Except, when it's lying around the house I like to look at what ridiculous things people have called their babies this week.

Mmm, I applaud the girl on her contempt for poor grammar but perhaps she was too hasty. Perhaps what she uncovered was not an illiterate attempt to pronounce the gayness of Tag, but a collection of baffling acronyms that even the internet would be proud of.

What could "TAG" stand for? What "GEY"? Perhaps we'll never know. Though if whoever wrote that could explain to me what "IATWTC" means I would be grateful to them - I see it everywhere and it's driving me mad!

Ha ha! Our local paper is so crap that they are forced to post it through people's letter boxes every Wednesday for free just so people read the thing. It's only worth it for the "Tell Laura" agony aunt column though.

I once met a kid called "Adonis" - please tell me that people don't give their kids weirder names than that! :0
