Opening Song: "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" - Frankie Valli
This week has been awesome (as usual)! In Band, I've got clarinet solos in 2 of our songs already... oh yeah, nothing like earning a solo to make your day brighter! And I was barraged with Thank You's after my AVID session; my students are really learning the material (from me as opposed to their actual teacher) and I couldn't be happier with them. I just wish we all could attend that Trust Seminar at Arlington Echo this year.
That reminds me. In Psychology, we took the Kersey Personality Test and, like my teacher, I turned out to be an ISTJ (a.k.a. "The Inspector"). Inspectors are the kind of people that go into stores knowing exactly what they want; they get in, get out, without all that dilly-dallying. I laughed my head off when I realized how accurate that was; I always tear off a scrap of paper and write down ideas of what I need before I go into any store... I even did it yesterday.
And when I was cleaning my room, I found a man's business card: he was this creepy 60 year-old guy in a leather fur-trimmed pimp coat who flirted with my mother while we were all standing in line at Sears Electronics. *cringe* WHY THE HELL WOULD I KEEP HIS CARD? *turns the card over* Oh. Here's exactly what it said on the back: "Shampoo, Apricot Scrub, Xtreme Deodorant (stick), Altoids." I'm definitely an ISTJ, y'all!
Last night was a lot of fun: Carolyn, Chelsey, Amber, and I hit the mall and saw a flick. On my way to meet them, this girl (who I never met in my life) came up to me asking if I could spare some change. I love helping people (even if in a small way) so I gave her a buck and she gave me a hug. Awwww... Don't worry: she smelled good. That could've been very awkward. But anyway, I've seen Closer, so I love hugging strangers. HOT! I was so happy to hook up with Carolyn and Chelsey upstairs since I wasn't sure if Rice Lady would make it (she left school early b/c her beloved parakeet fell ill... and it was fatal). Besides, she just had to get out of that House of the Dead.
The three of us ran into Autumn and Hope at our rendezvous point, Waldenbooks. While Chelsey was actually looking at books *shake of head* Rice Lady and I draped ourselves over the railing and watched the JCPennys Fashion Show. It was frickin' hilarious! I felt sorry for those girls, walking around in those outrageous clothes in the middle of the mall... at least they had a DJ crankin' out the jams (like Usher and Ciara and such) Rock On.
After Chelsey finally got her bargain book, we went to see Son of the Mask starring Jamie Kennedy and Alan Cumming. And it was a very good movie to see with the kiddies--great actors, cool music, good dancing, and KICK-ASS animation/effects. Personally, I like Alan Cumming 'cause he's just hilarious onscreen and off (you might remember him from X2, Josie & The Pussycats, or even, Spice World). Overall, I would give this movie "3 Stars!"
After the movie, we stayed for the credits and danced in our seats... hey, I'm not crazy, but they had some kickin' credit music, man! I showed Rice Lady a couple of moves, including "The Batman," which was an actual move (my mom did it in the 70s). After we left, we went to the Hallmark store (Woo! Go Hallmark!) since their stuffed animals were goin' for $3.00. I thought of Shannon when I saw this really cute stuffed frog... the only green thing in the entire store, since it was Val Day on Monday. I didn't buy anything 'cause I had already went buckwild in Best Buy earlier, buying at least 7 movies (including TAXI).
Quote of the Day: "Okay, Kyle. Go ahead. Throw your nunchucks away. If you can. But you know damn well that your Jewish blood won't let you. You can't get rid of something you paid 15 bucks for. Go ahead and try... Mel Gibson was right, Kyle. Right now, the Jew inside of you is screaming, 'NO! THOSE COST MONEY! GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!' You know this to be true. *watches Kyle struggling* Prove Mel Gibson Wrong, Kyle. DO IT." - Eric Cartman, South Park
Sadly, since Carolyn's busy today, I'm busy tomorrow, and Chelsey can't do anything this Monday, we should treasure that night. Savor the flavor, girls, 'cause this will never happen again. Awww, I hope that isn't true. Alright, enough about my nightlife, it's time for a new episode of Dream Within A Dream.
Tale #4: "Telekinesis"
Original Air Date: 11/21/1999
Janelle and her mother live in a large, undecorated mansion. The mansion walls, like Janelle's actual bedroom, are painted a red-orange. There's a huge, spiraling staircase leading to up one door--the door to Janelle's room.
Her room looks identical to how it looked back then, except it doesn't contain a TV, a Playstation, or Janice's bed. It does, however, have computer desk identical to mine. I enter her room and I see Janelle, KT, and Tommy. We work on a social studies project for hours until I just leave abruptly.
I come back the next day, but this time my mom comes too so she can talk to her friend, Mrs. Littlejohn (Janelle's mama). I ask her mom if the others are already here and she says, "Yeah, they're up there." I open the bedroom door and experience an amazing case of Deja Vu: the three of them haven't moved a muscle since I left, only this time, their eyes are completely glazed over, fixated on the computer desk. On that desk, there are four action figures.
I walk in and sit next to Tommy. He says, "Let's try and make these objects move." Okay. I use the wisdom of Lao Ma ("Stop willing. Stop desiring. Stop hating.") to accomplish perfect stillness. I cause smallest, yellow action figure to explode. Tommy makes the 2nd smallest, purple action figure tip over, still laying on the desk. KT makes the 3rd smallest, yellow action figure tip backwards on the desk.
Finally, Janelle uses her mental powers to cause the largest, blue action figure to fly right off the desk.
