I'm so impressed with myself for being at the head of the class in Algebra.

Never mind that it's an extremely remidial class. Whatever.

Also, I only got an eighty on my lab quiz in Bio last night. Blah. *flogs self* Must do better. Must do better. Stupid! Stupid! (Must not turn into Hermione.)

I had a crazy dream last night- the CCE people and I were trying to manage a giant Eckerd's. Except there were vicious lemmings and wolves all over the place, so we were standing on top of the shelves, wondering what to do. Then Peter comes in and starts yelling that we have to assume support, that the lemmings aren't going to eat us, and someone needs to restock the shelves in aisle six. At which point Andrew just looks at him, shakes his head, and says, "You know what? Screw this. See you later, Pete." And then we all left to watch a ballet.

There was more- concerning frozen Mayans and their human sacrifices, and how they were running buffalo off cliffs- but it's all fragmented.

The Bush Twins Are Neither Clever Nor Funny.

Watched about two ridiculous minutes of the Republican Convention when I got home. Laughed. Made cracks in an incredibly shitty accent about Laura Bush's botox job. Gave it up as a bad job and went to bed.

Absolutely hysterical. Gacked from dance.net skating boards

Welcome to the World's Shortest Skating Book Library!
Sure, we've all seen Zero Tolerance, My Sergei, Boitano's Edge, and autobiographies of girls who haven't lived enough to have autobiographies... But there is a long-neglected genre of skating literature, newly discovered by skating net.fans around the globe. Here you'll find books by all your favorite skating authors! (The Books they didn't want you to know about!) I've also added a section for the net.posters and chatters, so if you've written a book, or know someone who did (I will not post anything insulting, though!), you can submit that now too! Enjoy, laugh a bit, and feel free to add more, or discuss the ones here! =) Books added on 20 December or after are in the box below. That color-coding was tiresome!
