A Midsummer Night's Dream was wonderful Posted 12/17/2008 8:20:50 PM A Midsummer Night's Dream was wonderful. "You painted maypole!" "Deflowered-" "DEVOURED!" And the wall. (0) Comments

really quick update Posted 12/15/2008 4:05:40 PM Weak are my friends! We set out to do a Shakespeare movie night. We got Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. We had problems getting use of a tv, and only ended up watching the first two movies. It was only about 3 when half the party called it quits. I say they are all WEAK! (All two of them ^_^;)I want to try and do a long Victorian movie night. I think that's the right period. Stuff like Wuthering heights. I like my older english! :DAlso, as most of you know, my father was in the hospital. I was supposed to call home this morning, but I didn't get up in time, and I didn't want to wake up mom. I'm going to try calling tomorrow when I get up. I hope everything is okay with the old man.I was upset at first, but I managed to settle myself down fairly quickly. It almost disturbs me, but I'd rather be a little flighty than too angsty. I think. o.0I go to sleeeep now.Oh yeah! Jess is AWESOME. She sent me FOOD. I ate far too much of it today though. *pats growing tummy* Cursed Fat! (0) Comments
