Doctor Horrible: He has a PhD in horribleness.

Look at these people,
Amazing how sheeple
Show up for the slaughter,

No one condemning,
You lined up like lemmings
You lead to the water,

Why can’t they see what I see, why can’t they hear the lies?
Maybe the fee’s too pricey for them to realize,
Your disguise is slipping, I think you’re slipping,

Now that your savior’s
As still as the grave you’re
Beginning to fear me,

Like cavemen fear thunder,
I still have to wonder,
Can you really hear me?

I bring you pain, the kind you can’t suffer quietly,
Fire up your brain, remind you inside you’re rioting,
Society is slipping, everything's slipping away, so,

Go ahead, run away,
Say it was horrible,
Spread the word, tell a friend,
Tell them the tale,

Get a pic, do a blog,
Heroes are over with,
Look at him, not a word,
Hammer, meet nail,

Then I win, then I get,
Everything I ever,
All the cash, all the fame,
And social change,

Anarchy, that I run,
It’s Dr. Horrible’s turn,
You people all have to learn,
This world is going to burn, burn, (yeah it’s two R’s, h-o-r-r yeah right), burn!

No sign of Penny, good,
I would give anything
Not to have her see,

It’s gonna be bloody,
Head up, Billy buddy,
There’s no time for mercy,

Here goes no mercy–

That’s not a good sound

Part Four: A Cup of Up

Sunnyside Up, that is.

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING MAY BE INACCURATE, BECAUSE I HAVE A TERRIBLE MEMORY!

Wednesday the 5th of November (actual date)

We woke up at early and travailed to Sunnyside Up, where we washed our hands thoroughly. Then Qacei made me a chai, and I watched and learned how to do it. I also learned how to pull shots, grind coffee, make coffee, make americanos and mochas and syrup flavored ones, refill water pitchers, clear and scrub tables, bring in the bus bins, fill an airpot, make a bagel, run the cash register (didn't get to ring anyone up, just learned how), and restock mugs. I took my wages in food. I had me a garlic or possibly onion bagel with herb spread, a chai, and a strawberry banana smoothie. It was yum. I also got to deliver some foods and call out drinks that I made and bring the orders back to the kitchen. I was pretty much involved in all the goings on, except the dish washing, and that was pretty much by choice. I did, however, scrape residue, toothpicks, and napkins off people's plates and cups and et cetera so I could leave them for other people to wash more easily. Then my shift (sort of) unfortunately ended, and we left. Qacei and I travailed to Goodwill, Payless Shoes, Borders, and Michael's before returning to the household. I am making a scarf. A crocheted (kro-CHET-ed) scarf. Then there was some eating, and some Buffy watching, and some compuhtering, and I took a shower.

And then it was now. And now it's gone.

Or something along those vague and familiar lines.

Part Three: The King of Cling

And Other Random Tales.

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING MAY BE CHRONOLOGICALLY INACCURATE DUE TO MY TERRIBLE MEMORY!

Monday the 3rd of November

Buffy commences.

There was watching. And playing (the video game). And Talking about.

We kicked ass at that game. Sort of. I looked up cheats with and without Qacei's permission. She didn't like it. But then she told me to.

It was confuzzling.

I don't know what happened after that. Buffy makes my brain explode.

Tuesday the 4th of November

ELECTION DAY! What can I say about election day? It was a simple gala affair. We watched the television, we watched the online updates, we baked Barack Obrownies, we celebrated each victory, including the final one. We watched Obama's speech, we watched McCain's, we set off fireworks and yelled really loud, we ate the Barack Obrownies, which were more delicious flavored by victory. We invented a supervillain, the King of Cling (he shoots cling wrap at people as he yells 'Cling on' (Get it?)) and his sidekicks, McMaverick and Moose. We invented a vampire who loves swiss cheese but can't go near it because it's hol(e)y. We called people. We danced. We sang. We did a multitude of other things.

We slept.

To be concluded.

Part Two: A Story of Story

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION MAY BE CHRONOLOGICALLY INACCURATE, BECAUSE I HAVE A TERRIBLE MEMORY!

Sunday the 2nd of November

The parental units leave after a delicious breakfast of deliciousness at Sunnyside Up (Brunch? Whatever.) taking MJ dearest with them. Well, perhaps MJ had left our group, but Story remained, and we took it into our heads (malfunctioning as they were) to walk to the grocery or some such ridiculous thing in the pouring rain. So we started walking, and then we decided we didn't really want to go to the grocery, but Donna picked us up and dropped Qacei home before bringing Story and I to the place where Story keeps her horse. We got the horse out and Story rode him, and then I got to ride him too. (WHEEEEEE!) I did not gallop, but I did manage a brief canter. And I rode bareback at one point, which was awesome, though slippery. Very smooth horse. Then we took him out back to eat apples from the apple trees they have there. He (the horse) ate the ones off the ground and Story and I picked nice deliciousness off the trees. they were very juicy. Then we climbed a hay island and drank soda and ate apples. Then we carried some more apples out, saw a youngling horse, and carried the apples home/to Qacei's (same thing). Then we hung out and it was fun. Story and I had cheesy nachos with mango salsa. Then...some more stuff happened, but I don't know/remember what. Story goes home.

To be continued. Again.

Qacei's

is where I am. I am learning important things and eating food and it's fun. I'm going to assume (perhaps incorrectly) that you want to learn more than that about my stay, so I'm going to tell you. I think I will make it a trilogy in four parts. This is part one, and it constitutes my Non-con post, even though Non-con ended several days ago.

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING MAY BE CHRONOLOGICALLY INACCURATE DUE TO MY TERRIBLE MEMORY!

Part One: The Non of Con

Friday the 31st of October

After an excruciatingly (remember that, excruciatingly. It was excruciating.) early morning, we drove in the car for five hours. That was also excruciating, but not as bad. Then, finally, we checked into our hotel and drove to Sunnyside Up - we'll come back (not literally) to the hotel in a minute, but for now... - where we encountered others of our kind. We hugged people and dashed to the bathroom together. We hurriedly changed into our costumes, MJ, Qacei, and I. I was Harmony the preppy vampire (some of you are familiar with her. Some of you are not. I'll let you decide who's cooler.), MJ was Spike the totally completely awesome (male) vampire, and Qacei was Drusilla the psychic vampire, and/or her non-canon sister, Allisurd. Once we were ready - me with my leggings, Qacei with her dress, and MJ with her gelled back hair - we went out into the scary universe of trick-or-treating with Hayden and Diana. The other 'rents stayed behind, though they were costumed. We went from shop to shop, begging for sweets, which we recieved posthaste, though we did have some difficulty getting out without knocking over small children. Then, loot in hands, we returned to Sunnyside Up, home of deliciousness. We retreated from there to another home, the home of my QaceiQacei and family. There was fun. And a party. And we did stuff. And then we, and others, went out trick-or-treating in Qacei's AREA. (We'll also get back, semi-literally, to the word 'area'.) Then we returned and sorted our candy into piles, primarily sorted by type. We traded the things we didn't want for things others people who did want what we didn't want didn't want but we wanted. Then we changed our costumes (with some of MJ's hair gel, I became a person having a bad hair day) and walked to 'the mansion' where we each received 2-3 full size candy bars. Then we went back to Qacei's and ate candy. LOTS of candy. And we did stuff. Then MJ and I slept at Qacei's that night, instead of ever returning to the hotel which we had paid for.

Saturday the 1st of November

Partyness. We played Honey I love you and put on makeup and ate armadillo roadkill and terrorized newbies by accident. Mom and dad went to the hotel for sleep, MJ and Story and I stayed to vex Qacei and co. further.

No, I don't really remember this day at all. There was a lot of partying. Tim Booth came. Mary's blog says so.

Thursday

It happens to be. So it's time for another Thirsday Thirteen. How about...Thirteen Things I Do During The Day, Which May Or May Not Be Educationally Relevant.

1. Read good books of all kinds, but mostly fantasy, and primarily Diana Wynne Jones when in that category.

2. Write books, poems, short stories, journal entries, blog posts, post it notes, math problems, ideas, thoughts, lists, and other assorted scribblings.

3. Draw people, bouncy balls, and other shadow-casting/shiny objects. This is definitely educationally relevant, but it's also fun. Notice how often that happens?

4. Watch TV shows, but only if they are good ones.

5. Read Manga, which belongs in a seperate category from reading books, because Manga isn't just words, it's also images, so it's more like Read/Watch Manga. Perhaps I'll use 'View'. View Manga.

6. Watch Anime, usually online because Netflix is slow and boring. Currently watching: Ranma 1/2 (or re-watching, as the case may be, and is.)

7. Clean my room, which is not done very frequently, but is now occuring at the slow slow rate of our friend the limpet.

8. Eat. This doesn't seem very important, but it takes up a large portion of my time, so I thought I'd mention it here.

9. Listen to music. Unlike most people, I actually listen to music without doing anything else, sometimes. It's more than just background noise, people.

10. Watch movies, as we own some very good ones, and quite a lot of enjoyable ones. I think we have several hundred.

11. Go on Myspace, email, instant messenger, or other forms of communication, including, shocking though it may be, the actual physical presence of another sentient being.

12. Read fanfiction on fanfiction.net, which does not occupy much of my time, but as it does occupy some of it, I thought I could add it to the list. It is sometimes good, as compared to the rest of the fics out there, which cause people to gouge out their own eyeballs and eat them.

13. And finally, I, Chloe, your beloved friend and/or relative, spend large quantities of time missing you, and you, and everyone at camp, and everyone at the conferences, and my family members who live far away, and the family members who live in the same house as me, but whom I never speak to, as I am a recluse.

Brava, me. There's probably other stuff, too, but how am I supposed to know what I do all day? It's not like I pay attention or anything!

C.B.P.M.

Pixelation

Heeheehee. I'm so productive, I pixelate drawings in my spare time. Not that I have any other kind of time, but whatever.

Yay!

Hello, Again

Unfortunately for my avid readers *hem hem* I have not posted anything. At all. Since we got back. I do have a couple of blogposts written down, but unfortunately again, they are written down in my notebook, which is in my bag, the location of which i am unclear on, and I am too lazy to find it and type the aforementioned blogposts into life.



So you're getting this, instead, until I get my lazy butt back in gear.



Mom tagged me for one of those blog tagging games that happen so often, and I'm going to be a kind and merciful daughter and obey the rules of the game. The rules of the game stand thus:



Thou shalt Look into Thy Documents and open folder the sixth containing Photographs.



Thou shalt count to Photograph the sixth in said folder.



Thou shalt taketh this Photograph and post it on thy Blog, in all its heavenly dimensions.



Thou shalt then write, using the Keys supplied for thee on thy keyboard, a Short Story detailing the whereabouts of the contents of said Photograph, and explain to all who may read thy post how this Photograph came to be taken by thy heavenly hand, or by the less heavenly hand of another.

This being done, Thou shalt then Tag another, and so continue the traditions of the ancients.

So here's the picture, have a nice day.



















This was taken out my dorm room window at the Summerhill School in England, and shows a firepit, some logs that may be used for chairs or balancing acts, some buildings, and the skateboard ramp. Also, a tree.


I taggeth all who read this. May your eyes be scorched by this Tag and may thou not rest until ye have completed the task now laid before thee. Ye Evile Godde of Blogges art satisfied, and I go in pieces.


C.B.P.M, ano domini 2008

Hello, World!

Here I am, finally on a computer after about five days of Living and Learning. The conference was great, of course, but also very tiring. After flying on two different planes for a whole day and then driving for two hours, I found myself at the YMCA, and promptly stayed up all night with some people I knew, and some people I got to know. Then a few crazy days that don't actually last as long as you think they do, a couple of funshops, a few talks, and drawings all over my hands and forearms, and I caught a plane to New York city. Of course, I'm not actually seeing much of it, apart from JFK and this hotel, but stil, now I've offically been to New York.

In a few hours time I catch a plane from JFK to Dublin, then a connecting flight into Milan itself. I don't know exactly when we arrive, but I know it's going to take a long, long, time. Once in Milan, however, we'll be picked up by the Baldos, and driven away to begin our wonderful European vacation. Should be fun, huh? I bet you're all really envious. I know I would be :D

Anyway, I don't have much else to say. Can't guarantee many (or any) blog posts while I'm in Europe. No computer with me, and not a lot of time for typing on one anywho. But I can promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Maybe I'll write some stuff down in a notebook while I'm there, and just post that. That might work. Anyway, don't expect any consistency. I'm going to Europe, dude. I don't have enough time or energy to be a computer geek in Europe.

But no matter. Farewell, and I hope you have an awesome time doing whatever you're doing. See you all in October!
