Merry Nothing!
Wed Dec 14, 2005 19:20 (UTC -5)This entry will be posted on a time delay, but here I am in school, doing nothing in a computer lab while many younger students take state standardized tests. That’s kind of communist-sounding, when I think about it. In Soviet Russia, test takes YOU!
Just now, Michelle was reading my last post as I was writing this one. She got to the Dinosaur Comics link, read the latest comic, and said it was funny. I told her that our friends Brian and Luke are really into Dinosaur Comics. She said, “They’re so dorky,” and added in the same breath, “I’m going to read my Harry Potter book now.”
Reading through the old archives, I notice that I used to use emoticons quite a bit. They’re so stupid that they practically make me want to hang myself. Emoticons should be banned. ’03 seems to have been their heyday for me, but I last used one a year ago, not counting quoting other people (or myself). We’re close to an emoticon-free 2005!
Random thought: If text messaging had been introduced in gritty, snowy Dickensian London, I bet they would have used abbreviations like “t” and “l”:
Fellow: r rite
Fellow: bl00dy l!
Dame: wha’?
Fellow: jus got ppd
…where “ppd” stands for “pickpocketed.”
Just in time for the holidays, the U.S. Postal Service shows you how to address letters to Santa Claus… and God? Yes, apparently the Post Office will honor mail addressed to God. Forget Santa, I’m going to write to God one of these days. I bet His mail is handled by evangelicals… I’ll probably get a lot of brochures and stuff. But wait… what if God starts sending me junk mail once He gets my address? How can you write back and say “Please stop sending your divine junk mail”? How can you have the audacity to stuff all the catalogs, credit card offers, etc. into a business reply envelope addressed to God? That would be quite a dilemma.
Here’s a form of primitive photography. It involves leaves. I’m not going to bother (I don’t know if I can find the right kind of leaf), but show us pictures if you try this.
Two years ago: “He didn’t have a lot of money, so he would give us these to have fun with.”

Usually Brian and I are _way_ ahead of the other losers in terms of… everything. We’ve been reading Dinosaur Comics for a long time. That’s why we’re called “the weirdnesses.” “Hey, T-Rex, have you ever pulled any sweet pranks?”
