Mith, it's a classic.

Lindale, it's just one of those shows I can't stop watching, but I can't figure out why it's just so blasted entertaining.

Listen, 1960s Batman rules.

Without it I'd have lost one of my methods for feeding the baby. Because I sit there with the spoon going "Dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner! Dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner!" to the Batman theme tune and he opens his mouth to laugh and in goes the spoon.

I would have thought the attractions were obvious... they seemed so from what google revealed.


Lal, I remember in School Orchestra the second violin part for some piece was exactly the theme tune ..... of course we couldn' t resist when we rehearsed it as a section.. they couldn't throw us all out

Did anyone else used to run round the school playground when they were a kid shouting "Dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner! Dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner! Batman!", with your anorak hung by the hood from your head, like it was Batman's cape?

I assign being so absorbed in writing that it makes you neglect your schoolwork. Writing is lovely, and it's great to have inspiration for once, but I think it deserves to be assigned to Orthanc because nowadays it's pretty much everything I do on my free time (and even on times when I'm supposed to be studying and not writing nonsense)...

I second that. Except that my inspiration comes randomly and in large quantities.

I assign the paper I have to do in my class "Historical Method B" (or maybe it should be tranlsated "History Method B")

It is about the mutiny on HMAV Bounty and it is actually extremely interesting, but also extremely confusing. After reading the log of Captain Bligh, James Morrison and Alexander Smith you don't know what to belive. . . and Edward Christian of course also add to the confusion. So even after having written 11 pages, I still feel like I am missing something.

What an odd thing to write a paper on! Just avoid watching the Mel Gibson film if you don't want an unbiased account as like everything else with Mel Gibson in it, it's less than the 'truth' Though the ships are nice.

Well, if I try to think as a male, I'd think she is gorgeous and that gorgeousness may make up for the lack of sense. But the very idea still makes me laugh. See, I live in a society where men are still pseudo-conservatives (read: hypocrites ).

The fact that I finally have a writing teacher who doesn't automatically tell me I'm awesome. She's just like "Yeah, you screwed this up. Again. Seriously, Laura, just admit that you suck, will you? Just admit it and move on..."

Sigh.

I like being challenged, but I also like being lavished with praise. Is it too much to ask that she lavish me with praise while challenging me?

No of course not, it sounds quite reasonable to be honest, but it is seldom that teachers posses the ability to do so.

They don't do that at school, but maybe at home or in an amorous thing. The family does that all the time on my cooking. Specially if I forgot to add salt: "Consuelo wth is this? Beef stew without salt, are we that poor now?!" If I remember all ingredients properly I make the best Filipino beef stew ever, but if I forget it's my head on the guillotine, it's like they never want me in the kitchen again. But in that case, who would cook for them?

Also the fact that I am a closet romantic. I keep all my Nicholas Sparks under my bed, so my dad won't see and mock me for the rest of m y life.

Fea, Boro, Eomer and others. . .

I don't know if this is acually something that needs to be assigned anywhere, but since I did not know where to write it. . . .

I seem to be repping to little and not spreading it around enough.
For the last months when I have tried to rep people I am told to spread my reputation around (exept for a few times) and sometimes this comes as a suprise as I cannot remember repping that person.

I wish I could give you guys the rep you deserv, but first I will have to broaden my repping selection.
