You don't even KNOW

Entries I've started, but been unable to finish

1. A story about how a jackhole of a mechanic tried to convince me it would cost $800 to repair my busted car, when in fact it only cost $121 when I took it to my regular mechanic. So to everyone: I would like to hereby endorse RRR Automotive in Malvern for being awesome and not scamming me out of $700 right before Christmas. And also don't go to the Great Valley Sunoco. Because they will SWINDLE your ass.
   
   
2. How it is seemingly impossible for me to convince Jim, Stephanie, and Renee W. that I am capable of any of the following: attitude (but I did the finger wave and head bob!), anger, meanness, or lying. True, by the end of the dinner I had promised to make Jim cookies and revealed embarrassing stories about pudding wrestling, but STILL. I really really promise that I can be just as cold, cynical and black-hearted as the rest of the population. It's just that when I'm with Jim, Stephanie, and Renee W. I don't want to be. So they only see my good side.
   
   
3. How Stephanie and I are made of WIN. We had ourselves a Whosmas this week and presented each other with rocking Whovian gifts. I am now in possession of a rocking WhoScarf as well as action figures that I have delighted in arranging in slashy poses. Because I am twelve. Stephanie and I are seriously considering catching a flight to London on Tuesday so we can watch Voyage of the Damned. Because that's going to take FOREVER to get to the States for reasons that I can't even comprehend, and we need to invest in learning how BitTorrent works like right now so we can get our Whofix.
   
   
4. How I've been a bit of a movie fiend lately. Recently viewed: No Country for Old Men, The Golden Compass, and Sweeney Todd. All good, all worth the price of admission. The Golden Compass you should read before you see though, as it will enhance your viewing considerably. If you want to develop bizarre crushes for psycho killers (and you will, oh yes, you will) than No Country for Old Men is for you. And Sweeney Todd is just gloriously bloody and ridiculous and disgusting, and fantastic because it's a musical about killing people and grinding them into food. And also: Cameo by Anthony Head. Next on the list is Juno and Atonement. Looking forward to 2008 and The Dark Knight since Heath Ledger as the Joker looks nothing short of deranged and I say yes.
   
   
5. How our Christmas tree (which Mike totally picked out, I blame him entirely) attacked me and Kelly while we were trying to put lights on it. The thing fell over on us no less than three times, leading to Kelly and I covered in sap and eventually lying under the tree trying hack off an errant branch with a serrated bread knife.

I foolishly thought that I would be able to relax this week since school is over, but instead it's been all OmigodItsChristmas panic!
