    thanksgiving is over..
    Who would ever guess that southern comfort could be used to marinade green beans, bacon, cheesecake, pasta and ham somethingorother? Bleh.. some things are better left alone..
    Anyway, thanksgiving is now over... and so the rediculous race to Christmas begins.. the only point of Christmas, as I see it, is the vacation. Oh, and sledding. Can't forget that. Maybe this year I will try cross country skiing.. it doesn't look too difficult.. the hills of Uconn would be perfect (they aren't great for much else. Unless you are a cow.) I wonder how long it would take to ski from my highschool to my house.. I will have to try that. I wonder if there are any laws about skiing on roads? Yield to skiiers? What happens if you hit a cow by accident while on skiis? (besides scaring the cow and denting your skis..) These are important things to consider.. The only kink in my grand scheme is that I do not own any skis, and I have no idea how to ski...
    I'm going to try to organize a bobsled race.. I have this plan to carve a track down the side of horsebarn hill, pour water down it so that it ices over.. then my friends and I can race down it at breakneck speeds.. i wonder how difficult it would be to build banked curves.. -holly

    Current Mood: contemplative
    Current Music: rolling stones- paint it black, sympathy for the devil

    6:41 pm
    random rant (first of many, I'm sure)
    Hmm... my friends have the coolest names. Pratistha, Shiran, Mercedes, Brvenik, Hao, Tikki.. fun. My name is sorta boring.. maybe I could be a Vivienne.. no.. sounds too much like a stripper. Maybe Persimmonee? Adelaide? Titania? At least Holly is short.. if I ever decided to get anything embroidered with my name, which I probably wouldn't, at least it would cost less.

    I can't wait to start sewing again. My parents wouldn't let me bring the family sewing machine with me to Meadowmount, (aka Ghettomount) so I haven't been able to work on anything all summer. Maybe I should start on my Halloween costume.. yes, Halloween costume. I'm not going to go trick-or-treating- that's reserved for the 4 foot and under, and inebriated college kids- but my highschool lets us wear whatever we want on Halloween. Last year I was Queen Elizabeth.. that was interesting. At least I got to block hall traffic with my ridiculously wide dress and train. It was great fun until I almost passed out in my math class because of the corset that I had made to go with the outfit.. I had to excuse myself and was about to black out as I made it into the bathroom and tore the thing off. I spent the rest of the day with the back of my dress duct-taped together. memories..memories.. Maybe I will be the lady of the lake from King Arthur this year.. or Maeb.

    If a gang of pirates and a gang of ninjas had a free-for-all, who would win? This was one of the hotly debated topics at camp. My vote goes with the pirates- I mean, sure, they haven't studied combat all their lives, but they have guns AND swords.

    Current Mood: calm
    Current Music: Tchaikovsky- Symphony Pathetique
