minkhollowFinished Fellowship during Spanish today. (I'll explain how I can pull that off later.) The librarian wasn't there after school, so I couldn't check out Two Towers - not that it really matters, Dad probably has it.
Anyway. Two major thoughts on it:
*Gollum's still a fruitcake. He may be one damn sneaky fruitcake, but he's still a fruitcake.
*I am delighted by the abundance of Legolas/Gimli subtext. Also sorta wondering whether I'd have noticed it in the first place had afrai not said it's there to look for. But that's beside the point, isn't it?
Oh, and Aragorn's up to FOUR different names now. Isn't two usually plenty by most standards?
Continuing on our merry way, I shall now tell you the tale of How I Pull Off Reading Stuff in Class.
The Spanish teacher doesn't really care whether you pay attention in class as long as you aren't preventing other people from doing so. Which, combined with the fact that I know what I'm doing when it comes to Spanish, has led to my habit of writing or reading instead of really paying attention. I follow closely enough that I at least know what she's talking about.
There are people in the class (as was noted in a rather explicit rant in December) who don't get it. They ignore the teacher loudly, and then try to argue that if she's threatening them with demerits, why not me and my friend? (She decided to read today, since it was the fourth day on the same topic. She's on the second Harry Potter book.) I'd explain it to them but I'm not going to waste my breath. I'd need it eventually for throwing them out the window or something... XD
If I thought I needed to follow the class in order to pass, I'd do that. As it is I have an A with only doing the homework if she's going to collect it. At lunch the day it's due.
Came up with another satire idea today. Will probably stick with the MTV one, but this one's good too.
Bit of background for it: The assistant principal is in the habit of trying to herd people back to the cafeteria if they leave after they're done eating, when it's fairly obvious to all students involved that he's not going to make any headway whatsoever.
So, the idea.
There is no cafeteria. Every day this guy comes downstairs telling people to "go back to the cafeteria," but since there's no cafeteria to have been in in the first place, nobody can ever figure out what he's going on about.
And since there is no cafeteria... you eat in the library, you eat in the computer labs, you eat in the gym - basically anywhere they tell you not to eat.
