my sister is a never-ending source of amusement. as well as being the hershey fairy. apparently.

while reading this, keep in mind that i was never actually talking to mary at any point during the evening. she was just leaving random messages on my computer.

spacegirl: Donde estas?
spacegirl: De que haces?
spacegirl: quiero que hablar contigo
spacegirl: I could write you things in Hebrew, but my keyboard won't make their goofy letters
spacegirl: Of course, I could mostly write things like, "I want soup with lemon", but still, it would be things
spacegirl: never mind about the soup
spacegirl: I can't remember how to say it
spacegirl: I can say, "I live in a big house with lemon"

and then a little while later...

spacegirl: I just made up a song
spacegirl: It's called "My Accounting Song"
spacegirl: It goes like this...
spacegirl: "It's really boring, really boring, really boring. It's really boring..."
spacegirl: I was just singing it
spacegirl: It's a good song

followed soon by the true highlight of this extensive conversation between her and my computer:

spacegirl: I bought a box of 30 candy bars today to use up my extra food money
spacegirl: I have no earthly idea what I'm going to do with 30 candy bars
spacegirl: but I saw them and I was like, well hey, it's better to buy that than to waste food money
spacegirl: so I will most likely be depositing candy bars in various and sundry locations throughout your apartment when I come to visit
spacegirl: I'll be like the Hershey fairy
spacegirl: scattering joy and goodwill and reese's cups
spacegirl: I should get a big hat shaped like a hershey kiss
spacegirl: it would be hot

on the third day of christmas...

i saw chocolate advent calendars at trader joe's. and i bought one. and it's wonderful.

the day's accomplishments

things i did today:

1.) bought a $2000 industrial sewing machine*
2.) learned to drive an E250 cargo van on I-95**
3.) almost broke my record for "most traffic laws violated in a five minute time span" while attempting to navigate through rosslyn***



it was a rather productive day.





* i can sew leather! and rubberized fabric! and ballistic nylon!
** this vehicle has no side windows. do you realize how hard it is to merge into traffic with no side windows??
*** i don't think anything can quite beat the brilliance of turning the wrong way down a one-way street, then driving down the sidewalk, then driving across the library lawn, then pulling an illegal u-turn through oncoming traffic.

quiz results

apparently if i was a disney villain, i would be lady tremaine.

interesting, since she frightened me as a small child. something about the disembodied voice rasping from behind the curtains in the dark and creepy bedroom freaked my out a little. and the demonic cat didn't help.
