*regaining breath, Sir Sane nodds* Right gladly... Behold the smack down that I shall lay down upon these dark fiends, and ye shall learn! This is a battle and a half. I have two hours left and one and half papers left to go.
*gratefully accepts the cup of coffee, the monsters standing warily at bay. Sane tosses her now useless Rasoplast sheild and picks up another one, and retrieves her Pensword from a slain Paper monster's chest* Okay you boogers who is next?

Hehe, apparently decapitated heads needed a travel-permit in Edo-Japan (that's the 2 centuries or so before 1868)... I wonder why.
*is reading a book for her thesis* I found a lot of interesting statements today. Never knew traveling and souvenirs could have such... interesting (and sometimes morbid) sides to it.

*snuggles back*
Maybe Edo Japan didn't want to have to distinguish between heads as cargo, and the empty heads of regular passengers. Sounds like an efficient beaurocracy. *is sure that isn't spelled correctly, but wth*

*slays the last paper monster and rams her shattered sword through its breast*
Man am I glad that is done... Now...What to do with my Spanish Final? *head droops down but then comes back up* Dance with me? *hand open to Sis as an invitation* Dunno why, just felt like it all of a sudden?

Hmm, who knows. And they did lump it together with corpses and women, so maybe there was some sort of system to it after all...
Why did they put women at the same level as corpses and decapitated heads though? Bureaucracy is what my spellings check says it is. But then again, my spellings check says that grey is wrong By the way, did you get round to making that cherrypie? *looks hungry* EDIT: Sane I can help you with Spanish. I can tell you exactly how good I am at speaking Spanish! Unfortunately that's the only thing I can tell you *looks pleading* But I'm sure you'll do fine. Heck, you got great grades for your oral right? This'll be easy. *keeps fingers crossed*

*dances happily*
Mari, the tarts are individual pies. I have a couple of bigger ones, but I was planning to break them out later...and there are strawberry, rhubarb, and strawberry-rhubarb ones, too. The pastry tops are coded, you'll see it. Grey-gray is a British English, American English thing.

Yups, never trust your American spell check to know the right spelling
Hmm, I never had rhubarb (though I have a vague idea that you may be talking about rabarber) so I'll try that! ^_^ Thanks Sis! *waits till the dance is over before tackling Sis and then Sane, helping them up and tackling them again* Hehe, I have to make up for all those times I couldn't do that.

*happily dances with Sis*
Well, that is my history class taken care of. Just have to speak to the professor and I'm set. *gives her a twirl and when the dance is done is promptly tackled by Mari, helped up and then retackled. Sane grabs Mari and dances with her too.*

Can I whine about car buying? I went in to see a particular car...with window sticker printed. The sales guy clearly felt I needed a different car, so he showed me the car I really needed, lol.
He's going to have to do better than that, if he expects me to part with actual cash. This is the car he'd like me to buy, lol. It probably gets about 9 miles to the gallon. It has several TV's...unlike my house.

Why would anyone need a TV in their CAR?!? And then they are amazed when we here say "crazy Americans with crazy ideas"
(Not that I think you are crazy other then pleasantly crazy, but you get the point )

Not only A TV. Several. With Disney Channel, or something. And plug -ins for video games, and who knows what all.
I doubt it would have happened if I'd walked in there with Nerd's hairdo. My appearance is too conventional, but I cherish it because it gives me the element of surprise.

*is enjoying her really really healthy yummy soup*
Or, actually, it's more of a stew. Way too thick to be soup.

Worked for me and my sis. Well, not for my sis maybe, because she always had ants in her pants (still does) but you get the point. Or maybe I'm just horribly traditional Sis, nothing wrong with conventional and you just look too young and sweet (i.e. easily persuadable), that's the problem. Rinkë, can I have some? I don't want to cook tonight. ^_^

Thankfully, I'm about 30 miles south of the very worst of the flooding. Some of our low-lying areas got a lot, and we had a good deal of water in the basement, but not nearly as much as, say, Seymour or Bloomington. So thankfully, our water is still fine and my house and car aren't under water.
*gives Mari a bowl of vegetable stew*
