Greetings, fellow beings!
Was I dead? Buried alive? Kidnapped? Sent to HELL? No, I merely forgot to post.
BOOKS YOU MUUUUUUUUUSSSST READ
Hiroshi Ishikaki- Chain Mail.
1984. What? It's bloody awesome.
A RANT, PUBLISHED HERE BECAUSE I NEED TO VENT THIS.
I am in the Creative Writing club at school, and you know what we are doing? MEMOIRS. Memoirs, people! We have not even had any exploits that panicked the nation! We are in middle school! Any memoirs we write will be the I-learned-a-lesson-when-my-dog-died or my-having-a-baby-makes-me-interesting badly written type. I want to write about love! About magic! About fighting! About evil! About dystopian empires! Not about my memories. I'm far too young and untwisted for those to be interesting.

Death! Ruin! Destruction!
COWER, BRIEF MORTALS.
I hate almost everything about the holidays, but they have some good things about them. To wit:
1. Presents.
2. Hogfather, Terry Pratchett. I love this book so much it isn't even funny.
3. Hark To The Bells. That's a favorite song, carol or otherwise.
4. The Nutcracker.
5. A Christmas Carol. Who'd pass up a chance to see another festive Grim Reaper?
6. Holiday break.
7. Christmas lights.
8. Chocolate coins.
9. Decorating trees.
10. Saturday Night Live Christmas special, which we watched last night.
11. FIRE!!!
12. Snow.
13. I've run out of things.
What I don't like:
1. Santa.
2. Latkes. I detest latkes.
3. 99% of all holiday songs.
4. That the aforementioned crappy songs are all they ever play on the radio or in Barnes and Noble.
5. 99% of all holiday movies.
6. That Hanukah is never on the break.
7. Barbie's A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker. I actually screamed "HOW CAN YOU DEFILE THE JOY OF THE HOLIDAYS?!?!" when I saw those.
8. The cold.
9. Socializing with relatives. This is normally okay, but in large groups? I DO NOT LIKE THE GROUPS. I get uncomfortable at my own birthday party.
10. That my otherwise awesome family-friend neighbors always show the horrible Christmas movies.
11. Droning in Hebrew.
12. Advent calenders.
13. Candy canes.
Oh, I shouldn't be so ambivalent about this! After all, I am Eggnog, according to the 'What Hot Beverage Are You?' quiz I took once. So, I should like the holidays.
Right.
I'll stop pretending to be Scrooge rather than the Ghost of Christmas Future and let you get on with your life, shall I?

OOOOOOOOOH....
ODD–THELLO
A dream: I was in a bookstore, reading a graphic novel of Othello, and it was modernized. At first, Othello and Desdemona has not yet met, and I was like 'It's okay...it just hasn't gotten started...'. Then things got odd, and there were guerrilla attacks, fairies, long train rides, a coffee shop, and, for some reason, Fai D. Florite (WHAT'S WITH YOU, TSUBASA? GET THE HELL OUT OF MY DREAMS!). Moral: no more Shakespeare before bedtime. OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE ODD DREAMS TO THE POINT IN WHICH VAMPIRES SIT IN COFFEE SHOPS AND ARE ATTACKED BY THE POLICE.
._______________________.
It's gonna be Hannukah soon! On the first night, we'll decorate the neighbor's Christmas tree OH THE IRONY. I don't care about that, because I have a chance to read Terry Pratchett(a new favorite) and I SHALL NOT GIVE UP! NEVER GIVE UP! GET STRONGER! MUCH STRONGER!

Mirror/Reflection
Happy holidays to all you readers. I am currently in the OH GOD GET STUFF MUST GET STUFF NOW!!!! phase of Holiday StressTM, and it is DIFFICULT. Never daunted, I go on.
.__________________________.
Have you seen the Animal Farm movie? It is the worst thing I have ever seen. It has smashed apples, which scared the &*#( out of me, as that is my hot-button phobia. I cannot deal with fruit grossness! However, it changed SNOWBALL! from being like Granny Weatherwax to being like Magrat. From the Doctor to Rory. From Yuko to Watanuki. From Minako to- OKAY OKAY WE GET IT ALREADY. And they had a sucky-ass ending, and lowered Benjamin and Mollie's participation(BASTARDS!)and GOT RID OF CLOVER AND THE CAT! BASTARDS! Oh, and they also made Benjamin less cynical. THAT'S WHY WE LIKED HIM BASTARDS.
However, OH MY GOD SO FUNNY! The constant rain! The overwrought music! The movies! Oh my god, the movies! Adjectives fail me. They just...fail me.
The puppies were adorable. It is the rare movie that cannot be saved by putting in puppies. It was not saved.
.________________________.
At one point in my theater class, I was informed by the teacher that a class had at one point put on a post-apocalyptic Antigone. A girl in my class was much taken by this fact. Sensei kept trying to change the subject, and SHE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS was like, 'Wait. What about the Antigone?'
._________________________.
THE BEST WALK EVER.
So, my mother and I were walking back to my school from a school tour, and we saw:
1. One of those mannequins with no head on a bicycle, in winter garb, and delivering presents. This was in the window of a liquor store(of course). OH GOD HE KNOWS WHERE YOU LIVE.
2. An ad for a band whose graphic was a child with the head of a snarling bear holding a limp teddy bear in one hand.
3. That ad with the giant gnome who kidnaps people. New Yorkers will know what I mean.

Let's end this farce!
