Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

I just finished up my The Great Gatsby essay while ago. While pathvain_aelien was proofreading it, she tried to paste a quote I had included to a different paragraph, but accidentally pasted something from a text file I have on how often I have used each of my userpics (because I've started trying not to leave any of my userpics unused for too long) instead, since it happened to still be in the clipboard. The resulting sentence said:

As Nick states, , back of Riley's head

:D

I dunno if I've posted about this before (and bedtime's getting close, so I don't have time to check), but in English class I had to make a posterboard of the four poems I had to write and some symbols and/or quotes relating to the poems and/or myself.

One of my quotes was the backwards Enya lyric "Now woods think Matt is stupid, but first, I'm giving it end," since it actually had to do with one of my poems (about not making sense). I put it on with my redesigned Enya sprite. Once I was finished gluing everything, my mom pointed out that the Enya sprite was coming off. No, wait, actually she said:

"This little guy's coming off."

"little guy's coming off"

"little guy"

"guy"

Maybe this is what Enya meant by "Under star, we met the gender." (backwards Amarantine; stupid the fact that OWY1U's not up right now) She's quite tall, too (especially if you don't compare her to Waenya or know what Waenya looks like yet).

This guy on SparkLife hates The Scarlet Letter so much that he's writing hilarious summaries of it. Don't get me wrong, I actually like the book somewhat, but these summaries are still hilarious.

Top ten lines so far:

10) "The Governor, Reverend Dimmesdale, Reverend Wilson and creepy husband Chillingworth enter the room and immediately begin talking about Pearl, calling her 'a little bird' and a demon child. Tweet tweet! ROAR!"

9) "The charming man tells [Hester] that he's not interested in her soul; he's going to find out who her baby's father is and get his revenge that way. Then he kills a puppy just so we're absolutely certain that he's a bad guy."

8) "I said I wanted mushrooms! This is pepperoni! I didn’t realize Beelzebub worked in this pizzeria!"

7) "Granted, it's probably the most action-packed description of a door in literary history, but still, that's all that happens."

6) "Pearl calls her mother over to look at the giant suit of armor, which would probably be overkill if you were defending yourself from mud attacks."

5) "The most likely answer is that this chapter picks up immediately, but I like to pretend that a few hours have gone by of the townspeople waiting for something to happen as Hester continues being embarrassed and occasionally asking for a chair."

4) "My knowledge of history during this time is a little shaky, but think of all the much cooler jobs [Nathaniel Hawthorne] could've had: blacksmith, statesman, pirate, dinosaur rider."

3) "If I had known that Hester was going to get super powers from this, doesn't [Hawthorne] think [he] should have called the book The Magic Scarlet Letter or The Super Adulterer?"

2) "Then some kid comes over and gives a three-hour lecture as to why he's going to throw a pinecone at Hester's head."

1) "Feeling a strange sensation, [Hawthorne] presses the letter to his chest and suddenly he gains all the powers of the letter A and goes on to fight crime as A-Man! Defender of alphabetizing!"

The funniest three things I ever heard today:

So, I have a project in reading class where I have to pick four quotes in Night that have to do with one of the symbols in the book and explain each quote. I picked fire as the symbol, and had asked pathvain_aelien if she could help me with it, and she agreed, but then she said she doesn't remember any instances of fire in Night. Then this happened:

ME: (something about the part where Mrs. Schächter says, "Fire! I see a fire! I see a fire!")
PATHVAIN_AELIEN: Wait, what?
ME: You know, that woman on the bus who--
PATHVAIN_AELIEN: Did you just call her Trogdor?

Later on, when pathvain_aelien was getting something:

PATHVAIN_AELIEN'S BOYFRIEND: Come on, Trogdor!

Even later, when we were talking about the project again:

PATHVAIN_AELIEN'S BOYFRIEND: Is Trogdor a symbol?

Sure, the Trogdor comes in the night, but not the one by Elie Wiesel.
