bliumchikI am happy for I have Firefly. ^_^ oh god I've totally gone fangirl within a week of seeing Serenity. But it's just so awesome! OMG! How cool is Kaylee? And, and, no, I'm not going to drip squee all over this entry at all. Ahem. Anyway, With some help (Okay, explicit instructions) from Stan, I got the scheduler on Shareaza running and hence was able to acquire all the Firefly episodes during my off-peak time. I'm halfway through watching them.
After spending a few hours in a dark room with said episodes on Thursday arvo, I headed off to Avi's birthday party. I got him "He Died With a nFelafel in his Hand" and a last-minute creative item. See, my mum randomly walked into my room on wednesday afternoon and handed my a small block of styrofoam. So, says I to myself (and stan over msn again, poor kid :P), what shall I do with a block of styrofoam? Shall I stick pins into it? I shall make something funky for Avi's birthday with it! What shall I make? I asked Stan. A voodoo doll, says he. But alas, I have not the skill of carving styrofoam into interesting and creative shapes. So, I drew a smiley face on it. Then I needed something for hair. So I ransacked the various drawers full of junk in my room and turned up the following items:
rubber bands
something that used to be a novelty lamp...
the stuff masha once made my hair pink with...
plastic handcuffs
a magnifying glass
a packet of leather strings
Bingo! Says I. Some of these strings (I don't know what they were supposed to be - bootlaces? but they shed too much...) were exactly the colour of his hair, so we were in business. At this point I discovered that you can't clue things to styrofoam. Or if you can, definitely not with a gluestick (I have since been informed that superglue makes it melt ^_^). So I found some tape and stuck it on like that. Then, to allay suspicion, on the back I wrote "This is not a voodoo doll".
Now, after all that effort (and my dad chipped in with a swiss army knife that wasn't actually swiss), what do you think I went and did with Avi'd birthday present? That's right, I went and left it on a bench at the bus stop. Aren't I talented? Luckily my parents were just on their way home from somewhere or other, so I called my dad's mobile as soon as I realised what I'd done and they delivered it shortly aterwards, inexplicably missing the knife (somebody stole it...?). The notvoodoo doll was immediately set upon by Avi's Gerric friends, who proceeded to thwap it with books and poke it, and were exceedingly disappointed when Avi failed to fall over.
Alas, the Father vetoed his plans for vodka, so all we had were watermelon Bacardi Breezers, which were pretty much soft drinks to this crowd. This made me sad as they were all fizzy, and fizzy drinks make my nose itch. At least with vodka, you can mix whatever you want (ie orange juice WHICH DOES NOT FIZZ IN YOUR NOSE). I got re-acquainted with le Jess and all the other Gerric people, who are most amusing. According to avi, Jess and Ian's constant fighting is a sign of great romance to come, but I say, look at Sasha and Liza! He has claw marks on his arms (and kicked her through a door) and there is noooo romance over there. Anyway, I kind of clung to jess as she was the only girl there for ages (Alex and Liza, Liza and Alex, lateness is thy name), although the other Jess also turned up briefly, as did Stan (poor bugger still can't eat anything but potatoes - why is everyone sick lateley?) and Mick, whose new haircut continues to astound me and makes him look like Home and Away's Josh (minus the scary goatee). A bunch of people played poker.
Pizza happened and I acquired a ribbon which Ian and Pavel soon separately tried to get off me (but I pwn haha) although I gave it up eventually because ribbons are so cool they can be shared, and besides, what were they gonna do to it? You can't really damage a ribbon unless you try really hard. Ribbons are cool ^_^ ahem anyway. Alex brought with her Queen of the Damned, which I finally got to finish watching (it wasn't as cool as it could've been, maybe because of all the interruptions and cos I've read the book now). The dog conveniently cleaned up whatever fell on the floor.
After a while half the people left and everyone else settled down to play video games. This lasted most of the night (I fell asleep on the couch around 4). There follow Quotes of the Day:
Liza: Maggie, don't talk to me when you have a ribbon on your face.
(what can I say, ribbons are fun ^_^)
Laivi: Stop hitting each other with weapons and fight already!
(because hitting each other with weapons is just a complex form of foreplay)
I am veeeeeeeeeery sleeeeeepy and I have to go to work in like an hour and I still don't have my insoles which sux0rz but whatever. I'm gonna go have a nap now.
