Hogwarts!

Well guys--it finally came! My Hogwarts letter finally arrived!!!!

Obviously they had the wrong address when they tried to send it by owl and it has been stuck in some dusty office ever since.  Hey Mom and Dad, "we have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful?"


Of course, there were a few blatant typos:  they referred to  Hogwarts as the "National Society of Collegiate Scholars" and misspelled Professor McGonogall's name and really, don't you think that sending an email instead of a letter was a little tacky?  

Either way, I'm pretty psyched out of my mind right now, and for all you doubters, here's the proof, legitimately copied and pasted from my email: 

Congratulations again and we look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,

Doris McGonagill

Assistant Professor of German

BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!

obviously the same person

Meme #4

Okay...this is a good one.

Meme #3

Alright---the last meme I made got ONE RE-PIN on Pinterest! YESSSSSSS!!!! While I consider that a great victory, I am trying at least one more time.  (This is how I relax when my homework is almost done)

My goal for this one is to get THREE RE-PINS.  I'm banking on a lot of Les Mis loving floating around right now, and who doesn't love a Dwight meme?

Meme #2

Okay, so the Amanda Seyfried/Bunnicula meme didn't go anywhere, but today I was grocery shopping with my roommate and she unknowingly gave the inspiration for this next attempt.
All credit for this meme goes to Beka Fullerton for the idea, the random couple whose picture I found on Google images, and me for putting the two together.

Bucket List: Internet Meme

So, one of the things I like to do as I search for direction in life is to cross little items off my bucket list.  Maybe I'm not in a position to do big, life-changing things today but I can do little things that are just for fun and after I've done them, I get the satisfaction of checking them off that little list.

Today I have decided to create an internet meme.  An internet meme is something that spreads via the internet, and lately (thanks to Facebook and Pinterest), the word "meme" usually has a connotation of being humorous.

Ideally, I'd like to make a meme, post it on the internet, and then randomly find it in a few weeks after it has SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLOBE! But honestly, if just two or three people re-pin in, I will consider that good enough.

Today's attempt features actress Amanda Seyfried, who is getting a lot of publicity and attention lately.  Generally speaking, she doesn't strike me as a look-alike for a small, furry animal, but every time I see this one picture I just can't shake the resemblance to "Bunnicula," the fictional rabbit vampire.

At least...I thought Bunnicula was fictional...after this picture, I'm not so sure. Perhaps Amanda is a were-rabbit.   (Let it be known, I don't really have an opinion on her acting abilities or personality or follow her celebrity gossip. Let's just say I call them as I see them.)

So now I am going to pin this picture onto my Pinterest, and we'll see if it goes anywhere.  If it doesn't, I'll just try again the next time the inspiration hits me for a new meme.

In Which the Blog Writer Begs for Help

It's been a while since I've posted on this blog, but today I have a special request of anyone who reads it...

HELP ME!

I decided yesterday to do NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which is exactly what it sounds like.  You have one month to write a 50,000 word novel.  Way scary, right?

I don't know if I'll be able to do it, but I sure am going to try.  The only problem now is that I have a writer's block at word count 0.  I don't have a single idea to work from!!!

That's where you all come in.  Leave a comment of just a few random words or a random sentence that I could maybe glean some inspiration from. I'd really appreciate it.  The more random it is, the better!

I'm borrowing this concept from Rhett and Link, who used it to come up with one of my favorite songs, "Nilla Wafer Top Hat Time".  Leave a comment for me, and then watch the video as your special reward for helping a sista out.  Thanks everybody!
