Things I Wish I Knew in High School

  • If someone tells you that you are oversensitive, that person is probably a jerk.
  • Always use protection. Yes, you. Yes, always.
  • Boys who say, “I’m kind of messed up,” probably are.
  • If someone asks for your phone number and that person
    creeps you out, it's okay to give the wrong number.
  • When you don't want to talk to someone, you don't
    have to pick up the telephone.

Make me laugh, win some stuff

IMG_0095 1. My awesome web designer, Theo Black, made me two cool Disreputable History t-shirts with the insignia of The Loyal Order.

2. I have a stack of Dramarama audiobooks, hot off the presses and read by a real live Broadway star. 
  
3. So:  I am having a contest!  A super easy contest that will last until MIDNIGHT FEBRUARY 14th, after which there will be two winners!

Each person will get a signed book of their choice (except Disreputable. I have no copies of that --  I gave them all away);  a Dramarama CD (or CD with mp3);  and a shirt. 

Here's all that's required. 
Make me laugh.  
IN THE COMMENTS TO THIS POST ONLY, tell me a joke or something that happened to you. Or point me to a link, or post an LOLcat. I am really pretty easy to please. Just nothing inappropriate for the readers of this blog who are YOUNG PERSONS, thank you very much. Filthy jokes make me laugh as much as the next girl --- but I need them left off this blog. 

If I laugh, your name will be entered into a drawing and there will be two selected at random from the piles of amusing items.  

I have no idea if anyone will enter. Maybe no one will. Maybe the long winter will sap you all of your amusing anecdotes, or maybe anyone who reads this blog already owns the Dramarama audio. 

But if people do enter, comments area will be just a festival of amusing amusing tidbits that can make every blog visitor have a better day. Eh? And two people will get Theo's awesome t-shirts plus some free Lockhartian reading experiences. 

Below, proof of how easy it is to make me laugh.

Last year in German class, we played Bingo a lot. Anyway, certain boys in my class would get ultra-competitive. Going extreme lengths to win to, I don't know, prove their worthiness? These cocky boys would usually end up losing, badly, but that's another story... One time though a particularly cocky boy, let's call him “A”, did somehow legitimately win. So proud of himself, he stood up, arms in the air, and shouted, “Yah! The X chromosome wins again! Let's hear it for XX, we rule!!”

*rolls eyes*

Best sentences ever:

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

N.T.

One day in history, we were talking about how during the French Revolution, there was a lot of beheading with guillotines. Whenever my teacher was talking about how someone was gonna have his head chopped off, he would say how they had a date with Madame Guillotine. He said that they're just like bagel slicers. He also told us that a girl in one of his earlier periods said she use to chop her dolls heads off with one when she was little! I laughed so hard!

... And here is a true, and very sad, story from my high school English education.

The setting: 10th grade in an academically rigorous public school in New York. We are reading Hamlet. We have broken up into small groups to discuss. Our small groups are now reporting back to the class.

FIRST STUDENT GROUP: We felt disillusioned by this book. Everyone says Shakespeare is such a great writer, but this book is full of cliches! I mean, "dead as a doornail"? How many times have you heard *that* one?

TEACHER: Great point, guys!

ELIZABETH: Hey, I'm not sure about this, but I always thought those things were cliches because Shakespeare said them first and everyone else copied...

TEACHER: Ahh yes... *another* good point!

... And there you have it, folks. Because any idea about a book, evidently, is a good idea. (Or so they would have us believe.)

Angela

Warning--this is kind of morbid.

when my sister was a teenager she had a bird. One morning she woke up and the bird was having a seizure on the bottom of the cage. so she looked up ways to euthanize a bird, so that it wouldn't suffer. The information she found said to punch holes in a paper bag, put holes in the bag, and put it up to the tailpipe of a running car.

my sister did that, but forgot to punch holes in the bag first. So when she put it up to the tialpipe, the bag caught on fire!!

Two buffalos are out on the range. Two guys drive past them, and one guy turns the other and says "Buffalos are the mangiest looking beasts I've ever seen. The one buffalo turns to the other buffalo and says" I think I just heard a discouraging word."

When my little brother was 3 he asked my mom if we were "in" milk. She didn't get it so he said. "You know because the other day we were "out" of milk so are we "in" milk today"

Rachel

ooooookay:
I am 14. I am not even 5' yet. All my friends are 5'4'' or taller. Yeah. So, my friends were all love to make fun of my shortness. So, I devised a clever comeback: I'm not short. I'm fun sized.
When I had to break to said friends that I wouldn't be going to my current school next year, I said: Your fun sized ball of glowing humor is about to move elsewhere. Any more short jokes?
