This is how I roll...

My weekend hasn't had many extremely entertaining happenings to post about thus far, mostly I've just done English homework. We have a new student teacher, and she's assigned us a ridiculous amount of work to do by Wednesday, just to make us think she's tough or something. Or so I surmise. Though, in all honesty, she reminds me a bit of a cross between a colonial housewife and a horse. Ah, sorry, that there was spiteful of me...I s'pose I'm just a taaaaaad bitter about, oh, the first half of "The Sorrows of Young Werther" we have to read, the notes and vocab we have to take and be graded on, the daily journal entries, our impending paper on "Oedipus", AND having to read "Anna Karenina". Oh, and the claim that this is all meant to "help us" and "not stress us out". WELL GUESS WHAT?! I HAPPEN TO BE VEEERY STRESSED OUT.
Ach mein Gott.
On one bright note, though, I got to talk on the phone for 4-and-a-half hours with my boyfriend Friday night/Saturday morning...although that may be just a wee bit excessive. Oh, and it's our four-month-iversary. Woot! We've almost defied the whole "high-school-relationships-last-5-months-on-average" statistic thing.
Hey, I just realized that "statistic" and "sadistic" are very similar words, in appearance...as are "bullet" and "ballet". That latter combo intrigues me, since the meanings of the word couldn't be more different. I mean, you have a cold, deadly piece of whizzing metal, and then you have a graceful and artistic dance form. I don't know, it just strikes me as odd. Speaking of odd words, the word "benign" never seems to me that it should mean what it means. It means something that's good, benevolent, or kind, but just the way the word sounds makes me think that it should mean something that's strange, or weird, or slightly twisted or just "off". You know? Like, "That freak show at the circus was weird. All of the people in it were so benign!" Or, "The aliens that stole all of Farmer Al's sheep looked rather benign, with their greenish skin and multiple clavicles." Or, "The questions on my English test did not pertain to the material we had studied, in fact, they were downright benign." Heck, even "My brothers are benign." See what I mean? Well, it all makes sense in my head, anyways...
Sooo...right now I'm babysitting the li'l tykes while my parents go grocery shopping (it's the only time they have to themselves, given that there are 7 of us kids...), watching "Wuthering Heights" on Masterpiece Theater, drinking soy milk, and blogging. How'sa that for multi-tasking? Ha, I feel like such a little geek. Yup, this is how I spend my weekend evenings...with Masterpiece Theater and vegetarian dairy substitutes! Yay! But really, Masterpiece Theater is the best. You get the benefits of idle television watching, AND classic literature! "Wuthering Heights" is a pretty snazzy book. Plus, you have to admit, all the Victorian-era costumes are awesomer-than-a-possumer. Aaaaanyyyhoooooo... I guess I'll be off on my merry way, now...catch ya on the flip side! Jeez, that was weird... :P
