The Friday Five ~
1. Has anyone ever spoiled a book/movie/etc. for you?
Oh yes! When I went to the 7th Harry Potter book release these guys were walking around with signs that said, “Hedwig dies!” “Dobby dies!” “Voldemort kills himself LOL!” I thought that they were just being silly and stupid, but a few hours later into reading the book I was sad to discover their signs were true.
2. Have you ever spoiled a book/movie/etc. for anyone?
No I’m pretty good about that. I usually ask first if they want to know any spoilers.
3. Are you (or were you) spoiled as a child?
I have a lot of people (family included) that think I’m spoiled. I am beyond exhausted of defending myself because it’s the same kind of people. I think it’s jealousy more than anything else.
4. Do you put spoiler cuts when you discuss books/film in your journal?
I either do that or I warn people right up front that there are spoilers, and if they don’t want to read them to go elsewhere.
5. Is there any food spoiling in your kitchen right now?
Um I think there is some cottage cheese spoiling right now. I should toss it out, but I feel bad cuz it’s like tossing money in the garbage.

This week has been crazy trying to get registered for classes. It just so happens all the classes I need to take next quarter are on a Wednesday, and my new job is on Wednesday. It leaves me room only for a 5:30-9:30pm class. Here’s my official schedule!
Introduction to Video, Monday 8am-12
Photo Graphics, Tuesday 1-5pm
Intermediate Web Based Programming, Wednesday 5:30-9:30pm
I’m testing out of Introduction to Web Design, so next quarter I can take Intermediate Web Design. By summer next year I should be done with my Associates and moving onto my Bachelor’s degree! Woo!

I had this big long entry all about my busy weekend written out Monday, but then life happened. So here we are at Wednesday! Today was week 2 of my study hall job. It was terribly hot today (see the temp in my car), so some of the kids were a bit on the cranky side especially since they couldn’t go outside.
My AM kids, pictured above, cracked me up this morning with a political conversation. I was sitting with them working on my homework for my Visual Language & Culture class, and I turned a page in my book that happened to have the Obama Hope poster on it.
Kid #1: Is that Obama?
Me: Yes it is.
Kid #1: How old are you?
Me: Twenty-three.
Kid #1: Ohhh that means you can vote!
Me: Yup!
Kid #1: Who did you vote for?
Me: Not Obama!
All Kids: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Did you vote for McCain?
Me: Yes I did.
All Kids: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Kid #1: My parents voted for him too!
Kid #2: I heard Obama talk on the radio that he was gonna give people more jobs.
Kid #3: He hasn’t. He’s made the country worst.
Kid #1: I hope McCain wins next time!
I just about died with laughter. It’s amazing what kids pick up and understand. I think I have a lot of conservative kids!

The Friday Five ~
1. How picky are you about toothpaste?
I’m picky in the sense that it needs to be sensitive toothpaste.
2. What’s the best cooked dish you’ve had that included mint?
Dish? Um I made peppermint fudge, which is the only thing I recall making with mint.
3. How far would you have to go from where you are right now to get a breath mint?
I’d have to reach into my backpack where I have some Listerine strips.
4. Got any gum?
Nope, but I know Joshua does… unless he chewed it all.
5. What’s something you keep in mint condition?
Used to be my Barbie dolls, but I like how they look out of their boxes.

Tonight we had our usual Friday night sushi adventure, and then afterward everyone came over for another Macbook Party! This time there were 7 of us and for whatever reason we were all about Skype. We were all Skyping each other and having waaay too much fun with it!
We played one round of Apples-to-Apples, and then we looked for people on Craigslist to call using the Prank Me! app, which we found out was the result of our last party’s entertainment. Debbie also brought yummy brownies!
We’ve had a lot of fun, but it’s getting late so we’re off to bed.
