conversations with odd people

[fahye]

Dad: Hey, look at this show where Wayne Cooper tells people how to dress right.
Mum: *sarcastic* Oh, but it wouldn't be the same without Carson.
Me: Oh, yes! Monday! Today is my gay guy TV day! Queer Eye and QaF!
Mum: You're not going to be watching that pornography that tries to pass itself off as a sitcom, are you?
Dad: What's this?
Me: Uh...
Mum: *launches into tirade on how Queer As Folk promotes bad homosexual stereotypes such as promiscuity*
Me: Actually, that's just Brian. Because he's a slut.
Mum: So they don't all go around sleeping with flight attendents?
Me: Uh, Emmet is just weak and easily manipulated.
Dad: Flight attendents?
Me: ...
Dad: Hey, what does QANTAS stand for? (it's Queensland And Northern Territory Air Sevices, for those non-Aussies)
Mum: *groans*
Dad: Queers And Nymphomaniacs Training As Stewards
Me: O_O

My parents are such strange beings.

I get to do a ten minute oral on how the Internet has corrupted the English language ^^ d00dy. OMGLIEKWTFLOL!!11 will play a large part, I expect. tammaiya is doing fangirl Japanese (OMG KAWAII I AM NEKO-CHAN!) for her oral.

Ice skating today was awful because the compressors broke down and the ice couldn't be resurfaced and I fell over doing impossible edge exercises and hurt my knee very badly and couldn't do any jumps because the ice was dreadful and it was cold and I was bloody tired. [/whinge]

And I want to say I finished all my homework but it was too hard >.< Already. Am alarmed.

I'd offer to write your paper, Xyn, but I really don't know if I could blab on for four pages. Two, maybe. Not four.

[ETA: I want to write. Something. Something short. Someone give me something. A title. A theme. A character. Anything. I'll scribble it in the hour between my TV-watching. Please? If I get more than one I'll write the next tomorrow. Or put them both in the same story. Where did this mood come from? *bounces*]

*giggles* Why do your parents have odd conversations and NOT MINE???? My parents only talk about trading the share market. How boring.

But the Internet speak oral sounds cool. Everyone's English sounds really fun. We've got Mellsie studying Battle Royale for English, we've got fangirl Japanese and Internet speak. Don't you just love Year 12?

Hey it's all good! I think evolved_lj is going to write it for me. I am such a horrible person, but for some reason I have the greatest friends ^^

Hrm. Languages don't really become corrupted per se; they do not get more or less difficult to speak or to learn, they do not get 'better' or 'worse' etc. But that's an easy speech to write, as speeches go. So...yay?

And ouchies to your skating. :(

Something quick to write? Quick list of words to see if they do anything for you - cobweb, coarse, resin, gum, lavender.

Seth Lerer says nooo! to the corruption of languages. And upon reflection, he is right, and owns my soul.

I happen to agree with your mother on QAF, actually, but that's me >>;

Anyway!

Something to write, huh? OK...write me something involving...*thinks* Write me something involving chickens, a food fight, and two boys aged 12. O_o;
