Because I've got an english thing due tomorrow, of course the internet's going on and off. Grr.

I figure I get the first page done, I can go read a fanfic. Gotta reward myself for getting through this (utterly unfair) assignment.

Oh, I forgot to mention that my english teacher was trying to appear smart today by talking about "Frodian" influences and analysis in Death of a Salesman. Yeah. She pronounced Freud correctly, but then it was "Frodian." And then she couldn't even explain why some critics saw the pen that Biff steals as a phallic symbol. (LOL, though, at somebody asking what 'phallic' meant.)

Phallis. Tee-he. That remminds me of a funny story.

One time, me and a bunch of other people where playing dictionairy. A game in which one person picks a word from a dictionairy, and tells it to everyone without telling them the definition. THen everyone writes thier own def. and, they get read to everyone. Then people pick which one they think is the right one, and you get points if you pick the right one, ANd you get points if someone picks your fake one. So, when it was my turn to pick a word, I picked the common name of a fungus called "stink-horn". Family Phallaceae. So of course, no one had any idea what the real one was, because there were a ton of doctors playing, so everyone thought they were just being vulgar. Hehe. Me and my science.

Oh, and there's a warning about stink horns that I think you'd enjoy.

Never eat, or even pick stinkhorns in New Guinea, where the Iban people (former headhunters) call it ghost penis fungus. It's the member of a warrior who was decapitated in battle, and the twice-mutilated fighter will rise from the ground and pursue you until he cuts off your head with his headhunting sword!

Sounds like an interesting game. Yay science.

I'll have to remember stinkhorn.

How very interesting. You have definitely just made my procrastination of this paper a little more enjoyable.
