ravelry is not dorky

Heather (aka BFF) came over to help me with my Brave New World Essay and for that I owe her. My first shirt.woot (http://shirt.woot.com/) came in the mail, On the Prowl, which is sooo epic and Heather was in awe. Woot! Anyway, she helped me write the essay and now all I have to do is "read" Emma and do the reader's response for it and one for Slaughterhouse-5. By "reading" Emma, I mean, there's this cool website called shmoop.com that's like sparknotes with a sense of humor and a lot more info. And after that, I have to write an analysis on Emma if I feel like it but I'm sure I could do that in my aide class if needed. I have a friend who's already done reader's response to SH-5 so I borrowed those and will glean info from that.
Then Heather hung around a while and then I got on the computer and got on ravelry, where she proceeded to laugh at me for being on a yarn/knitting/crocheting/craft site. This is a girl who writes hardcore anime/manga fanfiction and was the girl who taught me how to crochet in the first place!? Admittedly-she taught me just the single stitch and by the next week I was making amigurumi and double-crocheted hats with ear flaps. She's super jealous of my skills yo. Anyway, she called me a dork for being on rav., and then for doing this Book RAK thing and then she left because she has to go read Pride and Prejudice. Haha, good luck with that.
On Tuesday, we went to THE REPTILE MAN! Some guy from a reptile zoo near Seattle came and did, like, an hour show at the elementary school. 'show' means he held up snakes and lizards and told us about them. At one point he mentioned something about reptiles walking on two legs and I was all, Dick Cheney? I saw this shirt one time, it said, Dick Cheney Puts the Vice in Vice President. Lols.
Oh, back to Emma and how ridiculous she is.
I'm sick of not getting Tv Guide and I have to look it up on the net.

  1. A.J. howdy from Shmoop! Glad to hear that you found us helpful and fun to read. If we're missing any books that you'll need to read later in the semester, please drop us a line in our feedback forum. If you haven't checked out our (still nascent) Writing Lab, give that a look. It walks through the steps of writing a paper about Emma or any other book that we cover. We won't tell you *what* to write, but we'll help you organize your thoughts into a quality paper.

    Thanks for the shout out!
