ooer look who's skipping school (and british apparently)

Today is the "big game" at my school. I have stopped caring. All the classes were shortened so we could have a pep assembly during the last half hour. I call bullshit. well, the whole thing is bullshit, it's stupid and trite and overblown and ridiculous and I always hate them so i walked home. And today was pictures and for the Seniors it was just pics for our ASB cards so didn't really matter, but they called us out my grade/name so it was like, 'freshman a-l, go get pictures' and then they were like 'seniors, go get pics' and so I BOOKED out of choir and got my pictures, then I fixed my boots while lounging about till I figured out what time lunch started, then I went home to check for mail. No mail. I was hoping for books. Argh. Oh, ha, there was an announcement about the time before I left: if you have had your pictures done, please return to your classes and do not hang around in the hallways. So I left, yeh.

And in German today, besides totally PWNING the other team, a girl was like, "DUDE. ARE YOU BRITISH." I was like er wha? and she's like ENGLISH YOU SOUND ENGLISH ARE YOU FROM BRITAIN WHERE ARE YOU FROM. I'm like, born and raised here, yeh, and she was like NO WAY WHY DO YOU HAVE AN ACCENT THEN so I said I have a speech impediment (i do) but in retrospect I should've told her I just transferred from Hogwarts. Bah. And well. I do sound British sometimes. cos of the British shows I watch and the amount of Beatles videos I watch, it's hard not to imitate the accent or pick it up. And the speech impediment, it impends, yes, like to do my r correctly I have to set my mouth weirdly and so the vowels get mashed up or the r or the h or I add an h or my voice dips or something.

So yeh. Uh. I was googling 'ringo star without sunglasses' but before I got to the 'without sunglasses' bit it said, Google suggested 'ringo starr thomas and friends' and yeah, I had to see that. He was on Thomas the Tank Engine. OH RINGO.
OH WHAT THE HELL. THEY'RE REMAKING YELLOW SUBMARINE in 2012. WHYY.

I've not watched the whole thing yet but the voices threw me off- it's not their own voices. However, Ringo sounds like Ringo and Paul sounds like Paul but John and George don't really at all. Their cartoon characters, anyway, they still sing the songs. In the old one. But I like it.

Haha, Blake just got back from school & the assembly and he said that the video they usually play, like a school spirity one that the football kids did, they couldn't get it to work for like an hour. I lol'd.

  1. They're remaking Yellow Submarine? You know, I never did see the original. I think the library still has it.

    And I sometimes slip into a British accent. I blame shows like Coronation Street.
