I'm remembering why I liked Homecoming...

[candyland]

It's Homecoming Week, and we've been doing a different spirit day each day. Monday was Hawaiian Day (I wore a couple of cheap plastic leis around--and I gave them ten seconds at the beginning of class to get the "lei-ed" jokes out of their systems), then yesterday was Twin Day and today was Movie Star Day. And I was saddened when I heard a girl say that she was Ginger Rogers and several people asked who Ginger Rogers was ;o;

Anyway, tomorrow is Nerd Day! So I'm going as myself, yay! Actually, I'm wearing capri pants with calf-high socks (that may or may not match) and sneakers...and then a white button-up shirt with one tail untucked. I found my old Marvin the Martian tie, so I figured I'll toss that on for good measure, and then a couple of pens in the shirt-pocket. And I'm going to wear my glasses instead of my contacts and put my hair in either pigtails or braids--haven't decided yet.

I promised a couple of my students that I would go all out for Nerd Day ^_~ Can you tell?

Tomorrow is going to be a really relaxed day. Two early outs in a row (today's was for staff development, and tomorrow is for a Homecoming festivity), so today we ran class periods 1-5 and tomorrow we run 6-8 and 5 (fifth hour is the lunch period). The English class I co-teach is first period and my choir class is second period. So tomorrow I am going to teach lessons and hang out...and then go do middle school study hall. Pretty darn sweet~!!

And I just got a phone call from my mother, asking if I'd like to meet her and Dad in Des Moines on Saturday for shopping and hanging out and fun stuff. I moved out almost two months ago, and it feels like eons since I last saw my parents in person. But yes, Saturday I will go hang with Mom and Dad, and it will be awesome. And Mom did allude to the fact that she thought I could probably use some new clothes... 8D

Regarding the Nancy Drew marathon: today was game five, The Final Scene. Tomorrow is Secret of the Scarlet Hand, which is one of my favorites because it's all about the Mayans, and I'm a big nerd for ancient history like that ~♥ Friday is Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake (one of the best games in the series), and then Saturday I'll squeeze The Haunted Carousel in...probably in the evening after I get home. That's game eight, which means I'm halfway through the marathon! \o/

There'll be a new fic up tomorrow ^_^

...I make a really cute nerd *laugh* But seriously--I looked in the mirror this morning and went "Wow...I look cute!" Like the horrendously vain creature I am, right? *preens*

I have never played Nancy Drew. Hell, I didn't even know what it was, until I clicked at your link.
And now I'm sad, because... WHY AREN'T THERE ANY NANCY DREW-GAMES IN DENMARK? Goood, they look exciting :D
Is it about a detective or woot?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Aww... ;o; I don't know why they don't have them in Denmark. But they are AWESOME games!

Nancy Drew is a detective. She first appeared back in the 1930s in a book series by an author name Carolyn Keene. Nancy has been in her late teens for over seventy-five years! There have been a lot of reincarnations and new book series about her and her adventures, reinventing her as the times change. They're great books, though--I read a bunch of them when I was younger.

Your icon...it hypnotizes me...

* hypnotizes you *
Briiing meee fiiics ... :P

(I should never have found out about that Nancy Drew. Now I'm getting addicted)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

*eyes go all swirly* What kind of fics? ^^

The games are (mostly) awesome. I actually just got an email that says the newest game just shipped out, and therefore should hopefully be in my hands very, very soon \o/

EVERYTHING !!!
You write them so good :D

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THE FROG-CAT!! :D

Thank you so much! I'm currently trying to decide what to post today... 8D

[bishonen-girl.livejournal.com]

go with the pigtails!!!! Wish I could see what you look like......TAKE A PIC! ^^

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I did wear pigtails ^^;;

[colorful-blade.livejournal.com]

personally I'd rather you go in pigtails since I have a grudge against braids, but then again, I have no idea who you are...
please please PLEASE update Song of the Wind!! I'm still dying for the next chapter ^__^, and then what's the third story going to be called? Something about Hikaru, right?

I'm almost done with my first fic from fanfic100!!~I must be insane.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I went with the pigtails ^^;; Keep having to re-pin my bangs back, but I feel like I make a cute nerd 8D

Didn't I just update that at the beginning of the month? XD I'm working on it, slowly but surely. I swear I am. I want to update it again soon--but if absolutely nothing else, it'll be updated again by Christmas. And the third part of the Arc will be called "Cry of the Flame." It's already in the planning stages, and I think it's going to be fairly dark.

GO YOU GO!! :D :D :D
