When I was in eighth grade, I had one of those madcap Socratic Literature teachers that everyone has at least once in their life. He gave us many interesting assignments, many of which had nothing or little at all to do with the literature in question. One such project involved setting poetry to song and/or lyric manipulation.

When I was in eighth grade, the Lord of the Rings phenomenon was in full swing as LotR:TTT came out in theaters.

When I was in eighth grade, I was obsessed with Oldies music.

This series of events culminated in a pastiche of sixties and seventies pop with lyrics manipulated to narrate LotR:FotR which was written by wyvernrabbit and myself and lauded in our eighth grade English class with thunderous applause.)

Anyway, I found the original script in a drawer (the same drawer which contained my old Sailor Moon CDs) and still find it funny. Please feel free to play name that tune. Correct guesses may be rewarded/punished with soundbites.

Things have happened. Lots of things. I haven't been on the Internet enough in the past 11 days. I'll do the quick overview, so that I can shut up that little nagging voice that says, "update LJ~~Update LJ~~~UPDATE LJ~~~~~!"

Friday: Party. Hotel. Sleeping in bathtubs. Setting off alarms. Dangerous games of spit. Scaring complete strangers who are unfortunate enough to ride elevators.
Saturday: Recovery.
Sunday: Mall for birthday like things. Manga. Clothes. Anime. Good times.
Monday: Bithday. iPod (FINALLY). On The Record (YEAGH DISNEY OBSESSION).
Tuesday/Wednesday: Getting acquainted with Yukio *pets precious*. Manic searches for title/artist/album names. Studying liekwoah.
Thursday: Three tests of ultimate DOOM.
Friday: Trip to Smithsonian. Saw Saw. Had Major Freakout with a capital MF. That movie embodies all things that reduce me to a gibbering mess of nerves, short of Midterms and Finals. Heck, maybe I missed that part. No, seriously, I have enough paranoia issues without having the completely ridiculous fear that some psychopathic murderer in a creeptastic mask is lurking in shadowy corners of my home. I may never feel wholly comfortable in a bathroom ever again.
Saturday: Boardwalk. Much fun with the DDR and the beating of the gators and what have you. Miss Congeniality 2. V. with the funny, but not much else.
Sunday: Family thing. Felt uncomfortable. Not wholly unpleasant though.
Monday: Nagh school. Ew running. Must get used to running again. Ew. Ew. Ew.

Somewhere in the process of this, I also updated my layout. I am so pleased with myself it is surely unhealthy. The picture came with Daisuke sitting looking like cute on a stick and then I got my grubby hands on it and photoshopped in my own frames and pictures which are supposed to depict the Major Outlets Of My Obsession-Minded Psyche (outside of school, of course). Left to right they are:

Shoebox Project, Bleach, Psyche (of the myth of Psyche and Eros, a la my mythology fixation and a nod to the symbolism of the pic itself ^^;), Lord of the Rings, New York, New York, and The Beatles. If anyone wants/needs to know what that heart thinger between frames actually says, I can assure you that it is dirty and I love Sirius. Lookit at the title of Daisuke's book! HEE. (...no I'm not trying to distract you at all...)

Frames, New York, and Psyche came from Google Image Search, Daisuke and Ichigo from Anime Visions, Paul pic from Let it Beatle (I think?), Lord of the Rings pic came from a screen cap site that I lost (*cries bitter tears*), and Shoebox things came from Shoebox.

I must figure out new wordy thingers, but as I have been on strained terms with the computer for the ensuing week after the update, I've had no time to do the necessary agonizing over it. Woe. If anyone knows any lyrics pertaining to framing someone, I'd appreciate a point in their direction.
