...For me to be blogging about (like my day, heh) but I thought this was amusing:
Cuileann did this first, as she usually tends to do. :)
I went to a pretty conservative, small, private Baptist school from kindergarten til fourth grade. This in no way reflects my religious associations, it was just close and they'd have me as a student. I had missed the cutoff for the nearby public school, and my parents didn't want me to wait another year (because I am a genius, duh. :P), so they enrolled me.
Fast forward a few years to grade three. I was a terror for most of my pre high-school career, and by that I mean I was one of the merciless kids who'd give you the cold shoulder and laugh with the popular crowd. And since I went to such a small school, me and my best friend pretty much were the popular crowd at the time. But anyway.
So it's lunchtime and this doofy boy named Nicholas is sitting at our table, drinking a soda. He gets up and leaves for a bit, and myself and my best friend, Sarah, sit and observe in various degrees of horror and amusement as a bee comes flying over to our table to sample the soda, subsequently falling into the open can. Nicholas comes back, and before we could say anything (not that we were going to), he takes a long, deep drink from the soda can. The two of us sitting there, eyes wide and trying not to laugh outright, observe as he gulps, and then merely coughs twice.
To this day, I cannot for the life of me explain it.
Your turn. :)
So, I'm sick. Apparently with "Swine Cold" (thanks, Matt. xD). Anyway, here's a bit from a texting conversation between Maya and I this morning:
Maya - You're gonna dieeeeeee.
Me - Bahaha. Thanks. It's like Oregon Trail: Cassandra has died of Swine Flu.
Maya - Man, we need to make that. It'll be the modern day Oregon Trail.
Me - "The American Media": navigate the tricky waters of pandemic, hysteria, bias, and public opinion; fight against The Lemming Effect; try your hand at surviving The Internet; your goal: make it to the harbor of Sanity, Respectability, and Common Sense in tact!
Now, I know it's super tongue-in-cheek, but come on. So true.
So that's my witty quote for the day.
In other news: I'm totally going to see STAR TREK tonight with May. Well, I mean, it's first-come, first-served and not 100% guaranteed, but we're showing up two hours early, so we'd better get seats, or else.
Movie review forthcoming.
Cuileann did this first, so I'm copying her. Plus, I needed an excuse to clean out my purse. ^_^
I suppose the theory behind this is to get a glimpse into a person's everyday life by rifling through the contents of their purse/man bag/pockets/marsupial pouch/whatever. So, since you can't do that, I did the rifling for you.
(check out that new carpet! awwwwwww, yeah.)Okay, an actual post will be forthcoming. Amusing conversations just keep happening.....
I should be at Rocky Horror right now. But, you know.... don't care now. How I spent my evening was much nicer.
...Though I'm still pretty pissed about the 4-day passes to ComicCon being sold out. Meh.
Anyway, I think in honor of Pi Day, I'm going to watch some Pushing Daisies at some point. :D
8. Felicia Day. You probably know her from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (if you don't, fix that now), but her other credits include appearances on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as writing for, producing, and starring in the web series The Guild. And she's adorable. Look at that.
7. Katee Sackhoff. I first got acquainted with Katee via her role as Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace on Battlestar Galactica (pictured above). Not only is she gorgeous (not convinced? click here), she can also kick your ass. What more can you ask for?
6. Jewel Staite. I love love love love her in Firefly and Serenity. Just... endless amounts of love. She's just so adorably beautiful. I don't understand it.
5. Eliza Dushku. You may know her as Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but if you're not watching Dollhouse (9pm, Fridays on FOX), you need to start. Aside from it being more Joss Whedon, Eliza stars as Echo, the main "doll" or Active that the show follows. Two episodes in, I'm getting the feeling that each week we get to see Eliza tackle a brand new role as her character acquires new memories, skills, and even a unique personality required to complete different "Engagements", which is pretty neat, if you ask me. Plus, she's so pretty. (Catch up on Dollhouse here.)
4. Grace Park. Yet another regular on Battlestar Galactica. (Hey, it's a good show.) I'm not sure what it is about her, but every time I look at her, she just draws me in.
3. Amy Adams. Honestly, need I say more?
2. Tina Fey. I love Tina Fey. She's beautiful, hysterically funny, and a genius. There's seriously very little that is more sexy than an intelligent woman who can write, friends. ;) (And yes, I know. I need to start watching 30 Rock.)
1. Alyson Hannigan. I absolutely adore Alyson Hannigan. Not only is she insanely attractive (click here to see another picture I found), she's quite possibly my favorite actress out there for the moment. I have yet to see her on How I Met Your Mother--it's on my list, though. Trust me. I'll get there--but what I've seen so far of her work on Buffy (currently finishing up Season Six), she just keeps getting progressively more awesome. Love it!

Mwahaha. You know, she looks more like a villain than a superhero, but that's fine by me. Except the name almost sounds like Chingrish. Rather intimidating, though. Just look at all that spandex.
Random facts of the day, brought to you by Maya texting me from Borders whilst reading this book:
- In Alaska, you can't push a live moose from an airplane.
- In Arkansas, it's illegal to pronounce 'Ar-kan-sas'.
- You will break the law in Connecticut when your bicycle reaches speeds in excess of 65 mph.
- You can't tie a giraffe to a lampost in Georgia.
- Kansas condemns the use of ice cream on cherry pie, whale hunting, snowball fights, and screaming at haunted houses.
- In Mississippi, it is illegal to teach others the meaning of polygamy.
It's ridiculous laws like these that make me want to take a road trip across the country with the sole intention of breaking them.
Odd quote of the day: "Do you believe in dinosaurs?"
Odd (but laugh-out-loud awesome) idea of the day: social experiments via Facebook status.
....and, this conversation:
So.... I was going to do the meme that Cuileann recently tagged me in, but I decided that I'm going to hold off on that and post this instead.

Enjoy. It's hilariously wonderful.
One of my guilty pleasures is looking at wedding dresses. They are just so amazingly gorgeous.
That being said, when I get married to my Scotsman, this is the dress I am going to wear.
Yeah. You can be jealous now. ;)
Cassandra: everytime you have "TDK" up as an away, my first thought is "The Dark Knight", not taikwon do
Cassandra: I wonder if that makes me obsessed. ^_^
Andy: Except it's
Andy: TKD, not TDK
Cassandra: oh, snap. that's right
Cassandra: I'm dyslexic now, too >.<
Andy: xD
Andy: ODD
Andy: Obsessive Dyslexic Disorder
Andy: Definition: A disorder in which an obsession is so intense that it causes the sufferrer to become dyslexic
...from laughing til I cry, that is. Oh, Twilight, how you fill me with amusement and create the fodder for perhaps the most epic conversation ever had.
Never again will I be able to use the words "lazy", "imprint", and "venom" without snickering.
I'm planning on seeing the movie this afternoon with some friends, and I think I'm going to enjoy making fun. More on that later.
This picture is beyond all awesome: http://blog.newsarama.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10002/normal_dynamic_duo~0.jpg
With that, I go to sleeps. 'Night, world.
Pain radiating from my head to toes. Well, maybe not so drastic. But definitely my head. And my face. And my shoulders. And my back. x_x
I don't really have a song for today, it's kind of disappointing. I do, however, want to share this amusing link. To be completely honest with you... I kind of want one of those...
There's...nothing else to talk about. Gah, how anti-climactic. The rest of the weekend was great, though. =)
Enjoy your Monday! As much as Mondays can be enjoyed, at any rate.

And so does this picture:
http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/communism_its_a_party.jpg
Enjoy.
Yeah. Keeping a daily blog is tricky when you have no life. I think the high points of today were me driving on the quasi-freeway (twice! eep!) and sitting outside of a grocery store strumming my guitar for 2 hours (my fingers still hurt. hmph).
Bahaha. My friend just sent me the awesomest thing.
Oh, and then there's this...
Which is but a mere cropped version of this beauty.
......See what I mean by having no life? Anyway, I just hope Spring Break goes better then that. Then again, Matt was planning out my days and assigning which episodes of Buffy Season 3 I should watch...
Yes, I'm a dork. And proud of it, too. <3
