There's a hotel RIGHT by my school. I'm forgetting one, but here's my elaborate one:
Gregor anwhistle may have come from Gregor Mendel, the guy who discovered genetics using peas. A parent of Gregor on the lsua family tree is D, D is also the first initial of another science figure, Dmitri Mendeleev, whose last name is just 3 letters different than gregor's. Dmitri formed the periodic table, strange huh?

A few days ago I saw a magnifying glass with a tag that said "Eye power" and had a picture of an eye that looked almost identical to the VFD eye.

I saw a lot of crows flying around during a thunderstorm the other night, and it was very superlative. Also, today I took the Texas Music Teachers' Association Music Theory Test, and my room monitor was Oriental with an accent, and she ended lots of her sentences with "please" i.e., "We need one more student fo the bonus question, please" or "Turn in your tests any time, please." I couldn't see her left ankle, though.  |

Interesting. Today I saw a commercial with a democrat comparing gun ownership to stake burnings. Also, yesterday a girl on the band bus said she was using stilleto heels for her costume.

What does his house look like, and where is it? It a big old yellowish brownish house. (If memory serves right.) It's a museum now, it has all the old furniture and stuff still in it. I would tell you where it was, but i don't want everyone knowing what town i live in. I'll tell you if you PM me though. |

Sunny randomly said "poko" in tbb and that's the form of currency in my pikmin 2 game. Also, a song I know of refers to hemorrhage of the hands. Could this have happened to Fernald?

When my school did Halloween dress-up last Friday, I saw a boy wearing a curly white wig, just like the one that Olaf's bald henchman wore in TMM and THH. However, he didn't have a surgical mask, overalls, or pots and pans. I think he was wearing a blue jacket, and I have no idea what he was supposed to be. But he looked Flacutono-esque in the wig.

Oh that reminds me:
On halloween a girl came trick or treating dressed as a doctor with nothing but red scrubs and a surgical mask to indicate what she was. Very HHesque.

The student teacher in my English class was holding a book by George Orwell.
I swear that class is one big VFD operation.
We need to write an essay about something that has influenced us.Which should I write it on:
a) ASOUE
b) The Magnetic Fields*
c) A Clockwork Orange
*I'm only allowed to use one song, however.

I also saw a tall teenage boy dressed in a similar costume, before I went out to trick-or-treat. And there seem to be a lot of crows around here; recently I was down at the end of my street and they all flew above me in a huge swarm, cawing like mad. It was creepy. |

*I'm only allowed to use one song, however. <gasp> How can you narrow it down to one song?? I saw an anthropology book in my history class written by Gregor someone. Also I just saw at 285 year old courthouse in Maryland(i think) is burning down. A courthouse burning down?? "Dying." |

<gasp> How can you narrow it down to one song?? I can't of course. The first MF song I ever heard was "Le Tourbillion", which I didn't really like. The second was "I don't beleive you", and I'll probably do that one if I do them. Today we had a presentation about being a Volunteer. We also had a presentation about a man losing his leg in a sawmill (MM, anyone?). In the last presentation, there was an eye drawn on the board. |

That's pretty freaky.
In my lit class I'm now reading the Edgar Allan Poe story "The Fall of the House of Usher". It's very creepy and confusing, but cool. Toward the end, I found the phrase "her violent and now final death-throes." Wonder if the original Mr. Poe was a VFDer...
