Don't forget to be awesome.

chibirhmMan, you know what sucks? Friday nights. I'm sitting at home, chilling, and there's no one online to chill with me. My parents went out to dinner (I was welcome to come, but I have a long-held phobia of public eateries, it's a long story) and my sister and her boyfriend went out to dinner somewhere else (wasn't invited to that one), so it's just me and the pup on the couch. Which I enjoy, don't get me wrong, but the pup is not much in the way of conversation. Her main method of communication is pawing at my laptop when I start using my hands on that instead of their true purpose, ie: scratching her. She is feeling very needy and extra adorable tonight.
Le sigh. This is how I will end up with carpal tunnel.
Anyway, this is a general plea for someone to amuse me while I color in the thing I drew for my holiday cards. This is also a chance to wish a very happy Hannukah to my fellow Jews. And for everyone, I would like to bequeath unto you the great gift my sister bequeathed unto me, which was bequeathed unto us by the glorious Tube of Yous.
I continue to believe that Jews have more fun being Jewish than any other religion has being themselves. Or at least, we seem to record it and put it on Youtube more effectively.
EDIT: So I was talking to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
puckling about my numerous awesome/terrible Merlin fanvid ideas, one of which is how clearly there needs to be a Merlin/Arthur fanvid to Hello by Lionel Richie. And she was the second person, when I told this idea to, who not only didn't know the song, but had never seen the music video. Guys, this is distressing. This music video is like Total Eclipse of the Heart levels of hilarious eighties awfulness. So I am going to educate you. WATCH THIS:
SYNOPSIS: Lionel Richie is a creepy creepy creepy theater teacher lusting after a blind student, who he follows around school and then to her house just outside her bedroom wailing at her about how much he's dreamed about kissing her lips and wondering if she's looking for him. (GET IT? BECAUSE SHE'S BLIND?!!?) An then there's this ~commotion~ and everyone's like "OH YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO THE ART CLASSROOM AND SEE THIS" so he goes and she's created this really awful clay bust of him that looks like it's just waiting to become a chia pet and she's all "oh, I couldn't wait for you to see! This is how I've always pictured you!" and it kinda looks like him in a really weird way which is supposed to be meaningful because, you know, she's blind, and then they clearly have been ~looking for each other~.
IT IS EXACTLY AS AWFUL AS IT SOUNDS. Only ten times more hilarious to watch because it's all emotional and eighties and everyone has curly mullets.

Date: 2010-12-04 04:52 am (UTC)My Friday nights have been lame for years. I am surprisingly OK with this. It's much more relaxing this way, at any rate. BUT MERLIN FINALE *WOE* will have the house to myslef....which may be good as my mom won't have to hear me flail/or yell FAIL depending on how things go...

Date: 2010-12-04 05:03 am (UTC)It is sad, but I know more about Jewish tradition from living with two orthodox Jews in an off-campus apartment in college, than I do about my own "religion" which I think is Protestant of some kind but....don't really care. Anyway, when I lived with the girls I was their Shabbos-goy, meaning they used to drop hints if the forgot to leave a light on (which they would preplan before Friday night). As in "wow, it's dark in here...." although if they had been bitchy that week I may or may not have just agreed and pulled out a flashlight instead. Meeeyow. I have so many stories from that time...anyway. I'm rambling. Sorry.
VIDDING OMG. And MERLIN TOMRROW (excited/nervous) that I won't get to watch until later (*woe*) so someone needs to send me the verdict so that I'm not at work wondering what became of it allllll.....IDK why i fret so much, though...hmm
