My brain's mixed up but I smell yummy

[itsallovernow]

Got home last night at 9:30 p.m. to discover that my stuff from Lush had finally arrived. Now the cat and I smell like Skinny Dip shower gel - all warm white chocolate and cloves. I am supposed to smell this way. The cat is not, but the lure of paper, bath products and a cardboard box combined with my poor judgement in leaving the box on the coffee table unattended for a few moments lead to the inevitable disaster.

I find it terribly altering to my sense of how the world should work that the Canadians have access to something that I do not:) We are Americans, we are superior, shouldn't we have Lush stores in more than one or two cities?! Hee Hee. I can't even write that with a straight face.

Didn't get to write last night because I got home so late - Latin student, French student, Latin student. It's a wonder my brain still functions in English. As it is, my vocabulary gets all tangled up when I teach those languages back to back and I tried to teach the subjunctive in the wrong language. Let me tell you, saying to a kid, "it's a mood not a tense" gets you very little aside from blank stares and obscene mutterings.

However, back to writing - rubberneck continues her scenettes and whitelight1 was attacked by J/A shmoop to her surprise, which along with the good crack that I've been harrassing from crankygrrl kept me happy and satisfied yesterday. Which means I should probably return to Word and get myself back to work.

Aren't you Australian? You're supposed to be rah rahing for Oz:) Come on, this is you're chance to make fun of the whole North American Continent, although we don't have representation from Mexico!

I have a bottle of Mexican liquor in my pantry. Does that count?

Only if I can count the crappy Mexican beer in our vegetable drawer. Boys with restaurant jobs shouldn't be allowed to buy beer if they can't afford decent beer. Just 'cause it's made in Mexico doesn't mean Tecate's drinkable.

*whines* But I don't wanna! Rah rah for Oz, that is. Making fun of North America is always good. *g*

But seriously... eh. We're quite possibly the most apathetically patriotic people in the world. We don't particularly like success, and tend to go against our sporting teams once they do well more than two times in a row (which explains why so many of us hate our cricket team *g*)... although this rule tends to go out the window if we're going against either England or the US. Don't ask me to explain any of it, because I have no idea why it's so.

We're strange. *g*
