Hooray of the Day!

Haha. I was confused because you said social security and I thought, "Hey, only the US has that!"

It wasn't even a stupid American thinks America is the the only country in the world with a certain common thing. It was more like, stupid American thinks it would have to have a French sounding name to be French.

If you'd said:

I'm benefiting from the filet de sécurité convivial and other nourriture le gouvernement.

I would've gotten you.

McDonald's has the cutest toy animals collection and they even have a fox, but it was gone on Thursday, so I asked them when I could find it and they said they'd check the stock at the closest restaurant. I really want that, this is now our inside joke at school, that I'm the little fox.

Unicorn for you, fox for them.

Great, and now I saw on the poster that you can get any of them starting March 15.

Which is the fox?

The only one I would want is Sharkoo.

On a completely unrelated note, the only animal I'm terrified of is the shark.

Heehee is the fox. I like all of them except for Sanchee and Pammee.

Apparently they're from an animated series or something.

I was looking at the window where they keep them and talking to a classmate and a little girl came to me and said she was going to get the Fox too. I talked to her a little and then she left.

Holy fuck I want all these, why can't we get these??? BooHoo is my favourite then Sharkoo then that fucking squirrel I am SO jealous.

REWIND!

THEY ARE HERE!

I AM GOING FOR HAPPY MEALS!!!

Well shit, the Wiki page says Heehee is a hyena. I don't want it anymore. I'm the FOX!

Actually you know, I can't tell if we have those toys or if it's just the free book token thing. I'll still get a Happy Meal later.

Can I pretend it's a little fox, though? It's so cute. Nobody has to know.

I don't know if I said it here, but the fox joke comes from the fact that we were outside the day before yesterday and I looked inside a car, crossed my arms and said "What a little fox!" My classmate thought I was going crazy and admiring myself in the car's window, but there was a toy fox inside the car! So now I'm the little fox anyway and he promised to make me an Origami fox on Monday.

That's cute! If you look on ebay there is a red fox one and a fennec fox one! I think you're like a fennec fox.

Quite possibly the Frenchiest non-French French I've ever seen. It's funny, they don't even call it anything different. Sécrité Sociale. LOL

I haven't got a Happy Meal since they had the Little Pony toys and that was at the end of 2011. I got Rainbow Dash.

I want that fucking bat.

Also, Irina Hyena is hilarious.

That one critter thing looks like that critter thing from Lilo & Stitch, although I can't remember which was Lilo and which was Stitch.

Lilo was the girl, I think.

I forgot to go to McDonalds!
I was way too excited by the cat toys and treats I bought and got distracted.
Hooray: Cats love their toys!

On to the picture thread!

I'm too lazy! I will when the cats are awake again and I've eaten my pasta bake.

That's pretty hilarious.

Oh I know. I didn't think that was foreign enough to make my point so I Frenched it up for you.

You're welcome France, I made you better.

Where have you been all my life?

Also, I made an awful typo. SécUrité

I'm not nearly as funny as he was when he told the story to the other girls. We laughed like fools for a few minutes.

Yale was amazing. I really really had a great day for the first time in a while. Quiz bowl is so fun and my teammates are awesome people and I had a lot of fun. I'm making friends.
The campus is fucking gorgeous. I am definitely applying.

Hell Yale!
(that's supposed to sound like hell yeah)
Anyways, go for it Gabby!!

Sunday dinner at Rhys's mum's house. Yummm.

Finally got insurance I am now another step closer to being able to drive legally. The downside is that I have to go to the DMV again tomorrow but I'm hoping it's my last trip until I have to renew my license.

Uhg. DMV.

I have to get down there to renew my license in the next week or so.

Oh shit.

Guys.

I just realised I have to renew my license.

With this hair.

That is the next eight years. On my ID.

With this hair.

Fuck.

in eight years I will be forty.

so, no matter what i do with my hair or body or face or whatever between now and forty, at forty my hair on my ID will be fake strawberry red.

Isn't it red already?

We want to seeeee!

Oh yes.

It has been red since the morning after the blond photos.

I haven't posted any pictures because, one, I have been out of it and not wanting to bother with making myself look nice just for a picture for you guys (sorry), and two, James keeps taking my lap top with him to work because he has files on it he needs so I am left with Gabe's during the week day and I do not want to upload pictures onto it/use his webcam.

I will post pictures tomorrow, hopefully.

Okay Sometimes I think red would look ok with my complexion, but red attracts a lot of attention and I'm not that kind of person.

In a way I am actually regretting this fake red.

Everywhere I go people keep talking to me about it, so far most of the people at the nearby stores I frequent have gotten the comments out of their system, but a couple of little kids have gotten excited and embarrassed their parents by staring and jumping up and down and saying things about it, and random teenagers I do not know in public have commented on it being great.

funny.

The teenagers I know well, Gabriel and Trevor's friends, have come over and just hung around and not said a word or even had a slightly phased look on their face when the walked in the door.

Gabriel did get all annoyed at the grocery store with me when the check out lady asked him what he thought, and then pushed the issue.

Finally he said, after extended silence (he tends to be very quiet) 'I don't know. I guess it is annoying."

leaving the store I laughed at him "Oh. You find my hair annoying?"

"No. I don't care about your hair. But what am I supposed to say to the store lady? 'I don't give a shit what my mom's hair looks like' ? that is going to go over well. Whatever, you are my mom, I don't care about your hair."

It was pretty amusing.

Silly supermarket bitch.

Yeah. Being put on the spot like that really embarrassed him. He was fine and being his normal self standing by me until she wouldn't stop asking him to talk about it.

I wonder what she would've said if your hair was green.

heh.

Not even going to go there. Though I did used to wear green lipstick.

Purple would be the most extreme I would be willing to go beyond what I already have. And I am not willing to go more than I have, at least not at the moment.

I always said I'd dye my hair deep dark purple when I moved to England. I can't here because I still live with my parents and they're judgmental even when I paint my nails dark blue, so.. no. I would love something like this, maybe later in life.

You'll get away with it better younger rather than later.

I love those colors. That first one I would totally go for... maybe next year, when I tire of what I have now.

I think you would look grand with either of those. You should go for it. Can you not stand up for yourself to them? or s it too much to deal with right now?

Also, are you planing on moving out anytime soon? Moving out is a very empowering thing.

I can't move out unless I have a job to pay for rent and utilities. I plan on finding something soon, as soon as I get my actual licence and stamp. Then I could work for a translation office and the pay would be enough not to starve and to live somewhere else. I hope to save a lot in the first half year and then move out, probably next year or by the end of next year.

I will be one of those people who never call their parents, I know it.

Amber, I find it really weird that so many people react to your hair and say something to you (or Gabriel) about it. It's red hair! Or is it crazy red?! Whatever that may be.

Is it Ronald McDonald red?

It is rather fake red.

I was going to take a picture today, but then I didn't.

Sorry.

Sheldon is going outside more and more and because it's a nice day he and Henry have been playing in next door's garden, jumping all over the kid's climbing frame and stuff. I was watching them from the upstairs window and I could hear next door and her toddler talking while they watched them. They're such funny cats, they're so different to each other and Henry really mothers Sheldon. It made me smile hearing them laugh at them too. I was worried they'd be annoyed because Henry likes to sit at their patio furniture and sun himself.

Their dog died recently so Henry has kind of commandeered their garden and it's a bit rude! Their dog was a fucking nightmare though, I'm quite glad he's gone, he seemed vicious to me.

Actually it just occurred to me that he was her husband's dog and he hasn't been around either so maybe they've split up. The husband was a dick too. Happy times.

I'll be going to a seminar about document fraud (in regards to admission to universities) in May, if I haven't gotten a new job by then yet. Interesting!

WOOHOO, flight to Rome has been booked! Reasonable plane tickets, and we found a great apartment! SO excited! First real vacation together, just me and him. About time.
