I faxed some paperwork today that cleared the hold that was on my account with my college. Hopefully, my admissions counselor will call on Monday to tell me whether or not my application for re-admittance to the school has been accepted. If it has been, I will have approximately five weeks to get my butt in gear, which seems like the ideal opportunity for Jack Bauer to pop out of my monitor, screaming, "We're running out of time!"

I am nervous, excited, and scared. Although my computer is being reformatted this weekend (its refusal to allow me to play Sims 2 was the last straw), I still have my trusty Lord of the Rings DVDs around to keep me distracted. And over three more seasons of 24. Who needs therapy when repression is so much cheaper?

You know what's a fun way to make your trilogy of Embarrassing Skirts Trivia posts even more humiliating? Accidentally mention your blog to the guy who happens to play a starring role in some of your most mortifying posts ever.

(Links were added by me for clarification.)

Ninja (Jason): hows rory
Me: Really good at piratey things.
Ninja: haha
Ninja: i was telling robin about that yesterday...
Me: Haha, wait, did you read about that on my blog, or is this a major coincidence?
Ninja: on your blog?
Me: Yeah, nevermind.
Me: Crazy. So what did Robin have to say about it?
Ninja: i mean seriously... did you ever know me for reading blogs...
Ninja: in fact... reading in general?
Me: I don't think I've mentioned you or Rory or anything to do with that whole situation until just this week, so I was really weirded out by that.
Me: But you're right. I forgot that most ninjas are illiterate.
Ninja: ...
Me: You asked for that one.
Ninja: (yeah... typical ninja response)
Ninja: OH MY GOODNESS
Ninja: and RACISM!
Ninja: Ive been ranting about racism for a little while now
Me: Wait, are you reading now?
Me: Gosh dang it.
Ninja: yup!
Ninja: crash was a darn good movie though huh?
Me: It really was.
Me: You can stop reading now, though.
Ninja: why?
Me: Umm because you're not talking?

(Okay, really, I just knew that this entry was still listed on the front page.)

Ninja: ...
Ninja: i didnt know you etched me into your blog calendar
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: Holy crap. I need to stop blogging.
Ninja: haha
Me: Right now. Done. Forever.
Ninja: no dont stop im learning so much about you
Me: Like that I'm the biggest loser ever?
Me: Hurrraayyyy...
Ninja: well i didnt think so... then i saw the science fair picture
Me: omg omg omg. SHUT UP.
Me: I'm taking my site off the internet.
Ninja: you know me il probably forget about it in a couple days and go back to not reading your blog haha
Me: You can't seriously forget that picture.
Me: Although I really hope you do.
Ninja: haha
Ninja: so waht have you been up to lately?
Me: Besides dying of embarrassment?
Me: Not much.
Ninja: wait why was samurai champloo adding insult to injury
Me: Just because it sounded lame enough to make people laugh.
Me: Which is kinda the point of the Embarrassing Skirts Trivia series.
Ninja: wait what was lame?
Ninja: IM SO CONFUSED?
Me: You . . . would be.
Me: haha
Ninja: ...
Me: There are some people who find anime lame.
Me: And WoW.
Me: And the like.

And then I died of embarrassment and gave up the internet cold turkey. After writing this post, of course.

Although I get the feeling that The Spiderwick Chronicles is just like every other children's fantasy movie to have been released in the past [very long time], I was a little excited to see a free Spiderwick book in with my Lucky Charms cereal this morning.

Promoting literacy is hot. Reading during breakfast is hot. Free books are hot, especially when you've read the outside cover of the Lucky Charms box five hundred times and can do the maze in your sleep. It begs the question: why don't we include reading material with all cereals?
