Far over the Misty Mountains cold,

I know I had hordes of stunned classmates who didn't believe I could be bad at math because I wore GLASSES so that meant I was smart at everything.

God just doesn't like it when some random dude is dissing on his kid's birthday. How many more poor mothers does he have to kill?!?!

And this is why I'm glad I live in Florida =D

My desk at work is covered with My Little Ponies and other toys and I feel perfectly grown up.

Looks like someone needs to read Lovely Complex! [en.wikipedia.org]

My single friends run into this problem at Cons all the time. I don't think too many girls go to Con's without some form of backup (friends, boysfriends, etc), I know I never did.

If you really want to gawk at nerds and how we roll, might I suggest the doc "4 days at Dragon*Con" ([video.pba.org])

"YOU GOT A MR. POTATO HEAD!!!"

Thank you for reminding me I have to find my copy of the Star Wars Christmas album!

One of my favorite things when I was growing up was a Br'er Rabbit book+tape set. I thought Br'er Rabbit was the most hilarious dude ever, and his tricks were great. It sucks that the live action parts of this movie overshadow the awesomeness that is all the Br'ers.

You know you have a glut of princesses' when even EW doesn't want a new one. Why can't we get more shows like Sid the Science Kid or Word Girl from places other than PBS? Step up your game Disney, people won't buy it forever.

We have a local ice cream store in my town that has (in addition to old school soda jerks) a guy who hand pulls/makes candy. Watching a PERSON make a candy cane is fricking amazing, and they taste way better in the end.

I don't know, I've always wanted a "white christmas". I always thought we missed out because we get the cold(ish) weather where I live, but not the ability to hit people with snowballs. It's snowed in my town before, but we were never in town for it.

I hate this song so much! Whenever I hear it I just imagine that fancy British Grey Poupon couple are riding around Africa and handing out ridiculous, un-needed things to starving kids and singing it.

Silent Night - Unless it’s Stille Nacht this song is dead to me (also Carol of the Bells is FANTASTIC)

Read ALL THE TAMORA! Seriously she was a god-send for my middle school self.

Baby It's Cold Outside - I know that this was written in a different time period and it's probably not as rapey as it sounds...but it's still the song of a creeper who texts you 50 times a day.

It's just in a different bracket, we'll vote on it later (it will probably win)

Oh hey look it's every guy I went to school with in the 90's! Oh rat tails, how I did not miss you.
