Hmm. So today in school was pretty fun. …ok so it rocked. It was a dress down day so I wore jeans and an old World Cup T-Shirt (The France one). As soon as I got to advisory (mine is in the library) Miss Paterson showed me the Opal Deception (4th Artemis Fowl book) that had just come in. She said since I was the first to ask for it I could read it first. Since I actually got to school early for once I had time before morning advisory and haunted down Charlotte and Natalia to show them (Katie was sick today). They were both really envious and couldn’t believe I had already gotten it. Before B period I ran into Lauren and showed it to her and she freaked out too. Anyways during morning advisory Cameron had an email he had printed out about how many students from different schools it takes to screw in a light bulb. The email is hilarious. I got 20 cents from a friend and photocopied it. Both of us showed a bunch of friends and already a ton of the 8th grade have seen it. Here’s the email:
HOW MANY STUDENTS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB AT:
EPISCOPAL: Six – one varsity athlete to change it and five of his friends to help him with his geometry homework
BCC: Three – one to screw it in and two to sculpt the old one into a bong
SIDWELL: Twenty – a committee composed of students from every possible ethnic group to screw it in unison
WOODBERRY: Twelve – six to hike to the nearest village to buy a new one, one to screw it in, and five to plow the fields and feed the oxen while the other seven are occupied
HOLTON: Four – one to find out how many calories the light bulb has, one to make sure all the calories will be burned by screwing it in, one to screw it in, and one to run fifteen miles just in case.
BULLIS: They’re still working on it
LANDON: 202 – One to steal a bulb from someone else, one to start rumors about who the thief was, and two hundred to have an unsupervised party
ST. STEPHENS/ST. AGNES: 301 – One to screw it in and three hundred to be really lame
GEORGETOWN PREP: Two – one to screw it in and one to buy an inflatable sheep so they can party all night long
POTOMAC: One – but he tries to do it like the guys at St. Albans
WHITMAN: Seven – one to screw it in and six to talk about how chill it is
GEORGETOWN DAY: Five – One to screw it in, one to unscrew it, and three to try to smoke it
VISITATION: Four – one to change it and three to pick out the perfect Patagonia outfit for the occasion
GONZAGA: Ten – a female teacher to change it, eight students to look up her skirt while she does it, and a priest so they can go confess there the next Sunday
ST. ALBANS: Two – One to screw it in perfectly, and another to manage to do a better job
NCS: They don’t care about the light bulb; they’re just following the guys from St. Albans
MARET (female): See NCS
MARET (male): Five – one to change the light bulb while the other four get drunk in his basement and birch about Maret girls and St. Albans girls
THOMAS JEFFERSON: Three hundred and one – one to change the light bulb and the other three hundred to go to UVA
MADEIRA: 354 – One to change the light bulb to prove she can do it better that any guy, one to say her light bulb is more expensive, a committee to design a t-shirt commemorating the event and the rest just because need something to screw
STONE RIDGE: 1,000 – 50 to have a bake sale to raise money, 300 to vote on who should change the bulb. One to do the job. 200 to analyze and say how it could be changed next time. 5 to get the scoop on all the SR updates. 100 to design Stone Ridge Light Bulb day ribbons and dominate the radio during the event. 100 to announce it at and assembly to pump up the spirit, 20 to rebel and have a light bulb smashing party 30 to make a save the light bulb group. And then the rest to participate in accessorize your kilt w/ light bulb stuff day.
Wew. That was a lot of typing. Sadly you’d half to live in our area and go to a private school here to really get the email. Oh well. It still is funny. But our school’s one sucks (the SSSAS one). One to screw it in and three hundred to be really lame? How boring. Kelly came up with a better one. One lacrosse player to screw it in and the rest of the school to worship her. The author person was most likely from St. Albans because they’re the only ones who aren’t made fun of.
Anyways back to my day. Um… yea stuff happened… and I got Tivo! Yay!
Too bad no one actually visits my site to read this… *shrugs*.
