Musical Fever and the Disappointmen of Stupidity
I don't know why, but my mind has musical fever. Every song I hear finds a way f working itself into the great big musical in my head! I even had a dream that our school play was a musical instead (featuring the same characters) and that all the songs were abut food. RiceFlinga's song, for instance, was about Haloween candy while mine was abaout Chinese food. RF and another girl from my school were both in the dream musical even though they're not in the lay... Maybe it's because watched "Rent"... (singing) Five-hundred twenty-five thousand six-hundred minutes..(stops singing). So, I'm writing a musical made up of songs from a certain band I like... It's just a spare-time, for-fun thing. I should do fun, crazy things more often!
On another note, I am sadly disappointed by my peers. My HONORS JUNIOR ENGLISH CLASS (about half of them) didn't know that Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) wrote Tom Sawyer! Here's a reenactment:
B-sensei: Huck Finn also appears in Tom Sawyer.
A-san: So Mark Twain wrote a book about someone else's characters?
Me: Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer AND Huck Finn.
(A-san turns to B-sensei for reassurance)
B-sensei: She's right.
A-san: Oh! That's really cool!
This angers me. A similar instance happened earlier in Honrs U.S. History (on Tuesday, same day):
D-sensei: What is one reason America finally joined World War I? (I raise my hand) Yes, ToonMasta.
Me: The deciphering and revealing of the Zimmermann Note to us by Great Britain.
D-sensei: Right. L-san, can you explain what the Zimmermann Note is?
L-san: I could if you told me what it was.
(She actually said this. I am not even joking.)
D-sensei: Just take a guess.
L-san Germany was ging to give us Mexico?
D-sensei: No... Does someone else know? (I raise my hand again) ToonMasta?
Me: Germany promised Mexico that if they joined them in the war they'd give them Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico.
D-sensei: Right.
It was aggravating. I mean, I'm not a generally smart person, but the stupidity of my classmates slightly depressed me. Have you ever been so angry to be surrounded by stupid people?
Here's a quote from TMBG's promotion for Flood (it is not word-for-word accurate):
"Nowadays most albums only have ten songs - or less! This angers us. But instead of cursing the darkness, we've decided to do something about it. Our new album Flood has 19 songs, and that makes our album better!"
