I <3 Halloween

Favorite types of candy:
1. Anything gummy
2. Anything chocolate
3. Tootsie Pops
4. Those little miniature lollipops...I don't remember what they're called...
5. Lifesavers

Now, because I hate it when I don't know absolutely everything there is to know, what is everyone going as for Halloween?
Me: the Queen of Hearts. Yesterday I printed out a picture of the Queen of Hearts card on the computer, then glued it onto a piece of white cardboard and stuck it all in one of those see-through pocket thingies. Four holes in all of the corners, string ribbon through them, and VOILA! I have myself 1/4 of my costume.
I then made a scepter out of this bamboo stick and a heart I cut from cardboard. The rest of my costume was already made--I'm wearing a long black skirt, red long-sleeved shirt, golden shoes, fake curly hair stuff over a ballet bun, and this silver heart crown.

Whew.
It would probably make more sense if I had a picture to post of it. But I don't.
Ah well.

:D

Y HALLO THEIR

You know what I hate?
Chatspeak.
Okay, so not exactly. I don't hate it when I'm using it in a chat or an email. Because yes, I'm selfish and arrogant and weird. ^^
But it just DRIVES ME UP THE WALL when I see someone using it on their website or blog. If you're an average typist (that means you type about 20-40 words per minute), it should only take you about three seconds more to type "you" instead of "u."
I did some research on chatspeak, just for fun, and came up with this:
"SMS {whoa...cool coincidence!}, also known as chatspeak, is the English language slang used in mobile phone SMS, which stands for Short Messaging Service {not Silly Mistake Syndrome}."
There's a whole WEBSITE devoted to translating regular English into chatspeak and vice versa! (Link at the end of this entry)
I entered a random paragraph just out of curiosity.
Paragraph in normal English= "The quick brown fox jumped over the tall white fence. The short little girl trembled with fear as she faced the tall. The dumb blonde looked stupidly at the people (all of whom were laughing at her)."
Paragraph in chatspeak= "d qix brown fox jumped Ovr d taL white fence. d sht ltl 3:o) trembled w fear az she faced d taL 3:o). d dumb blonde lookd LUGlE @ d ppl (aL of huM wer :-d @ her)."

Dumb Blonde Jokes

LOL...this website has a lot of dumb blonde jokes...
http://www.coolblondejokes.com/
Here's my favorite:
This blonde decides one day that she is sick and tired of all
these blonde jokes and how all blondes are perceived as stupid,
so she decides to show her husband that blondes really are
smart. While her husband is off at work, she decides that she is
going to paint a couple of rooms in the house.

The next day, right after her husband leaves for work, she gets
down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home at 5:30 and
smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living
room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat.
He notices that she is wearing a ski jacket and a fur coat at
the same time.

He goes over and asks her if she is OK. She replies, "Yes." He asks
what she is doing. She replies that she wanted to prove to him
that not all blonde women are dumb and she wanted to do it by
painting the house. He then asks her why she has a ski jacket
over her fur coat. She replies that she was reading the
directions on the paint can and they said....
FOR BEST RESULTS, PUT ON TWO COATS!!!!!

Ahahahahaha...o_0
