Hope Rides Alone

Last week I had a strange dream that Claude came back as the First (you know, a person connected with you haunting you?) but he had golden horns and a gold pocket watch. It was WEIRD, because that’s one of my tamer dreams.

Ages ago we were working on ‘gustar’ in Spanish and my teacher asked me for a sentence I provided:

Sylar likes brains.

Which we turned into :

Le gustan cerebros a Sylar.

Right after the finale, someone on my bus admitted she’d watched the finale last night (and been wicked confused.) But then she said:

“I can’t believe you think Sylar is hot.”

I was perplexed. “Are you sure you know who Sylar is?”

“The guy with the eyebrows and the nose?”

My face fell. ZQ is HOT, you silly hippie! I don’t know her anymore!

This from the 13^th of December, about my Math Teacher after someone put a funky hat on his head:

“He looks like the Pope!”

“Blasphemy!” I cheerily called out, ecstatic

My teachers said. “I AM the Pope!”

I said: “Look, it’s snowing!”

Another student said: “I love how ADD we are.”

Then my teacher started imitating the Count from Sesame Street. Someone said he sounded like a Nazi, so my teachers said, amused: “I look like the Pope and sound like a Nazi.”

(No offense meant to anyone, btw, just wanted to remember this stuff. Nazis aren’t cool.)

On with the plea for assistance:

Does anyone know what's appropriate to give a Muslim on Eid al-Fitr? My mom called me because she wants to bake something for her friend at work and doesn't want to offend anyone. I have no idea what Eid al-Fitr is, but I think it has something to do with sheep ...

Also, I think I'm getting my annual Christmas Cold/Fever/Plague. Every SINGLE YEAR I get ill around the holidays and it sucks. Last year, between sleeping on the floor, being unable to breathe through my nose, hearing the wind whistle around the house, and listening to half my family sore so loud the house was shaking, I hardly slept all night.
