Arm Writing 8

Man...haven't done one of these in a while. I was just rather inspired today. anyways, here goes.

Prepare for (kill all the) lice children - Tomorrow I go to the grade school, for some sort of all-day-long "festival". And by "festival", I mean "the school makes us do work all day". Apparently there's an epidemic of lice running around the grade school, thanks to some asshole little kids. So I'm bringing in a can of "Raid", and wearing a paper bag with a face drawn on it and eyeholes cut out. When I'm approached by little kids, I will draw my "Raid" and spray them in the eyes, later explained to be "in self-defense". No thanks, kids, but I'm not going to be able to pull off a Micheal Stipe.

Raffi - I really just can't get over about how awesome it would be if all of a sudden Raffi started a hardcore punk band. "RING! RING!! RING!!! BANANARCHY!!!" I enjoy screaming this whenever I can.

Look up in the sky!- During art history today, we were looking at religious art from the middle ages. There was one painting that was part of the story of St. Francis of Assisi, and it showed all of these people looking at Francis. Then, I noticed something. In the sky was a hand. Seriously, a human hand was just floating there, in the sky of that painting.

Arm Writing 4

arm the fourth.

Tessie- The official song of the Boston Red Sox (well, the other official one) by the Dropkick Murphys; a.k.a: best song ever.

Heavy Backpack- My backpack is continually full of crap. Clothes, 3 novels, a textbook, and two folders. It probably weighs close to 20 pounds. Imagine walking that a mile uphill. I didn't have to imagine that. I did it today.

Arm Writing 2

The second in the series.

Bone Marrow- Randomly, some girl in my class said that wasn't bone marrow bad for you, couldn't it do bad things to your body? I laughed inwardly, because it was off-topic and pointless, and that i had read otherwise elsewhere. But I didn't say anything, cause then people would have yelled at me for having an alternate opinion.

Arm Writing 1

So I'm starting a small series where, each day, I'll pick a word from something that happens during the day and write it one my arm. I'll write up several each day. Then, I'll tell you about the origin of said words.
So.

Merimbula- Came from a conversation with Usagi. A place in southeast Australia, right on the coast. I think it's in a bay.
