[Killer Queen]

...meaningless nouns, yes, but not nearly as pleasing as incense and peppermints.
My friend--let's just call her TJ--made me talk to one of her friends, Alex, on a 3-way call today. Now, TJ and Alex live in the Deep South, a where I used to live (but thankfully pulled myself out of such a hillbilly hell before too long.)
Just to keep conversation going, I said, (having been informed that Alex was a 'democrat'--but oh, what a sweet lie that turned out to be.) "So, which of the democratic candidates would you rather see win in 2008: Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?" TJ burst out laughing. "OBAMA? What the hell! Who is named Obama?" Ignoring this feat of stupidity, I pressed on, "I think either would make a good president, but I believe Obama is much more likely to win, simply because Ms. Clinton is so heavily scrutinized due to her husband." Alex finally said, "I don't want either of them to win. One's a foreigner and one's just a bitch." Shocked, I was silent for a few moments. Then, in measured tones, I said, "If you believe Hillary Clinton is a bitch, that's fine. Whatever. But to shun somebody because they are foreign--and Barack Obama isn't foreign, anyway. If you were born in another country, you can't run for president. Stupid rule, but it's in place. Point is, who cares?" Alex scoffed. "I don't want a black man running my country! Pure and simple." About to combust, I said, "So, you're saying that you have to be white in order to run America?" "Yep," he said proudly, then added a stupid rebel yell.
People are such idiots!

Subpoena, my ass!

Lol. Got your attention, eh?
I was in a spelling bee today. I came in second. I HATE spelling bees but am always unwillingly sent to compete in them. Eventually it was down to me and Josh. "Josh," Said Mrs. Hasman, "Spell, 'sovereign'." "Sovereign," he said, "S-O-V-E-R-I-G-N, Sovereign." Ding. It was incorrect. thinking I was owning this spelling bee, I spelled it. "Sovereign. S-O-V-E-R-E-I-G-N. Sovereign." No sound. It was correct. w00t. "Now," said Mrs. H, "spell 'subpoena'." I smiled. "You're joking, right?" She smiled back, only with venom. "Nope. Subpoena." Of course, now I know how to spell "subpoena". But at the time? I'd never heard the word in my life! "Ahahaha. Ok. Um. Subpoena, eh? Can I have a definition, please?" She continued to smile and read me the definition. "Alrighty...could you use it in a sentence?" I asked tentatively. She said, "The man who witnessed the car crash was issued a subpoena by the court." "Ahahahha. Ok. Language of origin, just for jollies?" "Latin," she snapped impatiently. "Ok, ah, subpoena. S-A-P-P-I-N-A. Subpoena." I choked. An obvious ding followed. I returned to my seat. Josh came up to the mike. "Subpoena," he said. "S-U-B-P-E-O-N-A. Subpoena." Ding. I returned to the mike. "Spell surveillance," said Mrs. H. Once again thinking I owned this, I said, "Surveillance. S-U-R-V-E-I-L-A-N-C-E." Ding. Damn it.
Anyway, it pretty much bounced back and forth. Josh won and is going to the regionals. But me? I think I got pretty much the best-case scenario. I got runner-up, schoolwide recognition, a $20 Borders gift card and, to sweeten the deal, I *don't* have to go to the damn regionals.

I'm finally done with my exams. Woohoo!
I think I didn't do so hot in Physics, though.
(and it was brought to my attention that my last post seemed pretty jerkassed...I'm sorry about that; I was in a truly horrid mood. I'm not that mean, seriously. But it's true; I don't like to be bothered, ever. lol. I'm actually a fairly nice person most of the time.)
Hello

My name is Zoë, but you can call me Killer Queen.
I'm a young hippie, yes, I understand what you're talking about when you talk politics, don't patronize me, or I can and *will* bust your ass.
Don't bother me. Ever. Seriously. And when I say "bother", I mean purposefully and intentionally annoy.
Oh, yes, and to those of you who are globally conscious:

It is important...
Oh, and I love to sing. And play guitar. And piano.
Love to all,
♥KQ
