Yesterday, my family and I ate out, because they reasoned, since today was Father's Day, all restaurants would be filled and we won't get any seats, but if we ate out yesterday, no one would be celebrating Father's Day just yet, and we would have our seats.

ME: *dumbfounded at parents' reasoning*
PARENTS: We are so CLEVAH!
ME: But it isn't Father's Day yet.
PARENTS: But we have SEATS.

*rolls eyes* Oh well, at least we were able to get out, and I managed to find a bookstore and I got myself NEVERWHERE YAY! Have been looking for months for that darned book! (Also bought The Bartimaeus Trilogy on a whim--has anyone read it?)

Then today, on Father's Day, we ate out again. Will no longer point out to parents the irony of yesterday, as I have my books! *points to books*

Second item that is squee-worthy: I've been recced! *squees* Am so pleased someone thinks my work is good enough to rec. Hee. :P I'm shallow, I know, but that was enough to lift my spirits yesterday, somehow. :D (But I still want to go to Australia!)

Well, the third isn't so much squee-worthy as it is smug-smirk-worthy. You know the Mary Sue Meme going round? Where you put in your real name in FF.Net and see what Mary Sues have been named after you?

I haven't got a Mary Sue.

Well, I think it's because of a few reasons. For one, my name is French in origin, and not very common, that is to say, giggling 13-year-olds wouldn't likely think of it as a possible name when they want a nice new American exchange student entering Hogwarts in sixth year. Secondly, my name's spelling has been altered slightly, so it's even more obscure than it was originally. (For the normal spelling of my name, I found one fic. In Portuguese, so it doesn't count. Hee. :P)

On an LJ note, am thinking of changing icons. Or even the whole lay-out. *thinks*

Hi Slumber! Nothing wrong with enjoying recoignition. It's human nature...it doesn't make you an attention whore. Oh, I wanted to say that I was thinking the same thing in regards to the belly button question...lol. Draco strikes me as an innie, and Harry seems like an 'outie' guy to me.

Hee. :P YAY my need for attention is normal! *hugs*

Does being an innie or an outie have anything to do with anything, though? (I mean, does it have implications like whether you're a lefty or a righty, or what your palm says about you, et cetera?)

Not that I'm aware of. I'm sure someone has a theory on it somewhere though. I just thought an innie would look good on Draco...lol. Also, he tries to act all together and what not...an innie seems more 'neat' for lack of a better word. And with Harry, an outie seems kind of sweet and cute, like him...lol. totally random reasons of course, but there you have it.

Makes sense. :P Aesthetically and otherwise... It's so easy putting meanings on things these days.
