Tiny Flags (My CNN Weekend Round-up)

[radiumgirl]

 So, as much as I didn't want to get sucked into the royal wedding...I kinda did. I mean, I didn't get up at the ass-crack of dawn to watch it, but the highlights were on CNN at lunch and now...now...dammit. 

Owen is totally making fun of me, calling me up and putting on a really bad English accent, "Hello! I suppose you'd like to marry a prince now, eh?"

"Dude, 'Eh' is a Canadian expression. Get your dialects straight."

"Oh poppet, you fancy yourself a princess?"

 

"My daddy called me his princess all the time." 

 

Whatever. I justify it with the argument that we don't really have anything that compares. I mean, no one cares when the presidents' kids get married. One of the Bush twins got married a few years ago and it was like, a 30-second blurb on the news.  Chelsea Clinton got married and the only thought I had was, "To a guy? Really?  I thought I read somewhere that she likes girls?"

 

Yeah. So. I liked Kate's dress. That girl needs to eat a sandwich (or three) though, seriously. I keep calling her "Princess Skeletor" in my head because I'm an awful person. And she needs to eat a sandwich. Several sandwiches, in fact. 

 

Camilla looked good. There. I said it. I really liked her everything though. The coat. The hat. The hair. Gold star, lady. 

 

Posh Spice and David Beckham are scary looking. My landlord and I had tea together tonight and she said that she thinks they're androids. I think they are too. I couldn't even look at pictures and be like, "David Beckham is so hot" because all I was thinking is "David Beckham is too hot."

 

Also? I really liked the Spice Girls when I was in 4th grade. I cried when they broke up. CRIED. I was also eleven. My dad laughed at me. 

 

In conclusion, Harry is cute and I want to go get drunk with him. He's also older than me, which surprised me, because I thought I was older and felt like a pedo every time I thought, "You. Me. Royal pub crawl."

 

And then I watched The King's Speech and was all inspired and shit. Every time I watch historical dramas, I have to remember that (delightfully paraphrased) quote from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "Every age feels unheroic to those who are living in it."

 

In conclusion, Happy birthday, Sammich Winchester. I was going to write you a story, but I got distracted by CNN and "Ding Dong, Osama's Dead" and trying to figure out whether I should pull out my tiny little American flag and start USA chanting or wring my hands and try to figure out if my joy makes me a barbarian.

Your work has so many parties! That's awesome. Your "hat" sounds like fun.

That Idlewild wedding is coming up. I'm going shopping with Chrissy on Thursday after work (and hitting up The Library for Happy Hour) for a dress. I saw one in H & M that I really liked. It was yellow lace with a black satin bow. That was like, a month ago though, so I hope they still have it.

The Sammy-fic is coming along sooooo slowly. I was given real work to do, which is great, actually, but still...

...it'll get posted eventually. Hopefully within the next day or so. :/

Yes! I read about the dress in one of your journal entries. It sounds cute. ^___^ *Smishes you*

We really do have a whole bunch of parties. Half are arranged by us, the mere employed-folk, and then the other half are legit work 'events' that should really have a purpose beyond drunkeness, but barely so. It's awesome just to get together. Our 'Linens' department is known as the best in the store for being friends and getting on well. It's a good thing that we go out 'n' drink 'til we drop. It means we are a cohesive team! *g*

I hope you send me a picture of the wedding, it sounds like it's going to be a fun day.

*\o/* Take your time with it, as long as it happens! I've been loving Sam a lot more recently. It's his puppy-dog face, and just... his adorableness. And the fact he's big. And snuggly. Seriously, he melts me.
