Prayer to the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Flying Spaghetti Monster, Blessed be your Noodly Appendage. It would appear, in the course of human events, I have been unfortunately been placed between two idiots, and nonbelievers at that. I have only praise, not blame, for you. You must have been overseeing much more important things that only you are to know about.* As a faithful Pastafarian, and one who aspires to become one of His chosen people, the Pirate, I beseech you; Might you use your powers as the Spaghedeity to move my locker to a more convenient location. i.e. Close to my classes, far away from idiots. Whatever the outcome, I will take it to be part of your divine plan, and celebrate your most holy of holidays with no lesser joy. September 19th, talk like a pirate day. What better way to find the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

RAmen

*What happens in Pastafarian Heaven, stays in Pastafarian Heaven.

8th grade rant.

So pretty much, I have two complaints.
1. My locker number is 572. Elle's is 571. Soraya's is 574. And apparently, I share my locker space with about twenty sycophants to both of them. And strangely enough, those people aren't the type that move when you mumble an apology and ask to get to your locker. Oh, and Elle isn't yet done with groaning and shouting in my ear about how she has to have a locker next to me, because obviously I'm thrilled!
2. My bus is so fricking crowded! That pretty much speaks for itself, but it doesn't communicate how bad it is. Ok, done ranting for now.

Edit: Wow, I was looking at this page, and it turns out I can edit other people's posts because I am the admin. I wonder how that works.

Ideas, Please!

Things have been both usual, and unusual of late.

Sparkle has been too energetic and irritating, Flicker has been spineless and irritating, Comet has been basically invisible, Flare has been getting louder and louder, Firefly has been fine, and I've been restless and paranoid about being the perfect kachina. Basically, things have been perfectly normal.

The Fire Lord told us he fears we've been growing slack in our kachina practices and he wants to see improvement within the week. Never mind that we're the best kachinas out there (as far as we know), he wants better. How can we get better than the best? We're all in perfect shape and look it, too, except Sparkle, who always looks like she could be thinner. Just the other day we took a run around the Palace and through the village. We didn't tire out but once and that was because we were so thirsty. The weather has been unbearably hot lately.

I just don't know what the Fire Lord wants. He's been so irritable lately it doesn't seem like anything will please him! We tried making our style a little different, more like the Julese, but he didn't like that. We tried having new costumes with different colors made, he didn't like that. We tried adding a singer to the music, he didn't like that. We tried adding some new moves, he didn't like that either. He doesn't like anything, yet he insists on "better"! What *is* better? Please, share your ideas!!

Sparkanniversaries

Coal's sparkanniversary is in 12 days. *smiles* We kachinas are trying to think of a way to celebrate it. I don't know if the Fire Lord will do anything special for him. Sometimes the Fire Lord will honor his slaves' sparkanniversaries if they're a favorite of his, or if they've done something noteworthy lately.

The Fire Lord usually celebrates Coal's sparkanniversary for both reasons. Coal is so ridiculously charismatic that everyone likes him, and he's almost always uncovering something secret for the Fire Lord.On the other hand, the Fire Lord has been in a funny mood ever since the execution a week or so ago. No one knows why he had the peasant executed except for a few important slaves. The Fire Lord has been edgy and distracted this week. He beat Flicker yesterday, and Flare the day before. I'm more frightened of him than ever. I don't know what I'll do to set him off.

Back on the lighter note, if you have any suggestions of ways to celebrate Coal's special day on the 14th, let me know!


P.S. Look at this link! The boy with darker skin looks exactly like Coal. Just look until you find him.
