"The Kind of Knot Your Heart Gets In..."

( Five Verse Vespers Piece )

:D

"Oh, My Island Girl, Remember Me..."

The keywords for this icon are 'oh you beautiful doll', which is an oddly appropriate song that I currently have stuck in my head. It's quite old and has silly lyrics. I like to sing it at random.

In the not-comedy film we saw last night, there was definitely a gay Indian, which would have been not overly noteworthy except that he looked and sounded an awful lot like Stephen Spinella. He wasn't, I checked, but it kept making me giggle. (He also got killed. It's a sad film. Don't watch it.)

Him: Hi! May I speak to Soujin's Mum?
Soujin: *makes the 'are you at home?' face at Mum*
Mum: *makes the 'if you hand me that telephone I'll strangle you with the cord' face*
Soujin: That's me!
Him: Oh, good. Well, see, you donated to Greenpeace a while ago--
Soujin: I did! ^_______^
Him: We want to thank for you that. It was really, really helpful. So we wanted to tell you that we just won a major victory with the whole whaling thing. We got it stopped--
Soujin: That's fantastic. The poor whales.
Him: I know! But then we got actually physically attacked--
Soujin: OMG PHYSICALLY ATTACKED?
Him: Yes! So we were wondering if you could donate more money--
Soujin: *makes the 'want to donate money?' face at Mum*
Mum: *makes the 'sure, if you don't want to go to college' face*
Soujin: I'm afraid I can't.
Him: Are you sure?
Soujin: Yes! I wish I wasn't, but I was just in a car accident, and I'm paying for repairs, and it's frightful.
Him: I'm really sorry to hear that, but even seventy-five dollars would help--
Soujin: I caaaan't. I need to send my teenage daughter to therapy, and we're having to do so many consultations--! My goodness, can you believe the trouble teenagers get into?
Him: Well, if you're sure--
Soujin: I am, I'm so sorry.
Him: Okay. Well, thank you, Soujin's Mum. Thanks for listening.
Soujin: Absolutely.
Him: *hangs up*
Mum: ...The poor man.

Daddy: We had a good game to-day! It was just the two of us, but there were two guys behind us who wanted to join, so we had a foursome.
Soujin: ...That would mean something completely different on teh internets. :D

Him: Hello, is this Soujin's Mum?
Soujin: *makes the 'want to talk to a telemarketer?' face at Mum*
Mum: *makes the 'want me to put aspartame into your system or not?' face*
Soujin: *affects the voice Robin Williams uses for the old lady in Mrs. Doubtfire* This is she!
Him: Great. I'd like to tell you about our offer and ask you to--
Soujin: Oh, dear, I don't know whether I can do that. I'll have to ask my husband. He's the one will all the credit cards, you know. I always believe that's a man's job.
Him: ...Okay...
Soujin: Daddy, do you want to buy stuff?
Daddy: ...No.
Soujin: Okay! No, dear, I'm afraid he says no, and you know how it is.
Him: ...Are you sure?
Soujin: Oh, I'm afraid so, dear.
Him: Okay. Thanks for listening. Good-bye--
Soujin: God bless you, dear.
Him: You too, ma'am. *hangs up*
Mum: ...I just remembered why we don't usually let you answer the telephone.

Meantime, I finally got the den cleaned, and will do the dining room to-morrow, and need to make the cake on Saturday. :D It's Mum's birthday!
