I just realized. Luna (the Smashing Pumpkins song from whence this blog takes its name) on my iPod has 30 plays right now.

Luna on iTunes has 12 plays.
And what does that mean, my dear readers?

42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Nerd points to who gets the reference.)

…not counting this sentence, this blog post has 42 words….

Henry Kissinger.

Not kidding.

So, I have since migrated from lexulous to isc.ro, which is official and doesn’t have a lot of idiots on it. My rating there is 330, which I got after a lot ofou  bad games. (It used to be 450-ish.) However, it just got pulled up when I laid down some ownage on someone with a bingo (for those of you who don’t know, a bingo is when you use all the tiles in your rack. My bingo was FAVORITe, with the E being in the word VETO. What’s more, it was in on a triple word score, so I got myself a nice 90 points.

I won the game 409-246. As Borat would say, great success!

PS: My Scrooge syndrome has expired with the first snow. I feel very holiday-y, and very hopeful of recieving a DSLR.

Now read below the line.

———————————————–

I’m five foot three in combat boots. My BMI is 20.9. My hair is burgundy, and it’s shorter than most girls’ hair. I need a haircut. The scattered pimples on my forehead never go away, no matter how much salicylic acid I put on them. My eyes are the color of the water in the Meadowlands at low tide, and in photographs, they look dead. I also have a tendency to look like I have no lips in photos, unless I have attempted to put makeup on, in which case they look like clown lips. My legs are short in proportion to the rest of me. I can’t go out with no bra under any circumstances whatsoever. I have a very interesting scar on my left arm from cyborg surgery, and for two months, I had to wear a brace on my arm. This resulted in a Turkish photographer photographing me in Columbus Circle during a reunion. My heels dry out easily. I can circle my wrists with my first and second fingers, which are very long. All of them are. I sometimes look like I have no eyelashes, because they’re short and I don’t wear mascara unless forced. I have very bad posture, which my mother endlessly tries to correct. My fingernails are all broken fron trying to open locker 2015 by the music wing, which I consider the spawn of (evil of your choice) because it always makes me late to second period.

How close were you?

The last of the leaves fell today as I was walking home. I was listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s Scarborough Fair/Canticle (which, if you’ve seen About Luna page, you’d assume I love, which is correct) at the time. I wonder if I could put that in some movie…
