Look at my high school coolness.

So, I have a DAY OFF (wheeeeee!) and I'm cleaning around the house, eliminating all of the junk from my purse, and sorting through the giant mound of papers that always accumulates between test blocks. I'm watching Ellen (I know she's a big ol' lesbian, but I love her. I can't help it - she makes me laugh) and she's doing a segment on skincare. Someone just mentioned putting mashed carrot on your face, and I thought they said "mashed parrot", which is at least six kinds of wrong.

In other news, I thought I'd be a little festive for Halloween (one day late, sorry) and I dug into my "embarrassing video archive" and came up with a pep rally from my senior year, which featured the varsity and junior high cheerleaders, majorettes, flag corps, and twirler - doing a super-fab routine to Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Couple things you need to know. First of all, my face isn't really green. It's makeup. Second, see those little white things that are placed around the gym floor? Those are filled with dry ice, because we thought "Oooooh, fog would be cool." What we didn't know (thanks to our excellent educations) is that dry ice has to be WET in order to change from solid to vapor. Duh. In addition, I'm not sure why we thought dead people would be wearing flannel. And also, my friend Wendy and I choregraphed the routine (borrowed some things from Michael, obviously). And Broadway producers, don't come knocking on my door for my choregraphy skills. I'm just too busy with school. Ha.

Ah, nostalgia. Enjoy! (There's two file sizes - please right-click and "save as" to save my bandwidth.)
