Let me just start by saying I don't play unless I can win. I am smarmy, competitive, vicious and a know it all. Also, cute and fluffy.

Thankfully, most people notice the cute and fluffy part. Or they just watch me to see how much I'm eating. Or something. And now you're all giving me a funny look right now, but my mother once told me that everybody watches the fat girl to see what they're eating. So I usually don't. But last night, there was Brie. Brie and I have a very good working relationship. It holds still, and I eat it.

So, there was trivia, and I was the only one who pussied out and fell asleep, but at that point, I was trying to get away from pain, because DVT, oh my god. And I wrote haikus. I wish someone had captured the haikus somewhere - oh my god, is this all going to be on the web? And the team was very good, and everyone was wicked smart. And I stayed up almost all night! I conked out at 6.48. I'm sorry, my girlfriend was there. She was warm. And then we gave L lots of doubleshots and she drove home. And everyone was very nice. And hahaha, I have a book that [livejournal.com profile] sovay wants. Well, I'm sure she doesn't know that she wants it, yet, but she will once she knows that I have it. Ahahahaha, out of print since 1994. Also, does anyone have Katie Crackernuts from that series? How would you do a novel of Katie Crackernuts? I thought it was, like, a children's ballad. [livejournal.com profile] sanj reads very good books. She had The Folk of the Air. And she reminds me of Sia, almost as much as Sovay's mother does.

We won, we won, we won!

That is all.

Therefore, rule one of selkitude holds true; do not engage unless victory is assured. *snarp of pointy white teeth* I really thought I'd be sitting in the car, whining on the way home that I played something and I didn't win. Last time that happened, I was in eighth grade. And, to be fair, I had been spelling words for six hours. Fuck you, Webster's New International Dictionary. Heee. Am not competitive at all.

Will you be too disappointed if I tell you that I have a hardcover on my shelf? It's right next to her Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary and Kara Dalkey's The Nightingale. I read it when first I came to Brandeis. (And then went on to join the Classics Department, of course . . .)

I've never been able to get hold of Kate Crackernuts, for whatever that's worth . . .

Most of the Fairy Tale Series is! Alas! :( And I really want to see what the heck was done with Katie Crackernuts.
