I've got the trophy right now

Last week I threatened to purchase and have engraved a trophy for the Most Racist Comment of the Week. To my delight, Monday morning Travis declared that he had found a 99 cent trophy at a Good Will in Seattle over the weekend. Now whenever someone says something even mildly racist (or any kind of -ist since AJ insisted that sexism, Gaycism, and Ajism be included) the trophy gets passed to them. I am the current holder of the trophy due to saying, "I used to be Swedish, but I got better."

AJ held the trophy for several days early on this week (mostly because we intentionally avoided saying anything even remotely racist so that he would have to keep the trophy. AJ is the least -ist person in the world so it was hilarious that he was stuck with the trophy even when he tried to goad people into saying racist things). His comment regarding a debate over whether or not a comment was racist: "Let's ask Travis, he's from the South!" Travis is from Kansas.

Later in the week AJ won the trophy again for complaining about a lack of social events calendar for straight people. "What is wrong with your people? I mean, frick! If I want to know what's going on with my people on any given weekend all I have to pull up the Gay Calendar and look! How do your people know what to do on the weekends?"

I could not help myself. Randomly, a calculator had been left next on this railing so I had to type in "hello" and leave it there to greet passersby.


Hobby Hoedown: The Pokemon SoulSilver challenge has been declared over. We did not finish collecting all the Pokemon, but we did beat all the gym trainers. 256 Pokemon was too many, especially when you have to breed them to get some or trade from the Game Boy Advance Games. Boo Hiss.

However, in order to scratch something off my Video Games Bucket List I have decided to beat Super Mario Brothers 2. Yes, the weird one where you throw the turnips.

I have been writing a new story about a girl who wakes up with no memory in a graveyard called The Necromancer's Assistant. I really like it so far, but I am not liking the fact that LiveJournal has changed the way formatting works when copying and pasting from a Word document. The formatting is all jacked up and I can't figure out how to fix it. I think I'm going to have to migrate my stories somewhere else. Possibly here, we'll see.

Story Time: The "Challenge Accepted!" Story

AJ and I often have pointless debates on topics ranging from economics to super heroes. One day I said something that prompted AJ to say, "But you're not Magneto!"

My response was to pull a handful of paperclips out of my desk stare at them intently with my hands outstretched towards them and say back, "Challenge accepted!"
