~~ghdfujkshgfydhjnm my brain has been removed and replaced with jello, not even the acceptable kind but rather the stuff with questionable fruit in it that they serve in school lunches~~

When I was but a wee Jerseysqrl they used to serve us in school this stuff they called Whip. It was pinkish and they gave it to us in these little plastic containers with lids on them. You could turn these containers upside down and shake them, and the contents would not move. It tasted like cherry and chemicals, and I don't know of anybody who actually ate it (beyond taking a small taste for curiosity's sake), but they still served it to us every couple weeks, and every couple weeks we'd play with the containers a bit and then throw the stuff out. This may be the source of my mutant powerz.

Got an anecdote like that about yourself or your pup that doesn't really go anywhere but just sorta trails off awkwardly? If not, make one up. This is the internet. Nobody'll know.

Alternately, what's on your mind?

I remember this one time in elementary school we had pajama day. It probably coincided with spirit week or was at the end of the spring semester, probably the latter. But it was the day of school that other kids only dreamed about. We had not only our pajamas but our pillows and blankets and all the desks were moved aside so we could camp out on the floor with our friends. They turned the lights out, played movies on the TV system, and let us play with the indoor recess toys. Best day of school ever. Also, 100% true to the best of my memory, which makes it even better. (Though my memory shouldn't be relied on for various reasons.)

My brain meats say there should totally be this one time Jessica talked Mia into sneaking around the Magic Guild late at night to find that one classroom. You know the one: every school has a classroom that SOMEBODY swears is as haunted as all get out. They end up running into an older teacher up for a glass of water, scream their heads off, and run back up to the safety of Mia's room. And nobody will admit what happened out of fear of retribution.

Lucas probably has a cute story about how his parents first began courting. I wanna say it has to do with one of Flint's sheep taking a liking to Hinawa and chewing on her dress. After that, it was just love at first sight for ol' twitterpated Flint and he'd go up to her house every day to leave flowers at the door. This eventually lead to an awkward moment when Flint was leaving the flowers only for the door to open and Hinawa's father Alec to receive them. Alec would of course tease Flint about it to get a rise out of him and thus he assumed the role he would take as Flint's father-in-law for the rest of their lives.
