kalpurna at 08:05am on 07/09/20061. I answered a poll somewhere yesterday that asked me how I pronounced my LJ name, and this caused me to draw an analogy between my pseudonym and the word "spurn," as in "she spurned her suitors." This made me FAR more happy than is good for me. Yay for rhyming with awesome words! I hereby enjoin you all: if you ever write an epic poem about me (and really, you MIGHT, right?) then you have to rhyme "Kalpurna" and "Spurn-ah." As in "one who spurns frequently or habitually."
2. Yesterday I was tooling around Wikipedia (like you do) and I learned a lot about Emperor Norton I of San Francisco, who declared himself Emperor of these United States and Protector of Mexico. The wonderful thing about this is that people largely accepted it. He would periodically issue proclamations which the newspaper would immediately print, and he wandered the streets in a faded blue uniform with gold epaulets, exchanging his own currency for money from tourists. Local restaurants served him for free, and put plaques on their doors saying "by appointment to his Imperial Majesty." ( more about Norton )
3. God, I finally got my Due South DVDs back from the English teacher I lent them to. (I really want to make that "to whom I lent them," but I will persevere in the face of my own pretensions.) I had NO IDEA how much I missed their sweet, ill-packaged presence in my life. NONE. Downloaded episodes? Not the same. Oh, my shoddily decorated, special-feature-free lovelies, never leave me again.
4. One thing I am really looking forward to about college is getting in touch with my dykey side. I'm bi, and I certainly have no intention of forgetting about men, but... GIRLS! Hot girls with tattoos and soft lips! Girls with spiky hair that smell good! Pretty girls with piercings and muscles! Femme girls with high heels and lipstick! I'm going to buy a corset and get my lesbian cousin to show me all the hot gay bars. YAY GIRLS. ( more about girls (and boys) )
5. I watched the Ride Forever documentary. ( so. much. love. )
