For irony's sake, let's say her name is Jemimah.

@whats_in_a_name: I'm sorry. There can be only ONE Countess round these parts and I'm not filled with delicious syrup. I'm filled with bitter hatred and sarcasm.

@LaComtesse: That's why we put you on our French toast, which pairs well with the dripping vitriol and helps provide a complete breakfast.

@bluebears: Oh my God, that reminded me of this one thing on GraphJam, if I knew how to post images I would, but it was a chart labeled: Things I Can Do Really Well. The highest lines were ones corresponding to things like "Tie My Shoes" and the lower ones to things like "Find My Keys." The lowest one of all? "Believe It's Not Butter." So stupid, but I laughed my face off.

My mom once made me a lamp out of an old Mrs. Butterworth bottle. Maybe I should make and sell some on etsy while she's a topic of conversation.

@Lady Skittlehattington: you know, I just re-watched it and it kind of sends a fucked-up message: now i'm all conflicted. I need to stick to FB's Day Off, I think...

The ending of Sixteen Candles is my very favorite. I think I still hope for a moment like that.

I'm watching Sixteen Candles.
Thanks for everything, John.

I think I'll be spending my evening in detention with the brain, the athlete, the princess, the basket case, and the criminal.
(PS: could someone go check on Tiffany? First Michael Jackson, now John Hughes... my 80s icons are in a perilous position.)

While I'll always remember John Hughes for bringing me Sixteen Candles at a time in my life when I most needed it, (with Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink soon to follow along my teenage arc, as if written specifically for me) I will forever be most grateful for Uncle Buck.

(Sorry this was so rambling when, basically, I just wanted to say: Thanks, Mr. Hughes.)
