Metamorphosis

So, apparently today is Franz Kafka's birthday.  For anyone who doesn't know, he's the guy who wrote Metamorphosis (the one where the guy turns into a dung beetle), which I've recently had to read for summer English homework.
Honestly, I like the Google doodle better than the actual book.

UPDATES!!!!

*pokes head around corner*
Um...sorry I haven't posted in over two months.....I've been super busy....with finals and AP tests and stuff......please don't kill me!
But, a lot of stuff happened during my radio silence.

• I was going to do an Easter post, but Jim's old friend - sorry, acquaintance - Edward showed up and decided to crash for a while.  And, while Ed is, in all fairness, a pretty cool guy, he tends to disregard human life a little more than we'd like, so we try to keep him under close watch when he's in town.  Fortunately, his two week visit passed without major incident.
• Cherri's and Robert's birthdays happened! Yay!
• My birthday's tomorrow! Yay!
• Jace successfully graduated high school! Yay!
• Jess tricked Jace into eating a piece of turkey about a month ago.  He got really upset, but he's back to his usual, vegetarian self.
• Last week, I started working on a way to reduce the size of the visors to compensate for Robert's glasses.  I'm still in the planning stages, but with any luck I'll have results before the new school year starts in August.

And that...brings you up to date.  I'll try not to stay dormant for too long any more....

Life Lesson Learned

Contrary to popular belief, the laws of physics apply to electric mixers.  In other words, if your mixers are covered in cake batter and you turn them on, cake batter will go flying everywhere.....

True Story

We broke into the theatre teacher's office with the principal's keys.

Love Conquers All

Sooooooooooo, it's been a while.  There was a little bit of a rough period there (Alien is freaking INSANE), but we got things sorted out.  And we're back!  Just in time for Valentine's Day.  Aren't we lucky.
Valentine's has many names, including Single's Awareness Day, Forever Alone Day, and my personal favorite, I Hate Red And Pink Day.  Notice how only one of those has a positive connotation?  That's because, if you're single, Valentine's Day is a REALLY sucky holiday.  But today, I get to tell a happy story.
So it turns out Robert, one of the new zombies, has a crush on one of the people he used to work with.  You know, one of those silent, not-quite-stalker relationships.  Well, turns out, dying sort of triggered something in his brain, and he decided to declare his undying love for her.  Today.
I know, a lot of you are already thinking this is going to end badly, but remember, this is a happy story.  So Robert, who isn't allowed out of any of our sights, somehow managed to sneak away, purchase a small stuffed rabbit, walk straight into the office building where she works, and present it to her.  By the time we found him, they were making plans for a date.  Next week.
Turns out, she had felt the same about him for the past few years.  And she didn't give a damn about his current dead state.  Which just made it extra sweet for Robert.
So I guess love really does conquer all.  Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Happy thoughts

Hey Lea,
I know you're in a funk right now, and I know you're probably still really super mad at me, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry, you know, in front of the world.  It'll get better, I promise.  I'll bring you chocolate.  I hear chocolate makes people feel better, so just say the word, and there will be chocolate.  I promise.
                                                                    Very really and truly sincerly,
                                                                    Chris

Jace: Updates

So, things have been happening, and I figure you all need some updates as to what we've been doing.

• There are two new zombies in the society.  We're learning about them and we'll have bios up eventually.
• We brought Xander flowers in the hospital.  He was thrilled.
• Lea was true to her word and has thoroughly killed Chris.  I managed to get away and have been avoiding her for the past week.  This is also why I'm the one posting this, because Chris is still recuperating.
• Finally, the site will be changing.  Be aware.
