My joy at having done my laundry (clean clothes! whee!) is hampered by the fact that I lost my first sock. This is the first sock that I myself have sacrificed to That Which Eats A Sole Sock, and it was a fuzzy blue one that I wore when it was cold. It matched the blue robe my mom bought me when we went to Paris. I will miss that sock.

Today I had the worst headache of my life during my Spanish exam. I think I did decently, but seeing as I bombed every one of the three exams I took last week, who knows! Oh, Academia, you are a constant challenge.

I went to mass with Paige today to get ashed. For Lent I gave up everything that is delicious that isn't also nutritionally sound. Like raspberry fruit leather. Forty calories for a tangy fruity strip of deliciousness. And if it isn't awesome, don't say anything, or I won't have anything to live for.

It's the Sock Elf...and he always takes only one. :)

Turns out, he took none! The prodigal sock has returned!

(It was in the sleeve of a jacket.)

I'll take your fuzzy blue sock and raise you a white and green ankle sock, also MIA. Maybe they could get married and have beautiful twin sock babies together.

Happy Lent. :D I need to make some pancakes or something to belatedly celebrate. I had completely forgotten about it.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I found my sock! Very happy.

LOL, you don't celebrate Lent.

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, whatever, you still acknowledge it. And you celebrate Shrove Tuesday, so close enough. I still need pancakes.

My sock is broken hearted, because I think its mate has gone for good.

What is Shrove Tuesday?

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

The day before Lent. Wikipedia informs me that the US only calls it Mardi Gras. In the UK it has both names. More importantly, Shrove Tuesday is Pancake Day, where you use up all the eggs, milk, etc. you aren't supposed to have during Lent. Except if you're me, you forget all about it and then develop a craving for pancakes. :D

You're not Catholic, so it doesn't matter for you. But yeah, I celebrated Mardi Gras.

Also, pancakes are awesome, and I will eat them at any time.

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

I'm Anglican, and yes it does. I just don't usually bother with it. :D

Mmm, pancakes.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

If you don't bother with it, then it doesn't matter to you.

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

I meant in the sense of my religion recognising it as a holiday, is all.

Your lost sock will likely show up unexpectedly, perhaps when you are moving out, and you find smashed into the carpet under your dresser. Socks that Go Missing During Laundry is one of life's greatest Mysteries, I think. :p

... Or like last night, when I went to put on my jacket, and it was in the sleeve! Oh, happy day!

[cryssa.livejournal.com]

If that's the candy I am thinking of, it's unnaturally delicious. It probably isn't, though, but whatever. My candy of mystery is delicious either way.

Who's in your icon?

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Your candy mystery intrigues me!

Santos and Hilda from Ugly Betty. *cry*

"hampered" eh? You so punny.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

So, you're not going to believe this, but I actually didn't catch that until you said it. Is it clever or dumb to be unintentionally punny?
