mari4212I am so going to force Dad to change browsers.
I'm not going to be on the computer much for the next few days, or however long it takes Dad to figure out how to get rid of the latest virus that's wormed it's way past our security system. So if I miss anything important, or don't comment on something you were expecting me to have an opinion about, it's probably because I didn't catch it in my quick skim through my flist. I'm hitting skip eighty, and at that I'm lucky because I was able to get on in the late afternoon yesterday.
This never happened at school. Of course, at school I didn't use IE, and that seems to really help.
And my application is up, and I'm getting thoroughly 'Puffed. Excellent. But I was right, I am reading far more Ravenclaw with this application than I did at H_E. And again, absolutely no Slytherin vibes. You snakes haven't had that much of an influence on me, I guess. *still thinks that her most Slytherin moment was when she bribed the sorters at HE with cookies and got away with it*
I'm rewatching Star Trek: Insurrection for Sociology, and I'm loving it. I'd forgotten how many great lines there were in it, and how much I loved the characters. I miss Data so much right now. And Geordi needs a lot of hugs.

Date: 2006-05-21 08:12 pm (UTC)The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.
ARIEL
Can you do that?
URSULA
My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
To this
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
Have we got a deal?
ARIEL
If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
URSULA
But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh.
Oh, and there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
ARIEL
But I don't have-
URSULA
I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!
What I want from you is - your voice.
ARIEL
But without my voice, how can I-
URSULA
You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle babble for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
Beluga sevruga
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
Now, sing!
ARIEL
Aah...
Keep singing!
