I have several, but this one is the shortest (and the only one I have memorised):

My Sister Ate An Orange by Jack Prelutsky

My sister ate an orange,
I'm astonished that she did,
she swallowed it completely,
she's a disconcerting kid.

My sister ate an orange,
first she chewed it for a while,
then digested it entirely
with a silly sort of smile.

My sister ate an orange,
it's a novel thing to do,
then she also ate a yellow
and a purple and a blue.

Who didn't I steal this from?...

Um...yeah. I think the only thing I haven't done on this list is finish furniture. Oh, and I'm not a Casting Director, unless you count choosing which students should play in which instrument sections and choosing which students should/shouldn't sit next to other students.

Creepy!

And now I'm off to grade some music history papers...

I'm off to the second Back to School Night of the week (last night was for the elementary school, tonight is for the upper school) in a few. I got tagged to do this by the lovely recycledfaery, so I'm going to before I forget. And it's a nice distraction. :D

( cut to save your flist )

I'll make an actual update and reply to posts tomorrow after school. {{hugs}} in the meantime.

...and now I'm off to work.

Our power and internet connection are a bit wonky from the storm, so if you don't hear from me again today...I'll catch up with y'all tomorrow. I have an update ready (LJ icons and wallpapers), but I think I'll wait until things are basically back to normal before I try and upload things to the 'Realm.

...So I did too.

I'm taking a bit of a break from perparing for school. After browsing the Friends List, I came up with this:

School is going well so far. I made a post about it on my Personal Journal, if you wanna read it.

Wow. Pretty linear, eh?

I can't remember if I've done this or not, so here goes:

Stolen from guttermaiden (among others)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

Caroline's Note: Okay, so the closest book was a guide to El Prado, and had a nice picture on page 123 (no text). My second closest was an astronomy book, and had Star Charts on page 123 (labels, but no sentences). My answer is from the third closest book.
