'Too bad you're crazy...too bad you're loony as hell...so long it could've been swell together...'

So,  the other day, own_the_sky and I had this conversation in sapph’s journal [from which all EVIL seems to originate]

New Mary movies is actually a nationally recognized excuse for missing class. Tell your teachers.

Hee, I love this. Does it apply to overdue assignments too? XP

I must print that disclaimer and attach to my two day late essay. That's what happens when you leave it til the last minute and then get Dances with Wolves/Sneakers. *headdesk*

own_the_sky

haha. Of course. It applies to all types of missed deadlines.
Aw Sneakers and DWW... a double whammy... no way can you be expected to turn things in on time

Oh, thank the gods, someone understands me! Not so sure my lecturer would [although...they're human too, you never know who might be a closet Mary fan]

Lol, this might be one of the more novel excuses a student has ever given! 'I am dealing with a new and overwhelming addiction to Mary McDonnell which drove all thoughts of study out of my head.' Heh. I'm doing Psychology, so maybe that would be intriguing enough to distract them...?

My drawing professor *almost* let me off the hook for a portfolio review i missed because DWW was on TV just because it was an original excuse...

This excuse must work in psychology if it almost works in art.

And you know, we were totally joking around- or at least, *I* was. Then I realized I had to hand in a short reflection on the assignment because they’re big on introspection in this unit, for some reason. *cue suspenseful music* I cannot believe I actually did this, because my lecturer is SO going to think I’m taking the piss out of this assignment, but it was a last minute requirement that I attended to at 1 am and…I ended up handing this in:

------------------------------

Reflection

The write-up of the interview was not as difficult as I thought, and I’m ashamed I didn’t attend to it sooner. This is the first assignment in my entire life that’s been handed in late, due to both my inattention to small details like the due date, and also my recent addiction to Mary McDonnell. The ‘Dances With Wolves’ and ‘Sneakers’ double-whammy struck me last week. A friend suggested the excuse 'I am dealing with a new and overwhelming addiction to Mary McDonnell which drove all thoughts of study out of my head’ couldn’t hurt. Apparently, ‘New Mary movies is actually a nationally recognized excuse… It applies to all types of missed deadlines.  Tell your teachers.’

*headdesk* WHAT THE HELL WAS I ON?! OMFG I’M INSANE.

OMG YOU DIDN'T!!!

I DID I DID! I HAVE SO LOST MY FRAKKING MIND!!!

I'm glad my now permanent lapse into insanity has the bonus of offering amusement to others...oh,I'm so not turning up to any more lectures now, I don't want to face a reaction to this stunt in person...*hides*

It's clearly my flisters that bring the ebil ;)

Good point...but you expose us all to each other's bad influences, thus compounding it and making Teh Evilness Quotient a thousand times stronger...we only had the above conversation through meeting on your journal, after all! It's a breeding ground for ebil... ;P

BTW I've uploaded Blue Chips and The American Clock. Nola and Crazy Like A Fox are on their way ;)

Girl you make me laugh & laugh. I want a report of what your teachers says. *LMAO*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

I was sleep-deprived and not in full command of my faculties...non compos mentis FTW...it *seemed* like a good idea at the time. It was that despairing attitude of 'I just want to get this assignment out of my LIFE' that took over.

Oh, gods, I'm not sure I have the strength to find out the result...

[kelinea.livejournal.com]

Just read your LJ entry and Laughed really a lot :D

made me thinks to my English teacher, it wasn't the same reason but the girl came late in class and when he asked the reason, she answered :" I'm pregnant !" and he asked for how many times..and...She answered :" 20 minutes" looking at her watch

And no, wasn't me *GGG*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

HA! There's no way I'm ready for a child at my age, but that would be the most awesome way EVER to stop a teacher scolding me for being late! 'I'm pregnant...' What can they do after that? LOL.

[kelinea.livejournal.com]

Yep, if they ask you for how many times and you :" just 20 minutes" *LOL* But it's true that my teacher was so shocked by the 20 minutes that he didn't say anything at the moment but he's still telling him to all the students as "don't frak with me again guys ! I don't wanna her your sexual stories " *GGG*

he was very great, I think it was the best English teacher I never had ;)
