if I stand in front of a speeding car

Sami Cohen-Chang I'm seventeen and I attend McKinley High with my sister Tina. I play a bit of all sports, although field hockey is my favorite. I love it more than life itself. “As long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking.” ― Virginia Woolf, Orlando

I’ve finally finalized my plans for spring break. I was beginning to think I would be stuck here.

[samidoublec]

Going anywhere exciting?

[pureatheart-deactivated20180825]

Guess who has a job?

Me! I was hanging out at the Lima Bean when I noticed a Help Wanted sign. I filled out the application and was hired on the spot. It might not be the most glamorous job in the world but I’ll have some extra cash so who cares..

[samidoublec]

Congrats! Now I’ve got an excuse to get my coffee there more often.

March is a great month

Would I be totally lost if I just started watching from the point it’s currently at? If you want, I can be your test dummy and try one and let you know if it’s any good. The curiosity is too strong, and it’ll probably kill me to wonder what it tastes like.

[samidoublec]

Probably not. Most of the the main characters from season one are now dead or metaphorically put on a bus. As long as you pay attention you should figure everything out. I’m not above using you as a lab rat. Let me know if it tastes good.

Wait why are you throwing the games? And how did the leprechauns get involved as well.

[samidoublec]

It’s a TV show that’s been on since 2011. And I don’t know where the leprechauns came in.

March is a great month

I’ve never seen Game of Thrones, but I totally agree with you—those shamrock shakes are everything.

[samidoublec]

You could probably catch up before April 24th. I think this is the first season that goes beyond the books since George Martin can’t write fast enough. So no one who read them can spoil anything coming up. I kind of want to ask if they’ll mix a shamrock shake with a chocolate one, but if it tasted bad I’d be so disappointed.

[samidoublec]

March is a great month

[pureatheart-archive]

You know there’s over five hundred calories in a small shamrock shake..

[samidoublec]

It’s okay, I know most of that is sugar, which is why I take my vitamins everyday.

[samidoublec]

March is a great month

It’s the last full month before Game of Thrones returns, which makes the past eight months worth it. Plus McDonald’s has shamrock shakes back. That makes March great even if GoT wasn’t back in April.

Why do we get so much homework over break?

[pureatheart-deactivated20180825]

That could be case. Is she the kind of woman that has a thousand mints in her purse?

True. Maybe they don’t know that much about me so instead of scrambling to find something to say, they go with “Woah, you’ve grown so much since the last time I saw you. Here’s a dollar.. don’t spend it all in one place.”

[samidoublec]

That’s her exactly. Do you have a grandma like that?

At least if you’ve got a lot of relatives you can rack up a lot of dollars.Are you a rebel or do you try and split it up?

[evans-sam-blog]

We’re marathon-ing it! Only way to watch them. It’ll be 19 hours of me taking your half virginity, and don’t worry, I’ll be gentle. 

[samidoublec]

That’s almost a full day. I might have to do a snack run first so we don’t starve to death.

[queenellieofthefabray-deactivat]

Isn’t it nice to be back?

[queenellieofthefabray-deactivat]

Nice to meet you, Sammi. 

Oh, come on. Lighten up. This year will be great. Have some faith. 

[samidoublec]

I’m hoping it will be good but I’m always afraid saying it will jinx it. Everyone was saying it at the start of the year and then all those famous people started dying.

[samidoublec]

Why do we get so much homework over break?

[pureatheart-deactivated20180825]

I sure hope so. Wait–you’ve never heard those comments before? I thought this happened in every household around the holidays. I believe it’s been about a year since the last time they saw me, but, honestly, some family members make those comments after not seeing you for a week. So.. it’s hard to tell if I’ve grown that quickly or they just forgot what I look like. 

[samidoublec]

Sometimes but it’s usually from my grandma, and I’m pretty sure I’m the same height but she’s shrinking a little. I’d hope they don’t forget what you look like, since you are a twin and not being able to remember two people is pretty bad.

[evans-sam-blog]

Hold up, you don’t know the most terrifying villain that was ever created? Are you a Harry Potter virgin?!? We need to fix that, right away, this is a life or death situation. I’m going to have to save you.

[samidoublec]

Hey, I’m not a total virgin. I’ve seen the first two films. Gosh, I didn’t realise it was so dire. How do you propose on doing that?

[queenellieofthefabray-deactivat]

Isn’t it nice to be back?

This place had not changed a bit. I can’t believe I’m finally back. For those of you who doesn’t know, I’m Eleanor Fabray, the school’s Head Cheerio and Track Star from All-Star. You can call me Ellie. This school year is going to be the best ever, I can feel it.

[samidoublec]

Hello there Ellie. I’m Sami and I’m on the field hockey team. If this was a TV show after you spoke they’d cut to something crappy happening to you.

Why do we get so much homework over break?

[evans-sam-blog]

Because teachers are evil, it’s like they don’t want us to enjoy life. They all have an inner Umbridge. 

[samidoublec]

Isn’t that a Harry Potter character? Were they bad?

[kporcelaine-deactivated20170222]

If only—but like I said, this was a definite wake-up call. I didn’t notice any fluffy socks while I was unpacking, but there was a pair of sleek black gloves if you’re still interested?

[samidoublec]

Definitely. Do you want me to swing by your dorm?

[samidoublec]

Why do we get so much homework over break?

[pureatheart-deactivated20180825]

There was homework? 

I was not aware of this. I hope there’s extra credit because all I did over break was eat and sleep and listen to family members talk about how much I’ve grown since the last time they saw me.

[samidoublec]

If it hasn’t been an issue yet, I think you might have lucked out. That exact;y how I think holidays should be spent, except for the part about relatives saying you’ve grown. Had it been a while since you saw them or did you just manage to grow a few inches very quickly?

[samidoublec]

Why do we get so much homework over break?

[theandersonblaine-blog]

Well, it’s also good to relax - that’s what the holidays are for if you ask me. I’m glad to hear that you didn’t get detention. Let me know if there’s anything I can help you with? 

[samidoublec]

I agree. Did you have a relaxing break, after you got all your homework out of the way? Thank you for the offer, I’ll keep it in mind.
