It's like Mary Poppins' carpet bag
When I was hanging out with some friends when someone started complaining about a cold. I reached into my bag and pulled out some cold and flu pills.

When I was running a t-shirt giveaway, we couldn't open one of the boxes of shirts. I reached into my bag and pulled out a small dagger. Not a knife, a dagger.

I was working on a play when someone found splinters on a prop. "Too bad we don't have any sandpaper," says she. I reached into my bag and pulled out several sheets of sandpaper, all with different grits.

Working on the same play, someone needed a beer mug as a costume piece (we were all supposed to have them attatched to belts) I reached into my bag and pulled out three metal tankards and one wooden one.

A friend was saying that she wanted some fish net stockings for her Halloween costume, but couldn't find any. I reached into my bag and pulled out a pair of said stockings, with vinyl corset tops.

What do I carry around with me? Apparently, everything in the known universe.

» Out of my depth

Rocky Horror
I'm in the cast of a production of Rocky Horror Picture Show at my university.

I have to get up on stage in front of over a hundred people to sing, dance, and do naughty things to my fellow cast members while wearing only underwear and fishnets. Oh, and a pirate hat.

We perform in two weeks, and there will only be three practices before we go on stage.

We are given no scripts.

I've only seen the movie twice.

Eep.

» I'm an expert

Huzzah
I'm an expert in Renaissance Festivals. I know three different ways to curtsey, and I know who they should be curtseyed to. I know how to be escorted, how to accept a kiss on the hand, how to eat neatly with just a knife, and what it means to wear a rose in various different places. I know seven different styles of jousting, and how to score them. I know how to walk and climb stairs in a hoop skirt. I can speak in two different English accents, which is pretty good considering I'm Canadian (watching a lot of Doctor Who helps).

Most important of all, I can wear a corset for nine hours a day in the sun and not pass out. Yay!

» Singing the wrong words

My dad didn't like this one
Decorate your father's belly (fa la la la la la la la la)
While he's sleeping by the telly(fa la la la la la la la la)
Jelly smeared in patterns festive (fa la la la la la la la la)
Makes a centrepiece suggestive (fa la la la la la la la la)

Coloured lights his belly wreathing (fa la la la la la la la la)
Blend so gaily with his breathing (fa la la la la la la la la)
Crowning all a star above it (fa la la la la la la la la)
Show the neighbours they will love it (fa la la la la la la la la)

If your dad begins to waken (fa la la la la la la la la)
Hide the tinsel covered bacon (fa la la la la la la la la)
Tell your dad he looks delicious (fa la la la la la la la la)
Run like hell, he might get vicious (fa la la la la la la... la... LAAAAAAAAAAA!)

» Stuff You've Overheard

Not me, my sister
She was passing by the receptionist desk at her work, and overheard this conversation.

"Uh-huh...uh-huh...uh-huh... let me transfer you to our mind-control department."

(Apparently some little old lady thought that hydro towers were controling her mind. WTF, mate?)
