"Afternoon dudes!

First up, performances! You all totally get to perform your personal theme songs. After that, you can ask me any questions you want about the field trip tomorrow. Because of the mysteeeerious nature of time travel, we'll be gone for what feels like two days to us, but in Fandom time we'll be back by the end of the lesson. Your final will be a short piece on what you've learned so far due next week whenever you get it done. Oh, and dinner while we're gone is totally on me!"

[OOC: Handwave if you wish! And here's tomorrow's first destination for slow play.]

Your Presentation

[wyld-stallyn.livejournal.com]

Present your personal theme songs. Get up and sing them or do it in the form of dramatic monologue if you haven't figured out a tune yet. It's all about the lyrics here. Or handwave.

Jake presents his theme song. It's about coffee. It's very much about coffee. Delicious, sweet, bitter, black and brown and white and chocolatey coffee. He's really into it too.

And at the end, he gulps down lots of coffee from his trusty mug.

John totally sings his theme song.

Risin' up, back into class
Did my time, lots of people in the common room at a glance
Went the distance, Professor Skeeter turned me into a jackass!
Just a man and his will to thrive!

So many times, I'm just too much a smartass!
So come sit down and I'll tell you my story
So damn brave, yeah all right, got cajones of brass!
I just fight to survive!

It's the eye of the Crichton, the original white knight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
Fightin good and evil with all of my might!
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the Crichton!

Zero brought her guitar and amp so she can do this properly. Behold, her theme song. It's really quite good, with bits about the library and running from the paparazzi and zombies and so forth.

Marty bites the bullet and just plays "Dude looks like a Lady" for the class off his mp3 player.

Re: Your Presentation

D'anna isn't the best of singers but she gives a valiant effort. She begins, "I've been to Arilon, Tauron, Geminon, Canceron, Leonis, and Virgon, Libris, Scorpia, Saggittaron, Caprica, Aquaria, Picon just happ'n'd to be in the area..." and continues to cover a few points of Colonial interest, some fandom adventures and ends before anyone has reached the point of wanting to throw vegetables at her.

The tune sounds suspiciously like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on repeat.

Angela had written song about her experiences as a teenage girl that was in no way a complete and total rip-off of "Cornflake Girl" by Tori Amos.

The song now seemed kind of ridiculous, but it was all he had, so he performed it. Though he wondered if he should have written something called "My Boyfriend Has PMS" to sing instead.

Lindsey was gonna bring his guitar and play his awesome theme song...then his girlfriend beat him up on Tuesday and now he can't use his hand for a while. Woe.

So he just sings it. There are bits about hating Oklahoma, about how Lindsey is totally not a girl's name, and some stuff about being a lawyer someday and there might have been a line about selling his soul, but he sang that one pretty fast so it was hard to tell.

Re: Your Presentation

Bridge's theme song is a little bit ode to *fingerwiggle* buttery toast, a little bit about being a superhero, and a little bit about duct tape, because he wrote this song at the last minute and it was the first rhyme that sprung to mind for the line "I won't be wearing a cape".

Re: Your Presentation

Chloe's song is a folk ballad about a quirky reporter looking for love in all the wrong places. It's not half bad.

Re: Your Presentation

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

At first I was afraid,
I was petrified,
W'nderin' how I ever lived through your mass homocide.

I spent so much time simmering in hate,
Became irate,
And learnt how to burninate...

Re: Your Presentation

A+ all the way.

Ask Ted any questions you might have about the final paper, the field trip or cheese.
