Fandom Radio, Saturday Night, September 2, 2006
Ladies, gentlemen, Fandomoniums of all ages! Welcome to the pirate's own Fandom Radio. This is your announcer, DJ Hawk, bringing you all of the trials, tribulations and other stuff starting with 'T' in Fandom today.
My notes here say that you're all 'talky meat' but kids, if your lunch meat starts talking to you, see a doctor.
Class: That Which the School and I Have in Common
It's Saturday. What more can you ask for? In fact, I propose we make every day a Saturday. Write to your local Principal and/or Mayor. Fight for week-long Saturdays! And little umbrellas in all drinks.
You could have even gone to see Principal Washburn today in her office. Invite her out. Even the Principal needs to be appreciated. So do the office staff, who posted detention sign-ups for teachers. New staff, get in fast! You too can torment misbehaving students.
Campus Life: Your Psyche Will Never Be the Same Again
As usual, the Second Floor Spartans were booming with business today. The musically talented and back-from-summer vacation Shawn serenaded the ladies with his guitar. It seems to have worked since Marie stopped by. But it seems all they talked about was class, class and more class. Then Sam Carter talked to Shawn about more class and they agreed to tutor each other. I don't know if that's a euphemism, but my notes say it's not. Kid, if there's a pretty girl and all you can think of talking about is class? You need some lessons. Feel free to stop by my office.
In other second floor news, Marie and Sam C got to know each other, Anders offered Sam coffee - now that's more like it - and talked about classes. What is it with you people? Anders and Shawn swapped sibling stories, Anders and Marie were worried about Bridge, but don't worry, it's a very easy game to pick up. Then he told Parker about the bleeding and unconscious girl on the sixth floor who, I'm told, is doing just fine.
Sam and Parker talked about Sam's schedule and then Sam and Cameron talked about Sam's schedule again and a swoop bike whatever that is, then Cameron talked to just about everyone else in the room, including Marie on the topic of stupid boys, Shawn about second floor pride (I heard all of your foot-stomping pride from living on the first floor) and Parker and Anders about students leaving. Just think, with graduates out there, you'll have plenty of working people to borrow money off when you leave school. Oh, and in infinitely important news, Parker met Shawn.
For the sake of the radio staff's sanity, I'm tempted to padlock the Second Floor Common Room up. I think I'm beginning to understand the 'talky meat' note.
Deep breath. Moving on. Since I like numerical order, we'll see what kind of mischief the mighty Third Floor Thrashers were getting into.
Fandom's youngest two Winchesters were baking and bickering as brothers do. Tyler decided to get a good start on buttering up (not literally) the Winchester teaching Hunting 101 by helping with the baking.
Luke found out that Tyler knew the guy Luke shares a surname with, Zack was being a big geek - I mean studious young academic - by studying before classes have even begun, then he and Tyler discussed lava and gremlins on a comparative scale. I'd also like to inform you that the lava has now been cleared up and the administration would like to apologize for any inconvenience, burns and acid rain that may have occurred.
Luke learns that not all milk is blue, then traumatizes Dean, is a geek with Zack and talks Hutt eating habits with Sam W. Bel talked dirty about Anakin to Luke, bonded in a manly fashion with Tyler and had a scuffle with Dean over Daddy Dearest's class. Be nice boys, or at least do it where I can't see it.
Matilda is also geeky but endearingly so, reminisced with Aeryn and geeked out some more with Tyler.
There's nothing wrong with being a geek. Geeks will inherit the Earth and many of you will get into medical school if you try hard enough. Be nice to geeks. They may one day save your life or blow up the planet. You decide which one you'd prefer.
Aeryn finds out that Daddy Winchester is in town and is traumatized by Luke. If you want pointers on trauma, apparently you should give this Luke guy a call. Then Buffy was sad and offered Aeryn a make-over. My notes say she's still alive and well.
Dean and Buffy talked shop, Sam W invited Buffy to dinner - finally, someone who knows what they're doing! Tyler and Buffy talked about their respective summer experiences, then Buffy and Dawn did as sisters do and had a fashion crisis. Anything but drab green, girls. Meanwhile, the Hitachiin twins watched the pie-making.
Moving on to the Fourth Floor Fighting Phantoms Joxer made breakfast and I hope there was enough for everyone. Sharing is caring unless it's a contagious disease or chewing gum. Agnes learned about the healthiest of healthy breakfasts, Cedric talked interior decorating - you creative fiend, Cedric - Agnes showed Cedric her frog (make of that what you will), Broots is in training to become a fully-fledged caffeine addict but still has time to eat breakfast and learn about the Disc from Agnes.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need a drink.
*silence, then gulping sounds*
Much better. We now have a stable, and before you ask no there's no manger involved, but Willow and Peter Pevensie the Portly Pony had lunch. No really, he turned into a pony. Ask him for a ride while you still can. Take photos. I insist. Seely keeps making news headlines by apologizing to Peter Pony and getting bitten again. At least there's no debauchery involved this time. I hope. Let's not go there. Then there's talk of wereponies and werecelery between Willow and Bel and then the whole menagerie watches Project Runway.
I'm going to pretend that made sense.
Some of you like your privacy and stayed out of the common rooms, and that's fine, but you should have remembered to lock the pirate out, because your dirty laundry is about to be aired on the radio.
Jim is sick so stay away until we figure out if he's contagious or not. I'm mostly sure it's not the plague. Flexible Peter (as opposed to Peter Pevensie the Pretty Pony and Slip N Slide Peter - yes, I saw that) asked Aeryn for training help. Well, it's better than offering a makeover.
Revenge is sweet and as Agnes found out, Z met Luke and wasn't traumatized, Rory and Luke had a heart-to-heart, Rory and Angela talk about gremlins, Aeryn and Rory are sad and Molly came back sad and Cameron took care of her. Kids, I don't know what has you down, but if you need to talk, we have a counselor. Or me.
Ranma's dog met Teddy and I'm assuming that Ranma was there as well, Anders and Cally caught up and talked about - oh geez, classes, again! Classes. Classes don't start until Monday! Enjoy what's left of your summer!
Aeryn and John were serious at each other, as they do so well, Conner stayed in, so did Nadia and Walter, Anders and Bridge, Setsuna, Zero and it says here that Cedric and Jack were cute together. You two should have your own TV show.
And finally for campus news, Pip taught Blair to fire a gun. *ruffling of papers* No, I didn't read that wrong. Kids, just say no to guns. They're noisy and annoying and if you're not careful you could end up in the clinic or dead. They're a lot like redneck neighbors, in a way.
Wait, no, I have a message here that I'm meant to pass on. There's a group of people meeting in the lobby tomorrow morning to go and find Marie. Wherever Marie is. I'm sure one of you will tell me if this actually needs adult intervention, since that's what we're here for and...*sigh* anyway. Moving on.
Downtown: Where All the Lights are Bright
We're on the home stretch now. It's a very long stretch, but we're almost home.
Alanna released Door from the clinic today. I'm going to assume from the capitalization on my notes that that's a name and that Alanna isn't on a crusade to free all of the doors on the island. But the clinic was all quiet when Doctor Goodchild started his shift.
The Winchesters and friends had dinner at Daddy Winchester's place, Jude left and Setsuna saw him off, Silent Bob and the scrawny blonde fellow he spends his time with loitered, Jamie and Marie met up at the Kwik Stop - obviously before I got the note - Caritas was open and Rosette put an eyepatch on a statue. Everyone needs a hobby.
Lyra visited All and Sundries today where Seras was working, Parker and my new housemate Jarod spent time at the park and The Doctor who's too hung up on his title was out and about tonight.
I'm now sure all of you are caffeine addicts, because The Perk was as busy today as a the Fourth Sin's Toyko counterparts during the Korean War. A bunch of friendly folks stopped by: Rosette, Summer, Janice - all ladies I don't know and if you're of a legal age, feel free to call in and leave me your number. Then there was The Doctor who needs to get a name since he's not the only doctor in town and that could get confusing, Mac, the ever-chipper Pippi, the debonairre Doctor Christian Troy, Shawn who I hope has stopped talking about classes, Togusa who has returned to our fair shores, Walter who I'm told doesn't own a teddy bear and our very own Ms Nadia Santos.
May your nights be sleepless and your bloodstream be filled with caffeinated goodness with caramel syrup and chocolate sprinkles.
Last but not least, today marked a special occasion with Zero Hopeless-Savage, she of the many-colored hair, holding auditions for a new band she's starting. Zero, I'm no Sinatra, but if you need a guest singer...but I digress. Parker the queen of vodka did her part as manager by being bossy as usual - stick with what you're good at. Alanna the Hyperactive Redhead auditioned, as did the Argentinian diva Nadia. The Hitachiin twins did their part for the music industry, along with Cowboy Pete, Pip and his wild guitar talent. Agnes blew them away, Shawn revealed that girls love musicians - that's more like it! River did some interpretive dance, The Chad did some magnificent bass lines and Pippi was an animal on the drums.
Meanwhile, Parker and 'The' watched, along with Alanna, Nadia, Evie, Pip, The Chad and Flexible Peter.
That's a great turn-out. Wonderful support group, even if most of you were there to heckle everyone else.
Thank you, Fandom, for an interesting day. You all talk far too much and don't play enough poker. But you can't play poker without inviting me. It's in the school rulebook. Go and check if you have to.
This, my fellow Fandomoniums, is DJ Hawk signing off. Stay safe, drink plenty of fluids and don't forget to tip your waitress. Good night!
