Excitement and Headaches 9

Now I am carrying on from my fan-like screams from yesterday. As I was saying, my Homestar Runner things had arrived. Or had they?
I went to collect them with my Grandad today. Of course, the journey was not solely to collect them. We did other things... and then headed down to the post office. I climbed inside the building, and fished for the required ticket. I've done this process so many times, and each time it creeps me out even more. My Grandad had already pressed the buzzer for IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, however I would have felt much better pressing it myself, in my own time. And as quick as a newborn animal, a man slithered out of a room, and snatched my ticket from me. All this time I was spying on some large-looking parcels on the floor. But the man reached up, and pulled out a thin cylinder, and handed it to me. "Is that it??" I almost said. Almost. My Grandad interrupted my urge, and we started going home. Well, waiting half an hour for a bus which comes every 10 minutes. Which strangely reminded me of a Matt (from the Daily Telegraph) comic... It went along the lines of, "I'm sorry I'm late for work. My train was on time, I fainted and missed it." But it came.
So what was in this mystery package? No mystery. I knew what it was. It was the 'Everybody, everybody' poster. Basically, this is virtually every H*R character shown on the series, in a poster. (I later tried to put it in my room, but it kept falling down. Maybe I need some bluetack.) About 5 minutes after arriving at Grandad's, I was informed by my Dad that a big package had come for me. Damn or yay? You decide. And yes, it was the rest of my merch. I say 'YAY' at the moment. However, I do have a headache. ♪ It drives me crazy... ♪
But now, I have awards to give out. Please take the time to read them all. OK: Homestar Runner figurines awards!!
Best detail award goes to: Pom Pom. Well, actually, that's not really fair. Pom Pom doesn't have much detail anyway.
2nd best detail award goes to: Homestar. Again, not that much detail, but he still looks cool.
3rd best detail award goes to: Bubs. I SWEAR his eyes and mouth are stickers.
Worst detail award goes to: Strong Mad. What the crap happened?? I mean, his eyes and eyebrows look like someone rubbed sand paper over them after painting. And you can totally see the glued-on top to him. Plus, it looks like he's wearing lipstick. Correction: He is wearing lipstick.
2nd worst detail award goes to: Marzipan. She was so close to becoming 1st. Anyway, it looks like a child painted her, and left little marks all over her, in summary.
3rd worst detail award goes to: Strong Bad (with megaphone and bucket hands). He wouldn't be so bad if the wet The Cheat in his bucket hand didn't have so many sh1ttily-painted soap-suds on him.
Hardly recognisable award goes to: The Cheat. The Cheat doesn't look like The Cheat that much. And his eyes are half-painted over. Aaw.
2nd hardly recognisable award goes to: Strong Sad. His mouth... it's different. It'd not sad enough. And his arms, they're like, paper-thin. I can appreciate the difficulty in doing that weird curved bit on his head, but...
Too much detail award goes to: The Poopsmith. There is a difference between 'too much' and 'best'. And I don't really like the back-stand they have to him.
2nd too much detail award goes to: Homestar (running). He has that stand to the back of him again. Oh, and he has more detail put into him than t'other Homestar.
Retarded-looking award goes to: The King of Town. Well, he does look weird. His eyes are not near the centre of his head. But, let's face it, the KOT looks retarded anyway. (BWAA-HAA-HAA-HAA, jus' kidding!)
2nd retarded-looking award goes to: Coach Z. He looks fine, but his cap is at an unusual angle compared to his head. In this case, it looks like it's about to fall off. And it makes his head look a weird shape.
Stan Laurel look-alike award goes to: Strong Bad. He looks fine, appart from his abnormally long neck. And so he reminds me of Stan Laurel. For some reason.
I've got a dirty great big thumbprint on the back of me award goes to: Homsar. He gets this award for obvious reasons. Appart from this fault, he's next to perfect.
But I'm not complaining as such. I'm happy with them all. Happy happy happy.
That's it. Show's over. Awards have been given to everyone. Stay for the after-show buffet or get out.

You're back? You mean you left? I thought you just abandoned me :(
Thank you for the congrats. Did your things come, too? You said you were waiting for some JB books

They still ain't been ordered yet. We only came back... a little while ago. from Brighton. Today. We got evacuated from our ritzy hotel (AKA Travelodge).
Ah, I see. What is Travelodge like, anyway? I always see one, but I've never actually been inside one...
