Cucurbita pepo
Hi.
Um.
Hi.
Oh, did I say that already? Damn.
See, there have been a lot of new people around here the last few days. And see, I? Have this thing? With new people? Where I? Turn into a pumpkin. Seriously. It is like my fairy godmother shows up but she is drunk or mad at me for borrowing her shoes or something and poof! Bam! Bang! I am a pumpkin. (While I’m on the subject, if any of you ever actually run into me, you should totally come say hi and try to talk to me. You will get a good old jolly laugh out of watching me turn into a pumpkin right before your very eyes. It is so much more fun in person.)
Anyway, you know what pumpkins do right? Nothing. No thing. Certainly not talk. Nooooo.
Dum da dum. Dum da dum. Dum da….
Wait! Stop! No more pumpkin! But now what do I do? Talk! Talking is good. I’ll tell jokes! No wait, bad idea. What if the jokes aren’t funny and nobody laughs and they all just point and go hey get a load of that pumpkin trying to be funny. No jokes.
I’ve got it! I will be a brainiac! That will be Impressive and Elucidating and Awe-Inspiring! I can be a brainiac on a wide variety of topics, such as Gothic cathedrals or DNS routing or the Sistine Chapel or comparative religion. Or how about Greek mythology? Or just Greek! Yes, that’s it! I will speak Greek and you will all be so impressed you will love me immediately and buy me gifts!
No, wait. Bad idea again. Pumpkin. Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin.
So anyway, hello new people. I am happy that you are here and I would give you all great big hugs except that I am having this little pumpkin problem right now and pumpkins have no arms. I will get over myself soon and go back to whining and complaining and posting all the crazy things in my head because I have no shame. And in the meantime, you should check out my blogroll because it is full of truly Impressive and Elucidating and Awe-Inspiring people and you will madly madly love them. Swear.

Posted by: Mir at July 11, 2004 03:44 PMMmmm...pumpkin!
I like the speaking Greek idea. That could be cool. Just sayin'...
Posted by: Empress at July 11, 2004 04:14 PMThanks for visiting!! Love the look and love the site. I'll be back more often. And, if you think you're a pumpkin, I'd say you're a pretty damn cool pumpkin.
Posted by: Krush at July 11, 2004 10:27 PMI guess that would make Chris the fairy tale character Peter. You know Peter Peter, pumpkin eat.....oh wait, that's coming off badly.
Never mind.
Hehe. GOod morning, Beth!
Posted by: Buzz at July 12, 2004 07:09 AMYeah, the fairy godmother is snitty like that. Stay on her good side.
Me, I've been locked in a tower by a witch, and with this short haircut of mine, things are looking Grimm.
(I never met a pun I could resist.)
Posted by: Debbie at July 12, 2004 11:00 AMPumpkin or not, I guess you'll just have to get use to all us new people dropping by. Hope you had a great weekend.

Posted by: Casey at July 12, 2004 03:16 PMAt least you could be like the Great Pumpkin that Linus is always looking for. That's how I'll imagine you at least. I'm going to keep dropping by, so don't get freaked out or pressured to be witty. Really, because you seem pretty cool with out trying anyhow.
