Sooooooo... I overslept and didn't start my cleaning until after four in the afternoon, but my room is now 100% cleaner than it was before. I packed up the tree (sadness) and I'm in the middle of enough laundry to drive a person insane (towels/bath mats/bedding take forever) so I have to stay up a bit longer. Meh.

Tomorrow/today (however you want to look at it), I'm thinking I'll start my "Send Grace Back In Time" project which basically involves trying on a few outfits from various time periods to see if anything sticks/looks adorable/looks fantastically awful. :p

Re-reading Dawn And The Impossible Three reminded me of a few things:
1) Charlie has just gotten his license when the Thomas family moves across town and he's in that stage where you agree to anything in order to use the car. That is why he's agreed so readily to be Kristy's chauffeur. And then the time loop starts and he's stuck there forever.
2) At this point in time Dawn is my favorite for a few reasons. She thinks Karen talks too much and she likes Janine. She's cool with people eating burgers and hot dogs and is even the one to suggest it while her mother's going, "ew, yuck." She eats gummy worms and wears a shirt that says Genius Inside. She handles the no gun thing easily and is even better at correcting Buddy's opinion on aprons being for girls. Seriously, this Dawn is my Dawn.
3) I find it incredibly unlikely that Dawn would know profusely and proficient but not redundant.
4) As the series progresses I stopped thinking of the barn as an actual barn but here it's got nameplates on the stalls and it's actually a barn, not just kid central.

Pretty much YES to all things Dawn-related. It makes me sad - and mad, now that I'm rereading the CA Diaries - that she became such a crazy bitch by the end of the series, because she started out as an interesting character, a true individual (before the ghosties started Capitalizing Their One Personality Trait). Another favorite of mine for her storyline is SS#3. No surprise, since it's a mostly forgotten SS that comes before the insipid SS#4...

I keep thinking I should re-read the diaries but I vividly remember hating what they did to Dawn so much that I'm not sure I want to dive back in. I'm sure it would be a little better now that I vaguely remember what happens but I'd still be ticked.

SS3 is one of the superior SSs, truly. Stay strong, Dawn!

I'm only re-reading the CDs because of the fic exchange, trying to come up with some decent ideas for the prompts I was given. Since its due in less than a month, yeah. It seemed a re-read was highly in order, haha. Dawn is insufferable. Sunny is especially insufferable. Bleh.

The Sunny thing is pretty impressive because the default reaction is to give her a lot of leeway because of the whole dying mother angle and she STILL manages to piss away most of the goodwill extended to her.
