Pun-believeable

Listening to Vince Guaraldi Christmas music. I'm starting early this year, guys. I got a taste of fall last week and I am not letting go. Bring on the candy corn. 
Not sleeping because there's a full moon and that's when the werewolves come out - kidding. It's really bright and it shines in my window because my blinds were lost in a tragic jumping-on-the-bed incident a few years ago (read: last year) so I can't sleep.
    I went pun-crazy this past week, guys. "Crazy-pants," as my friend Hannah Cynthia Lane says. I had some help, of course, but my oh my did I make some jokes. Here are a few to tide you over until I get all my Letters in order (they're scattered among all my school notes).
    [When discussing my steak with my friend Johnny]

• Me: "I want my steak rare!"
• Johnny: "That rarely happens. ha ha."
• Me (this one was completely unintentional): "HA! Well done!"

    [Discussing my American Literature professor]

• "He was still barking on about Hawthorne." Get it? Because a hawthorn is a tree? Barking? Laugh, please. I beg you.

    [Background: Did you know that Ralph Waldo Emerson had a son named Waldo who died, and this death and the death of his wife were highly influential in his writing?]

• "Where's Waldo? DEAD." Sorry, that one was a little harsh, but I found it morbidly funny. 

    [This one was in a note to my friend Hayden during American Literature]

• Alright, can we be done with Hawthorne and move on to Poe?
• Professor: "Now, you read in the Poe story..."
• Yes!!
• Professor: "But when you look back at Hawthorne..."
• Quoth the professor: Nevermore.

    Side note: I'm trying to be more organized this semester, guys. I'm trying really hard. My room is all clean and pretty, and my books are all organized. I even bought a planner. I'm still trying to get my blogging schedule worked into my school-work-homework schedule, but it's going to happen, I promise!
