My Dragonfly


I have my own little aspirations. One day I want to open a prep school. Similar to Lorelai's inn, but much less likely. Actually I think that is one of the reasons that I like Gilmore Girls so much. She lives in the sort of town I've always wanted, has the sort of kid I'd hope to have, (she isn't married and the kid has begun whoring around, but still) and she has an almost far-fetched scheme to open an inn.

Of course my pipedreams are not as politically correct and involve less pregnancy out of wedlock, but it's still a cute little other-world to watch wistfully, Tuesdays at 8.

But mostly I was wondering, how would I separate the kids at the school? And how? I like the house Ideas. Stolen directly from Harry Potter, yes I know. But nevertheless- what would be a good way to decide who goes where? Or Perhaps each house would have a theme and the children would apply? But I wasn't going to restrict it to only a bording school, since it would likely be near if not in the middle of a town and I think it is stupid to restrict the townschildren who maybe would like to attend my awesome school but would prefer not to have to live away from home.

Of course at the rate of my ambitiousness, this is not very likely. But you'll have to excuse me. I have to clean the kitchen so that I can go to bed at a reasonable time so that I can get up at a stupidly early time so that I can swim with Katie so that I can feel better especially after I just ate a goodly share of an extra large pizza. And pepsi. Mmm... pepsi. But too much pizza. I don't think that there are even any crusts left.

Mep. A wealthy benefactor would be nice. The school-opening shindig would be so much easier. Blarg. And I still haven't had my Gilmore cravings fulfilled.
