end of an era: a series of questions for you

[ltgmars]

Today we finished painting. We did the kitchen last time, and today we spent the day prepping (cleaning the walls, taping up the floorboards, etc.), and then we painted. Basically the rest of the interior of the house -- the entire first floor, up the stairs to the second-floor hallway. As detail-work painter, I had the distinct privilege of risking my life atop a very tall ladder to reach the tippity-top corner of the side of the house. I don't know whose idea it was to make the youngest, prettiest, darlingest, smartest, most precious (only) daughter do something that dangerous. Do you know whose idea it was?

Question 1: Who deserves a nice, big punch in the face?
(A) The youngest, prettiest, darlingest, smartest, most precious (only) daughter.
(B) Certainly not the [...] daughter.

The correct answer is (B). I think my mother enjoyed watching my trauma (though when the ladder started wobbling and I started wailing, she did hold it for me, so she's forgiven).

Somewhere between 11:30am and 1am (I spent the entire day on this project, you see), I was able to come upstairs for a break. I briefed myself on the world's happenings, though I unfortunately wasn't able to check much out. Hopefully you guys can help me figure out which of these is false:

Question 2: Which of you goobers lied to me?
(A) She who claims the existence of something called the "Purple Cow House of Pancakes".
(B) He who says he wants his fan back from me.
(C) She who called about the kittens.
(D) He who says he can't tell that the walls are a different color now.

The answer here is (C). I know not of which kittens you speak.

So after hours of prep and hours of painting (me with a little paintbrush clenched in my fist), I finally was able to take a shower and wash off whatever flecks of paint (shame) were still on me. When I was done, though, I had a lot of trouble getting out of the tub.

Question 3: What's wrong with me?
(A) I'm tired.
(B) I'm sore.
(C) I'm an idiot.
(D) Montana.
(E) All of the above.

The correct answer is (E). There are a lot of things I blame on Montana. One of those things is Will (ohhhhh!). (It's times like these that make me wish he had an LJ. He or any of my other college friends who know him personally. Anyone? Anyone?)

That's all for now. How'd you guys do on the quiz?

Off to bed soon. We'll see if I can move tomorrow. (Also, I think I sat on my Blackberry one too many times, and now the trackball navigates but doesn't select when I click. FML. I'm going to go ask my father about the warranty... D:

ETA: We're going to the Verizon store on Monday. Hopefully they'll have the good sense to replace it for free.)
