Waiting for the great pumpkin

We've all seen It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, right? It's the one where Linus believes a Great Pumpkin will visit the "most sincere" pumpkin patch and bring all the kids presents? It's Halloween and he convinces Lucy to stay with him all night and wait for the Pumpkin (which never comes) and she gets really mad?

Well, that's kind of like what happened to all the people that thought the world was going to end on Saturday. As you can see, it's Sunday and we're all still here. And the world isn't being slowly destroyed. We're all fine. No one was "raptured." And I wasn't surprised. But thousands of 'believers' were. They truly thought that something was going to happen yesterday at 6pm, and nothing did. (Hahaha, losers.) So that's why I'm comparing them to Linus and the Great Pumpkin.

I, for one, am immensely glad that the world did not end. Of course, I didn't want to do my English homework, but I had plans for today! Today is our theater banquet! And by 'banquet' they mean 'potluck in the cafeteria.' But, even still, I'm looking forward to it. I baked mini chocolate cupcakes.

Hey, by the way, you know what's really good? Wegman's raspberry lemonade.
