The dog ate my homework and other classic excuses...

[whattingawhat]

Excuses I’ve used:

1. Mr. Flutie: You burned down the gym…
Me: I did, I really did but…You’re not seeing the big picture here, I mean, that gym was full of vampi-asbestos.

2. Um... uh, there was a, a cat. A cat here, and, um, then there
was a-another cat... and they fought. The cats. And... then they left.

3. Mr. Giles asked me to go get a book for him.

4. He/She/It hurt my boyfriend.

5. She touched my umbrella.

6. Sacred duty…yadda yadda yadda

7. You have fruit punch mouth.

8. I’m going to give them a normal prom if I have to kill everyone on the face of this earth to do it.

9. Kicking ass is comfort food.

10. I've got a mountain of homework to do, and, um... my mom's not
really feeling well, and she could probably use my help, and, um, to be
truthful I'm not really feeling all that well myself.

11. That I'm, uh... in a band. A-a rock band with
Spike here.

ETABecause Faith pointed out that really nothing tops this one...

12. Sorry, I was busy being DEAD.

You sure it's not something in your eye?

I think I stopped making excuses after the whole dead thing but I used to have some very 'dog ate my homework' types.

Yeah damn sure. Oh wait. Yeah that was just my finger.

Yeah once you get to pull the whole "Sorry I was busy being Dead." one out of the bag the rest of it is pretty much shot.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I mean what's gonna top that one?

Now it has to be added to my list

[msattentionspan]

Glad to have made the contribution. See and everyone said I wasn't a team player.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah well, not everyone did the whole cratering Sunnydale thing with you either.

[msattentionspan]

Damn you make it sound like a bad thing that went down.


Look I didn't do it. Anyone reading this thing? Don't look at me like I dropped the town in.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Well it had the mall...and my shoes.

*grin* Nope we can totally, fairly blame Spike for that.

[msattentionspan]

Yeah no loss there for me.

When all else fails blame the vamp. Nice.

Like he doesn't want to take full credit for it? Please, I doubt he's stopped talking about how he was the downfall of Sunnydale since he came back from the undead...or you know whatever you wanna call it.

[msattentionspan]

Wouldn't know I don't really talk to the guy... vamp? Whatever. I'm not big on keeping in on the loop.

There wasn't a newsletter I'm not getting right?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I haven't talked to him since I chewed his ass out for not letting me know he was alive...undead...whatever.


Not since I locked Andrew in the closet and threatened to beat him with his replica lightsaber.
