Fear my wreath

Cookie Xmas Tree, originally uploaded by All you need is Cupcakes!.

In middle school, I used to write these alarmingly long (70+ pages!) fantasy stories that borrowed a little too liberally from a certain Mr. Tolkien. One of the few bits I still remember was when Almaraz, the villain, threatened my elven main character with the following sentence: “Soon everyone in the land will fear the wreath of Almaraz.”

Wreath.

Wreath!!

Thanks for nothing, spellcheck.

   The spell check is powerless against words that are technically spelled correctly. =p

   Maybe it’s a really SCARY WREATH.

   Your post just made my day
   It makes me think of the evil wreath from The Nightmare Before Christmas

   *noms cookies*

   Every bit of fanfic I wrote (by hand, in pencil on legal pads) back in the day was soooo dramatic. And bad. It makes me blush with shame.

   I still occasionally dabble in fanfic but I daresay it’s gotten a bit better. And spellchecked! =D

   OMG Flumps!!!! The marshmallows around the tree are these awesome British candies called Flumps. They’re like marshmallow twists, but softer and more buttery.

   Just a few days ago, I was looking at my journal from Kindergarten. My favorite? ME AND MYRANDA IS DIGIG TEH BOWN. I sounded like a lolcat! Translation? My friend and I are doing a “DinoDig” kit.

    The ‘wreath’ may have been bad, but I bet it brought a smile to the face of your English teacher!

    Mmmm, sweet, sugary death!
    Actually, these remind me of the killer Christmas trees in the Doctor Who special The Christmas Invasion.
