Well Wikipedia has a lot to say about Fridays. More than I cared to know:
Friday (pronunciation IPA: /ˈfraɪdeɪ,
ˈfraɪdi/) is the day of the week falling between Thursday and Saturday. It is
the sixth day in countries that adopt a Sunday-first convention. In ISO 8601, in
work-based customs, and in countries adopting Monday-first conventions, it is
the fifth day of the week. (See Days of the week for
more on the different conventions.)
In most countries with a five-day work
week, Friday is the last workday before the weekend and is, therefore, viewed as
a cause for celebration or relief. In some offices, employees are allowed to
wear less formal attire on Fridays, known as Casual Friday or
Dress-Down Friday. In Saudi Arabia & Iran, however, Friday is the last
day of the weekend and Saturday is the first workday. Moreover, in some
countries, Friday is the first day of the weekend, and Sunday is the first
workday. Friday is also used as a substitute for "drunk, or drinking". For
example a "Friday" Party would be one that has alcohol. Or a person that "was
friday'd" would be somebody that was drunk.
In astrology Friday is connected
with the planet Venus. This associates Friday with
love, peace, and relaxation, as well as with emotional intensity and quashed
dreams. It is also connected with the Astrological signs Libra and Taurus.
Yo, I'm getting "friday'd" up later! That term is almost like "barthed up", only being barthed up is so much better! The only other thing I like is that Friday is associated with "quashed dreams". That's because when you get up on Friday morning for work, your dreams of staying in bed are quashed. (Sidebar: quashed is a funny word - maybe I'll go out and get "quashed" tonight!)
In other news, if I could be anyone I'd be Warren Buffet. Thank GOODNESS someone finally said something. He's buying stocks. Because he's smart, and not dumb. Buy now, while the prices are low. It'll be worth it in about 5 years!
Also, Sarah Palin - the real Sarah Palin - will be on SNL this weekend. It's bound to be pretty hilarious - especially if her and Tina Fey do a twin routine.
Happy Friday everyone, congrats on getting through another looonnnnng week.
