st_aurafinaI don't even. It's a Baden-Powell nightmare situation:
[Brown tunic and beret, uniform for Brownie Guides, which is the junior version of Girls Guides.]
Anyone want Star Trek Barbie and Ken? I feel like they will go to a better home if I ask here, rather than donating them. Aussies, I'll cover postage. Overseas, it would probably be about $20 postage to anywhere but the US, and $30 to the US because things cost more to send there. Barbie and Ken are claimed!
They're mint!! Or at least, they've never gone outside their protective plastic forcefield.
[Star Trek Barbie and Ken in the box, there are cardboard cutouts of Kirk and Spock]

Date: 2014-09-28 03:25 am (UTC)I was not a good brownie. My overriding memory is of being made to stand on one leg with my hands on my head, in a corner. Because I'd forgotten my knitting.

The internet tells me: "Tintookies are ground-dwelling spirits. They are extremely inquisitive, but their special interest is helping to make wishes come true when deserved. Nobody has ever seen a Tintookie, as they do their good deeds by stealth." (The Australian Brownie Guide Handbook, 1975)"
And here's the whole horrible poem.
