I, Amras ‘the Great’ Elensar, hereby declare today an international ‘Yay Me!’ day.
This is in accordance with the Laws of Yayness* which clearly states that any person who feels especially yay-worthy or thoroughly awesome, may declare themselves a limited** number of ‘Yay-Days’ to celebrate an especially epic feat that they’ve recently accomplished. You may also declare up to three consecutive days a ‘Yay Me-Holiday’***, though these are heavily restricted and misuse of the ‘Holiday’ possibility will result in a week-long ‘Nay-You!’ correctional behaviour convention where participants are forced to listen to ‘My Chemical Romance’ and watch Japanese animé till their inherent yay-factor is sufficiently lowered****.
Why is this an International ‘Yay Me!’ day?
Because I passed the theoretical part of my Driver’s Exam today on my first try, and I only got a single answer wrong (out of seven). If I had failed this test I’d have to redo it in a fortnight’s time, which would, you know, be inconvenient with all the other tests and exams I have at that time. But the inconvenience would be nothing compared to the amount of ridicule and scorn I avoided by not failing. This would’ve be one of those things that my sisters would hold over my head till the day I die, always reminding and nagging me about the fact that they passed it on their first try and I didn’t. Hah! Showed them, didn’t I?
*A mysterious yet almighty law that only slightly apocalyptic bloggers have full access to.
** Every person (or extra-terrestial that has been granted a temporary citizenship) may declare themselves a number of maximum three and five quarters ‘Yay Days’ in one year. Limiting factors include: Being Swedish, Not Knowing How To Appropriately Quote Monty Python and the much disscussed; Liking Hugh Jackman. Extra ‘Yay-Days’ can be granted if you are Joss Whedon (or closely related), Neil Gaiman (or closely related) or Scott Lynch (or if you simply have ‘Lynch’ somewhere in your name).
*** To decalre a ‘Yay Me Holiday’, you have to file a request to the International Committee of Yayness, which will judge your need based on your answers to these questions: 1. Will there be pineapples present during your adulation? 2. Will the pineapples be wearing suits or dressing gowns? 3. What is the air-speed velocity of a pineapples? Et cetera ad infinitum.
**** i.e. just above the Swedes.

Yay you!
I also hereby declare a ‘Yay Me!’ Day for myself, since I also passed the theoretical part of the Drivers Exam today:D
I’m not going to celebrate any “yay me” day before I’ve successfully moved this site.
Hmm.. Didn’t I add simple footnotes for you guys?
I don’t adhere to Yay Me-celebrational traditions (it’s a religious thing, sorry) but I’ll throw you a spare Hooray You-Day I had on carry-over from 07.
Hooray You!
Yes, yay to you to, my good sir NiceViolence. You did indeed do very well for yourself. We are both thouroughly awesome today.
@Zhayena: I belive you did, but I was too lazy to bother figuring ‘em out. Sorry
@Loki: Which religion would that be? And thanks for the ‘Hooray You’-ness you threw my way.
Even if it was a bloody carry-over.
It’s like:
Here is something ((and here is footnote))
and then the automagic begin
If you don’t use it I’ll remove it and will never add it back again..
Seems simple enough. I’ll make a note of using ‘em the next time I feel like making my blog posts especially hard to read
“Yay you”. Congrats on you Driver’s Exam. Soon I have to declare a “yay me” day too.
Which religion? I daresay just about any of them. ;D
