Dear Adriane,
Your Blog is hilarity in itself (you witty English major, you). There are some life gems I'd like to pass down to you in response to topics covered over there at YoAdriane.
Let me have a crack-a-lack at it.
1. 
For all your Primary woes refer to the movie Matilda. Laugh your head off, then go to lds.org for some real Primary advice.

P&P (BBC mini version) is the best. Too many people like the Kiera "skeletor" Knightley version. Please don't ever go to the dark side sis!

You are an Anglophile, just admit it. Do you talk to yourself in an English accent? Do you secretly wish you could have a cottage, a garden, an awesomely witty tongue and a friend named Gandalf? Mmmhmm I knew it.

6. When you are day dreaming what presents to give people if you had a million dollars, get me new energy saver windows and a truck load of Lindt chocolates. Thanx
7. I have two words for your Retro Pad. "embrace it" Unless the carpets stink cause they're too old. If that's the case then buy an area rug.
8. Back to Primary--kids like to be caught doing something (it gives them attention even if it is negative). So instead of getting after the kids who are acting up reward the kids who are reverent (make the loud ones jealous). Let the good kids be "caught being reverent". S's primary in Utah used this tactic and it worked so well S still wants to implement it during our FHEs. You basically have a basket of goodies (candy/cheap toys). Print "Caught being reverent" on paper and hand them out during Primary to the quiet ones. Let them cash it in at the end--everyone with a ticket gets to pick out of the basket and let the incentive work it's magic. Besides this way lets you avoid using Trunchbowl tactics.
