"I gave myself to him,
And took himself for pay.
The solemn contract of a life
Was ratified this way."
~XXI, first stanza, Emily Dickinson
Yes, :::sob sob::: I'm still grounded. I cleaned the house yesterday, though, so my mom told me I could have a half hour to call someone. I called my guy first, he wasn't avalible :::more sobs::: so then I called Hugglebunny for a bit before talking to Jem. We're planning the last-minute details of the 2nd Steed Family Reunion of November 19th, 2005. We still have to call and contact a few people before it's perfecto-mungo. Anyone know where I can buy the game "Apples to Apples"?
I had mutuals yesterday, which was really fun, even if I did find out two of my friends who were going to the dance on Saturday (2 days!!!!!!!!!) can't come after all. I'm kind of relieved, which I know is awful, but I didn't want to deal with the drama. Besides, that'd mean I'd have to amuse them, when really all I want to do is follow around my guy like the lovesick puppy I am. I know, patheticness to the extreme, but I'm lacking human contact here. Ugh. Mutuals...mutuals....Oh yeah, we finished doing the skits for the "10 Minutes Film Fest." It was hilarious, Lauren, Ashley, and me got to act like 'smokers' (with chalk, ick!) and the guys, Ben, Paul, and Adam got to drowl over us until they realized we had 'ash-tray mouth'. The whole theme is "Living The Standards" so it went along well.
I think I am going to pound my head into my keyboard. I can't stand this. First, I can't figure out a way to get past Bess, our school firewall thingy that blocks everything from Alistsongs to Xanga. GAH! Second, I'll die if I go much longer without a phone. Thrid....TWO MORE FREAKIN' DAYS UNTIL THE DANCE! ::
oes jig:::
Okay...I guess I'm feeling slightly better...
But then I think about all the blackmail Jem now has on me and I feel a little bit quesy. Ugh!
Has anyone ever wondered why they called nationalities 'races'? I think there's probably a story behind this!
