Apt Smile-Back

Spent today getting murderous blisters from my sandals and wearing G's Orange Crush t-shirt. It says "Have a crush on me" across the back, which was possibly the aptly last bit of me Necker saw of me today after promising to write me a note tomorrow. That made me smile.



Then Rasheed held shut the door I was trying to go through, tried to throw me down some concrete steps, and then did it again. "Saved your life twice!" I don't often flip people off.

Bollywood recently bought a ton of practically every type of Goldfish crackers. "Y'know, I have some in my room, some in the living room, some in the den, bag in the dining room, a bag in the kitchen... I think I even have some in my bathroom."

In Britian, Bryn's homestay family freaked out when she asked if she could snack on Goldfish. They don't have the crackers, you see.

"Everyone has an excuse to get bad grades sometimes," is what Necker said when I was being down about getting a D on the second part of my math test. It would help, I think, to stop spending quite so much of eighth period finishing off notes to him or sleeping. (And with some of the random rubbish that goes into the notes, I'm convinced I've been doing both at once.)

Unknown quotients, you must be using potions
How else could you tie my head to the sky?
This new confection has left me wondering why,
I can't concern myself with ordinary tripe

Like what's this morning's paper got to say,
And which brand of coffee to make,
This is no umbrella to take into the wind
But before we begin, is there nothing to kill this anxiety?

P.S. Bouncy A, Sly S, anybody like that, is it at all possible I could stay with you for the weekend? Please? I don't want to go to Wisconsin! Hooray! Anna isn't going to Wisconsin after all!
