Good morning.
I met your mom, nia... but I don't know if that's what you meant.
Anyway, thanks. Would've been nice.
And that's exactly why I'm afraid; if I told them, they wouldn't trust me. Understandably so.
I'm afraid my parents'll find out about Facebook because now there's a high school version, which means my brother knows about it.
ETA -- I'm going to try to take a picture of my non-existant hair later today. If it comes out, you guys can see it.
Grrrrrr, I am not a happy person right now. Someone please provide me with some happy thoughts before I scream.
What's the matter?

He's actually been fairly light on the delete button lately. Maybe that's his New Years' resolution.
nia, are you on AIM? PM me or something -- I need to talk to you.
Fantabulous, The Nutcracker should be fun, right?
My friends are just being really ****ty. Ok, I need to vent so I'm just going to ramble. Someone offered me 2 tickets to The Nutcracker for free yesterday, actually they were offered to my mother and me. My mom let me have them and I invited my best friend. We were supposed to have a brunch with about 5 other friends from high school, one of which returns to school on Monday and I have yet to see. I got up early this morning, took the subway to 110th street to pick up the tickets, and arrived at the restaurant where we were supposed to have lunch exactly on time. I call my friend, and she's at home in Queens. She said people had cancelled and since it was just the 2 of us, she just didn't get her act together. No apology, nothing. She could have called me; she knew I was getting up early to go uptown. This type of stuff happens all the time and I'm just sick of it. Why can't people just be considerate? Ok, vent over.
So you can't go? That's not fair of them.
My mom just stormed in to yell at me. Great.
Well I'm still going to the ballet. But now there's no lunch. I'm sitting on my bed being pissed. And it should be fun, but I'm going to see it with the person I'm primarily pissed at.

Fantab, that's really rotten. I can't believe someone would just dump you like that. Go find some chocolate.
I'm not on AIM, I'm trying to finish a paper.
I guess you should say something, because she should've called you -- but you don't want to ruin the day.
That reminds me! I forgot to give you my extra chocolate! I just brought it home, but my mom ate it before I could.
Good luck with your paper. This sounds ridiculous, but I'm so bored that I sort of wish I had work to do. I hate feeling so useless.
Yea, I'm talking to my mom right now and she says I shouldn't let it go because it'll just happen again. But, I don't want it to ruin the day.
I don't know, maybe I'm just too nice or something. I always feel bad cancelling on people, and I would NEVER just not show up somewhere if there were people depending on my being there. Clearly, she had no problem completely ditching me, which makes me question why she can do that and I can't. Now, not only am I pissed off, but I'm hurt as well.
*hands Em my college applications* There ya go! Be useful.

I'd kill to be bored.
Fantab, bring it up later. The next time she asks you to do something, tell her that you want to know about any and all changes in plans.
I was going to help my brother write a paper, but I think he'll throw a knife at me if I go anywhere near him. He can do it himself.
I can't wait til I start working. Five days.
Fantabulous, I think it's ok to just say "next time if something like this happens, call me," but don't drag it out. Just let her know that, and let it go. Don't let it ruin the show. I heart The Nutcracker.
Working? As in, a job, or school?
And Em, you did indeed forget to give me chocolate! *runs to look for chocolate*
I'm going back to the city next week; I need something to do, and the people I worked with over the summer could use an extra hand planning some fundraisers, so I'm going to go help them out until school starts again.
Fantabulous, you should definitely let your friend know that you're upset about what she did. It's better to let it out than it is to just let the anger simmer inside, and since it's not like she can wave a magic wand and undo what she did, I wouldn't worry about ruining the day by telling her how you feel about it.
Oh! That reminds me! I was going to say that maybe you could tell your mom that BWW people are Second Stage people. I mean, that's plausible, right? Anyone you are meeting up with could be a "fellow intern" or something.
Yea, we'll see. She's much better at calling me out on my crap than I am at calling her out on her crap.

I wish I could have an actual break. I've gotten up every day this week and done homework. I haven't had a day away from school since June.
I'm F*CKing fed up with this stupid program. When I get back to school, I might drop out.

Since no one is talking to me otherwise, I might as well talk to myself. Thanks.
Nia, you are in the exact situation I am, and it sucks. That's what we get for being overachievers.
nia, how far are you into all of the work you have? In high school I used to have to read like four books and write two papers over break, but that was between two classes (history and English) and I luckily didn't get much work in the others. When I did that science research program I always used breaks to catch up, though, so that was time-consuming.
I'm like that, Fantabulous; I rarely call people out on anything. Look at what happened with my rooommate.

I have another paper to write and the one I just 'finished' (it's not long enough) is half-assed. I'm also way behind in my artwork because it takes F*CKing longer than a week to produce sixty pages!!!
There is absolutely no reason for me to be doing this. None at all.
