it smells likes ugly people in here
ok. i cannot go to school tomorrow. i just can't. this week needs to be over, now.
weekend re-cap!
friday we (me, nell, jo, rachel, e. bean, and stutz) went to el loco! (I always thought el loco should have an exclamation point, it's crazy!) we had a lovely conversation about how freakish home schooled kids are. ha, they can have class rings. "mixers". afterward we waddled (it seemed approp, don't worry about it) on over to ben and jerry's where i wish to return shortly so that I can lock someone in the ice cream basement there. probably a certain "president adams" child, hopefully.
saturday, mamasita and i went to the mall. i loathe the mall. i cannot handle being there, but alas I often find myself sucked into its powers. i got a skirt and a nice green khaki jacket...i officially have too many jackets/coats. then we went on over to greek FESTIVAL. i need to vent about something now: I do not understand why "greek fest" (it pains me to call it that) is such an event for people my age at least in ahn. at least two weeks prior to the event i heard people in the hallway saying, "OMG! I CANNOT WAIT FOR GREEK FEST! IT IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME THIS YEAR! I LOVE GREEK FEST!". Here's my question: what the hell is so special about st. sophia's annual greek festival. i go every year and all i can see that they have is food (not good greek food either), small children dancing, and old mean pushy greek women. where is the appeal in this? why is this an event?! it's a church function! is there some underground partying going on there that i am unaware of?, i doubt it. ... The only thing that is fun about greek fest is my mother pointing at people and saying "they're not greek" "they're definitely not greek" "not greek either". The greek culture is an elite club. they think they are the best and they think everyone else are far below them on the earth ranking of the best group of people. Visiting with my greek family is nuts. they need to stop. now.
...later that same saturday we (me, nell, e.bean, and mahoney) headed out to boston to go see the strokes. we had some time to kill before the show while we were in boston so we decided to get something to eat. i really wanted to go to a nice restaurant but to my dismay, the rest of the crowd just wanted fast food. i was a very unhappy camper. so unhappy that I actually said to mahoney, "this place smells like ugly people". but it was not that weird, it really did. if you think like ali does, dirty people are ugly people and dirty people smell so using some crazy algebraic rule ugly people in turn smell. ... i don't like boston. they need to stop catering to tourists, its weird.
the concert was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! we all snagged ourselves some free posters and at the end of the night were all drenched (i am not exaggerating, unfortunately) in our own sweat. it was nasty but so much fun. "This isn't a baseball game" "You're making me sick" "Shut the FUCK up!" These losers sitting in front of us left a quarter of the way through the show b/c it was so hot. who leaves a show because its too hot? only fools.
i leave with a parting quote:
scene::ali and nellie driving at night somewhere in the jungle of bethlehem, as we see a deer ahead...
nellie: woah, that deer is skinny
ali: ok nellie, are we getting to the point where we are jealous of deer?
