Sounds like someone had a more productive day than I did. I read the yearbook. Not quite as soul-shaking.

reading a book of philosophical fragments isn't really productive as much as it is amusing. the whole going to school thing was definitely out of the question, though, because i feel pretty shitty.

so jean baudrillard, WoW, and dawn of the dead (2004 version) it was!

again, yikes.

Dawn of the Dead? Oh no! I'm such a pussy about zombies.

pssh, that movie isn't even scary.

Oh, speaking of zombies....not really. Do you want me to pick you up on my way to school tomorrow for the AP Exam? Extra half hour of sleep because you're sick and all. Call me (777-1059) if yes because I don't know if I'll be online anymore tonight. Feelin' lazy.

thanks a lot for the offer. i didn't read this until right now, though, and right now i am sitting in the yearbook room. thanks again, though, i totally would've taken you up on it, haha.

LOL, way to go. Did you ever get a yearbook?

___arcades May 10 2007, 23:17:30 UTC

eh, no. is it too late?

the family's a little strapped for cash but i'm going to try to get one next week...

shameless_girl May 10 2007, 23:33:39 UTC

Never too late. I'll hold one for you if need be.

Because you're a comment nazi and don't want any one to comment on your most recent (060807) entry... I'm doing it here, in hopes that someday soon you'll see it and respond accordingly...:

Dude, we have so much in common it's fucking ridiculous.. Every single word in that was like reading someone narrating a better vocab-ed version of my life.

We should really hang out more.
