Guess what we just got as assigned reading in English class today?

...

Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried.

*air-punch of victory*

I am filled with a combo of trepidation, glee, and also faint amusement at my classmates who, knowing that I've read this book and have preached about it like some kind of Vietnam-based bible, keep coming up and asking me

Comments

I hope to live up to these great expectations! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Really, I blame you for all of this. You're the one who got me interested in the book in the first place. *beams*

Still up for phone raves tomorrow? I'm free pretty much all day after noon, so let me know what timing works for you.

Either eightish or the afternoon would work. We can go for eightish if you'd like. :D I look forward to talking with you! <3

... I'm so jealous of you right now. LUCKY :D :D :D

[starfoozle]

I am feeling like a lucky thing at the moment. :D I'll let you know how it goes.

Also, re: phone raves tomorrow -- do let me know what time works for ya. I'll have to wait a week or two for three-way calling, 'cuz my dad's out of town and is the primary phone-wrangler 'round these here parts, and the only one who can recalibrate our idiot home phones that NEVER DO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ZOMG. (I tried three-way-calling some peeps the other day as an experiment, and my line was being moronic. *curses it* But it shall be remedied in the future.)

!

Shall we say 18:00 my time? That's, like 13:00 your time, I think ...

Well, shite.

Sammy, love, I probably won't be able to call you for a while. I talked to my mom about it and she kind of went off on a yell-rant about the expenses of calling overseas. Apparently that unlimited long-distance we've got only applies within the United States. She says I can still call, just not very often at all. *woe* I am NOT happy.

However, there is a bright spot of hope in this failiciousness. You have a webcam, you said? So do I. granted, I'm on SightSpeed rather than Skype, and I'm not sure the networks are compatable, but worst comes to worst, I'll download skype -- it's free, right? WE WILL MAKE THIS WORK. *hug*

Holy man I'm so envious! I'd have died of joy if I was assigned that book in class (back when i was in school!). Heh May the plotbunnies flourish and breed throughout the assignment! XD

[starfoozle]

I'm psyched. Apparently I'm like second-in-command to the teacher now 'cuz I've read it and know my stuff, and am actually getting people who otherwise wouldn't care to get involved. *victory dance*

I expect the plot bunnies will eat me alive soon, but it won't be bad. :P

[betareject]

Your icon is made of win! ♥

That is so freaking cool! *high5* Good job! I hope you have a blast! And amen for plotbunnies hehe its never that bad. ;)
