Ode to Jamie

I officially have the best little brother in the world.

For Christmas? He went into my closet, found the ball gown I'm planning to be wearing for my occasion in 1 (one) month's time, (which is a beautiful shimmery burgundy red) and, tossing it rather indelicately in a canvas bag (something that did no lasting damage) set off.

He walked it up to the drug store, took it out in front of the make-up lady, and said 'She's wearing this. What does she need?'

I now have the worlds most GORGEOUS make up to go with it, and hair clips.



And you know what?
This kid is 13. That makes him pretty fucking special in my books.

Happy Christmas, love.

I can't remember how long the commentaries were supposed to be.
Nor do I, in fact OWN the Great Gatsby.

Bgeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, k'i borrow? Later.

We're actually heading up to the lake (again) for christmas! (the orthodox part, with the kutya, eushki, petah-heh and such.)

So that's crappy, because Sally, Emily, Xander AND MB are all running around shrieking, Granny's having a nervous breakdown in the kitchen because the rosehip pastries are coming out crappy, and Grampa's wearing earplugs even though he's deaf as a post. Uncle Paul's legs are acting up, Chris is in the corner snogging his GF (some dutch freaky girl named Inga 0.0) Jamie's playing airhockey with adam, and peter's trying to get me to go play cards with him.





God help me, I'm fucked.

Oh dear.

Well, you can borrow my Great Gatsby once I've read it, but I warn you - I probably won't finnish it until the day before school starts. :/

We have to do three commentaries, each one is supposed to be a page long with the quote at the top. It's not too bad I guess. And to tell you the truth, I didn't mind Running in the Family that much. It was actually a pretty good book. I just hate it becuase I'm forced to read it. :P

I love RitF. It's actually really good, and I'm half way done. Slash, totally going to pick random quotes and skim it. *shrug* Seeing as it HAS NO PLOT.

The commentaries I can do in a day, and GG I could read in a night if I had to. Maybe I'll hunt down someone else's copy. My main focus is on learning lines, atm. *burns script*

Heh. It really does have no plot. Oh well. I liked the poetry. I've actually forgotten most of it because I read is yesterday and I can't remember much of yesterday.

Anyway, we don't have to read GG until the second day of school becuase we don't have English on Monday.

I think I need more coffee. *sleeps*

And even then, she can't possibly drop a unit test on us the first day back. I'd say we have until friday to sort it out, so I'm cool. XD

What the heck were you up to last night? :( I was at home being flu-ish. Did stay up to watch the year roll by, though. Cough, like I'm not up that late anyways.



And eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Rent sound track for christmas!

:O YAY! RENT!

I was at a NON-ALCOHOLIC Party at Kirsten's house. Most of us stayed over because our parents wouldn't have wanted to pick us up that late. We basically didn't sleep the entire night.

Everyone got tired at around 1, and I was laughing becuase that's early. :P We night-owls.
