Uhgurgle. I have a cold, and was very, very tired and wiped all day. The weather, which was cloudy and dim, didn’t help. We have about a week and a half before the Academic Decathalon competition and I haven’t really prepared at all. Go me, because I rock at not doing things.

My mother just walked in and asked if I’d start making dinner while she and my father and sister went out to pick up my sister’s glasses. I told her I would, if she would write out directions for me, step by step, with measurements and stove settings and everything. She couldn’t do it. I can’t cook without it. It’s just the way our minds work. I need specific directions to do things, especially cook, especially when I’ve never made things before.

We showed our video projects in Spanish today. Greg and Melissa C. and I showed ours, which came out alright. It involved a shoe thief. Some of them were… strange. More than one group incorporated that LAO thing into theirs, some more cleverly than others. If that oh-so-intelligent-and-tasteful meme hasn’t made it to you yet, try this: Write a capital L. Then write a capital A below it so that the top point of the A is on the tip of the lower leg of the L. Then draw an O with the top just touching the bottom of the right leg of the A. If you turn the paper upside down, you should a get a little masturbating guy. I don’t know why I felt the need to explain that. Anyway, the latter half of one girl’s video was composed of her, in a belly shirt, dancing to Selena music. That’s it. There were three or four songs, too. It was very strange, and went on for far too long.

I’m trying as hard as I can to keep this blog free of my friends’ drama. It’s working relatively well so far. It’ll probably only get in here if it starts to involve me directly, or more directly than it is now.
