If April 1 is April Fool's Day, would April 2 be April Tool's Day?
Welcome to the first post of my new blog. I don't know what happened to the font on the other one and I'm too scared to go back and fix it. Now you may ask why I started another blog. Well, it occurs to me that everybody is depressed right now for, as Jeff says, "safety schools '10," and I'm not, even though I happen to be a member of this club. Not exactly the 100's Club, which I was a proud member of Sophomore year, back when it was really good.
So basically I need to happy this place up.
You know how I went to school on Friday when I knew what'd

time to write the rest of this in word
ok no, word makes those different apostrophes
You know how I decided to go to school on Friday when I knew that all I'd have on my mind was not getting into Yale Columbia etc and how pointless school was in light of that? That's right. As I said to Greg (yes, you're not reading something that's being instantly thought of; get over it) that Friday morning, "Topsfield got to experience Donna Summer like it ain't never experienced her before." That's right. Windows down, volume knob rotated 'round, She Works Hard for the Money working its magic on the town.
Onetta, there, in the corner, stands, and she WONDERS where she is! And it's STRANGE to her!--- Some people seem to have everything!
For some reason I love, love, love this part of the song. Actually, what's more relevant is that for some reason you don't.
But anyway--- I have to get to the main point here. I'm writing this victory address, short for valedictory address (I'm on top of the cleverness, one might say adroitness game), and overall the Prep didn't do a good job with our class. I am a member of no organized party--I am a speaker for the Prep. (That wasn't so clever.) "Roses are red, some diamonds are blue; chivalry is dead, but you're still kinda cute." It's true. I plan to work that line (by the way, who said that? that's right, the queen of lyrics... Nelly Furtado) into my speech. I mean address. Which is the better word? or who cares
So I have the mission of being really happy for people who really aren't that happy.
Or is it just the honors students relegated to their safety schools and am I messing up?
Whatever.
All I know is that what I'm seeing is not good. I can only name one of my teachers who gets respect from the majority of his or her seniors. Okay, I forgot Ford. But seriously, I, too, wonder not just sometimes but frequently whether there's anyone up there in the administration really giving a fuck. And I'd suggest that we not eat up our time bitching about it if we are, because bitching about things tends to split us. The people who actually did get into their preferred colleges might have second thoughts about when people say that Guidance didn't do shit, the people who okay I don't feel like completing this tricolon. But you get my point.
Which is that I'm still happy and I don't know why. Okay, maybe I do but it's not like I can be certain on that and my theory isn't worth talking about.

ah hah, first comment (diabolically triumphant smirk), yeah, I'm way too excited about this, my theory is that soemone at the guidance departemnt killed someone important and the entire SJP class of 2006 has been blacklisted, but like you said, a lot of us are too done too care, hell, surely they got in soemwhere and beyond that it's all pomp and bullshit and completely out of anyone's hands even if they were legitimately completely robbed (as many were)
my verifying word is suijon, I wish it were a real word, it's almost too awesome
This school is putting me in a funk, the bad kind.
PS: Is there a good kind?
i have evidence to prove that there is an ivy league conspiracy against redheads. for example, the irish potato famine started in 1845. in 1845, the US secretary of war was William L Marcy, a brown alum. therefore, brown university is responsible for the deaths of thousands of irish.
why does curtin get a cool verification word and i get gibberish?
i'm only 1/16 irish anyways. those bastards.
This is one of a quickly decreasing number of blogs and their posts which actually capture attention and encourage further reading. APRIL FOOLS! It's the only one.
