Feeling bad for her “negligence” Monday, sweet Sarah gave me compensation for my egg’s injuries.  Isn’t it cute?

Afterwards, a bunch of my friends and I gathered at Bryan’s house to discuss plans for after prom, a very hot topic lately.  We all decided we were going to the Poconos, but we still had to choose a house to stay in.  Some of us didn’t participate in the selection, including me, because frankly, I didn’t care about what house was chosen.  I just came for the sake of camaraderie.

After that was decided, we all just pretty much hung out.  I felt tired after a while, so I just took a really short nap on the couch.  Then, we all decided to go to New York for a bit to get some food.

When we got back to Belleville, I decided to go home early.  Just wasn’t in the mood anymore.  Didn’t want to suck out everyone else’s cheer.  Besides, there’s more to life than just hanging out, like college.  I have an interview tomorrow, so it was time to wind down and get some rest.

 

A “Good Surprise”

Whatever you think, this is the last thing I want you to do to me.

 

Snow Fail

I had to leave school early to tend to some business that only I know about!

Then I came back to tend to some scholastic business that only I know about!

Then I shoveled snow.

 

Murder Fling

Enjoyed Michael’s company today.

Went to school at 7 pm to attend to some Stage Technology business.  It’s our A/V club, except you don’t see us pushing a cart with a huge TV in the hallway.  OK, maybe sometimes.

 

Conformity!?

According to a local Facebook event, February 1st was “Bring an egg to school day.”  And that I did.  It was a parody of a Health project that was assigned to some seniors last week.  They had to take care of an egg, as if it were a baby.  Some clever mind, a funny girl named Vincenza, started the event in Facebook until the word spread.

So, I came in to school with an egg with a painted face in a “crib,” and people naturally gave  me weird looks.  A friend wanted to babysit for me and took the egg from me first period until several periods later.

I then brought it to my Italian class, the last period of the day.  My friend Stefany, who knew about the event, saw the egg and commented, “I can’t believe you, Jeremy!  Why would you follow that Facebook event?  You’re a follower!”  She then grabbed the egg and threatened to smash it into the garbage can.  She was half-joking, I think, but eventually, I got it back.

After school, another friend, Sarah, saw the egg and kidnapped it.  I had to go somewhere, so I just told her, “Just give it back to me tomorrow!”  I later discovered that my egg was murdered.

Apparently, Stefany took the egg from Sarah and threatened once again to smash it.  It didn’t really happen until Cindy, Stefany’s sister who exhibits an unexplainable hatred towards me, grabbed the egg from Stefany and tossed it into the garbage can with such might that when some friends tried to show me the remnants of my baby, we could find only but a small fragment of the shell.

I was pretty devastated, considering that I spent a few hours painting that egg.  (“You painted a circle on the egg!  I could’ve done a better circle than that!” Joe would mockingly say.)  But, in the end, I found it pretty hilarious.

Now, I present to you this empty crib.

 

It Takes One to Paint One

What a boring day.  What a boring painting.

Some of my sisters’ friends came over and hung out downstairs.  Meanwhile, I secluded myself upstairs in my room, briefly going downstairs to get some food from time to time.

What a boring day.  What a boring painting.

 

That’s It for January

No more January birthdays after Marie’s!

A surprise birthday party at Lawrence’s house led to a very eventful day.  It was a very fat day too.  And a bit lewd.  I think it’s a night that all of us will remember for a while.

 

A Bunch of Firsts

I’m sure he enjoyed eating his hot pizza.

I, on the other hand, had to endure a cold one.

Oh the places you’ll go with a car.

 

Occultus Mons Montis Villa

A perfect society.  My friend Sarah and I had to create one for our sociology class, and we had to present it, using a presentation board.

Running on thirty minutes of sleep, I had to go to her house after school and work on the entire project with her.  It wasn’t until about 8 or 9 pm that I began to feel sleepy.

It was also nice to be with Sarah.  Like I said in a previous post, we really haven’t connected lately.  Today really made me realize how close me and Sarah were in the past.  Today made me value those fun times with her.

I enjoyed today.

 

A Lot More Frankenstein

We have to face the consequences of our actions.

This was one of the themes that I found after reading Frankenstein.  I am now writing in hindsight, since it’s really been a while since January 27, and my English class has been discussing the book for a while.  Otherwise, I probably would not have been looking for a theme of this book, and thus, this post wouldn’t begin like this.

Anyway, I did indeed have to face the consequences of my actions tonight.  My teacher assigned Frankenstein, a 180-page novel, two weeks ago.  How much did I read prior to tonight?  About twenty.

So, with my first cup of coffee ever at around 10 pm, I set out to read the entire novel, even if took the entire night.  At around 1:00 am, the coffee really kicked in, and I felt so energetic.  However, instead of reading the book, I told myself, “Whoa!  I got so much energy.  I can just read this later!”  So, I distracted myself with Facebook and other stuff in the Internet, glancing at the book from time to time to read.

When I realized a couple of hours later that I really was behind, I tried getting back into in completely, but that was when I started yawning.  I was half-asleep, still reading the book.

I went to sleep at 6 am, with my alarm ready to go off at 6:30.  And the funny part was, I still had a chapter to go.
