Cheesy
Wow, peeps, I know I'm l8 posting this. Sorry abt that. I don't even know what time it was when I finally got home after the Freeman party & our stop @ Horny Tim's afterwards. I am sooooo wiped. & so glad that Mom's taking a break from being our own Wikipedia abt the wise & noble natives. Well, Liz called this morning 2 make sure I'm OK, & she did share a story of her own. But @ least it was just a little thing that happened in her classroom steada being a National Geog special. So Liz showed her class how 2 use Dad's leaf press. & during lunch, that Jesse kid used it to squoosh his cheese sandwich.
Then Liz sed, "Now that we've gotten my obligatory slice-o'-native-life bit outta the way, tell me everything that happened last nite! & don't leave NEthing out!" Well, I tried, but I was way tired. The comments 2 my last post already do a gd job describing the party, so I'll just add a coupla things. Becks is totally rite abt those reality-TV producers trying 2 get us 2 create conflict in their interviews. They totally try 2 stir the shizzit, peeps! This guy who interviewed me knew all abt how Jeremy tried to run me over w/his bike & got hit by that car, like a million yrs ago. I'm like, "Dude, that is so ancient history. Jeremy & I mostly leave ea other alone. He's totally nice 2 my bud Becks, so it's all gd, U know?" & this guy was all pissed @ me. He even dredged out sum old letter of "mine" from when I was 9 (yeh, of course Mom totally wrote it) that sez "There's something dark inside him and until he stops being mean, I don't think he will have any real friends at all." What 9-yr-old wd say "there's something dark inside him"? So I had to xplain abt how we all write those monthly letters & my mom "edits" them.
NEway, I don't think the producer guy was NE happier w/me than he was w/Becky, cuz I didn't bring the drama. But U know, now that Gerald has readjusted his Prozac dosage, he's interested in the makin' out again. But without constantly trying 2 go thru the rest of the bases. So we got sum smooching in B4 we realized the cams were watchin' us.
That Huey kid ended up making a huge speech @ the end of the party, mostly abt how shameful his grandfather is, but he also threw in a buncha stuff abt pop culture & the BET TV network, which I don't get, even on Gordo's dish. That Caesar kid ended up being all buddy-buddy w/Dunc even tho they were all competitive @ the beginning. He sed he had a much easier time getting a word in edgewise w/Dunc & that they had more in common than Caesar did w/Huey.
Well, Dunc just got here, so we R gonna go back out 2 Horny Tim's. We totally don't feel like jamming 2day. :)

Wow, you all are not kidding about those producers for the reality show! One of them sat me down and it went like this:
Producer: So, Marjee Mahaha, is it true that your parents are Thorvald McGuire and Echo Simone?
Me: My birth parents, yes.
P: So are you angry at Thorvald and Echo for giving you up?
Me: No, they were very young, and my adoptive parents are great.
P: So why, then, did you pursue your birth parents?
Me: It's all part of knowing myself and connecting with family. I got two great sisters out of my quest. Becky and Vicki.
P: Half sisters.
Me: Technically, yeah, but I just think of them as my sisters.
This producer guy was obviously getting bored with me, so he tried a different approach.
P: So, I hear you're a swinger!
Me: I wouldn't say that. I have an open relationship with my boyfriend, which means that we can choose to be with someone else as long as we are open and honest. And no emotional connections allowed with outsiders.
P: (whispering) So maybe you and me, afterwards, in the van?
Me: Forget it! Hey, Becky's about to sing "Good Morning, Heartache," so can we wrap this up?
P: (Sulking) Okay.

That producer guy didn't have too much to say to me, except he kept trying to get me to hit on this chick named Edda. She was pretty hot and she looked like a ballerina, but I just wasn't in the mood for that, not with cameras following me around. Plus she had this giant muscly guy on one side of her and this dark-haired nerdy guy on the other, both acting like bodyguards.

Becky and Duncan,
I forgot to mention this last night but that mixing of Becky singing the Billie Holiday version of "Good Morning, Heartache" and then going to Duncan doing the Ol' Dirty Bastard version was pure genius. I was quite impressed. I have to work Krystle's Kakes and Pies for the evening shift, so maybe I will see you there.
Oh. For some reason, I have been having a strange craving for a cheese sandwich. Does anyone have any good recipes with any cheese except Havarti?

April,
I’m working the evening shift at Krystle’s Kakes and Pies. I have to tell you the funniest thing, although I doubt Becky will agree it was funny. When I got to the bakery, Krystle and Becky were already there. Becky was helping out when there were a lot of customers, but mainly she was reviewing her vocabulary for the quiz you both have tomorrow.
Then Krystle’s boyfriend who works at the Milborough Board of Health walks in and says, “Honey, sweetness of cake and pie, are you ready to go?” I immediately started thinking, “Oh boy, another evening with me sleeping on Becky’s couch.” So, Krystle says, “Yes, we are my cootchie wootchie sugar dumpling. Becky dear, it’s time to go.” And Becky says, “Go where?” And Krystle says, “Oh, Becky. I told you this before. All 3 of us are going to play tennis as a family. My big strong hunk of a boyfriend just loves tennis, and I bought you the cutest pink tennis skirt to match mine.” Then she pulls out a bag from behind the counter and lifts up 2 fuzzy pink, matching tennis skirts, embroidered with “Krystle” and “Rebecca” in a glittering cursive lettering. Becky gets this panicked look that says, “Howard please save me!” So I say, “Becky has a vocabulary quiz tomorrow. She could stay here and keep on studying, and I can take her home.” But Krystle says, “Oh Howard. We have imposed on you too much already. Besides I think the 3 of us need to spend some quality time as a family, bonding over some tantalizing tennis.” I knew it was a lost cause, although it was difficult for me not to laugh with Becky making those gagging gestures every time Krystle and her boyfriend weren’t looking.
I hope your studying went well. I did try your recipe for cheese crackers, and it was the oddest thing. As soon as they were done, your mother walked into the shop and bought the whole lot of them. I think I will wait to try it again when I am safe at home, with the doors locked.

April,
Just to let you know, Becky is sleeping over at my apartment tonight. I read her post and went over to get her. She asked to sleep over here, because she didn't want to face her mother again tonight.
I cannot believe her mother would leave her cleaning ovens at the bakery during a graveyard shift before a school day. It makes me so angry. I am going to have to have words with Krystle tomorrow. Besides, I always clean the ovens before I leave for the night, so she was just making work for Becky. Between hardly sleeping prior to last night's party, the tennis, and trying to keep her mother out of jail, Becky was exhausted. She fell asleep on the way, and she didn't wake up when I carried her out of the car to my apartment.
Toodles,
