I Guess Shannon Wants E-mail
More stuff about this past Monday, peeps. This past Monday, yeah. I'm still harping on it. Takes a while for a story, even a dull 1, 2 get out these dayz.
Shannon was showing me her "Justin" program that, like, reads 2 her, xcept she sez it like "I...can...read nething I want...like books...or go...on the..internet...." & she demo'ed by having the thing read her sum story abt "Cathy and Brad" being all, like, followed & stuff. I guess that's what she'z in2, yo. I was being all nice w/comments like "Shannon, this is so brilliant!" & "Sweet!" Cuz what else R U gonna say when U R all "on the spot" like that? Plus, this was, like, cutting in2 my reading time I was supposta B spending in the library. But then I ended up feeling bad. Cuz after I asked whether "Justin" would read her an e-mail if I sent 1 to her, she was all, "Sure!" an' I was all, "That wd B amazing", & then she was, like, "April, if...some...1 sent me...an e-mail....that would B....amazing." So, like, send Shannon e-mail, peeps. Xcept, I guess we shdn't send her NEthing we don't want "Justin" 2 B reading out loud in that "integrated program" room.
So, Dunc, what's this thing U sed U did that was so st00pid U wish U still had zitz 2 hide yr face? I didn't C U on the bus this morning & then I got yr txt saying U got yr mom 2 give U a ride.
Alex is out 2day cuz her fam is fr. the states & they celebrate American Thanksgiving. Happy Holiday 2 all who celebrate it!

April,
So, last night I missed Jeremy so much -- I know and I was the one that didn't want to see him -- that I ended up IMing with him for, like the longest time. We were talking about, like, school and math and music and then I started telling him about some of our holiday traditions and he said, "That's so amazing!" and I said, "What's that mean?!" and he said, "Nothing. It sounds really cool." and I'm like, "That's not what you meant! You're being sarcastic, you're making fun of my family traditions!" and I was so mad I logged off before he could make up any excuses. I was so upset I practically cried myself to sleep.
I got up at six AM this morning to see if I had any email from Jeremy with an apology and I didn't = ( So I stayed up another hour and read the conversation again, you know in the saved log. I'm such an idiot. I must've been so tired that I misunderstood what he meant, you know how can happen online sometimes because you can't read, like, infection and everything. I was so mad that I did that that I call Jeremy on his cell phone and his mom answered! I thought Jeremy would be up, you know, for school at seven but apparently he's home sick.
I asked his mom if I could go over and make him feel better and she said yes, for a few minutes before she goes to work, so went over Jeremy's this morning. When I got there his mom was super nice, she even let me go up to Jeremy's room all by myself, as long as I left his bedroom door up. Boy was Jeremy surprised to see me! I apologized and sat on his bed and asked if he was alright (and he said, "I am now", his future sister must have told him that was always a good line). I apologized again and then his mother said I had to go, she was leaving for work and I kissed Jeremy and he said, "I'm sick," and I said, "So am I" so I kissed him again and left.

PS: I sent Shannon a really cute Friendship Forward, per your request, I have. It has really cute pictures with, like, friendship verses in them. You have to scroll down a bit but it's really cute, she should like it.

Apes,
The strangest, worst thing happened to me this morning. I was walking past the Integration Program classroom & Shannon must have been reading an email or sum website. That room should honestly B supervised!
I heard 'Justin' saying, "& as I pressed my hard drive to ur body, my internal components quicken & I felt as if I might crash." Then I heard Shannon say, "Oh...Justin...I...love...when...you...speak...to...me...so." 'Justin' replied, "This happens every time u turn me on."
When I saw Shannon later, I asked her how Justin was, thinking of the conversation Alex posted 2 ur Blog yesterday. She said, "Justin...is...so...good...to...me. When...I...kiss...him. He...makes...my...lips...tingle."

April,
Not much going on at home. Kind of bored. America Thanksgiving is definitely not the same here. Is tomorrow still Black Friday here? The Macy's Day parade was on, that was ... Nice. One of the parade balloons hit a light post and dropped the heavy light into the crowd. One person was injured but apparently not badly.
I've been talking to Jeremy on IM. Too bad he's sick, I think he stayed home so I wouldn't be too bored = ) and would have someone to IM with. He said he'd be in school tomorrow.
Anyhow, I just got an email from Shannon, she got the forward I sent her. She seemed so upset. She said that forward I sent her crashed "Justin"! She said, "All...he...kept...saying...was "From...colon...(information). Date...colon...(information). To...colon...(and the really long list of emails)". Can you, maybe, check on her? I didn't know Justin would read the lines of forward information, you know?
Should I reply to her email? Tell her the good news is now she has a large list of email addresses, she can email people?

Alex,
That xplains Y Shannon was crying. I asked her what was wrong & she said, "Jus...tin...dumped...me." I said, "U know Justin is only a voice on ur computer -->?" and she said, "I...know...that! U...think...just...becuz...I'm...special needs...I..don't...know...that!" I said, "That's not true, it's becuz u're going around telling people he's your boyfriend," and she said, "That's...becuz...I...don't...have...a real...boy...friend. Every...1...else...does. I...like...to...pretend...Jus...tin...is...my...boyfriend." I wanted to say, "Well u know that's not safe -->?" but instead I said, "I don't have a boyfriend." She said, "U...don't?" I said, "No." She said, "Will...u...email...me? We'll...be...e-pals. Get...it? Like...pen...pals...only...e-pals? Ha! I...made...a...joke. Laugh! U're...not...laughing...becuz...I'm...special needs...and...u...think...I'm...not...funny!"

so, i'm @ home, where we just had our not-special, not-holiday dinner which, like, of course i had 2 cook. coffee was fun, tho i can't say we really figured out much w/our "shannon" summit. i mentioned a run-in i had w/shannon in the halls @ school 2day, where she was, like, "e-mails... killed... justin! e-...mails... killed jus...tin!" & she was like, "april!...it's...yr...fault. u...told...yr...friendz 2 send me e-mail!" & i was all, "yeah, u were all saying how amazing it wd b 2 get e-mail!" & she was like, "i did...n't...know it... wd kill...my...boy...toy!" just then, her aide came running along & sed, "let's go calm down now, shannon! steph the web designer is working on getting justin up & running again!"
so while they were walking off, shan yelled ovr her shoulder @ me: "u bet..ter...pray steph...can fix...jus...tin,...e...mail...girl! or...your...pat...ter...son...ass...is grass!"
eva was, like, "mayB a social worker cd help," & alex an' i told her mrs. lake's a social worker. "so much 4 that," sed eva. then alex was getting txt messages fr. jeremy & she'd read 'em & smile an' go "he's sooooo sweet! i m so glad i cleared up that misunderstanding abt the im." we talked a bit abt how e-mails & im's can get all misread like that, & alex was like, "hey, mayB steph the web designer oughta fixt that "justin" proggie so it can read "sarcasm" and "kidding" and "smiling" tags. i sed i'd mention it next time she came by the store 2 help my mom. it oughta be soon since december letters r already less than 1 wk away (!!!).
while we were discussing all this, alex got a call fr. her cell. her dad was like, "u need 2 get back home, anon, er, what's er face, cuz we still have company!" so we sed our goodbyez & i went back 2 lilli's.

Hey, Apes!
Heres the stoopid thing I did.
I was thinking abt r community service hrs an' how I dont want 2 go back 2 Mboro Manors 2 read 2 the oldies. So I was thinking I cld train r cats 2 B like the cats in this circus that my 'rents an' I saw in TO an' put in my hrs w/ kiddies not oldies an' mayB make sum $$$ 2. 1st I tried 2 train Falstaff but he wont wake up 4 nething but kibble. So then I thot Id train Faustus whos alot livelier an' banned fr the basement 4 chasing my dads choo-choos round the track. I started w/ the trick where u get the cat 2 do a handstand 'cos it looked ez 2 do. I put Faustus ovr my head an' tried 2 get him 2 do a handstand on my hands but Faustus fell off my hands an' scratched my face on the way down. All my face. W/ all 20 claws. My mom keeps putting antibiotic gel on me an' I look sorta like a zombie if the lites not 2 brite.
So no more cat circus. Ill hafta think of sumthing better.
Were going 2 Barbados 4 Xmas. Were leaving on Dec 17 so I get 2 miss the last week of classes b4 Xmas break. Cube! My mom says she wont take me if my face dont heal but I think shes j/k.

Wow will you look at the time. The last I knew it was seven!
I'm at Jeremy's, posting this from his computer. I can't believe his mom's okay with my being in his room!! My parents would totally kill me if I had a boy in my room!!
I brought him some of the leftovers from my Thanksgiving. He apparently likes turkey. I hate turkey! We had turkey, squash, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and a house full of people. I was glad to get out of the house! It was perfect that Eva's babysitting job was moved to tomorrow so she could get coffee with April and I. She's so cool, quiet though but in a good way, and way smart and personable.
I am so excited about tomorrow. ::Squeal:: Jeremy and I are having a whole date night. At five we're having a "candle light dinner" and then we're going to watch hockey for the rest of the evening. I hope it goes into overtime!! I'll tell you ALL about it when I get home = D
Duncan, I'm really concerned about your cat scratches! My mom had that happen by way less severe. I hope it heals and you don't an infection or anything!!!
Alex
(Did I mention how excited I am about tomorrow? Because I am SO excited ... Okay I have to go.)
