Mom an' Dad Went 2 a Costume Party
Remember, I warned U that their costumes were disturbing.
So they went 2 a Halloween costume party and--okay, if U disturb easily
an' get nitemares often, U mite wanna stop rite here. Yeah, so U've
been warned again.
Mom and Dad both cross-dressed. Mom put her hair in2 a v. tite bun so she cd put a "balding guy" wig/rubber cap on. She also put on a Hawaiian shirt, a lei, blue walking shorts, and white
knee-hi sox. She carried a camera. Dad wore a long black wig, grass skirt, a lei, a matching (the lei) garland on his head, and a bra top made outta 2 halves of a coconut shell. C, they were supposta B, like, obnoxious tourists in Hawaii. I guess they've been obnoxious tourists in Mexico so many times, pretending wdna been NE fun. Hm, I wonder if this meanz that when I have my March vacation next yr, they'll ditch me 4 Hawaii this time. How not-surprised wd I B?
They took a cab 2 go 2 the party an' back, cuz they wanted 2 get really, really drunk safely. Gah, my parents drunk. ::shudder:: They cracked themselves up so hard that they actually spent the whole cab ride 2 the party laffin' w/their tungz hangin' out. They danced, 8, drank, an' laffed thru the whole party, but when they got home, Dad realized he was in pain. Cuz when U cut a coconut in 1/2, it gets these really sharp, fibery edgez. An' Dad had these two circlez around each guy-boob, made outta cuts an' scrapes. As Mom applied salve, she sed, "I told U not 2 wear real coconuts." Cuz even tho Dad was hurting so bad he had pain starz coming
outta his body, his eyez all wide an' dark-rimmed, an' his lower teeth jutting out, Mom cd not resist the urge 2 B all "I told U so". Nice, eh?
Well, the band's gonna B here soon cuz we still have practicing an' planning 2 do B4 Gym / Jam.

Zed & I went 2 the Halloween party @ Savage Garden. Wilco had fake id 4 both of us & a rilly cube zombie costume 4 me. He even did sum last minute alterations so the costume wld fit bettah.
Ill b ovah 4 practice soon, I just want 2 check up on Zed 1st, she & Enid were power drinking the vampire wine & 1 of them (no way Im saying who) had a ruff ride home. Good thing Wilco's trained 4 med emergencies. Im thinking of trying 2 win him off Arne, Arne loves 2 gamble.

hey, dunc, what happed was that the 1st time i tried 2 publish yesterday, i got an error message insteada one of those "100%" thingies u get when publishing has worked rite. i tried 2 fig out how 2 fix that by going 2 the blogger group in google groups, an' the only advice i saw was "republish, republish". so i tried that, but it didn't help. when that didn't work, i pasted my post in2 an e-mail and posted it that way. but after a while, the original post showed up after all, so i ended up w/a dbl post, and u put yr comment on that original post. i got confused, 2, cuz when i looked this morning an' saw "1 comments" 2 what i thot was the only post yesterday, i thot that was just my post an' that no1 else had posted. then i figged out that there were other posts.
i hope blogger stops being flaky soon. :(

Oh, man, I got a call from Evah, she asked me if I wanted a ride 2 practice. Good thing I had an xcuse.
Im @ Zeds now. Shes still sleeping. Dr. L. is kinda pissed @ me. I dont think it wld b a good idea 2 tell her that a rabbit was involved in the sitch. I no its not a good idea 2 tell her that Arne was involved.
C u soon.

April,
I had already had 6 Jello shots when I invited you to join me, if I had been sober I never would of, drinking underage is very bad, we have programs about it at school sometimes, you should of known better, just because I drank when I was in high school doesn't make it right, and I only did it because Dawn and Shawna-Marie did it, and Anthony got the peer pressure, and I had no choice but to join in.
Fortunately you got the deep eye bags today, that is a powerful lesson, I hope that will keep you sober until you are legal, today you look older than Mom, also thanks a lot for almost getting me in trouble, I had to tell Dad you look like that because you are coming down with the dreaded "green eye," which I brought back from Mtigwaki, and the white man is not used to that germ, so it hits extra hard and turns into "purple eye," just like smallpox but in reverse.

April,
Boozhoo (Hello).
I read your writings about your noos (father) and ngashi (mother) at the Halloween party. I was happy to read that they were being responsible and used a taxi to take them to and from a party, to keep the roads safe from drunk driving. I am sorry to hear your noos (father) got hurt by his coconuts.
I also read your sister’s story about giving you alcohol, while they were gone to the party. As a member of the Ontario Provincial Police, I can tell you that drinking by minors under adult supervision is permitted at home in Prince Edward Island, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan. What my sweet girl did was not against the law as I know very well in dealing with my people, the Ojibway. Your sister and I had a long talk about it. Even though it is not against the law, I am against minors drinking, because I have seen the effects among my people.
The introduction of alcohol to the Ojibway began with the first white/Ojibway contact hundreds of years ago. In a sense, the Ojibway have never recovered. My people have been in a cycle of alcohol abuse that continues today. We have lost our tribal traditions and cultural values, and lost a large number of youth due to alcohol-related accidents. Alcohol has contributed to the low educational level and high rates of unemployment. The strength of the family has been damaged by alcohol abuse; children do not receive the support, love and attention they need to grow. My sweet girl could probably tell you about its effect on one of her favourite students in Mtigwaki (Land of Trees), Jesse Mukwa, who is now being raised by his nizhigosh (aunt) Margaret, instead of his ningitiziim (parents). Presently, more than 50% of Ojibway ages 18-24 are impacted by drug abuse dependency.
I believe I got your sister to agree to not give you alcohol again, and if it upsets you, then you can blame me. This is a way I wish the South was different from the Northwest.
Gi'-ga-wa-ba-min' na-gutch! (See you later!)

April,
Paul just doesn't listen, I keep telling him you're not Ojibway but he doesn't listen, but don't worry, I defended your honor, I said, "Well a southern teenager can have a few drinks without turning into a raging alcoholic, I know I did, I'm sorry if you natives can't handle having a good time with booze like us but that doesn't have anything to do with me and April," and then Paul said, "Sweet girl, I am pleased that you are at least getting along with your sister, your portrayal of her as an evil brat in your novel is somewhat disturbing," and I had to remind him that my novel is about Lilibet not me, cheeze.
Liz
