Dad irrit8s without meaning 2

Liz was in bed moping trying 2 avoid being depressed, when Dad popped in, sat on the edge of her bed, an' sed, "Well, my sweetheart, now that Howard's been sentenced, U can get on w/yr life ....Move forward!" He tells me that this is the pt where he was planning 2 give her a pep talk leading up 2 her getting her own apt near her work, but instead he got sidetracked w/"Or... Do U have 2 get over Paul 1st?!! ....But now there's Warren! ....He's a nice-looking chap [chap?]. Well-spoken... Good manners, calls U up quite often, doesn't he! [He does?] Ahhhh, but if I was a gambler, I'd put my $ on Anthony!" Oh, really? Like, U've been so subtle abt yr Anthony-preference. ::rolleyes:: Liz sat up, all "DAD!!! Wd U STOP ALREADY?!" He stood up, all, "I'm sorry.... I didn't mean 2 B irrit8ing!" Then he left the room. Liz sez that @ this pt, she sat 4ward, clutched her jaw in her hands, and thot, "MEN!!"

NEway, I M pretty sure Dad has called his bookie and asked him 2 set up a bet 4 Liz ending up w/Anthony. There mite B sum trub finding ppl 2 bet NE other way, tho.

    April, I felt a chill go up and down my spine when I read that part about Warren calling Liz frequently. You see, he's been calling me "quite often" lately, too. He keeps asking me to forgive him so we can move on and resume our relationship. I've been telling him that I don't trust him anymore, and this just tells me how right I was! After reading your entry this morning, I called up Warren and asked him about his calls to Liz. And he told me that he was hedging his bets! Can you believe that?

    Anyway, Becky and I are both feeling pretty low, between Howard being off in prison and Warren being such an arse. We're having the pancake breakfast at the Eats Diner right now.

    Apes,

    i think i might be able 2 explain ur dad's weird behaviour. Toni tells me that sum of the bookmakers down @ the track have a sort of unofficial wager going on who Liz ends up marrying. Dirk gave me the current odds:

    Anthony 3-5
    Warren 3-1
    Dennis 100-1
    Everett 20-1
    Gary 5-1
    Jesse 7-1

    i think ur Dad has a bunch of money on Anthony.

    April,

    I was thinking last night, if the ideal husband is a man like Dad, and Dad is so irritating, then do I really want to get married at all?, maybe not, but then again, it would disgrace the family if I didn't, so I guess I have to, but when I thought about having to share a bed with a man like him these weird feelings went down my spine and into my stomach, and I threw up a little in my mouth, I really hate when people talk about my love life, it's not their business!, it's mine, though I guess I understand why Dad is worried, there is the disgrace of the family name to worry about, it would be terrible if I moved on in life without a man by my side.

    We had a prob @ US immigration. I had my passport but I didnt have a notarized letter of permission from my 'rents 2 travel w/ Zenia. My 'rents dont no where I am & I dont think they wld b cube abt me b-ing w/ Zenia. I think they were about 2 turn us back but then 1 of the immigration d00ds goes 2 Zenia, rnt u the Picton Peeler? D00ds a ril Picton Peeler fan, hes even got a foto of 1 of Zenias body parts in his wallet. Zenia autografed his chest & sum of his fotos & then they let us in.

    I no evrything will b cube btween me & Zed. I just got a email from her, shes meeting me @ Horny Ts @ 8 pm 2morrow nite!

    L8r.

    p.s. Mayb I shld delete my Similes poem, Zenia told the immigration d00ds a rilly rude joke abt beans & weenies. I nevah thot of that b4.

    p.p.s. What if I change the line in the poem 2 Like fish without chips?

    aw, dunc, i think yr similes poem is sweet the way it is, but if u think fish w/out chips is more jokeproof, then go 4 it, eh? cube that u were able 2 get thru the border cuz of zenia being all notorious an' stuff!

    i got a fone call frum dad. it wuz like this--

    dad: becky-thora! listen well! (screech screech!)
    me: i m. go ahead.
    dad: u need 2 go 2 my house and get the bag with the--(screech screech!)
    me: dad! i can't hear u over the screeching! what is that?
    dad: (yelling) hoskuld! attend to the lemurs!
    me: is howie there with u?
    dad: just listen! the bag is in the--(screech screech)--goddamnit! hoskuld! shut that lemur up!

    (i could hear howie in the background saying sumthing at this point, but it wuz covered up by a bunch of lemur screeching)

    me: dad! just tell me what 2 do!
    dad: go 2 my house. in the bedroom closet there is a bag. this bag has important items in it. get the bag and come 2 the rendezvous point. (screech! screech!) goddamned lemurs! i should have used reindeer!
    me: don't worry dad, i'll do it!
    dad: screech! screech! screech!

    and then the line went ded.

    i went 2 dad's house. but in his bedroom, there r 2 closets! in 1 closet, he had a bag full of brennevin and rancid shark meat. in the other closet, he had a bag full of icelandic sagas. i found axes under the bed, behind the kitchen door, inside the piano, bolted under the dining room table, on top of the china cabinet, inside the oven, and in freyfaxi's doghouse, but none in the bedroom closet.

    so i strapped the bags on freyfaxi an' we rode over 2 the rendezvous point, which is fiona brass's pool hall. but no dad or howie!

    i dunno what 2 do next. this rancid shark meat really stinks.

    becks
