Jealousy is a sin. Acedia is for people with too much time on their hands. Anger is for shallow little cheeseballs who need to grow up. Overindulgence (known as gluttony to my Catholic friends) is like having an excess tub of I'm-such-a-fucking-bastard-but-I-don't-even-know-it strapped to your waist. Sad thing is that I'm guilty of doing all of those things. Oi.
Today was okay. Carmina had Halo-Halo, so I spent lunch being a nomad with Kyra, traveling from the art room to the vending machines to the library. Good exercise. Very healthy. I have a sudden urge to paint my cousin's Barbies in Day-Glo. But I think I'd get in trouble for turning Tea Party Barbie into a paint-covered nudist getting reading to take a spin in the World Naked Bike Ride. English went by fast for once. I did bad on the math benchmark, like I knew I would. Funny thing was that apparently this was "one of the easiest tests" according to the people in my class. I'm too busy doodling to pay attention in French. Must buckle down. I used my crisp new five today. I'm sad, but I asked Ms. Jacqout to hold it so I could exchange it back later. She gave me a funny look, but agreed to. We have to run the mile for PE tomorrow. I hear it's going to be hot. This may be my last blog. I spent half of fifth period looking for Tricia, Wynnie, and Jason. I must've looked like a total spaz. Johannsen was boring. Nothing happened because we spent most of the time finishing up our own little projects. That's the world today. Selfish. I like Lanny's Chinatown scarf. Next thing you know, cool little shops are going to open up there because of the cheap rent. I wish. Cross my fingers and hope. That's what happened to the Meatpackaging District, so you never know... It's funny how they can turn an old meathouse into a high-end fashion place but they can't afford to fix up a crappy little park so little kids won't have to risk their lives just to zip down a slide. Capitalism.
After I post this, I am going to curl up with my book and some cold rice because that's the only thing I have to eat. Homework can wait. School is dreadfully boring. I am such a nerd. Any good reads?
