"Dear Carmel, flowers or rocks?" --"Rocks. In a heartbeat"

Today wasn't the most sensationalist day ever.
Remember those movies with the just-nerdy-enough-to-be-funny character and all the shit that happens to him in one go? Yes, I'm sure we all watched one of those and because we are callow people, we laughed. Well, I now sympathize with him.
School started off on a nice note and for an entire period I actually believe that today might be another good day. Let's just say, I should've realized that having a school-at-war-feud dream might suggest that today wasn't going to be a pretty day.
Like that wasn't enough, I came home and was rounded up by my little cousin, had my phone stolen from me (I'm not sure who Crystal called--I'm hoping it wasn't a long-distance call), and received this following email from Interact:
Carmel
you got too many strikes Chinese New Year Fest 2/1, Newspaper Distr. 2/19, Vejar TA 3/4
the directions were clear on the chinese new years fest, i asked the presidents
you are no longer in the club, sorry. feel free to join next year.

Cheers. At first I was completely bitching and moaning about it ($10 dollars happens to be enough to buy a vaccination or two, people) and I even contemplated whether I should send him a rude email back. But, using the Internet to abuse someone? That's lame, even for me. So now I will just sulk. Thing is, I don't even think I signed up for Newspaper Distribution. I guess it's my fault really, and my leader is just carrying out his duty. Still, I think I'm going to do Key Club next year. I really am the lesser person.
Kyra and I got into a really elaborate talk about everything and we realized: there's a thin crater between caring and loving. I'm sure most people already understand that concept, but a lot of people don't really get it. I'm not making any sense, am I? Well, in a nutshell, care and love are like slightly different twins people often confuse. What would you rather? Be cared for or loved? The answer may seem so obvious, but if you really think most people would really have to weigh it.
Thought: Flowers or Rocks?
