O: There is a church collective to get me on a Greyhound. I can’t believe this! I can’t be-lieve it! If you see my post from earlier today (see below), you’d know about how Stew called to get my parents to stick me on a bus up to Redding. Now, at 8:30 at night, another member of our church called… WHAT? WHAT? He started talking with my mom about their health issues and I hear my mom ticking off why, oh why, I can’t gather all of my belongings, board a Greyhound and head up to Redding by myself. I’m really starting to wonder if there is a church fund raiser for my bus ticket or something! I mean, two phone calls in one day!!!!!!
I can’t believe this.
On another note, the writers left the YA showdown at a "tie". So. Stupid. They didn't even declare a real winner, they were just like: "Oh, yeah... Howl got the first vote but Eugenides won by like six votes. Decide for yourself!" So. Stupid.
What. A. Day.
Toodle Pip.
SERIOUSLY okay I'm ready to come field all your phone calls! YOU ARE NOT A BAD DAUGHTER and more importantly, you're not FORCING your parents to do ANYTHING! They're doing it because they LOVE YOU! and it's not like you're making them backpack all the way to redding! Yes, they're both ill, but it's only driving! there are many things more strenuous than that. And they WANT to take you! SUCK IT CHURCH PEOPLE!
ReplyDeleteEugenides from The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner? : O
ReplyDeleteEugenides my...EX-FICTIONAL BOYFRIEND?!
"I’m really starting to wonder if there is a church fund raiser for my bus ticket"
Is there or isn't there? I'm confused.
But that is ridiculous.
Maybe he's secretly invested in Greyhound stock and is desperate for business. : P
Maybe he's straight loopy.
Whatever the reason, don't let it get to you, okay? :3
There isn't... that I know of. But I'm expecting more phone calls from church members throughout the following days. He's not loopy - but very pushy, I found at! And, yes, that Eugenides. The YA showdown I linked you two about a week or so ago. He and Howl from Howl's Moving Caslte "tied".
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for so valiantly defending my honor both Becca and Anneke. It's now a joke in our family whenver the phone rings: *ring* "Oh, I wonder which member of our church that is now?" (and) *ring* "I bet that's John!" "Well I bet it's Maerk!" and so on.
