Because that's how irony works

Went to school today, slipped into Newland's, aka newtonsenigma  at lunch and saw that Lara kid, aka paskettios,  aka that horrifically deficient in pigmentation girl. (JK LARA I LOVE YOU) And Other Ann, who talks more now. :D

Then I snuck off to see Ms. Merwin, old photography teacher, had some talks with her which was nice. Then ran into TPP as the bell rang with Li, and proceeded to laugh it up with Joodie, (aka Judy). Saw everyone except that Scott kid, Lindsay and Liz, aka cherryfeather , because she was MIA.

Saw my Jujubee, aka Hyungjoo, Randi-- who proceeded to got into a luaghing coughing fit of plague death upon sighting me, Andrew^2, one of which I nearly chased out of the classroom multiple times (good times, I might add). Saw the newest issue which will probably be waiting for me in the Union post office when I get home; it looked nice.

ukrazy, aka proper Ann, was busy takin' pitchers. Alessia was all OMG WHEN DID YOU GET HERE when I'd been there the entire class period, Ben was an idiot, as per usual... good times, basically.

Man, I'm just name droppin' like a MOFO tonight. Anyway. Walked home from school because Liz wasn't there to kidnap me, and Tess flaked on our afternoon plans. It was cool, but not too cold, and not very long. Just boring, mostly. Came home and watched most of Girl, Interrupted, and can I say I like Angelina Jolie even more now? I didn't much think it was possible, especially as she was being a disturbed sociopath, but still. Good times.

Uh, dad came home with a DODGE FUCKING CHARGER as his rental car-- I shall be stealing it anon. (Yeah, the 'rents went to Beaumont to get his Durango, leaving me transportation-less in all senses today, hence the walking home.)

Finally made it over to Amalie's, where I proceed to be attacked by dogs, hugged and have to retell the ordeal that was my adventure home over dinner. It was like, yeah, and then THIS happened, and then OMG that sucked so bad, etc. etc.

Then.

My friends.

God wanted me to learn Trig for a reason.

Amalie is about to start studying pre-cal, since her final is tomorrow. And MomO tells me I can't stay late unless I'm gonna help her study, which she thinks is a not so much. Well, let me tell you. The stuff she was having the most problems with?




*dramatic pause*




TRIGONOMETRY.

And it's all the easy stuff and I'm like, well if you do this chart and she's all OMFG THIS IS THE CHART OF LIFE and she calls up Devyn her BFF who is awesome and snarky and my twin of Innate Awesomeness like OMG DEVYN... DARIENNE IS LIKE A GODDESS... WITH TRIG IN HER BRAIN and I explain them how to find exact values and simple formulas and things I KNOW HOW TO DO and I basically saved the day. Devyn (on speakerphone) started praising Jesus and giggling madly and was like "I think I just shat my pants" and I just could have been helping them all weekend is the only thing.

Yeah, so I did that for like, three hours. But I was happy to because I was helping, and understood it and stuff.

Finally told her to stop flaking on me. I need to tell some other people too. I understand that I'm going to break promises that I make about being where I'm supposed to be or doing things I said I'd do, and I hate hypocrites, but it upsets me in that it depresses me more than makes me angry.

If you tell me you're going to do something for me, or come see me, or meet me somewhere, or hang out with me, don't flake on me.

It pisses me off, but mostly it makes me feel lonely.

Don't promise something if you're not going to do it. Don't promise you'll call if you're not gonna or you're going to forget or you won't have time. Don't say you'll read something for me and then don't. Don't say lets go see a movie and have me find you've gone and done something else. Just don't.

If you have to break plans, break them. If you had a prior commitment you forgot about, it's not a big deal, just say, "Sorry, but I forgot I was going to do this," and I won't be mad. I'll be happier that you told me you weren't going to do what you said, rather than me having to find out some other way, or a hurried, "Oh yeah, forgot I said that, can't be there, sorry," crap excuse. Then I'd rather you have not made the promise in the first place. This applies to everyone, and I don't mean to say that all of you have done this to me, or that you haven't. I also know I need to apply this to myself more often and hold myself to this standard. If I've done this to you, I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry you had to go through that-- just suddenly had to get it off my chest.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some Voyager to watch since Spike only shows it at midnight now.
