from mrs lawson, via sarah livengood:

We had to
adopt a new schedule because the Fire Marshall said we had too many
people in the dining room at one time. We will begin a new schedule
next week that has two lunch periods and no morning assembly. The
assembly will be mixed with break around 10:15.



salem really has gone all to hell. no devotions? two lunch periods?

[about bob dylan being featured on the victoria secret commercials]

why would a brand that's about sexiness, youth, andd glamour want any connection at all with a decrepit, sixtysomething folksinger? the answer, my friend, is totally unclear. the answer is totally unclear.
even if victoria's secret hopes to bring in more boomer women, do those women want their underwear to exude the spirit and essence of bob dylan? or conversely, is bob dylan the sort of man they're hoping to attract? even if you're of the belief that men frequently shop at vs for their ladies, i still don't see the appeal of this ad. i, for instance, am a man, and i can assure you that bob dylan is not what i'm looking for in a woman's undergarment. (and if i found him there--man, would that be disturbing.)
victoria's secret wouldn't return my calls, but media reports say the idea of putting dylan's face in the ad (they'd been using his song "love sick" in ads for the past year or so) came straight from corporate chief les wexner. to the company's surprise, dylan accepted their offer. it's at this point that someone at victoria's secret should have stopped the madness. just because you can hire bob dylan as the figurehead for your lingerie line, doesn't mean you should. perhaps no one was willing to say no to the big boss, or perhaps they fully expected dylan to say no. joke's on them.

yay for not being able to get to sleep

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every section of the movie, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

it's 5:30 in the morning and i can't sleep. i know why i can't sleep, but that doesn't help me at all. there are a bunch of things i want to do tomorrow (er, today), but i'm not sure if everywhere is going to be open since it's a day of mourning for gerald ford or whatever. which means the banks will be closed, which means i can't cash my christmas checks. i've been meaning to do that for a while, but shit keeps happening. i want to go back to school. i want to get out of north carolina. i want to get away from the people who always manage to make everything my fault. i hate it here. i hate being trapped here. i hate feeling completely alone all the time, especially when i'm surrounded by people i'd rather just get away from. but most of all i hate being curled up on my bed, bawling my eyes out at three in the morning and not having anyone in the world i can turn to to fix things. i'm overwhelmed with the feeling of wanting to go home, but i'm not sure where that is anymore. it sure as hell isn't here. it hasn't been for a very long time.
