OMFG ENGLISH PRESENTATION ON GENOCIDE!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o

As you can probably see, I am SHOUTING. Five people had to do their presentation today, and thankfully I wasn't one of them. We're picking names out of a hat (bag, actually, one of the flimsy annoying hard-to-rub-open grocery store plastic bags), and I'd probably get picked earlier than if we did alphabetical order, because my last name starts with a T. We got some laughs out of the people who already went, though. Benson, who was Chinese, kept mispronouncing "Tutsis", saying it as "Tutus". In his presentation, the enemies were the Hutus, so it kinda sounded like this: "The Tutus killed the Hutus" (read aloud). Also, Vivien, who's German, thought "machetes" was pronounced "ma-chets", and with her accent, it sounded like "matches". After Ms. Rossiter, our teacher told her it was "ma-chet-ees", she continued deliberately saying "matches", and in the end Ms. Rossiter said: "Vivien, you don't use matches to kill people!" Another chunk of news: There's a Valentine's Day dance (a little late, I know) tomorrow, and rumor is that Mr. Davis (English teacher) asked Ms. Stellwagen (Drama) to it. My friends Holly and Jayme are going to check it out for themselves. They're not even going to wear dresses or anything, just jeans. A couple people from my grade went too, but none have dates (with the POSSIBLE exception of Alanna and Fin). None of my advisory buds are going, because our advisory would probably get an award for: "Most Emotionally Devoid Advisory- No Romanticism, No Roses Received By Mr. Reid's Order On Valentine's Day (I mean, some people got THREE roses, and our entire advisory of 21 people didn't get a single one)! Oh and at last period music, we had some kind of written theory work stuff to do, so Asha, Claire and I passed notes. I wrote in orange highlighter: "ASHA wants to be POPULAR." I mean, it's true. She's always talking to Vivien and her sidekicks. So, back to the note. When Asha read it, she turned around and said just loudly enough: "So does Charlotte." "What the heck!?!?!?!?" I replied. "I'm not fraternizing with Vivien!" Then she started denying any effort to be popular, so Claire butted in. In the end, Claire and I won the argument, because, as they say: "Two heads are better than one!" Signed: Doer Of All Things Stupid, Charlotte ;););)
