So today I was trying to start Ms. Hermatz's essay

and I've been prolonging it longer then any other procrastinator should prolong an English essay. Especially if Ms. Hermatz is your teacher.. Anyways, I'm sitting down in my foldaway chair and I'm getting ready to type, my fingers hovering above the keyboard, when I suddenly begin typing. This is what I wrote:


Duy Tu
Period 2
Ms. Hermatz

Hills Like White Elephants


Life is full of surprises.














































Yeah. No. Yeah. That's all. Just. WOW. Life is full of surprises? I mean what. the. fuck???? It was so random. So, uncalled for. So stupid. I didn't even know where else to go with that. So cliche as well. So I stopped because I didn't know what else to type. I mean what else could you type. What more elaborations could I come up with after "Life is full of surprises,"?
I mean seriously. You can't. I can't. And that's where I stayed...

until 6:42 in the morning the next day when I woke up on top of my keyboard, dog between my crotch, head aching. I shooed Parmesan from in between my legs and rubbed my eyes. I glanced lazily, with one eye, at the glowing screen and came face to face with the teasing "Life is full of surprises" sentence. Jesus. How ironic that I would type that right before I "surprised" myself into a slumber. Irony. My literary device.

upppdate

So...

Life's pretty hectic right now, but somehow, I know I'll pull through. You know how like, you always procrastinate, but in the end, you somehow end out on top? Not saying I believe you SHOULD procrastinate, because procrastinating is bad, bad, bad...
Anyways, today Scottie calls me up and asks if he can stop by, and because I love him lots and because I missed him tons I agreed with an "OF COURSE YOU MAY!" Two minutes later, I hear his car in my driveway. I look out the window and scream his name.
" SCOTTTIIIIIIEIEIEIEIIE!!"
"DUY! OMG! YOU'RE BALD! COME OPEN THE DOOR!"
I tell him to ring the doorbell as I hurriedly check myself in the mirror. My sister lets him in and he gets mangled by Parmesan. Haha. He eventually outsmarts the beast, and dodges pass him and up the stairs. We hug. Correction, we SMOTHER EACH OTHER. I embraced him and he snaked around my entire body! Okay I'm not gay but this is just how we hug haha. He basically clambers up my body like a squirrel up a tree trunk and we collapse onto my bed. Oh nostalgia hits me like a sudden October shower. What bliss. After a bit of catching up, and a lot of "YOU SHAVED YOUR HEAD?!" he tells me that he had just gone to visit MARILLLLYYYYNNN!!! I FLIP OUT. and like karate kick his gay ass. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!" "I FEEL SO BAD!" "YOU VISITED HER BEFORE MEEe?!?!!?" So after a lot of fussing and bickering (playful bickering =]) We decide to go visit her AGAIN for my sake. =] We scramble outside, and dash for the Acura. (my dad doesnt know im going out) After our little Great Escape, we drive up to Marilyn's house and park outside along the corner. I run out and jump around breathing in the air as memories flow back to me. We stand outside Marilyn's front door for five minutes, watching her from her kitchen window as she prepares meatloaf for dinner. After some helpless yelps and cries, we refer to the doorbell and instantly catch her attention. I quickly duck down, but the eyes on the back of her head spotted me the minute she heard the doorbell. She opens the door and I have an orgasmic EXPLOSION of EPIC PROPORTIONS. Do you remember that one scene in "The Notebook" where the two lovers finally see each other again after like a bajillion years and then like jump on each other like frisky young puppies? Times twenty two. yeah. Haha. After I had screamed my sorries and "I SHOULD'VE CAME TO VISIT YOU SOOONER!" we settled in and I met Venca (lord please tell me I got that right.) Venca is the Czech foreign exchange "student" this year and another notch on Marilyn's belt of...well, exchange students. Well, it's actually more like another member of her family because she kindles a very special bond with her exchange "students". See how I have to put "students" in quotations? It's because they're more like CHILDREN to her than anything else. Students to EV but kids to her. It's sweet really. I would have to say I'm one over her kids too. haha. Anyways, Venca is 18 years old and plays volleyball. He's the friend of a former exchange student (Honza) and is pretty tall haha. Anyways we talked and chatted and he showed us his room and it was cool and he had photos up and all that. Then out of nowhere Alessandro shows up at the bedroom doorway and introduces himself.
"Hi, im alessandro en im frum etaly." hahaha. =]
We talked a lot about stuff:sports, memories, school, phones, pizza and legato hahaha. They were nice guys. After a lot of delayed departures and quick information exchanges, we ended up with each other's emails, phone numbers, and myspaces. When we finally left, we had spent almost an hour there. Scottie had somewhere to go so he was pretty pissed that I had wasted so much time hugging the stuffing out of Marilyn, but hey, I couldn't help it. She's just so adorable!








Note: Marilyn's birthday is coming up! PARTY!
