  • (In answer to yesterday's comment: I was joking. Ask Laura, she might be able to explain.) Today I went to my brother's school expecting to chaperone him on a school trip to the zoo, but I couldn't because I was only se…

  • Up until almost 1 working on Chapter 20 last night. I wasn't tired, but the scene was turning into this whole Breakfast Club thing that didn't stop so I just gave up and went to bed. Today I went back to my old neighborh…

  • I finished Chapter 19 at 12:20 this morning. Chapter 20 isn't looking so good. A word of advice: if you're doing anything remotely important, don't go to www.mcsweeneys.net, and don't look at their "Lists." It's too funn…

  • Planned to write Chapter 19 today, but nothing really came by the time I had to go to Spencer's birthday party. It was a good time, but I was there all afternoon. Went wandering around in the woods with Priscilla, Greg a…

  • Chapter Eighteen of That Novel completely finished (And all in one day!) Only four more to go. Thursday is the day . . .

  • Today was my last last last last last day. I went up to Columbia this morning to accompany Merianne to a job interview - she's pretty sure she aced the test, though fingers are crossed she'll be asked to come back. Then …

  • I think the lyrics are kind of weird ("you brighten my life like a polystyrene hat?") but I'm still glad Kelsey burned me all of Silverchair, as she does for all her friends, last week. I still think Daniel Johns looks l…

  • Tomorrow I have to go back to school for my Calculus exam, which sucks because I have to be reminded I went to a place called "school," which only reminds me of all that I'll miss. But on the bright side my braces are co…

  • I went up to Laurel with my family today and discovered that I had once gone to a Catholic school, long before I went to public school. I knew I'd gone to some private school in DC when I was four, and I remembered there…

  • Yes. It's long, but it's worth it, and there will be a quiz tomorrow on the reading. The yearbook isn't supposed to come until Wednesday, when we leave, so I brought a big pad of paper to school yesterday and collected …

  • And all our sins come back to haunt us in the end To hang around and tap us on the shoulder And smile silent It's all implied "You'll die trying to live this down. You might as well forget it." Still, i'm con…

  • As close as possible now to being in a drug-induced haze without the actual drugs. So confused, not sure why. Complete sentences too much to ask. Someone told me Paul Hess compared the last week of senior year to being i…

  • (Find out how to express yourself at Blake, the Almighty Arts High School, at http://newsuburb2.tripod.com/picofweek.) I remember hearing "Time and Time Again" last year and being like "screw this, it's a pro-war song" …

  • My mother was watching TV in her room last night and I passed by and thought she was watching 8 Mile but I figured she wouldn't be into that. Then a few minutes later my dad and I went up there and she got mad at us for …

  • I lost my voice while at the Prom - my parents ask why and I can't really think of an explanation that doesn't have them both thinking their first-born has lost his innocence - so I can barely talk and it's forced me to …

  • I've got some friends, some that I hardly knowBut we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the worldWe chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go Prom today (sigh). For a while I was looking forwar…

  • Usually I'd be afraid of saying this but I figure no one reads this blog so I'm safe. But today, there were these assemblies on teen driving, and how to be careful - and, as you can imagine, the centerpiece was Alicia.…

  • I went to take the AP Psych exam today and Nick drove me and a friend up to the church. We went to Starbucks first, and the girl behind the counter happened to be Sloane, my crush from eighth grade. I really liked her, b…

  • (That's the theme song to life as we know it. Some say I was obsessed about the show, but they don't know Daniel "obsessed.") Word Count on That Novel: 100,530 words. Just now I thought I needed to go look somebody up i…

  • Did you know that some writers - like Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allen Poe and one of my favorites, Mark Twain - suffered from bipolar disorder? Even if they weren't born with it. It just . . . comes from being creative, …

  • Maybe I'm taking That Novel too seriously? I want to be done before the end of the month. Sooner than that. Two weeks? That'd be nice. I am bone dry of inspiration. I mean, it happens all the time, but now? I'm tempted t…

  • Tomorrow's the AP Calculus exam, at that big church down the street from Blake. At first I really didn't care about the exam . . . Mrs. Kodan was very amused, me being a C student, that I didn't really give a shit about …
