It now being Thursday, I don't consider myself quite so screwed, schoolwork-wise. My Peace Studies paper is in (ages ago... yet for homework, we're now being assigned more reading in The Book of Holier-Than-Thou. Save me.) And my Ameri Lit position paper's due date was changed to today... so, of course, I didn't get it in. But I'll turn it in tomorrow, so it'll only be a day late. And I showed it to Mrs. Sullivan during lunch today, and she said it was fine (my thesis is apparently "very well-developed", and my writing "excellent". HA. Take THAT, Mrs. Morgan! [/immaturity] ). So it's all good. w00t. 

I went trick-or-treating with a bunch of 8th graders on Monday, because I am that cool. And yes, we trick-or-treat on the 30th here. I have no earthly idea why. I guess they don't want our local Mega-Religious folk cracking down on the town for letting us poor, innocent children run around at night on The Day of the Devil. Our town is very good at giving people what they want- unless you're part of the group that thinks the public library deserves a better home besides a tiny lot in the middle of a strip mall. If you're a bigot or homophobe, however, they'll gladly do your bidding. I've heard tell that the reason the freshman class color was changed from yellow to green was because parents complained that yellow was a 'gay' color. Yeah, I know. ::headdesk:: They're apparently fine with the teachers being yellow now, which we in US History Block E all found amusing. Because if I were a bigoted homophobe, I know I'd want my childrens' teachers wearing 'gay pride' colors. Oy. Y'know, we should totally have a Rainbow Day for Spirit Week, just to piss the jerks off. 

Okay, yes, I'm sorry. I'm being a bit of a jerk myself. But I can't help it. I'm tired. Blah.
