Hello to all three of you. The reason for the delay between the last entry and this one is that I lost internet access following a minor disagreement with my parents over whether homework ought to be actually completed and turned in or merely contemplated in a Zen-like trance state.

That’s actually not true. I’m not that much of a slacker. I know I should do my homework, but then I’ll skip one, and then I’ll get so depressed at how stupid I was for skipping it that I won’t have the energy to do more homework, and it becomes a long downward spiral that won’t terminate until a progress report comes home with “Missing Homework” written on it. Then my parents get furious and I get really ashamed and depressed and work my ass off for a week making everything up.

slacker at heart

You are a slacker, boy! What's wrong is that I work all along like I should, and I get all stressed out. What's wrong is how jealous I am of you because you do so much better than me. I am the the mocked meat of the egreen-eyed monster.

you are not a slacker - you are perseptive and caring and overburdened by a cookie cutter system of education - and you are a seeker of self-knowledge, one of the most important qualities to have

At least your father didn't actually "cut" the internet line...like mine did...and you have to sneak around at school to write in your livejournal...and well, it's been a hellishly long and tumultuous week. All thanks to my ex-boyfriend Trevin (Oyster).

homework

[(Anonymous)]

you kind of know me, or about me, but that's not the point! don't let the homework thing get you down - a lot of it is just busy work and you intelligent people know that -- you also have to know that busy work is the hallmark of much or our education system, so think of it as a hurdle you have to leap to reach your goal- you don't have to pole vault to get over it, just try not to knock it down ! get my meaning?

Thanks for the support!

. . . but I'm kind of curious. Who are you? Why might I know of you?

you know me only through someone you actually know - ask and perhaps they will tell you

Okay, I'm willing to play a round or two of your little guessing game. . . but don't try my patience. I'm not the world's biggest fan of anonymity.
So. . . shall we play 20 questions? Okay. Are you a friend of one of my school friends, or one of my LJ friends?
