Have a wonderful day.

"Have a wonderful weekend," the announcement-lady said, and it got me thinking. There's no way she cares that all 800 kids in my school actually have a wonderful weekend. Either she's saying it for conventionality or she's insane...like all crazy-caring and stuff...and I'm inclined to go with the former. That being said, I wonder why people bother to say it. Well, I know why, to be kind. Act like you care and all that. But when someone says "Have a nice day!" they really could care less if you have a nice day. And when you say "You too!", you're only saying it because they say it first. Here's an idea: only say "Have a nice day" if you're willing to actually hear about someone's day later.

But I digress, even though I've been talking about this since I started. What I originally thought was: I'm a liar. Well, maybe not a liar, but I don't listen very well. Hardly ever do I have a "wonderful" weekend or even a wonderful day. I suppose I could have a so-so day, or an interesting day, but really, when do I even have a nice day? If someone bothers to tell me to have a wonderul day, then I better go out of my way to make it wonderful. I mean, it's not like they're actually handing you a wonderful day. You have to make one yourself!

So today, some obnoxious seventh graders took the table we sit in EVERY DAY, and we had to sit in the table they sit in EVERY DAY. I was not amused. Not amused at all.

Oh, and Basil occupied my thoughts pretty much the entire day. I barely went a minute without thinking about him. Just thought you'd like to know.

I really ought to go respond to the ONE comment Ali left for me, but alas, I don't want to. I'm too lazy, you see.

I need to pull something out of a hat and finish ILP, which sucked in so many ways this year.

Oh, and I'm having a sleepover at Kim's house with Kim and Silver tomorrow!! :D
