Legend

Swine Flu. I'll bet you've heard by now that Texas has closed all of it's school to prevent a pandemic. I don't buy it. You know how many people die each year from influenza? Around 36,000. You know how many (Americans) have died because of Swine Flu? 0. That's Z-E-R-O. Do you know what the symptoms are of the dreaded Swine Flu? Coughing, fever, lethargy, and lack of appetite. In some rare cases, vomiting has occurred. So what? I've vomited before! I think we can handle it. Unless you have an immune system that's weaker than Beyonce's performance in "Obsessed", you should be alright. Just like the rest of America. Besides, why are only Mexicans dying? I wonder if it has anything to do with the water they drink. You know how it imparts the wrath of Montezuma on any unwitting foreigner? I don't know why that is, and one of my best friends is Mexican. Oh! Oh lord! What if Dan gets Swine Flu?! That'd be terrible! He might give it to me! ...I digress. I highly doubt that the Swine Flu is going to bring down the USA. But if it does, I hope I'm near Will Smith. He knows how to deal with all sorts of problems in any post-apocalyptic environment, apparently.

People have been getting under my skin, lately. Whether I'm at school or not, someone I don't really like finds me and insists on talking to me. I used to be really good at sending bad vibes to the occasional Matt Maile or the Mike Eisenberg, but it seems I've lost that ability. Annoyances seem to be coming from everywhere. This might be a pipe-dream, but I wish I could get some peace and quiet at school. Maybe I shouldn't have been so darn charismatic. Now everyone thinks I'm their friend. I think it's because Kaita's lost her voice. She's a lot of fun to talk to, but now that she can't talk, people think it's their free ticket to talk to me. Well, IT'S NOT! Baugh!

I got my yearbook today. I don't really like it very much. My senior portrait is nice, and I know my quote doesn't make any sense, but it's kinda weak. I mean, Wes Diaz and Alli Canterbury and Britney Cosma are on every page, and Chase Sammons (Chambers?) has like, 3 full pages advertising, well, himself. Looking at pictures of all the people I've been passing in the hall for 4 years just makes me realize how unsavory I find these students. Plus, I'm kind of embarrassed of my school. It's sort of sad.

I remember the first time I got an 8 on a Kasenow paper and was inducted into the "5 Club". I bragged to one of my friends at Ft. Myers High about it and she said, "So what? You go to South!". So true!

I think I'm done writing. Er, typing. Tomorrow is Friday! See you all later.
