My First Day of School
By Miss Kathryne Doran
I knew where my first class was. Getting there was half the battle as the idiots in charge have decided that students cannot use the hallway that leads directly to classrooms 1 - 3. Bastards. I glanced at my schedule and then at the school map. Then I realized something, I didn’t know where the next three classes really were, this gave me a phenomenal idea.
My Auntie B-Money has always told me to never, never, miss a good shoe sale. In fact, missing a good shoe sale might actually cause her to fly out here and force me to inhale second-hand smoke until I came to my senses. Therefore, since there was an excellent shoe sale down the street and I was having a difficult time locating the next three classes… I bailed. To the sale. Which is not the same as ditching because I had my priorities straight. Sale = $ Saved. And, we all know that $ saved is $ earned. Off to the sale I went.
:crazy:
Ok, this is all wrong. Just wrong. I would never ditch class and I would never miss a sale. I also love shopping online like my mom. So you can guess which one of us wrote that whole section up there. Hint - it wasn’t me.
The first day was a little hectic but I got through it. Going to first period was the easiest part, honestly. Getting to my second class was the hard part, I couldn’t find it, nor could i find any one around that I knew.
I was quite lucky that my third period was the same teacher as my first so that was easy. Fourth period I met up with my close friend, J (we both have the same teacher for 4th and 6th period) and we walked right past it and finally found someone and asked, we were really frustrated!
Then came lunch, now all 7th and 8th graders have lunch at the same time so it was crazy. My friend, K, ran right up to me! I was glad she was there, but she made me stay in the lunch line with her, even though I wasn’t buying my lunch!
So then on to 6th period and here is where trouble came into play, we were looking for where to go and next thing I know I’m all alone in a crowd of students. I was forced to ask an 8th grader for help!! Then I found out that the class I was looking for was RIGHT THERE. Although, I was happy to learn it was close!
Over all it was a good/hectic/fun/scary day! And, the second day? Was much, much better!!

Lame comment here….but I’m just going to say, “Me, too.” Well, except the Gore part. I liked him then, now I think he’s gone off the deep end a bit.

I dig just about everything you are about, sister. Right on!

My mother has recently taken up shooting and now owns a gun. If/when I have kids, they will not be allowed to stay at her house without either of us there.
That being said, you may have misinterpreted exhaustion with horror or judgment last night. IDJYF!
Oh yeah, and that post you linked to and that excerpt in no way would make someone know that Mike has guns. Just because your FIL did it doesn’t mean that he would do the same thing.

OK but it looks like that you just said “I believe the world would be a much better place if people would… respect each other’s differences…” UNLESS they are “gun rack installing, tobacco spitting, red-neck, right-wing, backwoods, snake-shaking, ignorant, conservatives.”
Is there something intrinsically wrong with gun rack installing, tobacco spitting, red-neck, right-wing, backwoods, snake-shaking, ignorant, conservatives that makes it OK for people to exclude them from being included with the people we are all supposed to be tolerant of?
If tolerance is a virtue all to itself why is it acceptable to be intolerant of gun rack installing, tobacco spitting, red-neck, right-wing, backwoods, snake-shaking, ignorant, conservatives?
Do non-gun-owning, non-chewing, socially progressive, urban, unsuperstitious, educated, conservatives pass muster?
HHMMMMMM??

Um, Mike owning a gun wasn’t a bomb. It being quarter after midnight, I guess, was the “bomb”.
I, personally, don’t like guns. I don’t like to be around them. I don’t like them in my house. Watching someone clean them in your living room over and over while they explain that they could “shoot you from 100 yards away and no one would know” tends to make a person a little uncomfortable around firearms I think.
But I’m not anti-gun. Fuck, I live in IOWA. You want to go shoot a deer or a squirrel or a WHATEVER, knock yourself out.
Just don’t ask to store the thing in my closet when you’re done.
And also - I don’t think your beliefs contradict each other too bad. Almost all of them fall under the “stay the fuck out of my yard and mind your own business” umbrella. :smile:

KG Yeah… but he means well.
Mr. Fab Thank you very much! :mrgreen:
Avi Actually, I knew all of that (other than the stuff about your mother) and other than it being a set up for a half ass decent post (which I desperately needed) I really didn’t think it was that much of a bomb.
And on the post - uh, did you miss this part:
“Although, he did instill a healthy respect of nature and firearms in both of his children.”
RW I assure you that is not what I said or intended and where I live, I have to be tolerant of them all the time. I don’t like them, but that’s not the same as being tolerant. :mrgreen:
Miss B Like I mentioned above, I didn’t really think it was that big of a bomb - it just inspired the post I desperately needed. :mrgreen:

I also support the right to bare asses.
June 7, 2007 @ 8:04 am
Well alright then… I was just worried about whether or not I was a snake-shaker… depending on the definition. Heh…
June 7, 2007 @ 8:17 am
Well, that one sentence implies they respect them, not that they collect or use them. So there!
June 7, 2007 @ 8:27 am
Joe Me too, but there should probably be some… uh… guidelines or something. Off the top of my head, I can think of some asses (see pic from previous post) that should NOT be bare. YOu know?
RW Well, yes, uh… I can certainly understand your concern and uh…. well…
Avi Pffft. You and your technicalities.
June 7, 2007 @ 9:13 am
I love you. Will you marry me…that is if you support bisexual bigamy.
You rock my world. You have more common sense than 99% of the people I know.
June 7, 2007 @ 9:14 am
oops. I forgot to check the little box.
June 7, 2007 @ 9:19 am
Miss Ann Awwww, coming from you - of COURSE I can support that! :grin:
June 7, 2007 @ 10:22 am
Ok, that’s it. I am now officially declaring you partly Dutch. You could fit right in over here with no problems whatsoever! :mrgreen:
June 7, 2007 @ 10:34 am
DutchBitch WOO HOO - where do I sign up? :mrgreen:
June 7, 2007 @ 10:41 am
Oh yeah…and I guess I should mention that while I agree with most of that (with the exception of–bless his little crazy heart–Gore) I am a conservative?
You may now go scratch your head and ponder that. :lol:
June 7, 2007 @ 2:02 pm
Amy, I think your list makes you *gasp* middle of the road! You see both sides of the right and the left. *gasp* Our lists would look very much the same. But then, I come from a house, when hunting season rolls around, may have enough weapons to be considered a “compound”. But don’t worry - there is no tobacco spitting or snake shaking.
June 7, 2007 @ 2:36 pm
KG I knew that… and yet, you just don’t seem conservative. Not that being that or looking like it or not looking like it is a bad thing. :mrgreen:
Crazy Lady Compound! HA! That’s GREAT! But, I am thrilled to no end to hear that there is no tobacco spitting or snake shaking. I can’t stand animal abuse. :twisted:
June 7, 2007 @ 5:07 pm
Hell, I think everybody ought to own a gun - and know how to use it.
Fuggem, I’m cranky…
LOL
June 7, 2007 @ 5:11 pm
PS - I loved your list - could have said it all myself, but you did it better.
August 23, 2007 @ 5:13 am
Well, you know what they say. If you’re really nervous, just strip down to your underwear. Or something like that.
August 23, 2007 @ 5:27 am
Ah MAN, and here I was all excited that you linked me in your post.
But it was just your MOM.
(Glad you had a good day!)
August 23, 2007 @ 9:48 am
But you MADE IT! :rock:
August 23, 2007 @ 10:29 am
I’m really pleased you didn’t actually ditch and go shoe shopping, (because the really good sales are until this weekend!!)
Glad things are going well!
August 23, 2007 @ 11:42 am
I’m going to let Kate reply to you guys personally… but I did want to tell Britt that Kate really did help with that first section she thought it was very funny!
August 23, 2007 @ 12:19 pm
ok, I’m gonna have to take exception here Katie Potatie, I taught you how to shop, and by Georgie Porgie your first words were, “Look Nana, it’s a SALE!”…cuz we cannot count the large eyes and the “ohhhhh”, when you were 7 months old at the jewelery counter as we were looking at the diamonds!
:kiss: You are totally COOL! :heartbeat:
August 23, 2007 @ 12:38 pm
:lmao: This is very true, Mom. Although, the sale comment in this post is mainly in regards to shoe shopping. Now, just shopping-shopping is ALL Nana’s doing.
And… thank you very much.
