::Yawn::. I'm so totally tired! I stayed up until, like, one in the morning doing the four paragraph English journal essay that I forgot, for Mrs. Spears class. It was an essay entitled "What I Look for In A Friend" I copied it and stapled it in: (Glue is totally passe!)

What I Look For In A Friend
By Lana Weinberger

When choosing friends, it is totally not hard to decide who will be my friend, and who won't. My friends have to be popular. If my friends aren't totally and completely popular, my reputation will just slide down the faucet! To be popular, you have to wear cool clothes. So obviously all my friends buy apparel from stores like Gucci, Chanel, Abercrombie and Fitch, etc. Just like me!
My friends also have to be pretty, and have a well defined hair color i.e. brown, black, blonde (this one is a definite pro), or, if you are unlucky enough to have brown or black hair when you want blonde, highlights are a must.
My friends have to be on the cheerleading team. Forget all those lame contact sports and everything. Those sports are not for girls! Cheerleading is. People who think cheerleading is not a sport are odd in the head (to put it kindly). Because it so definitely is!
To put it widely, I would say that I will "chill" with anyone who isn't going to ruin my reputation. Because there isn't anything more important to me (with the slight exception of my Gucci purse and watermelon lip gloss) than my reputation, which is in fact, with the student population anyways, flawless!

I seriously hope Mrs. Spears gives me a good grade! Because I spent like twenty whole minutes on that essay, when I could have been watching TV or applying mascara!

English

I can't believe Mrs. Spears. You will not believe what she assigned. Actually, who she assigned. We have to do a group reading project on this book called Jane Eyre, and I have to do it with MIA THERMOPOLIS, LILLY MOSCOVITZ, and SHAMEEKA TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!! What is this world coming to????? When popular and pretty girls have to work with grade A geeks????? Of course, Mia, Lilly, and Shameeka didn't seem very happy about it, but I can't imagine why. I mean, it will totally boost their reputation, while lowering mine to an all time low (with the exception of when Josh broke up with me). I can't believe this. We have to read the book out loud together and we have two choices. We can either just write a summary of each chapter, or we can make "comment pages" where we will write out a conversation between all of us about each chapter, with our opinions based on what is happening. This is going to be torture. We will be working on it in class every day for a month. Oh great, now she wants the groups to get together to talk about which one we're going to choose.

Me: "Ok, what do you girls want to do?"

Amelia: "I was sort of hoping that we could do the commentary"

Lilly: "Same here"

Shameeka: "Me too! What do you think Lana?"

What is her deal? Why is she trying to be all "including"? Because I really don't care whether I'm included in her dumb little group!

Me: "Umm, I really don't care. This is so dumb anyways!"

Lilly: "Fine. If you think it's so dumb, tell that to Mrs. Spears, and we can work in peace!"

Who does she think she is anyways? Plus, who actually reads Jane Eyre? It's not like it's good or anything!

Me: "Whatever. It's not like Jane Eyre is interesting anyways. Its just about some old fashioned girl who has rotten luck!"

Amelia: "Well, not exactly"

Me: "What would you know? Like you have any taste, Amelia"

Mrs. Spears: "I hope everyone is just brimming with ideas! We start tomorrow! Class dismissed."

Oh, great. I sooo look forward to English tomorrow. NOT!

Author's Note: Thanks again for all the reviews! I look forward to reading more of them!! Remember, tell me what I could improve in my writing! Oh and please excuse the whole "glue is totally passe" thing! Lana knows not what she says! She can't help being picky! Hehe ~Maia
