Subject: Additional people to invite to the baby shower/baby coming out party

Time sent: 2/1/2009 09:23:52

Sorry, I didn't read this until this morning. After watching my boyfriend be a little bit too close to his other 'friend' yesterday, I spent the afternoon at the hospital with Tiffany. Nothing has changed.

There are a few family members that you forgot to invite. Is it OK if I forward this invitation to a few other people? Don't worry there's no way in hell I am inviting Tiffany's 'mom' but I'm sure her biological mom's sister and brother would want to come.

Just so you know, Tiffany's 'mom' showed up to see her at the Hospital yesterday. Fortunately, it was 30 minutes after your Aunt Claudia left with the twins. Hospital security escorted her out before she could cause a scene.

Okay, even the girlfriend realizes that her boyfriend is too close to Marc. This may end badly.

I don't know if we should invite any of Tiffany's mom's relatives. What if they tell her about the party and she crashes with her legal team?

Should we be worried about Tiffany's mom showing up to the hospital again?

Actually, I don't think it's going to be that bad. Kerri didn't seem that upset.

I will send Kerri a message about not inviting anyone from Tiffany's mother's side of the family.

I'm already worried about Tiffany's mom or your father crashing the event. Just in case, I'm going to talk to the hotel about adding extra security.

Last night, my dad suggested we should get a bodyguard for us and the babies. He's really worried about your dad. He is even worried about Kim's mom doing something stupid again. We'll talk about this in person because Princess Junior just started crying.

Chad and I talked and we decided that we don't want to take the risk of inviting anyone from Tiffany's mom's side of the family. It could cause problems. The custody talks are going so badly that Chad and I are acquiescing to my dad's demand that we get a personal bodyguard.

We're not even inviting some of Chad's family to the thing for the same reason. Things are just too complicated right now.

Like I would invite anybody from Marisol's family to the babies' party! I said biological mother. I was talking about Tiffany's birth mother. You did notice that Marisol seemed to be a little too light skin to actually be Tiffany's biological mom?

I don't know how much Tiffany told you about her childhood but it was pretty screwed up. Tiffany's biological mother was also named Olivia. She died when Tiffany was 11 months old in a car accident that killed two other people, thanks to some idiot drunk driver. It was horrible. I think Tiffany only survived because of her car seat. I also think this is the reason why Tiffany made plans in case something happened before the twins were even born. She knew firsthand how uncertain things can be.

This all happened before I was born but according to other family members, Uncle Isaac was absolutely devastated. I don't know because I never met him. He died in the first Iraq war before I was even born. Six months before being deployed, he married the bitch. From that point, the whole thing deteriorated into your classic Cinderella story but without the ugly stepsisters.

Should I be happy that you actually invited me to this baby shower or did your fiancé just invite me to get more gifts? Why do your brother and sister need more gifts? Your girlfriend has a shopping problem. Those two are already spoiled and their barely a week old. I bet they are adorable in person. I'll come by as soon as I can.

Remind me again why I agreed to go to Arizona with Amanda? We had to stop four times for her to throw up. I hope whatever she has is not contagious. My schedule is too busy to get sick. I am trying to convince her to see a doctor on Monday but you know how stubborn she is.

Yes, you are actually invited to the party. I put you on the list myself. We like you a lot better than my father and Tiffany's mother.

You went to Arizona to protect your friend from your ex boyfriend who completely fucked you over because he was afraid that we would all hate him for sleeping with the enemy literally. It's amazing how ridiculous the East High and West High rivalry seems after graduation.

I don't know if it's a bad thing but Zeke really does like Amanda. He definitely cares about her more than he ever did about Sharpay.

I don't know how to get Amanda to actually go to the doctor. I suggest asking Kim for assistance when she gets back from California. You are going to need the guilt trip powers of an actual mother to make any progress with her. She is way too stubborn.

I don't really understand why my girlfriend is soliciting presence from everyone either. It's Sharpay. It is not our place to question her motivations. She is crazy sometimes but I love her. Sharpay said that she will e-mail you, Kim, Jason, and my future stepfather a bunch of songs that she wrote during high school. She promises to do it as soon as the babies stop crying, whenever the hell that will be. They never stop crying.

I also have to tell you the real reason why she posted that video to the Internet. You will think it's absolutely hilarious, maybe.

In an effort to try to steal Troy from Gabriella, Mercedes convinced Gabriella that Troy was sleeping with both you and Chad and he was using that particular video file for masturbation material. Because Gabriella, being absolutely paranoid because of the lack of medication she believed the manipulative bitch. She posted the video to get back at the two of you for fucking around with Troy behind her back.

I can't believe my father is buying Chad and me a condo. I think this is his biggest 'I'm sorry I miss your childhood' present to date. Then again, he's hiring Chad's mom so that probably is a guilt present in itself.

Let's cut the pleasantries. I need a favor. Because I'm so busy with the babies and school, I don't have time to do all the writing on this spring musical myself. I have some off the shelf stuff that I can give little Jason and company to work on but we need more songs. I'm so desperate I'm letting Penelope do a lot of the work. I am even desperate enough to accept the basketball song that Troy and Chad wrote together junior year. Surprisingly enough, it was actually usable although I like the junkyard song better but it does not work for this musical.

Due to my sudden foray into motherhood, I'm not going to be able to do all the writing on the musical given the Principle's unrealistic deadline. The play is not even going to happen until April at the earliest. I'm turning over what I have so far to the four of you. Everything I have written for my class this semester is labeled as such. I also included some things I actually wrote during junior year. Ryan even sent me a few things earlier today.

I can work with some of this. I like the new version of the cafeteria song better than the old version. However, I am not exactly sure our principle will be happy with openly gay characters in the musical or blatantly heterosexual characters for that matter. I think he is still trying to pretend that Jimmy does not exist. The principle hasn't done anything to the students that keep calling him the F word. That's just going to get Jimmy to take a scholarship from any number of the private schools in Albuquerque that want him on their basketball team faster.

I will write a second version of the song and some additional dialogue just in case.

The new basketball song is really good but I'm still worried about what our principle will say about the lyrics involving teen pregnancy or anything to do with sex at all. We might have to go back to the old version.

I also like I Want it All but I have no idea how to work that song into the plot. Jackie has some ideas and she is going to be helping me.

I'm not touching your brother's song called 'I don't dance'. I am 13 and I know that song is about sex. Maybe your brother was hoping that because the duet takes place between two guys, the homoerotic subtext would go over everybody's head but I instantly knew what he was talking about. Baseball and dancing have been used as code words for sex in literature for a very long time. How am I supposed to take the line, 'Lean back, tuck it in, take a chance.' not inappropriately?

Contrary to what my principle believes, 13 year olds know about sex. One of my former junior high classmates is now a patient of my mother's. She is in her second trimester because she was 'curious' without a condom last summer. We shouldn't be sheltered from this stuff.

The only song I can use completely without writing a 'clean version' is We're All in This Together. It's just sugary enough that it should pass the principles prudish standards without the man going into cardiac arrest.

Jackie, Penelope, and I will work on everything this week and hopefully we will have a draft to you, Mr. Bolton, and Ms Bolton a day or two before it's due to the principle.

The baseball song probably would have gotten past Dave but Jason is too smart not to pick up on the subtext. He knows what the term homoerotic means at 13.

Even I already know that we're going to have to write two versions of this play if we have any hope of getting it approved. Have you considered doing something else a bit more likely to get approved? Like a story from Alex's nursery rhyme book.

This is why you should not have sex when you're drunk. Even if you were sober enough to use a condom that may not have helped. Apparently, there are a lot of counterfeit condoms floating around. DLS just announced a recall of all their Tasty Pleasure Protection condoms yesterday.

I tried to talk her into taking the test this afternoon. She doesn't think it's possible because Kim made her take Plan B the next morning. That early morning trip to the pharmacy was how the entire Berkeley basketball scandal came out.

God, I hope not. The last person I had sex with tried to rape me when I said 'not tonight' and that was several weeks ago. Because it is now public record, you know that he's the same person who raped Sharpay almost three years ago. I don't want to think about that possibility.

No, it really is a friend. I think Amanda is pregnant. About a month ago, Amanda and a guy who will remain nameless got drunk at a party and they had sex. Now Amanda is really late and throwing up all the time. Neither I nor the guy she had sex with can convince her to take a pregnancy test. I need the advice of someone who knows what she is going through and I'm too afraid to ask Kim. Help?

Trust me, I understand. I get back to Albuquerque tomorrow. Did you suggest taking one with her? That is what my roommate did way back in 1990 to get me to take the test after I threw up on her shoes.

That might work but I need backup. She is too deep in denial for me to do this alone. I think I better wait until you get here. I will ask Kim and maybe Sharpay if I can work up the courage to tell her what's going on.

Principal Dave has decided not to even look at the script that everyone has worked so hard on. He decided to cancel the musical all together and I don't think he is going to find a new drama teacher for next year either.

I think this is retaliation for reporting my now former assistant coach to the state high school athletics authority for deliberately not letting Jimmy play in the state championship because he is bisexual. I'm sorry. I'm already sending out my resume to other schools.

That's not fair. Great now no one is going to see what we have been working on. Moments like these, make me wish I went straight to college early and skipped high school altogether. Why can't I go to a school with a sane principle? Private school is looking better all the time.

Why am I not surprised? Just because the principle says no doesn't mean the show's completely dead. There has to be another way to get the production made.

Because we need a stage and actors and our evil principle has just denied us access to those resources.

I can buy a stage. I could rent out the community theater if I wanted to. I have the money. I was paying for the whole production anyway before.

What if we put on the play without the school? I'm on my way to Kim's house anyway right now with Amanda. We should probably talk about this in person.

I can look into the possibility. I still know a lot of people on the board even though my dad resigned. They would probably do anything for an endowment from Kim.

The good news is Amanda is not pregnant. Apparently, she has stomach ulcers caused by a combination of bacteria and stress. The university's cafeteria food did not help. Unfortunately, during the mass pregnancy test exercise this morning, some of the others were not so lucky. Amanda didn't go to drama today so she could go to the university health center. I'm just glad it wasn't me. Chad's going to be mad as hell when he finds out and Kim probably has not stopped screaming yet. This is going to be ugly. Never buy flavored condoms from a lingerie store. I didn't say anything in drama class because I didn't want Chad to overhear.

Why do you never pick up your phone when I need you? This is a best friend emergency. I just found a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom at your Albuquerque house. That could only mean that Kim or Sharpay is pregnant. This is bad. Call me now.
