I always will remember,
'Twas a year ago November,
I went out to hunt some deer
On a morning bright and clear.
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.
I was in no mood to trifle,
I took down my trusty rifle
And went out to stalk my prey.
What a haul I made that day.
I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.
The law was very firm, it
Took away my permit,
The worst punishment I ever endured.
It turned out there was a reason,
Cows were out of season,
And one of the hunters wasn't insured...
People ask me how I do it
And I say there's nothing to it
You just stand there looking cute,
And when something moves, you shoot!
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, an a pure-bred Guernsey cow.

Today was okay, aside from mouthing off to my French teacher. She told us to close our books, then a minute later asked, "Is that how it says it in the book?" and I answered, "We don't know, our books are closed." She didn't like that. I downloaded the Common Application last night, and it had two teacher evaluation forms, so I asked Ms. Harrington to fill one out today. I was going to have Madame Brandt do the other one, but I decided today wasn't the best day to ask. There was also a Statement of Good Standing for the dean of students to send, and I took that up to the fifth floor. My SAT scores are up on the website, but the score report isn't yet, so I have no idea what the numbers mean. I did some Google searching, but everything I found was for the SAT I, not the Subject Tests. I'll get the score report on the 18th, though.
I'm doing better. Everything still reminds me of Evan (that song- he liked hunting) but I'm not randomly bursting out crying at inopportune moments anymore. Mom decided to stay in New York for a few more days, which means she'll miss Valentine's Day and the Casablanca/Korma Sutra date she and Bill had planned. He's pretty bummed about that, but he understands why she needs to stay and support her sister.
Anybody want to get together tomorrow to celebrate being single? We could rent Down With Love or something, although I suspect that one ends with Renee Zellweger's character discovering that love isn't so bad after all.
EDIT: If anybody reads Metanoia, I wrote an entry for the Valentine's Day contest. (Don't bother reading it if you don't read the comic, it won't make any sense at all.)
