  Ah, I finally saw Amelie. Excellent. Spectacular. Easily my favorite. So wonderful I had to use fractured sentences. Lauren loaned it to me, after becoming irate that I had not witnessed its beauty before (“ Anna!
WHY! ?”) Lauren is simply lovely. We had a conversation about the dynamics within relationships, as far as our "circle"* is concerned. When Sarah, a girl in our English class, asked us how often we fight: L: We’re too lazy to fight. A: Wastes time and energy otherwise spent on eating. Or comparing height. Or talking about music. Or movies. Or men. Or college. Or anything, really. L: Word. We had the loveliest evening last night at the Oscar Party.
Adrienne made me Vegan things, and I felt bad because I didn’t dress up (it would have been far too out of character, so anti-bohemian) I would never have guessed that Annica , of all people, was capable of getting so twitter-patted about Lord of the Rings . She lost composure and it was like looking at myself in the mirror… except, I react in such a way to things like Ikea Hair-Care infomercials and John Mayer on the radio.
Laughter with friends is where it’s at. I fell like I am unable to be contained within the walls of a school building… no matter how easy the day is. I skipped school without a second thought. It was simply too gorgeous outside to be held hostage in side. I scurried all over downtown Spokane, visiting little shops with friendly shopkeepers. It was perfect sweater-over-tank-top weather, and I enjoyed it to the full extent. Affectionately… Anna
