i clearly did not read the memos

i wore my really awesome really cool button bracelets today. me and my little cousin Nicla made them when i was in Italy this summer. have i mentioned i wanna go back ?

so yeah i forgot to tell you, Sunday morning i was watching TV, when all of a sudden
DEXTER'S LABORATORY came on and i almost quite literally peed myself.
it's one of those cartoons i whole-heartedly loved. i never got sick of it, i never got annoyed with it, i just loved it to DEATH I TELL YOU. so i watch that. and i'm going to make it a point to watch it every week 'til i die. or it dies. one of the two. one thing that i noticed though was Dexter's accent. when i was a kid, it didn't really phase me that Dexter has a foreign accent. it's actually really funny. but when i watched it yesterday, i was like WHOA Dexter's an immigrant!! well, no, but he has the accent. it's so cool. but weird how i just realized this now..

i also had a discussion with Stephane about Pogs. probably the greatest joy of life. (P.O.G. = probably of greatest hahaha) anyways, yes. last year i slipped five really sweet pogs into his wallet when he left it at my house, and we started talking about them. i played Pogs all the time in Beverly when i was a youngin. they were THE coolest, actually that was my BigFoot Slammer. wow. amazing. never let me down that thing. one side was haulographic and the other side was this rubber stuff that smelled so good like bubblegum. i still have it. i still have all of them actually, even the ones me and my brother HOME MADE. yeah that's right.

i have also come to realize that grade eleven is probably the biggest slap in the face ever. i mean, grade ten's easy, 'cause you just got out of junior high blah blah, but grade eleven is when you realize a) you really are as dumb as you always thought you were, b) you really aren't as smart as you thought you were, c) you can't bullshit you're way out of anything anymore, d) you graduate next year, meaning everything you do now affects everything you do next year affects your whole
entire
life.

i clearly did not read the memos. you know, the really big bright ones that everyone's been flashing towards me since i was in, like elementary.
