Subject: Good morning, Melissa, welcome to hell.
that was what i heard as i walked into sunday school this morning. we were having a discussion about hell. it was very interesting. andrew is one of the smartest guys i know, if not THE smartest. (he's a junior at gunn. the son of the really good tenor soloist who sang the pie jesu solo's at the memorial service.) it was a very, very good discussion.

ya know, i don't think i've spent enough time at church this weekend. 11-3:30 yesterday, 9-12 today, and then 6-8 tonight. sheesh.

as i share with my peers about the "more important" events of friday, i am being forced to explore a new side to the whole thing. freedom of expression. was my freedom of expression limited by the events? was it fair that i had to do what i did? was it right that i be punished for expressing myself? at the time, i didn't think of it that way. (but then again, i was also horrified that my close to perfect reputation with all of my teachers was being slowly diminished by what seems like an unimportant event.) besides, should it have been handled by the school? just as a general cry of rebellion: since when is it the SCHOOL'S duty to deal with the students' personal problems? i mean, if this is now the case, are people going to be sent to the office if a boy comes in, devastated, and says 'so-and-so doesn't like me! PLEASE, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE HER LIKE ME!' this doesn't seem reasonable AT ALL.

i'm really sorry to hear that alison is going to basically discontinue her journal, as louise did last year, because of MY unfortunate events caused by the content of my entries. but really, are journalists punished for writing what they feel about politicians? newspapers are public, aren't they?

as a final note, i think it's funny how bias makes people really bitchy and ignorant.

Let's ask Mr. Hayman to make it an essay assignment. The Melissa Essay (instead of the Lisa one. This is more interesting.)
Anyway, i like the portrayal of old whats-his-face in 'this girl doesn't like me. MAKE HER LIKE ME!' v.v. funny. kinda true also. i mean, WHAT WAS HIS POINT?you hurt his feelings boohoo? i mean, HELLO! no point in dragging the school in!

the melissa essay...LOL!! i can't beleive we all still remember mr. hayman's essay assignments! actually, that lisa one was memorable...partly because of the difficulty of the assignment and party because we all did so poorly on it! (well, everyone but louise and marcella...but that's typical...lol)

Mel ,

look it wasnt the schools place to intervine it was just that the person was either
in denial or really really confused because the words "i dont lyke you" didnt fall in the catagory of "hint/leave alone" so dont blame yourself, write whatver you want,be public, pple like that person shouldnt be able to have that much power over you when they cant even face rejection. AHEM. If that person is reading this and is offended, my opinion, my right of expression, and not the schools buisness. Mel if this is gonna get you in sum hot water you can delete it i just wanted you to read it.
