Emma's Online Journal

WHOO! YAY MARDI GRAS! Okay, I haven't updated in a while...so stuff's been happening...like Valentines Day. Reed sent me a heart shaped box of chocolates, WHO CARES IF IT'S CLICHE? It was really sweet...and he, like, mailed it. Even though he could've just given it to Ty while he was up there with their parents for parents weekend. That would've been much easier. That's what I did. Admittedly, it was Ty's idea, and although my deadline was a week earlier than it should've been, at least it was more convenient. WHEN do I have time to go to the post office? I think he has one on his campus or something. w/e

Mardi Gras' been pretty awesome so far. I got my first shoe from Muses! Yay! Last night was Hermes and Krewe D'Etat. Today is Iris and Endymion, which is totally awesome! Bizzy and Ty, Luke, and their parents and grandmother are all coming over at about eleven, which is when Iris starts. They're coming here because we live a couple blocks away from the parade route, which is REALLY convenient. Last night, Luke (age six) was sitting in his ladder seat, and he caught a ton of stuff! Beads were practically falling off of him! It was so cute! But right now I'm resting in my room this Saturday morning. I'm really tired because last night I was really high. Not high on drugs, but high in the sense where I was naturally really happy and excited. Plus I had a huge thing of hot chocolate, which was good because it was FREEZING! But it also meant that I was really hyper.

So Reed, Ty, and Luke's grandmother is in town for Mardi Gras. She's like really, really nice. But it feels like she's judging me, which is kind of awkward. I mean, I'm Reed's first girlfriend (and vice-versa, fyi), so I guess she wants to figure out why or something. And figure out what I'm like. Which is only natural, I guess. But she's been talking to Heidi (the boys' mom) about it. I know this because they were talking when I was standing behind Luke on the ladder and they were looking at me and I specifically heard the words "his relationship". It's just a little weird, although she is really nice and I like her.

So...once I figure out how to have an extended article onto the journal I'll describe Mardi Gras in more depth! I LOVE this holiday!
