Ugh, morning

[xp_daytripper]

Too bad you can't get a note saying you're excused from class on account of whatever crisis of the month it is. Or day, at the rate we're going here. Never mind that I didn't sleep well on account of bad dreams again - that'll teach me to get into a 'discussion' with certain people just before I try to sleep - even with my human pillow. Still, I have to remind myself I've done all I can and it's not my fault if people are stupid and don't listen.

On that note - Ange? Forget about it - you'll never win with that one, and like you said, now's not the time. Come join me for the morning fag?

I promise. Cross my little black heart. I am many things, but cruel for the sake of cruelty is not one of them. Unless you're my brother, but that's a whole other jar of pickles. Or that fish that sounds like pickle.

That's a mystery, right there. Occasionally I'm not sure of what I'm trying to tell you, either. Maybe I am trying to tell you you need to go shopping, who knows?

Psh. You obviously had a wretched teacher. Speech is for anyone who cares to learn. That an etiquette. Do you have one of those classes here?

I do not think our Speech class was entirely the most ... traditional one.

Angelo is perfectly able to be polite and have good manners. It is making arguements and clear logical statements that he - and others - struggle with.

I got a B in the class and I struggle with it myself. Ms. Frost was a good teacher, but the material is not one that many of us were familiar with.

Ironically, the one of us who was - failed the class.

I am all for untraditional, myself.

Did she happen to play the, "Who can get the most information at a dinner party?" game with you? That was always my favourite, even if it did have a rather boring title.

I believe Speech and etiquette should really be a double class; they're quite important and work very well together, so long as you know when they are not needed. Or, better yet, when you can get away with dismissing them. They're more building blocks for getting your way in a polite manner. I jest.

You are Marie-Ange, oui? The pretty girl that assists my brother in class?

No, but we did play a LOT of poker.

As it turns out, I am entirely too good at poker for my own good. Not as good as Kitty, because Kitty does a scary math thing, and not as good as Doug, because Doug always always always knows when I am bluffing, but good.

I am Marie-Ange, oui. But I have not assisted Paul in class for some time. There were... philosophical differences.

Ah, poker. How I miss it. I do suppose no one lost any clothes, though.

Thank you for the inside information. I will be sure not to play with those two, or, if I do, be ready to lose.

(Sometimes losing can be just as fun as winning, I've found.)

Was he being a bitch again? I'm sorry, he has... moments? You are welcome to come assist if you like when I hijack his class one of these days. Not that you know about said hijacking, non.

The only time anyone lost clothes is when someone poured soda on Manuel's lap for being crass.

He and I had a difference of opinion on how teachers should treat students. And as it turns out, I have far, far more history homework than I expected, so I would have had to drop it anyway.

Though, if you intend to hijack, I can remind the class of the linguistic slip about passing gas. It plagued me for weeks when I was assisting for Ms. Frost, I think it is only fair to pass it along.
