when i was younger, the day of may crowning where one lucky girl is selected to very slowly lower a tiny wreath of flowers onto the head of a statue of mary, i would go home and practice the painstaking ceremony. however, i was never allowed to crown mary. regardless, i would go home and sing the mary songs to myself while i created my own crown for the petite statue of mary in my backyard garden. i would then perform my own may crowning, against the desperate attempts of my school to hold me back from my true calling.
so, on the eve of my belated debut in the high school may crowning ceremony as a reader (pish-a), i just want to say one thing. what the hell is wrong with the yearbook staff this year? i'm going to submit pages to the yearbook company this afternoon. and as i'm looking through some of the pages, which were "checked" by our yearbook moderator, i find numerous BLATANT errors. The following list is an example of the horrendous errors i found, to my dismay: improperly aligned text, too much white space, gramatically incorrect captions, misspelled words, blurry pictures, and other such atrocities. when mr. parten came into the yearbook room to tell me that the building was closing, he found me curled up in a ball surrounded by previous, completed yearbooks with beautiful, long, gramatically-correct captions whimpering, "they're all against me" while i closed my eyes dreaming of the day when i am free from the petty constraints of the Souvenons-Nous.
