vw, it's supereasy to defer. Just call, they'll send you the paper. Easy-easy.

Ugh. Guess I'm gonna have to make some phone calls on Monday.

Ugh indeed. Hope Emily's right about the easy deferral process.

And, um, thanks for all the lovely compliments last night, but....all I got was a haircut. I haven't changed my haircolor. It's just really faded right now.

Yeah...it's just I suck at actually filling out the paperwork. But, I'll try really hard to be better about it. I need to get it taken care of quickly, though, so it's figured out before the first payment.

I have to write 2 final exam essays. Now. (well, this weekend) Argh.

Also, it is muthafucking POURING outside.

Also, I am now on vacation. Though until I finish these essays, it doesn't feel like vacation.

YUP! Good reason to stay in and work on those essays so you don't go to the grocery store DRENCHED like I was. (No, really, I had to squeeze out my pants.)

You might be able to apply for a deferment online, vw. If your loan holder offers that service.

I'm torn between thinking it's totally punk rock and AWESOME and thinking no, it's just the outward symbol of my inner laziness and something I should fix

Dude, having an outward symbol of your inner laziness is totally punk rock and awesome! Especially if it's green hair.

The outward symbol of my inner laziness is mostly split ends. Not nearly as sexy.

Finish your essays so you can be all WHEEE-VACATION, Nora.

Depending on your relationship with the boy, after the birth control mention, you might toss something like - you know your mother and I talk and I'm sure she would rather hear about last night from you than from me. Not a threat, but just an "I won't cover for you" notice. Again, this all depends on your relationship with the two of them.

Again, all depending on your relationship of course, but how old is the kid in question? I don't know - my gut reaction to all this is: not my business. Unless you do really consider the mother a friend - I didn't see that in the post, but if so that's obviously different. But if not - I'm not sure why you would say anything anyway.

I'm with brenda on this one...

So, I've got big Mother's Day Dinner and then The Presentation (TM) with mom and dad tomorrow. I'm "thinking" about putting together a soundtrack to play, because I'm EVIL. The first song? Dearly Beloved by Faith Hill:

Good morning,
dearly beloved
we are gathered here today
to watch two people we know
make a big mistake.
They’ll stand up at the altar
and solemnly swear; “I do”
They’ll be together forever
’till they find somebody new.
Her daddy’s in the front row
muttering, “oh no,
here we go again.
They had a couple dates,
now she’s three months late.
And it’s twenty bucks a plate I spent, oh”
Good morning,
dearly beloved,
I’d like to welcome ya’ll
to see the side effects
of sex and alcohol.
Please bow your heads and join me
in a prayer for these two
who’ll be together forever
’till they find somebody new.
The bride is a flirt,
and the groom is much worse.
As he’s putting the ring on her,
he’s checking out the bridesmaids
thinking that he might take
the maid of honours honour, oh,
welcome, dearly beloved,
we are here this afternoon
to throw rice as these two
drive down the road to ruin
with cans tied to the bumper
and a draggin’ muffler too
they’ll be forever together
’till they find somebody new.
So raise your hand and join me,
here’s to the bride and groom
they’ll be together forever
’Till they find somebody new.

hmm, you may not want to be QUITE so confrontational, evil bug! But, it is funny to consider.

I know, I know. But, it's fun to think about being that evil.
