My first ink polaroid please be kind.... It was the monday of the oscars, early when we were all arriving at school. We were all in our usual gathering place ( the one between deirdre and john's lockers). Theres me and lisa buzzing excitedly about elliott smith being on the oscars tonite, but i was troubled because i wasnt sure if troupe would carry me long into the nite and i would have to miss elliott. it all turned out ok however, i was home in bed waiting patiently ( then later not so patiently) by nine o'clock. i almost fell asleep but i splashed water on my face and said " brian its elliott!!" so i saw him in his white suit and with his guitar and fell asleep with a smile on my face. anyways, in the photo you can see tony and chris off in the lower corner with devilish grins on their faces - undoubtedly because of some silly new contraption or something devised by chris. then theres john sitting down somberly studying something i can't quite make out. near john, but standing is jade, all aglow also with the expectations of seeing elliott on the oscars. it turned out however that she missed the oscars, and had to watch a tape of them the next day. then theres deirdre all pretty in pink, with all her possessions lined out geometrically and in a way she thought pleasing to the eye. with a smile on her face suggesting she was giggling at the time ( deirdre in fact never laughs guffaws or chortles she merely giggles , for anything else would be unladylike and not very cute). lisa, jade and i were wary our conversation was in danger of being overheard, which is the reason we are all on the opposite side of the photo. finally there is mike, a very small smile on his face, slightly apart from everyone else ( a little inconvienent the way he always sits a little ways away, for he never talks in anything but a whisper). besides that, it was just another monday, filled with the unsettling thoughts of a whole day of problems and accidents just waiting to happen. ~Brian........who needs boys when there lisa around? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
