Further Adventures

I met the girls in town again yesterday. We were planning to go last week, but Kallie got sick. Emmy's dad has been on at her again, saying stuff about how she was just like her mom for getting pregnant so young. No wonder she moved out - it's apparently not a rare occurence. Go, Emmy. And hooray for public holidays meaning that Anna and her girls have an extra day off to complete their assignments!

Anyway, we met for a drink at a chocolate cafe. Yummy! Every single foodstuff there had some sort of chocolate in it. I had a hot chocolate (which was very large and very rich), and so did Kallie. Jade had truffles and chocolate chip chai, and Emmy had chocolate hearts. Jade's assessment is coming up, so she's kinda stressed with all the work that she has to do. Emmy doesn't seem to have much going on, but then again, I'm thinking that's how Emmy works. She doesn't get stressed or nervous or angry or anything, but she's not a perpetual bouncy optimist either. She's straight down the middle. Kallie doesn't have any school work, but her parents are giving her grief about everything, which is apparently their style.

The thing is, they all make me feel so normal. Kallie is cool about everything, really, and she's into the same music that I am. I've never met anyone else who listens to both Novalia and Sirenia (definitely my favorite bands from either side of the fence). She's promised that when I go to her house, she's going to introduce me to Octavia Sperati, who are one of her favorite bands. I'm resisting the urge to look up their music, but they sound really awesome.
Emmy, on the other hand, likes the Dresden Dolls and Emilie Autumn. Sacrilege! She likes everything on the other side of Faith and the Muse, and our music tastes cross there (unfortunately that includes Joanna Newsom, and I can't STAND her). She also thinks that this Octavia Sperati bunch are great, which, according to Kallie, is a redeeming feature of her musical tastes. She's not as bad as Jade, though. Jade actually LISTENS to Ke$ha and Lady Gaga! Bleaurgh. Mind you, she's turning out to be a pretty sweet person. She's decided that I need a new wardrobe, so she's taking me out shopping next weekend. I don't think this is going to be the sort of wardrobe that my housemaster would approve of, but so what! I can't wait. :D
