SIX MESSAGES on the phone when I got up (late, at 11:30). SIX. All from mechamom. I paraphrase them below.

The first: "Okay, it's 5 AM, and you didn't answer, so I can only assume something must be very wrong, if you don't call me by noon I'm coming down there." (italics added to point out the ACTUAL QUOTE)

The second: "Come on, answer the phone already! Obviously if you do not then you are dead or otherwise indisposed!"

The third: "It is now 6 AM, and I am getting VERY worried. If you don't call me by 7 I'm coming down there to deal with your corpses." <----- note how the deadline changes!

The fourth: "Look, your dad told me he tried to call you three times [untrue -- he called ONCE, left the message 'John, are you there?', and then IMMEDIATELY hung up. excuse us if we didn't feel that responding was a high priority.] and emailed you three times [it is a known issue that mecha never checks his email] and basically you just better call me or else."

The fifth: "Okay, it's 7, I'm leaving pretty soon, TALK TO ME"

The sixth was just more of the same about how not answering phone == horribly horribly murdered.

My favorite part is where she expects mecha to answer phone at FIVE FUCKING AM right after having worked till MIDNIGHT the night before. I mean, come on!

No, wait, that's not my favorite part. My favorite part is where NOW SHE WILL NOT ANSWER HER GODDAMN PHONE WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TELL HER THAT WE ARE NOT DEAD. For someone who needs to call "just to say hi" for an hour or so at a time, an average of three times a day, she sure is being hypocritical right about now.

Or maybe it's the part where she could be knocking at the door any second now, for to begin screaming at us about the admittedly regrettable current state of the apartment...

WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO START MY DAY POKEY
Also, I got that Megas ep working. Just had to download codecs till I found one that fixed it. I need to remember the power of updated codecs. They fix everything except cancer.

It's not fair that "I am so stressed that my head is hurting and my stomach is threatening to follow suit" is not a valid excuse for missing class. But I really don't think I can manage to drag myself to my first class today...
