tarigwaemirAd Mundo Exteriore,
I wanted to announce to you all that I've passed my math final (I miraculously managed to remember enough) and that now I'm officially done with academics for the year. Yay! I can really be a second semester senior!
Oh wait...I have two Faulkner response papers, a paper on the antibonding effect and that story to write. Never mind.
Also, the other day, this annoying person called our house asking for "Sammy". We've been receiving these strange calls for quite some time now. Once my mother threw a fit and told them to stop, and the woman on the other end apparently laughed triumphantly and said that they'd keep calling until we surrendered Sammy or something like that. The stupid thing is, sometimes they ask for our address, and it doesn't match the one they're looking for. You would think that they'd give up on searching for Sammy, but no. Anyway, I picked up this time and told the man in my most obnoxious "I'm a bratty American teenager" voice that he had the wrong number and address. He said that he was sorry, and I naturally waited for him to hang up. He then said, "Hello? Are you still there?" So I replied, "Yes. You can hang up now." (Still in the obnoxious teenager voice. It's very intimidating to strangers when they call a house expecting broken immigrant English and get flawless American English without the slightest trace of an accent. Ah, the advantages of being yisei.) He laughed rather creepily and answered in this weird tone of voice, "No, you hang up first." I, being paranoid, started wondering if they were placing some type of phone tap that would only take effect if I hung up and briefly considered making threats about calling the police or something like that. But I decided that it would be of no use and hung up the phone.
Still, that was a very creepy laugh. We've been wondering for months who Sammy is and why all these people want to find him. The most likely scenario is that he's in debt, and his creditors are hunting him down. (If life was a Korean drama, this would be a certainty.) But he left a false phone number so they're annoying us instead, despite the fact that no matter how often they call they'll only get my mother repeating stubbornly, "There's no Sammy here." But why should we only consider the probable? Maybe Sammy is really a Chinese spy, and CIA agents are looking for him. Or maybe he belongs to some sort of secret society that had its records hacked and thus no longer knows how to reach him. Or maybe Sammy once betrayed an international black market cartel and is hiding from the bounty hunters who are after his blood. Who knows?
In any case, we know the mysterious callers are not telemarketers. They don't sound perky enough to sound like telemarketers.

tryogeru, do you know where I can find the Korean titles to the Autumn story songs you gave me?

And...um...oniichan, you have to give me FMoS if you want me to watch it. (I borrowed Naruto from Dean today. Yay! Anime!)
