Bono

Ah, it's a Beautiful Day... or is it? The highlight of the day was study hall (isn't it always?) where us seniors got together for a friendly song. I'll tell you how it started.

In the morning Mr. Waters mentioned that Ms. Ostermiller had purchased the new U2 iPod, being the U2 fan that she is. Well, at least she'll be able to see Bono day in and day out... anyway, during study hall we decide that we want to sing something for Ms. Ostermiller, so we print the lyrics to Beautiful Day and the guys go out in front of Ms. White's desk and stand in line, tune their voices, and start singing for Ms. Ostermiller. I can tell you that by the time they were done she was as red as a red apple... nice! After that they guys went back into the computer room and we all sang Elevation (even the odd "ahhhhhhh", which neither of us could realistically recreate). But that's not all...

Later on she dares come into the computer room, and another discussion arrises. Somehow that debate is whether Bono is handsome or sexy (and they're not the same thing! Just ask Ms. Ostermiller and she'll tell you why!). The conclusion to that disturbing debate was that he is just sexy... ick. And well, Daniel asked Ms. White if she thought he was sexy and she replied that he wasn't (although we all know what she meant to say was yes, but she would've gotten in trouble for saying that).


Sexy? I think not... and isn't he supposed to be Irish?
