Unplumbed

So, on Wednesday it was due (for english) to have read the book 'Inherit the Wind' but, naturally, I thought he had said Tuesday, so on Monday night around midnight I started the book, but didn't take any notes because, come on, that would just take longer. Also, it was my older brother's old book and he's smart <like, all a's in high school smart> and his notes were in it so I was like 'Eh, good enough' <AHHH I TOTALLY JUST REALIZED I SAID 'EH' IN THE CONTEXT A CANADIAN WOULD!!!!> Anywho, his handwriting was pretty unintelligible, and he underlined all the words he didn't know, but didn't write the definitions to all of them <COME ON BRO, I WAS COUNTING ON YOU!!> but, anywho, I was in class <on Wednesday> and we were talking about the book and Mr. Wrenn <my english teacher> said a word and asked us who knew it and we were all like *cricket crickets* and he was all like 'No one knows it? No one looked it up?' And he started getting kinda mad and so he would read out like all these words and we wouldn't know them or have looked up any of them and he was getting pretty pissed off and so he read the line 'The unplumbed and plumbing-less depths!' and asked us what 'unplumbed' meant an we were all 'A-HA IT MEANS WITHOUT PLUMBING' and he was all like 'NO. NO. IT DOES NOT MEAN WITHOUT PLUMBING. NO.' and we were all like silent and he was like 'DID ANYONE LOOK THIS UP? DID ANYONE LOOK ANYTHING UP????' And we were like not making eye-contact and it was silent for a moment and he was about to ask someone to look it up and I was like 'WAIT......'  because I saw my brother's note, but as you might be able to tell, his handwriting is horrid <like most males> so I was like 'wait a sec' and  I was like turning the book trying to find an angle in which I could actually read the writing so I was like 'not deep?' but I couldn't tell exactly what that part said and it didn't really match the context so I was like 'NO, NO, WAIT. Not sophisticated' <his note is in pencil above my green-pen note> and he was like 'YES!' and I was like 'SCORE' so.... yeah. Thanks bro. You really came through.
