Alright, I suppose that it's strange and unreasonable for me to keep on checking my bookmarks in hopes that others have updated while not updating myself. Yesterday was the best day that I'd had in awhile. First of all, I managed to get my ass out of bed at a prize-worthy hour. Then I sat down and made a really nice collage card for my good friend who had just been dumped. It always makes me feel really happy and good when I do nice things for people. I guess I'm just a sappy-ass butt-puppet at heart. Then I went to ALL of my classes and got to see my friends a bunch. Classes went fine and I managed to squeek by my French 2 test from last wednesday. As long as I don't get any "see me after class" comments, I've grown to be alright with comments such as "assez bien" and "mediocre". I'm not very good at French here. It seems as though they made a terrible mistake in placing me in second year. Perhaps all of the weed that I'd been smoking during orientation week miraculously made me perform better on my placement test than would otherwise have been possible. Anyhoo, I'm in it and I'm trying to tough it out. suck. Nothing particularly noteworthy happened in my other classes.
Went to lunch where I got an enormous taco salad thing in a weird bucket-shell. It was really good, but messy beyond belief.
I sat around talking to friends for about an hour. Aargh! Right as we were finishing our food, This One Guy came up and made me feel extremely ackward. We hooked up when I was a prospie (prospective student, at the school I now currently attend) and we flirted ackwardly at the beginning of the year. I made a couple of attempts at showing him how I felt, but they were returned with very strange and cryptic responses. I gave up after awhile and he started dating someone else. I have no problem with this development, as I'm now dating someone as well. HOWEVER, I hadn't really seen him for about a month, or since he'd started dating this girl. He acts really ackwardly around me and everything I say, or he says, we have to turn into a little argument. meh. I suppose that my decision to basically avoid him forever seems to be the wisest course of action.
Made a lame attempt at doing something constructive in my room for awhile, then retreated to the S.U. where I played many games of VERY competitive foosball. Well, not really competitive in the sense that any of us were/are very good, but more in the sense that it allowed me to release my inner jock, yelling and jumping up and down. Ah, sometimes I miss my middleschool/early high school days of 10 sports per year, but not often. Then went and had amusing discussions with Jen, Scylla and others about whether or not we could figure out how to use a gun if we had to and I brought up something that I've worried about from time to time: I can't really imagine an occasion arising where I would have to punch someone, but I just have this horrible fear that someday I'll have to and they'll laugh at me. Like, I'll punch them with all my might and they won't even feel it. I've had nightmares about it before. suck. My friends brought up the excellent point that I could just try out my punches on a punching bag, but that would require effort, so it's not really an option.
Went with Jen and Scylla to really good sushi with mysterious service. I kept having to actually get up and go find a server to give our order to, or get the order from. It took a really long time, but we had mounds of fun. There was an extremely unpleasant man sitting next to me who kept complaining loudly to no one in particular. I made the mistake of thinking aloud and telling him that the restaurant was really busy, so he began addressing his complaints to me. Aargh! I mostly just did alot of the old smile-n-nod routine.
Made a new friend last night! girlrobot and I IM'd like crazy for a really long time and it was really fun. We're going to hang out on thursday, and I'm pretty stoked. She seems really fun and interesting and I think we have alot in common. It will be the first time that I've met someone who I had only previously written back and forth with online. I'm a little bit nervous, because she seems really cool and I'm always worried that I won't live up to peoples' ideas of what I'm going to be like. It will probably be fine, though.
Watched part of "Yellow Submarine" with some dormies and smoked a bowl. Got bored went to sleep. The end.
