Has been one of much learning. Here are my new lessons in life in no particular order.
I learned that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be with someone you want to fuck, but can also be with someone you love. I went to Jessica’s house on Friday and had fun making Survivor Cosgrove. We also talked a lot about going ons with Ross, and a lot of self-analyzation and watched POTC, but I fell asleep in the middle of it….ohhh (Sims sadness)
I also learned that a mouse runs my brain. See, the mouse is usually running along its little wheel, but sometimes this mouse is distracted and stops to sniff its foot. It’s still on its wheel swinging slowly, but I just start going off and mumbling and gesturing. Occasionally, the mouse just stops and goes off its wheel to go into a corner and eat some cheese. This is when I kind of just stop in mid sentence and stare off blankly. The Mouse’s name is Charly after a good book called flowers for Algernon.
I also learned that my mother likes to see me get fat off of crepes from a restaurant on Las Olas. Yea, after I got picked up from Jessie’s house, I went to Las Olas for dinner. It was decent I guess, but I was really tired…
Another discovery of mine is that my mother has sadistic tendencies. I have this stupid pimple on my head and I decide to leave it alone, it’ll go away by itself. But my mother and her insane sadism, attacks it, assuring me that she’ll get it out. So me the moron let her and now I have skin missing from my head, and my pimple is still there. God damn it!
I found out that statistics could be insanely wrong. I once decided that out of five people that I knew to have liked someone, it’d work out for one person. Now thanks to Jessica, it’s two in five people. Congrats to her and Ross for hooking up! J But the thing is, then Aaron got all upset. You would think it was because he likes her right? So asked him and after constantly refusing to tell me, he said “maybe there was some little feeling at one time” I’m like OK, so you liked her, he told me not to infer incorrectly. Gee, ok, thanks for not being vague??
This was eventually clarified, which leads to my learning yet another thing: Love can get really twisted sometimes. Aaron called me asking for Andrew’s number so we talked for a little bit. I found out that he was just “shocked” because Ross just popped out of nowhere. So he said that once, a long time ago, he liked her. That still leaves the whole incorrect inference. Somehow I’m not thoroughly convinced Whatever, then the conversation digressed to his drunkenness last night with three women…he must have been more drunk that he thought.
Oh! Oh! This in turn brings us to yet another revelation of mine. Expecting a reaction is a waste of time. You see, when Aaron told me about his previous liking for Jessie. I decided to tell him that I likED him. I said, “if it makes you feel any better, I liked you.” Now, let’s play a game to prove my sanity. What emotion might you expect from Aaron? Intrigued curiosity? Mild indifference? Mocking Sarcasm? Slight Interest? Passionate Reciprocation? Utter Disgust? WRONG! Try something like apathetic incredulity. Yea, he didn’t believe me. So it was brought up again later in our conversation and he still didn’t believe. I decided not to press the matter since I achieved what I had wanted. Go figure right? Anywho, I feel surprisingly better about this situation and I can move on because I told him, even though it was a half-truth. It was still an accomplishment.
Care for another fact of life? I learned that breasts suck and clothes are not made for people like me. Yea, my mother took me shopping and clothes are really hard to find. She did buy me a nice bracelet but I learned another thing: I’m really good at breaking things. So we’re going to take it back saying that it broke even though I bought it yesterday.
Hmm…I also learned that I’m really bad at writing stories for children. Cha! I’m writing one for extra credit. I finished the really strange story, and now I have to do all the pictures, which are coming out like crap…oh well. I’ll post it here when I finish it all.
In the midst of writing this entry, I also (hopefully) learned the last thing I am to learn this week. Kody was a lot more broken up about Jessica than I thought. I think he’s been having a bad day though because he didn’t sound so pissed when I talked to him on the phone and when I talked to him Friday. I don’t even understand why he’s upset. We went through like three things. One, that she hates him, and I’m like no, she just doesn’t like the fact that he’s manipulative, has a harem of thirty women (I don’t get how he thinks that might make him like you, go figure, Jess) and his constant confused state of being as to what it is he wants. I think he was still upset. Then he was distressed because he didn’t understand her. So I asked why she confused him. “cuz its messed up, and often a time do i wonder what truthfully does happen within her mind, and often too do i wonder why she thinks what she thinks; but how does she conclude these things she has spoken (typed rather) about me, because it is highly doubted that she would reveal these things to me in a frontal confrontation; but i do truthfuflly want to know how she concludes what she has figured” (gee, I wonder, Aaron) So I explained that maybe a guy who can’t settle for one girl isn’t what she wants (you think?) Somehow I think he thinks that one is supposed to be honored to be in his harem…ya’ll try and see what this means: “she doesnt understand the harem
The First person receives the most affection, thus my infatuation with Angelina Jolie, wait, do you recognize the pattern, there was ALSO Jessica in this list, there is a trend... go figure” Then he was all upset because I said that the only reason he’s upset is because she’s with Ross. He thought I was adding insult to injury. Next comes his routine bashing saying he will go sit in his corner wondering how his parents could produce something so fucked up. Then he will conclude that he’s not going to go “not going to go for any girl from school, because ultimately I would end up seeing them much too much, and thus would end up getting tired of them, and them having feelings similar to mine.” (…wha?) So finally he thinks that she hates him (again) and that he is removed from her friendship. So I explain to him that just because she doesn’t like him in the way that would consist of them dating doesn’t mean that she isn’t his friend. Then the kid comes up with the most brilliant theory of the night. I’m responded with the fact that this doesn’t follow his belief of friendship “Why?” You ask? “What could possibly be his belief in friendship?” “That a certain man, being friends with a certain woman, would be friendly enough to once upon a time in the future be able to go out, not to marry, not to love, just to go out with, with a title or not.” Basically that means that it’s not a friendship unless there’s a chance of hooking up. ::Pause to let the insanity sink in:: Cha…after that it just went back and forth of me telling him that’s not a friendship and him being sad.
So let’s recap: I liked Aaron and was upset because I figured he didn’t like me and liked someone else. Aaron’s upset because Jess doesn’t like him and in fact is now doing her thing with Ross. Also, it’s not a friendship unless there’s a chance of a hook up, no hook-up-age involved between either my crush or Aaron’s crush. Finally Aaron doesn’t want me, and Jessica doesn’t want Aaron. All together now: “oh, the irony!”
In the theory of Doug, one of these days, Fate and Irony are going to slap us in the face and make Poland biggest global power in history. Now I don’t know about Poland, but the two have already smacked me up more than I can take. By the way, the fact still remains that now that I told Aaron how I feel, I’m not letting him affect me. Which means that the entire point of that story was to add to the fact that I have found the ultimate conclusion:
My conclusion?
LIFE IS ONE HUGE IRONICAL JOKE!!!
And I’ve decided to laugh! J So that’s my new outlook on life. Feeling down? LAUGH!!! Anywho, it’s midnight and I have yet to iron my hair and read Dickens. Not that I’ve been doing anything productive. Just rearranging my inbox. I think I’m not going to read dickens. I’m doing a project worth 25 extra credit points, I still have forty pages to read, plus I could just read spark notes and probably do fine. Right? LAUGH!!!
