Wonderment of nothing and everything...aka mothers are crazy...and so is the government.
Well, today was eventful. I woke up exactly at 7:30-then stayed in bed till 7:40...THEN got up and took a shower. I left the house around 8:05...and had to somehow make it to downtown Columbus by 8:30. Anyway...yeah...teh suck. I got stopped in traffic numerous times and by 8:35 I finally got to the Government building...BUT by then-that stupid parking lot was full so I had to go to the one a block away...and parked in one of the marked parkings lots...the ones reserved for monthly parking. I actually didn't care as much at the moment- since I wanted to get to the stupid jury thing before 9 o'clock...
Anyway-I walk all the way to the Gorvernment building-go through the metal detectors-and head over to the juror "pool" as they call it. I sat next to this girl who was about my age- everyone else was like...way older then the two of us...a police officer and some correctional guy were there too for jury duty...both in work clothes so they were sorta still on the "clock" I guess...anyway-I had to go up and talk to the lady behind the desk and tell her I was late-it was fine. I was so nervous though. Anyway, the waiting began-but then the lady said that whoever happened to have parked around the building in those little parking lots and stuff had to move-I went up and asked her if I should move my car (because she mentioned the crap about the numbers in the parking garage) and she said yes. SO I had to walk back to my car- move it-then walk all the way back. ON the way back I almost ran into this guy-he was coming towards me and I got this really bad feeling. He was kinda homeless looking...unshaven, scraggly hair, and he was looking dead at me. I kinda smiled and said "hello" to him...he looked another way for a moment as I walked by. His hands were in his pockets...and one of the ones looked like something was there...i'm just glad there were people around at the time. I was scared...I don't like downtown much- especially by myself....
Well, back to the jury room...I sat there-hearing conversations ranging from "why young people don't drink coffee" or "how young people don't drink enough" and other prattle that older people talk about. I looked through an array of magazines and almost fell asleep at one point. The girl I first talked to was called to the jury at one point. I was so glad they didn't call on me. Anyway...as time lulled by-more people were called and such...and left. Finally-around 11:30...the lady came back out and announced that all the court hearings and such for this week had been resolved...and we could all go home. IT WAS GLORIOUS. It was kinda funny listening to all those older people cheering. People were praying and all kinds of wacky crap. But it was great none the less. After that-I went by Hollywood to show my little excuse...and they were bombarded. Seemed a grou phad decided to weasel they're way in...and well- left TJ and Jerome by themselves on the floor. I talked to Seth-and he asked if I would come back in-so I did. Woo hoo. I headed back home to change-and thus...madness came...
My mom was there and I told her what happened with the jury...and it seemed all good...until she brought up something. She had figured out me and TJ were together. It was kinda awkward...but then she started laying in the talk about how she didn't like black guys cause she thinks all of them are lazy and lie and hit women and crap like that. IT was unbelievable. She had turned into parental guidance driod. She kept asking if "ANYTHING" had happened...of course nothing has...yet. No rushing. Seen people fall apart from that kind of actions...anyway- yeah. She said she would drag me to the doctors and make me get a pap smear so she knew I wasn't lieing and started ranting on that she wa virgin since she was 27 or something and other things. I do belive she can't MAKE me get anything done- being that I am not the age that I would have to sign for it and stuff- and thus- I would not. She can't make me do anything...and if she can't understand that i'm happy...I don't know what to do. It's kinda sad how she thinks of people. My dad doesn't mind-he just doesn't want "funny" stuff to happen. You know- I did bring it up to my mom about Catherine and Phillip and she was all like "WELL then don't really go out!" I said they did- and I asked her what was the difference...(of course I had an idea why...it's pretty damn obvious) but she said it's because they stay here mostly-and I go out and she never knows where I go. Good thing I didn't tell her mister-wister slept over Friday night. AND NO...nothing happened. I slept on the floor cause he and tatiana fell asleep on my bed and I didn't want to wake them up.
Anyway- yeah...theres a lot there. Have fun.
Also, my favorite manager in the world left Hollywood to be a head manager at Columbus Square 8...it makes me sad. Some people are already quitting because he is gone...I almost feel like it too. Jerome brought up that maybe some of us can transfer over there-BUT...I suppose he forgot it all has to go through James then Wynn. How thoughtful...fuckers.
And thank you Shawn for showing me the strike thing...now I can be slightful subliminal. Isn't that awesome.
