Very Good Day

Yesterday was a very good day.

I learned the other day that the friend I thought had left did not. So I called him when I got up yesterday and waited for his call.

In Everquest, I got level fifty-six. So I can cast new spells and it means I'm a higher level. New levels are always good. I also made my tradeskill trophy, an item that someone can try to make when they get a tradeskill (mine's baking) up past 250 skill. I even succeeded on the first try! I was overjoyed! The last piece of EQ joy came later in the day when an old friend of mine logged on for the first time in over two years! It was great to talk to him again. At this point I got a call...

It was my friend. He wanted to go out last evening. So we went to the IHOP for dinner. He had a new cell phone he was screwing with the entire time (even driving), sigh, everyone is like that when they get a cell phone for the first time. Well, he wanted to say goodbye to our other friend, so we went to where she works, the mall, to wait for her to close up.

She had apparently made friends with a guy from another store, and he was getting supper for her. Now she claims that he has no interest in her, but both my leaving friend and myself agreed that he was severly flirting with her. We made some comments that were, uhhhh, not very pretty. I'm not going to disclose the comments in this post. It was good to stay that late. Since she worked at a store with goods that had to be sold that day, or be thrown out, we got free persihable goods.

Outside, we walked to her car and talked about random things, awkard silences were frequent. No one really knew what to do or say next, so many things hung in the air.

Now here's a really cool thing that happened: We saw a meteorite! I'm not talking like a shooting star, I mean we saw a meteorite hit the earth! Or at least I think it was. It looked a little like a small firework, but there was one problem with that. It was too high in the air. Ok I'm not really like how I'm telling it here, so I'll tell it now. The person who is leaving shall be named "boy friend" and the one we were visiting shall be known as "girl friend." There, easy enough?

The time was roughly Ten P.M on Friday, September Second, Two Thousand and Five.The girl friend and I were leaning against her car, facing the Sheraton hotel. The boy friend was facing us, with his back to the hotel. The girl friend and I looked up to see a white sparky thing whizz overhead and between the Sheraton. The little fireball made a shall whistling noise, like a bottle rocket. Before we could point and show the boy friend, the thing was gone. So I asked the girl friend, "Did you see that?"
"Yeah, what was that thing?" she replied. Now, I have seen some specials on the History Channel on meteorites and they had a video of a very similar event. So, using the power of deduction, I believe that it was a meteorite crashing into the earth. Now this wasn't dinosaur genocide-size, this one was probably the size of a VW Bug when it entered the atmosphere, then broke up rapidly to only the size of like a baseball or even maybe smaller when it hit. Maybe it didn't even hit at all! Gotta love those greenhouse gasses! Saving us from anhilation and all.

I wouldn't go and try to find it. A meteorite hits the earth every ten minutes or so, but they are too small to notice. This one; however, was bigger and is probably miles away, that's if it even hit the earth. Probably there is dust or something around the mall area, but it was very high and pretty fast. You can look for meteorites. To find the iron ones, alls you need is a metal detector and a pair of eyes to spot a piece of bubbly metal in the ground. The other type is harder to find, unless you see a rock flash charred on one side, then most likely that's a meteorite.

Well after that little once-in-a-lifetime experience, the boy friend drove me home and we sat in my cluttered room for a while. Oh sure, we talked, but, of nothing really special. I just didn't want him to leave. I'm going to miss him so much.

Well, that was my bittersweet day.
