So this is what 'okay' feels like...

Ok, luckily for you guys, I had already just typed up a page of journal about how horrible my day was yesterday and how great it ended, when my computer crashed and just shut down. Grand old Word did not recover that document. Therefore you will get the, new and improved, cliff notes revision of said entry.

Horrible, horrible day:

~ Wake up late after 4 hours of sleep

~ Taylor is early, coupled with my lateness = disaster

~ Surprise essay in Hammonds class

~ Don’t look at Nick in second period for the 7th day this week

~ Realize there is no grade for my Exploratory Teaching class on my interim (I am not tutoring little ungrateful bastards for no compensation)

~ Get slammed with physics honors homework/corrections

~ Get bitched at by Scrooge that my Ad Deadline was Friday

~ My Notepad closed in Web Design with all my code freshly written in it before I saved it

~ I needed 50 correct answer on my study guide for Web Design in order to use it on the test and I got 49! No help on the test for me… Nazi’s…

~ I have an unidentified bruise on both my shin and my arm that I cannot account for but that both hurt like bitches

~ I am walking thru the hallway with Dori when I see Nick and Pagan (the girl he slept with a while back when we were still together) walking and laughing together, and right when he saw me, he put his hand on her shoulder (i could further elaborate but i would get angry)

~ I had to ride the bus home with trillions of immature freshman

~ I get home 15 mins before I have to be to work and my mom with the ONLY vehicle I can use to get there is nowhere in sight

~ 5 mins before I am sposta be there, she calls from work to ask if I have found a ride or am I just not going to work?

~ I freak out and yell and she hangs up on me leaving me with 4 mins to get there and no clue on how to go about doing so

~ She pulls up at 4:30; thirty mins after I was sposta be at easy tan

~ I am incredibly late for work the one day my manager and I are scheduled to work together

~ Have to explain why I am so late; feel unreliable

~ My nose is running uncontrollably, I now have the red bull nose

~ SWAMPED at work and people made unusually large messes today, I was cleaning for 4.5 hours straight

~ Get extremely tired an hour into it due to 4 hours of sleep and no food cus I lost my MONEY

~ Drove home FAMISHED thinking about how the only savior of this day would be my favorite food for dinner: Bizarro’s. I hit EVERY red light and a TRAIN!

~ ALL THE PIZZA IS GONE AND I HAVENT EATEN IN LIKE 27 HOURS

~ Get into a huge blowout with my mom

~ Hear a song that reminds me of assface

~ Start sobbing

All right, that was indeed the Cliff Notes version. Aren’t you feeling extremely lucky my computer froze before? You would have gotten the whooooooole thing.

There were a few good parts to my day:

~ I have all 97% and above A’s on my interim except for Carr’s class, but he sent out a letter saying we will get our correct grades on Monday

~ I will be getting a grade for Exploratory Teaching after all, and it is a 100%

~ I got Smart Tan Nationally Certified at work today as a skin care consultant (I even get a certificate of completion of training on the wall!)

~ I sold a really expensive bottle of lotion all by my onesy, savvy? So I met my sales goal for the day

~ I have AMAZING friends who made my night wayyyy better than my day…

So, after my huge blowout with my mom at like 9pm last night, I said I was leaving and she said go for it. So I called Mike and was like, I haven’t eaten and I wanna go to Bizarro’s on the beach. He was all for it, so he was HERE in like 15 minutes and we left to pick up Morgan. I just kinda walked out of my house after telling my mom where I would be. I was sooooooo mad at her. On the way to Morgan’s house, Mike and I blasted Incubus as I told him how to drive. He doesn’t care for that. Fajaja. Anyway, he was like, I wanna take you out tomorrow night, I wanna plan an evening for you. And I was like AWW MIKE THAT IS SOOO SWEET, YOU MUST WANT ROAD HEAD! Fajaja. He explained that it wasn’t road head he was after, he just knew I was having a horrible week and wanted to make me feel better. He is the sweetest guy ever! Seriously, if everyone could be like mike, I would be realllly happy. So, we pull up to Morgan’s and I run up to get her. She got an old blanket and we got in the car and headed to the beach.

After getting lost a little, cus we went up the EG causeway not the Melbourne causeway, we found Bizarro’s and ordered some pizza and drinks. We decided to take our food across the parking lot to the beach, but not before I accidently mistook the tip jar for the trash jar and left the guy a straw wrapper as a tip. He just kinda looked at me and goes, “Jee, thanks.” I was MORTIFIED and I like, fished it out of there, all red faced. Anyway, we grabbed everything in a chaotic hurry and headed to the shore. I apparently asked Mike about thirteen times if he had napkins.

“But do you have the napkins?!”

“YES OMG STEPHANIE I HAVE NAPKINS, SERIOUSLY ::waves a wad of about 742 napkins at me:: RIGHT HERE! LETS GO, JEESH!

“::in a small voice:: well, what about paper plates?”

“OH MY FRIGGEN GOD, LETS GO”

LOL

We walked over to the boardwalk, pizza and blanket in hand, and realized altogether that there is little to no light on the beach at 10 pm. I whipped out my cell phone and turned on the flashlight feature to light the way across the boardwalk. What the spoiled, not outdoorsy, kids we are. So w finally make our way out there, set up camp and chow down.

It was so perfect out. Really clear skies above us, but a storm brewing on the horizon, so we got to see stars and lightning light up the sky. It was awesome.

After we got thru eating, we piled our food mess up and set in next to the blanket. Then we headed down to the water. Funny stuff ensued…

Me: wow you guys, this sky is amazing…

Morgan: you can almost reach the stars…

Mike: * loudest burp known to mankind *

Morgan and I: MIKE!

Me: way to ruin our philosophical moment!

Mike: I had to burp…jeesh!

Mike: ANIMAL!

Morgan: * screams * WHERE!

Mike: over there

Me: it must have just drown, cus I don’t see it anymore

Morgan: o, it’s a bird following the tide

Mike and I: o0o0o0o

Me: ewwww. I have sand and water on me…

Then we all go back up to the blanket and lay our heads in the middle in a triangle of sorts. It was amazing. It was so comfortable just lying there. There were three really bright stars in a triangle so we each claimed one. Morgan’s turned out to be a satellite cus it was moving. Nonetheless, very cool. Some great discussion took place as well.

Morgan: yea my star is moving

Mike: well it kinda stopped now

Me: its out of gas, it has to refuel at 711, and pick up a slurpy

Mike: 711 in the sky

Me: satellites need gas too…

Mike: yea, its like, “o0ps, no more gas, guess I’ll just become a star”

Me: ahahahaha!

Morgan: people are gonna think we’re high

Me: * starts singing * take me away from here, so far, where we’ll ride horses, no cars, no more stripping, in bars, you and me went against the odds… JUST CUS SHE DANCES GO GO, THAT DON’T MAKE HER A HOE, NO! BACKSEAT WITH YOUR RED SHOES ON, WE’RE GOIN TO THE DISCO… CALLED UP MY MAMA SAID IM IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPER YO!

Mike and Morgan: wait, are you high?

Me: no, just random…

Morgan: wow, it’s so nice out

Me: I could lay here all night

Mike: I have to itch my crotch

Us: !!!!

*All is quiet among the group*

Me: is this a bad time to say I have to pee… like really bad?

Mike and Morgan had to be home so we ended up leaving.

On the way home, Mike and I blared Incubus “Wish you were Here”

“I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like
A thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy, happy

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles
A backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with
My lighter
And in this moment
I am happy, happy”

Seriously, blasting that over the causeway, belting out the lyrics, windows down, hair blowing in the wind, I cant think of a better way to spend my Friday’s. I smell a tradition brewing.

Then, for the duration of the ride, we all listened to Aqueous Transmission. Another great song. I really love Incubus. No matter how I feel, they capture it in one song or another and its great to relate. The rest of the trip was spent in silence, reflecting on a great night.

By the time I got home, I was in such a great mood, I didn’t even want to write this entry, cus I knew bringing up my bad day would taint it. I went to sleep happy, with Incubus looping in the CD player. It was the first time in a long time I slept well. Thank you guys, you are the greatest.

I want to see Amanda tonight too. Mike Morgan Amanda and I could probably all get along, so I might see if they're all up to something. I will write more later. Today is already going infinitely better. Stay sweet…
