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…
