I'm leaving for Alabama tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be fun. A few days relaxing in a nice hotel room. But I have to read a damn book on global warming for Tulane. And I have to finish some online class on alcohol. So dumb.
I went to Restaurant August today, I met the guy I was supposed to talk to and he had such a thick accent that I could hardly understand him. But he said he had a job for me and that he'd call. I'm afraid of the call though, because I won't be able to understand him... and when it's over the phone it's even more difficult. But after I went to talk to Danny, and he told me he'd call, I didn't know if he meant in a few minutes or later tonight. So I walked around downtown for a few minutes. I didn't know what the hell to do... I felt completely idiotic... but... oh well. Oh! And I was so close to getting a parking ticket, too. I walked up to my car and I was the lady two cars away from mine. Then I walked a lot faster pretending like I was so busy and important. Schyeah... so close. My mom would have kicked my ass.
I talked to Patrick today for the first time in a while. I noticed that I couldn't understand him too well either. It was like when we first started talking and I would make him repeat stuff over and over. I just think he's gotten a lot of his thick accent back because he's living in Georgia now. That's cool. Anyway, he's doing fine. Working on his new house. He asked when I would go visit him. I told him I didn't know...
We saw The Bourne Ultimatum tonight. It was pretty good. I normally don't like those kinds of movies, but it was good nonetheless. Gideon, Pat, and I had dinner beforehand. Gideon called me a slut for ordering salso... he likes the cheese better. He got the cheese anyway, and he paid extra for it. That's not too interesting, but it was funny. They had free games at WOW, and I was very happy about that.
Later, Ben, Nick, Nick and I hung out at Ben's for a while. Nick and Nick were trying to call people to get me some stuff because I'm leaving tomorrow, but it was useless. They couldn't get anything... and after a while I told them to stop. I gave up on it before they did. Nick said he'd let me try some of his stuff when I get back. I'm pretty excited but at the same time, I'm pretty nervous.
On the way over to Ben's, after the movie... two Tom Petty songs came on and they both reminded me of dad. I started crying. It was stupid. I felt like I was back a year ago saying to myself, "Why did this happen? Why did he have to leave?" It's just dumb to think that. Like dad said, "Shit happens. Then you die." And he... he did. I love him, and I miss him so much. But I've been finding that I think about him a little bit less now. When I think about THAT it makes me even ... sadder? I get a little mad at myself because I feel like I don't care about him as much. But I know that's ridiculous. I love him the same... A LOT. I don't need to convice myself of that. Yeah...
I called Chris today and asked him if he would come to Mr. Binky's with me to get Pat a present. :) I also felt bad about missing South Park night these two weeks. I apologized... it was all good.
I don't know why I'm telling what happened this whole day... I just felt like writing, and I'll look back on this one day and it will spark some memories for me. That'll be nice. I like looking through my older entries and remembering what I wrote about. It's interesting, and I can see how much I've grown and how dumb I was back then. Not that I'm not dumb anymore... I can be. Haha... totally!
Anyway... I don't know if they'll have internet at the hotel. So this may be goodbye for a few days. It's cool, you won't miss me... you online inantimate journal. You have no feelings!
