Bowls of glazed Cereal with a hint of Old Women
So right now I'm feeling pretty sedate, which is kind of weird due to the fact that I have much to worry me (trivial as most of these insecurities are.) I guess I'm just good at allowing myself to push things aside for the time being, and cross bridges as they appear.
This weekend was cool. Saturday found me in Battle Creek all day for the Ceareal City Relays. I felt kinda shitty the whole time, but swam anyway. I suppose my times were alright for the first meet. Not so much on the backstroke, but that will all change Wednesday at Waverly :) I hope... Anyway, I guess I ended up throwing something out of place so that when my muscles get inflamed (ie: I swim) they pinch a nerve and send this feeling down my arm that makes me feel as though I may be experiencing the side effects of some bogus drug. Kinda like my arms are permanently asleep. Haha- makes me laugh. but i go get that checked out in a couple of days. We ended up 6th of 18 against some really tough competition, so we were satisfied.
Last night, Julie, Jess, Andy, Brett, Mike, Carolyn, Ivan, and I went to see Garden State at wells. It was a good time, made even better by the movie that was showing this particular night. It did suck that Carolyn went to see adult swim instead (cause she's not a big fan of G.S.....go figure...) and I guess she enjoyed it, but we missed her. Afterwards we went to Krispy Kreme, and everything melted away into oblivion as I sunk my teeth into a warm doughnut (Yeah for the red light being on) and drank my way through a sumptuous frozen smoothie of some sort. Rasberry I believe. On the way home I accidentally left without waiting for the other vehicle to follow. Oops... We (Jess and I) called to apologize and got chewed out and hung up on by some uproariously unsatisfied customers. Sorry guys... So I drove to my house on the back roads, and chose to enjoy good conversation over speed (they beat us there by a few seconds.) My apologies to you too, Sarah, for our absense in response to your invite. See, my parents get overly paranoid about me getting enough sleep and demanded I be home early. Especially since I had morning practice this morning. Sometime I'll (we'll) definitely definitely have to drop by though- cause it's always fun to see you :)
So today was school. Lately it hasn't been a topic that has come to set well with me. I guess at this moment in time, everything about it seems overly superficial. Well, I guess I shouldn't say everything. In fact most of it's just the normal highschool drama/overt naiveness/obsession with self appearance, but for whatever reason, it's really been getting to me lately. And that's not to say I don't have my bouts with naive thoughts about life, but I guess sometimes I wonder whether people are aware of the world that exists outside the city of st. johns. I dunno...hard to explain I guess. One positive today was seeing Jess (of superfluous love fame) for the first time in a while. Outside of PALS meetings, I really haven't talked to her much. Haha, and I guess we really didn't have time for much today either, but we did get to say hi and share a cross-lawn hug outside school (consisting of me violently flailing my arms toward some non-existent being) but I promise it was directed at you, Jess. So hopefully Jess time will increase proportionaly with my continued life, because she really has a way of making people feel happy, and I really enjoy that. So don't let it be too long :)
Oh and I have to add the fact (becuase I find it amusing) that our quartet was supposed to play at clinton commons today. So turns out we got over there only to find that Mr. Page had given us the wrong date, and that we were actually supposed to play on the 15th. Eh...it happens (and we missed a substantial part of class:) It just made me chuckle in an "awww" sort of way because as we recieved the news of our misinformation, there were these two elderly ladies in the background who looked absolutely crestfallen to hear that we were no longer playing. "You'll be back tonight,right?" asked one. I didn't know what to say. Luckily, however, the caretaker saved me by announcing the upcomming appearance of the community band tonight. This is actually the part that was funny to me (not the sad old ladies. Note: they were no longer sad after the announcement about the band.) I mean, who knew we had a community band? I guess maybe I'm just not in the loop, but I have visions of farmers playing dulcimers or some other off-beat sort of instrument...
Well, I guess that's about it, cause I should go finish homework. Plus I'm really thirsty. So until next time...
