Day 05 → Your favourite quote and Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy
Crammed two days into one because fuck it. I didn't update yesterday.
I don't really have a favorite quote, so here's one that I just remembered that I quite like.
"I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance." -F. Nietzsche. No commentary, I'll just leave this heeeeere.
AND AS FOR POSTING WHATEVER TICKLES MY FANCY, I'll just tell you how things are going.
Yesterday was a piece of shit. Basically, because my ride back to school decided he wanted to go to Subway despite not knowing its location, I made it back to school with five minutes to spare before class started. This was not a good thing because I hadn't eaten since the day before and had missed lunch because he wanted to go to fucking Subway. I'm usually not hungry but jesus fucking christ I was hungry then. Also, I'd needed to study for a test and talk to a teacher, but obviously I didn't have time. Then I was late for Creative Writing, which generally isn't a problem except that we were going to read aloud the screenplay for Ferris Bueller. Since I was late, I didn't get a part. Had I known I would have shown up crazy fucking early and demanded that I get to read Cameron. LOL. But all the readers seriously sucked ass and I think the person who was reading for Ferris didn't speak English or something. This is bad because Ferris had a lot to say.
Jasmine gave up about the talent show thing. Thank god. But she's still forcing her shitty script on me. I don't want to sound like an asshole, and I know I do. I mean, I know she's trying to create something awesome and she wants me to get involved so we can both make something awesome, but I'm not in the Creation phase right now. I'm back in Observation. I figure there are three settings: Creation, Observation, and Idle. So anyway I'm just not in the mood to really DO anything. I just want to kind of learn things and read and get lost in stuff. I want things set out for me. Plus I've just got too much shit to do right now. Or maybe I'm making excuses. I won't act as if I know what's going on.
My English teacher, Mr. Rubenstein, brought in his son yesterday. His son's named Joseph, and he was seriously just the most precious, sweet, darling, bright, fantastic little guy I've ever met. He's just goddamn beautiful. I hope to God that my hypothetical children can be as darling. He's three years old and can look at an unmarked map and name all the states and their capitals. I don't even know all the fucking states. I know like, Oregon, California, and Texas. That's seriously it. AND HE'S THREE. And he quizzed us on capitals, lol. It was so fucking cute. And he was quizzing us on states, also, and when asked which state puzzle-piece he was holding up he said "MISSOUWI!" lol. Can't pronounce the R sound. Fucking precious.
Rubenstein said, "He's the most easy-going kid you'll ever meet. Hey, Joseph, I'm talking about you, buddy, are you okay with that?"
"Yes." says Joseph.
"I'm talkin' smack about you, saying mean things, is that okay?"
"Yes!" says Joseph, still playing with his United States puzzle. AWWWWW
And then we were walking to the computer lab, and Joseph was holding his dad's tupperware (which was about as tall as him) and his dad was a couple steps ahead and we were all very quiet when he said,
"Papa!"
"Yes, love?"
"I love you!"
AND I WAS LIKE AWWWWWWWWWWWW MY HEART IS ALIVE. They would always talk to each other like that. I thought it was fantastic. Jospeh would say "Papa!" and Rubenstein would say "Yes, love?" I just love it so much. It was the cutest day of my life. If that makes sense. That doesn't make sense. I don't give a shit.
Also, we were having some class discussion on sexism, and I got bored and therefore decided, half-way through the period, to start counting the number of times that people used the word "like", in a frivolous manner. For example, "And so, like, I would be just, like, over there, like, standing." would be four "like"s. However, "It was like I didn't exist" would count for zero "like"s. Anyway, by the end of the class, "like" had been used ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY EIGHT TIMES. I hope I don't use it that much. Jesus mother of bums.
And I took my French oral exam today. Aced it, so it's okay.
Taking the bus now instead of riding with Armin so I won't be late for shit.
Sleeping now.
