The one with a fat day
Happy Mardi gras.
Today was eh. I felt awful around like mid-morning. Alexis was right about the whole wave thing. Civ (or rather Mr. Flail's stories and his utterance of the word "pimp") made me a bit happier. Then my day was brightened by (of all things) the Math League Press contest (something that usually either depresses me or angers me). I understood and confidently answered a whopping 5 out of 6 questions(mind you my average score on these things is like a 2). It was amazing, even though my bubble was slightly burst afterwards (heh). Anywho, then my first softball practice. I love building years!! So basically we have like 14 people. And there is absolutely no pressure and I'm playing like five times better than last year. Last year was kind of tense because it was the year where we had these 7 amazing seniors and we were supposed to make it to states (we didn't and it was sad). Like all of last year the pressure was really intense and I had zero confidence and ladida. But now there is no pressure and I'm neither the youngest nor the worst player on the team, so there is confidence aplenty. Tis exciting indeed.
Oh yeah. And today was a spirit day. I wore Mardi gras beads and some blue and gold stuff. And bangles! Oh, and skanky yellow, mac-and-cheese-colored nail polish(lol). And the Guys Who Bang On Things played in the morning. w00t in the extreme. They make me very happy even though the whole sophomore girl obsession with them has created some undue t-shirt drama (I know. It's pretty pathetic. Oh well.
I'm giving up livejournal for Lent, because even if I don't update all that often, reading everyone's journals compulsively (as I do) consumes far too much time. So adios for 40 days! This is so much better than giving up like chocolate, because honestly there are times when I simply need chocolate/something sweet to function.
I hate having no point to journal entries. I feel really inarticulate this evening and my vocabulary is the size of a peanut.
I still really miss her. Everyone does.
Coherent thoughts are overrated.
1) May they be companions that we’ll never be.
2) And that frankly will not fly.
3) Do we run? Should I hide for the rest of my life?
4) If you think that you’re strong enough, if you think you belong enough
5) We were just a good thing. We were such a good thing. Make it go away without a word.
6) “And of course that’s not important to me. Alright, why not?” I’ll reply.
7) So, for once I’m glad I’m heartless. I’ll be heartless killing her.
8) And I know that it’s not a party if it happens every night.
9) Music is pointless unless it can make a complete stranger break down and cry.
10) He’s gonna knock on her cocoon, and it’s gonna sound familiar.
11) That’s what friends are for. Shit.
12) It don’t move at all like a subway. It’s got bums when it’s cold like any place.
13) I find the things that you do will make me feel all right.
14) That’s a lie. I had a tea the other day.
15) And you’re like, “That’s not fair.”
16) Starry skies, holding hands, these my heart understands.
17) Hail the resurrection of the South’s least-favorite son.
18) It’s a hard day for dreaming again.
19) I see you’re being reticent, so we’ll move on to question 2.
20) A pinch and a diddle in the middle of what passes by
21) The bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue blue
22) Prepare a list for what you need before you sign away the deed
23) You turn around and life’s passed you by. It’s passed you by again.
24) It really brought him down because he couldn’t jam
25) We will swim in your kidney, kidney shaped pool, scratching at the bottom for another clue. Yeah.
26) “Different,” she said, “with a special something and a very very personal flair.”
27) Still nonetheless I’ve got to say . . .
28) And eat first.
29) Things are never gonna be quite what you want. Even at 25, you’ve gotta start some time.
30) Imagine me this kindergarten teacher.
31) Others as nice you meet often I know, at least once or twice every decade or so.
32) I wish my cohorts weren’t so dumb. I’m not the dumb one. You’re no fun. Shut up. Make me.
33) You play with words. You play with love. You can twist it around, oh, but that ain’t enough.
34) I came here with a load and it feels so much lighter now that that I met you.
35) And I thought, “Well, he cares.”
36) It’s all grand. And it’s all green!
37) Everybody’s got to live their lives, and god knows I’ve got to live mine.
38) Pam. Sue. Hi, I’m Angel.
39) If anyone is dumb enough to even ask about that rock . . .
40) And like that boat out on the ocean, I'm rocking you to sleep.
