I feel pretty
okay , it's Friday night and I'm so cool that I'm studying How-to-Learn-Portugese books. It's way better than some drive-in dance and Spiderman 2 .. who am I kidding? I'd be there if I had the cash.
Not having much money does have its advantages. For instance, I walked home from the girls dorms with a sympathy bag of potatoes this afternoon.
I'm kinda bummed today because Todd gave me this supercool shirt to wear and I didn't see any of my friends all day to show it off. Cross that, I did see Matt.. but.. oh well.. maybe next time.
I did make a couple new friends. Weymar and Aline are from Brazil, and are part of the reason I want to learn Portugese. It sounds so rad. I've been hearing it all around campus lately. Sometimes I catch what they're saying, and others.. they might as well have sidestepped into Russian.
My 7-page paper is done, over, behind me.. and I have the rest of the weekend to party. And by partying I mean telling people "no, sorry , I can't afford it".
"I'm on my feet, I'm on the floor, I'm good to go."
I've been kinda sad lately with Ozma's breakup. What's worse, I heard that The Get Up Kids have announced they're putting out one more album and calling it quits. Yeah, no joke.. They say it's because they've grown up. Well, I don't know about that keyboard player, but Matt Pryor definitely has some very adult themes in his New Amsterdams songbook.
Joey is not around. He's been gone since midweek and he won't be back till Sunday. I find myself laughing about a two-thirds less throughout the day as a result. This disturbs me. Should my happy state-of-mind be so ruthlessly determined by one individual? Where are the checks and balances? How did Joey acquire so much power? I'm sure he's down there in Utah conspiring with his cousins to get his dad to vomit. Soggy bread is all it takes, so they say.
"If you don't, now honey why'd you just say so?"
So much has happened since I last updated. I've learned a lot about myself. It's been an invaluble summer in that regard. So much about relationships and what works, what doesn't. I think it may be some time till I plunge back into one. And when I do, the whole "roles" mindset will be utterly obliterated. I am totally working on my gentleman skills though. Tense "porch scenes" will be out of the picture.
"Crashing through the parlor gates, what was your first reaction?"
Right... I'm out.
