Coldplay day...
I feel emotionally invigorated
I needed to sit down and just talk to a friend today, and that’s just what I did…
Woke up early, did some early morning studying, actually SHOWERED, then drove to school! Gave Jonni a little lucky-clover necklace, which she apparently liked a lot more then I thought. I have been trying different gift ideas since the trinket thing never worked. She seems like a jewelry girl so far…but no matter what I do she suprises me. I know she liked it because a bunch of people came up to me and commented, people who I didn’t even know knew her that well! I’m glad, racked my brains what to get her for st. patricks…
So first period I totally owned that test. While taking it I realize, hot damn, this class really isn’t that hard. Now that I actually sit down and do the homework I am learning instead of sqweeching by. It is a good feeling to get done with your homework. I still miss being busy all of the time yet I’m glad that I have time to do what matters toward my future.
The day went by in a blur till I hit marketing, yuck, I think that class is going to be the end of me. Mrs. Fisher needs to get a job that she actually knows how to do. Fifth was rather cheery. I made fun of Riech’s shirt as usual and had a decent discussion/assignment. When it came time to do the assignment I felt inspired and just started writing about random stuff on a random piece of paper. Very relieving.
My desk neighbor, Michael, told me about her terminal ailments with a peculiar smile. Even tried to get me to feel her tumor *cringe*. I even though she confirmed it easily and readily I don’t know if I believe her. There are few who smile at death the way she did. Her eyes glazed/teared over and her grin was as if she was just complimented…hmm….
On the brighter side I KNOW I am getting stronger now. After a few days of minor working out I did a humungo push up set that I could have never done before in my entire life. It may not be a lot still but it is damn good for a stick boy, 2 weeks ago I was having trouble doing more then 15 per set but I could keep going if I took a minutes seconds rest between sets. Now I can do a good 20-25 per set and do about the same set amount. I just kept going today, and I’m not even slightly soar hours later. I think I’ll continue doing what I’ve been doing…Good to finally be changing my body, I hated always having to stay thin and lean for crew/swimming.
After school Sarah and I went and snagged drinks at Starbucks. It was refreshing to talk with her after so long. BOY! Those couch/chairs are comfy never get enough of chilling there. I was a little bit nervous before hand: I had, and still have this notion that she has some deep resentment towards me from the past. Talking to her was a bit reassuring of our friendship and good for me. I remember why I used to have such fun hanging out with her and the crew. She really makes me think about myself, whereas I have a hard time anywhere else other then on paper.
I remember a year or so ago her family invited me to wild waves and I went and had a blast. When we were on some of the theme park rides I said something I would have said back then like, “hey what do you want to bet those two are together?” and she threw it back at me in a really subtle way. She said, “What if they said that about you and I?” I dunno goes along with the assumptions make asses out of you and me theme. It’s a memory that plays in my head over and over reminding me to put myself in another’s shoes and “check” myself on the things that I say. Anyways, memory over…back to Starbucks.
So 2/3 through Eric Waters stopped by, jeez I haven’t seen that kid in ages! I told him about the whole Erickson scare and he understood, I guess similar stuff used to happen to him. Glad to finally explain it to him seeing as though I gave him a tidbit awhile ago. I didn’t really get a chance to explain perfectly because Jonni was with me. Speaking of Jonni, gosh I miss her. I haven’t seen her since 9:30 this morning! She was adorable…hah even stole my pants and wore them throughout the day. (awwwww…and grrrr at the same time…heh)
Ugh I miss her. Ciao going to call Jonni, then get some homework done, or maybe before…
I’ll be listening to coldplay all the while though, I’m feelin it today…
Speaking of which I need to find out when thier third CD comes out if it hasn't already!
