10:21 PM, on the computer
Today was weird. It started out okay, but it ended rough. Right now, I'm a little peeved, and the lyrics to a Smash Mouth song come to mind...
"Lately I’ve been thinking who's in charge
About who they are
And are they looking down and laughing hard"
Yeah I can see it right now, God and Gabriel are kicking it on a cloud and laughing their butts off, and saying stuff like "Hey, Peter... *snickers* c'mere... you gotta see this! *laughs out loud*". I don't mean to sound sacreligious, but I like to think that God has a good sense of humor... I mean look at the duckbill platypus.
Well back to my day, it started early. Around 6 AM early, cause mom thought I wanted up earlier than when I actually said I wanted up three times the night before, then Courtney finally got here and we left for ICC. We hung out at the gym for an hour and a half waiting to get a new ID made, and when we were three people away from the booth they then decided to let people know that if they had an old ID that we didn't have to get one...
Boy society is great sometimes...
Okay after that, Courtney had to go find her advisor and get a check he owed her from a job she did for him, and I stuck around and talked to an old buddy of mine that enrolled at ICC. Oh I also met a girl... she's cuuuuuuuuuuute. And she talked to me first too. She's an art major and she doesn't live too far away from me. I hope I'll be seeing a lot more of her. Meanwhile Courtney didn't get the check, so I had to deal with a ticked-off redhead for the next twenty minutes. Whoopie.
Afterwards we went to the bookstore and she bought about....... 30 pounds of books and art supplies... and guess who got to carry the heavy stuff (nevermind that I volunteered :þ). In line, I saw that cute girl from the gym and couldn't help watching her. I was in the middle of a huge line so she never saw me until I "forced her" into looking at me by looking at her and thinking "look." Hey, it works ;). But like before, when I see that girl, Courtney has money problems. She ran short and her Pell grant covered only $500 but she was suppsed to get $1700... so she had to go to the business office to get that straightened out while I went to her car and carried the stuff she was able to buy with her limited funds. I ran into a friend that I had missed, and I was happy to discover that she was pregnant (it's good news, she had thought she was barren since she was 12) and after talking for a minute I continued on my way. Court got the money thing situated so we went back to the bookstore to get the rest. I jumped for joy when I looked into the bookstore.
That cute girl at the gym waved excitedly at me.
She also almost dropped a large stack of books on my foot.
So I had to be me and volunteer to help carry them, Courtney gave the okay and said she could get her books, so I went and carried the books to the girl's car, and it ended up turning into a thirty minute conversation. Okay, her name is either Missy or Misty, and she's an art major from a nearby city, she's a dye-job but it looks really good on her cause she has blonde streaks all around in it. We both listen to the exact same stuff, and all sorts of weird things like that. I FINALLY pulled myself away and went to find Courtney, and she said that the girl and I almost set off the sprinklers with all the sparks we created. I hope to see MUCH more of her.
Well we went back to Tupelo, and ordered a pizza on the way, picked it up, then went to Court's apartment and watched a movie. Great movie, btw. Zero Effect, with Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller. Rocked a huge amount of butt. I eventually made it home, but then another friend called right as I got in and wanted me to go out with him, so I did and I didn't get in until 9, which is when the problems started.
I got online, and I was bombarded by message. At least twenty in one minute. I'm surprised my computer didn't crash. This is getting annoying... I just can't get a moment's peace... and when I get home, i have to deal with people... band... people... home... people... school... people... I'M SICK OF PEOPLE!!! There's too many people trying to get into my head, it's DRIVING ME SANE!!!!!!! People wanting to know this, people wanting to know that... one day I'm depressed because I have no friends and now I'm complaining because I have too many people tagging along...
