hot water music - jack of all trades

hellooooo children! oh my, it's wonderful to be home. i walked in the door of my house and instantly felt energized (it also helped that i didn't have to worry 'bout carrying anything, 'cause donovan got it all for me.) but yeah, so the whole conference thing was a trip. fun, yeah, but boring too. sunday, lesse, i spent most of the day standing around bored, calling people on my cell phone (cousin, tuey, boyfriend). spent the bus ride tuned out listening to atticus II. ran around bellevue looking for a mcdonald's and saw a midget in a wheelchair that looked like fonze (izzat how you spell it?) from happy days. actually, i spent most of the whole trip pointing out freaky looking people (david 'n ross got kinda annoyed by it.) umm... so yeah... oh right, sunday night, ate at azteca, bad food, bad service, but it was funny too. mini things like the beansteak.
monday was just a bunch of conferences, nothing notable to talk about for the morning. didn't eat lunch. got free jones soda though! more boring seminars. the big event thing in the theater was a bust, i sat talking to tuey on my cell phone the whole time. the big highlight of the conference was running back to the hotel in the pouring down rain. i got completely soaked through, and i loved it! it reminded me of when ryan and i used to go for walks in the rain. so yeah, they tried to get us to go to a group dinner... heh, that was stupid. didn't eat anything, called jeff and talked to him the whole time. skipped the dance (heard it was a bust anyway), hung out in david 'n ross's hotel room with chelsea most of the whole night. ordered a giant pizza and breadsticks and munched on foodstuffs while doing homework and watching tv... also jumped on the beds a lot, managed the get the mattress completely off the bed and onto the floor! called tuey again and talked to her for a long time. she might be getting back into decatur this week! hurrah! -note: after the conference, and going nuts in the hotel rooms and running around in sweats for a good 4 hours, i've decided to take my dad up on his promise, and road trip with tuey this summer, headed somewhere east.
today! um, yeah, one last boring seminar. barely made it through alive, only thing kept me going was humming the whistling song from kill bill and pointing out the guy in front of us who looked like donnie darko. walked back to the hotel with ross, and i was sad to leave. not the conference, not at all! but i liked, loved, that feeling of independance, walking down the empty streets of bellevue after it had just rained, wearing business-y clothes and knowing that the past couple days, everything had been up to me. getting ready, getting to the seminars, getting in before they filled up, asking questions and getting information... i dunno, it was just a really heady feeling, and it felt good. steph, it felt like what canada should've been, the absolute freedom. anyway, enough about that. school was alright, worked out in weight training but still have to make up my run tomorrow morning (GRR!). did pretty bad on the history unit test. umm.. and yeah!
ohhh it was wonderful to see everyone again, too! especially jeff, of course. when i first walked into the weight room is was reeaaally tempting to just run up and tackle him, but i figured that wouldn't be a good idea since he was lifting weights. so yeah!
oh and if you really care, irene wasn't at work today so i got to make up my own work schedule, 'n i cleaned and did pretty much everything she would've had me do anyway, but i felt better deciding to do it on my own.
i also got pictures! so those might be scanned in a week or two, and if not, remind me!
also, i've decided i need a really, really good back massage soon. i'm thinking about going to the mall and getting into one of those water tube things. where's a fair when you need one?
hello, diet coke addiction, i missed you the last couple days! also, i named my subconscious nicole.
