everclear - father of mine


so here's the story from start to finish, though probably not in chronological order.
twice today i found myself reading while surrounded by people. i thought i'd been kidding when i told steph i was going to start going geek again, but i guess it's actually happening. honestly, though, school was a blur. it seems like a deal while i'm there, but then it's over, and it's over. poof, gone. just like that.
i was using a rolled-up abercrombie tank top as a prop for my wrist (to prevent carpal tunnel!) while playing pinball before school this morning. i just shoved it in a corner of my desk.
hey kids, here's a new one - i got asked to a dance! go figure. i always kinda figured i'd never make it to a formal, 'least not at decatur. but here we go! should be interesting - just going as friends, of course, but i'm still excited.
hahaha, dude i'm talking to michael right now, and i just realized i went from a smoker who hates alcohol to an alcoholic who hates smoking. that boy's retarded dumb. worse than brandon.
so at work today! didn't see my 24 year old, though ryan was there so i still had someone to talk to. i held him up with a spray bottle-! we laughed when the little 12-year old punk ass skateboarders tried to flirt with me, laughed even more over the fact that i've been hit on twice in a week. oh yeah, and i ran into the guy from last week again. his name's roman. nifty keen. i'll save the juicy details of that conversation for myself.
i finished white oleander! ohhhh my god i love that book. love it, i say! so beautiful, full or art and ugliness and lessons on life. i could live by it. i always try to live by the people in my books, and i related to that one more than any others so far.
also. soon as i got freed up for friday, i'm back to being claimed for time. the kids want me to play soccer with them at celebration... at 10, after the lights go out. should be fun - should be interesting! can't wait!
so did i miss anything else? umm... doesn't look like it. alltogether wasn't so bad, despite the disconnected feeling, the disorientation and the feeling like i'm probably going to graduate just like brent, without any friends at my school.
tomorrow's friday, THANK YOU GOD! three day weekend. i cry for the pure joy of it. although, that means steph's going to steal my pants and i'll be walking around weight training again with nastified hairy legs. oh well.
oh, another thing. the days are getting longer! at least that's what it felt like, when i went to work today and there was sun shining through the skylights. it was sunny! really! it stayed light until after 4 - it felt like i hadn't seen the sun for that long a period of a time in years. summer's coming back... oh thank god... yes i know we've still got 5 or 6 months to go, but it's still coming! sooner than you think!
