briggs - heroes by choice

so this is how it goes. early morning was great - went to work, felt like the day would be full of possibilities. anyway, coming home i figured today would turn out all right, you know? fun.
well, it didn't. big surprise. i ended up getting a huge-ass book about colleges, then driving around tacoma and lakewood trying to get myself lost. i heard a lot of good songs on the radio. i came home after a few hours and sat down with the book. it made me slightly depressed. i don't have that much money, and out of state tuition is insane. but i'm not too thrilled about my choices in washington. i've been sorting through information all night and i was starting to get this closed-in feeling. i have to start over - i have to get away from here. i got to start over in junior high. i came to decatur and did it again. now it looks like i'll have to copy either brent or scott - uw or wwu. i don't want to go to either. i don't want to go to wsu, either. i was thinking somewhere warm, you know? it's hopeless, though.
like i said, i was starting to feel really shitty about it all. and then elaina calls! i love her so much. she's invited me to come see her compete in a beauty pageant on the 27th. (haha... beauty pageant, i know! no, she's not taking herself seriously.) so i asked my mom if maybe tuey and i could go.. she has to discuss it with my dad, and i'm not allowed to mention it to tuey until they know. ha! so, steph, are you up for a weekend in long beach - finally? everyone will be there! so. yeah. other than that my night's been completely uneventful, and my whole back and arms and legs are stiff and sore. yippeee.
