Talk Anytime

I really have no idea where the title came from, but it seemed to fit. So I wrote it down. I'm a little too sleep-deprived to think of a better one. Besides, most of the titles in this journal suck anyway. I try figuring out when one of my rabbits died, the titles don't help at all. The only death I can find is Tex's. What about Koosh and Butterscotch? I had those two longer.

Ah, anyway, I think I'll just relay the events of today unless something else crops up.

First, however, I'd like to mention that I did get accepted into Central and Grand Valley. I'll most likely be going off to school at Grand Valley, but it's a nice feeling to know that I got accepted rather than sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation. It's so exciting, scary and sad all at the same time. I'll be leaving friends behind, won't be able to visit my rabbits every day. I'll have to make more friends. Do some more homework. Live all by myself. not sure if that's a good or a bad thing yet. Probably both yet neither at the same time.

I'll adapt. I generally adapt quite quickly. Of course, I still have my ambiguous moments, but I am a quick learner. Wes, whom I consider to be my real boss, confirmed that.

So I woke up this morning, thinking fully that I'd go over to Katie's tonight for a geek day. I tried planning out a schedule (which I never follow anyway) in my head to adapt to the day's situation while I got read for school. But that's nothing new. I always do that. Kinda why I'm all zombie-like in the morning. I don't like mornings, but I'm getting everything straight. Got a problem with it? Don't talk to me. Probably a good idea.

A couple days ago Joe had to bring up a gallon of milk in the morning. He had nothing else to do. He brought it upstairs, slammed it on the table, and told me that I could put it away. So the kid couldn't carry it two extra feet, open a door, and put it where it belongs. I didn't need the milk anymore. I fill my bowl of cereal and I'm done. I replied with something along the lines of, "No, you can put it away." He, thinking he's smart, threw the line back at me. I'm not a morning person. At all. I blew up in his face. He was lucky that I didn't launch myself from my chair and smack him in the face then and there. I was too tired to fully control my actions, and he's been grating on my nerves for so long, I don't much care about his well-being. I just don't want to get into trouble. Self-centered way of looking at it, but I'm well done with his shit.

Anyway, I'm not a morning person. Nothing new there.

So I asked Mom if I could bring the truck to school. She said yes (later got yelled at by Dad for letting me take the truck), so I took it. The anti-lock breaks kicked in at the end of Dancer. I thought that I was going to slide out into Island Lake, despite having breaked early. It is winter, after all. I didn't. I didn't run into this guy. Everything else was hunky dory after that.

The morning was rather uneventful. Alyssa was wearing the Jayne shirt Katie and I got for her. That made me happy, for sure.

I went off to Psychology, nearly fell asleep in the class. Although, yesterday Mrs. Stahl was going through this story experiment psychology thing and it was freaky. I don't have the results with me now, but the symbols that corresponded with the subconscious were really ... accurate. At least in my case. The fan overhead had me thinking of a waterfall, so when Stahl said to imagine myself on a road, my mind jumped to the upper peninsula. My whole story thing took place in a reservation ... but the correspondence was still so real. So freaky.

AP Calculus is the same as always. We're doing my favorite problems again, though. Finding the area under a parabola or something, within points a and b, but above the x-axis. I dunno why I find the concept so exciting. He didn't much need to explain the points with me. If I like something, I generally remember it.

Lunch was pretty awesome, as always. I got myself a seat next to Gilly again today. We played Euker. My partner, not Friedman today, but another Alex, quit on me just before we kicked Gilly's and Caitlin's butts. XD I dunno. It was a pretty close game. Alex made a mistake, cost us a point. Caitlin got mad at him, he said that she was too serious about the game (I could have told him that), and quit on me. So, I guess out of forfeit, Greeley and Gillis won. *shrug*

I walked Gillis to class again. I worked on this stupid storybook needed for Sociology. I read Greeley's and Gillis's book, and it was flippin' adorable.

I went to Pop Lit. Read twenty pages of The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Not that exciting of a book.

Went to German. Did some stretches and exercises for this quiz Frau Z found.

Left school. Talked to Henry about Firefly and Serenity. Got in the truck, started to drive home. Katie called while I was on Parker, told me that she was too sick for the Geek Day. My plans were thrown out the window.

I didn't nap, though I had planned to. I did, however, hang out upstairs a lot. I debated over whether or not to call Emily and see if she could come over for the hell of it. Eventually, when Mom was getting Ben ready to go outside, I randomly asked it. No going back, really. She said sure, why not, Joe got mad at me because he couldn't have a friend over when he'd been asking for a week. Suddenly all happy, I grabbed the phone, called her, and she said she could. It rather surprised me. No one ever says that can hang out with me if I ever feel the social need. We agreed on a time, and then I had things to do.

I went with Mom and Joe to Joe's karate class. We dropped him off, went off to Classic to pick up my check, and cashed my first paycheck. A hundred fifty dollars, baby. *sighs happily* So beautiful. Unfortunately, I have to spend most of it on Christmas presents. I definitely won't be able to pay Dad back this time around. Next time, perhaps.

After I had money in my pocket, Mom went to Artistika to find something. I went to the Antiques store I love so much. I was so very tempted to look through the comic books, but I was on a mission. If I was to find something for Eric, it would be there. Lo and behold, with the help of Mom, I found it. We bought it, and now it's sitting happily in my room, ready to be wrapped. Yup. It's awesome.

After that, we picked Joe up again, went home, ate, and I waited for Emily. She eventually called, said she was on her way, so I watched some Wipeout to pass the time.

When she got over, we watched that for an hour and a half or so, since she can't get down the stairs with her knee brace. We played a few board games and card games, and it was rather awesome. She had to leave before midnight, though, since she couldn't spend the night.

I love how she was threatening Joe even more than I do. She finds the same behaviors irksome ... and everything. We have so much in common. I luff her.

Talked to Jessica about being my wingman today. Apparently I'm her wingman for her current crush, Summer. But we only really talk during lunch. And when I have lunch, Emily's there. So ... I can't really talk to her about it.

I managed to catch her after third hour. I was walking Emily to her next class (I found I can be a little tardy to class whilst doing this and Stokley doesn't care), and Jessica randomly showed up. Once Emily was safe and sound in her class, I told Jessica a very brief and condensed version of what I really wanted to tell her, and we departed with smiles. Jessica's awesome. Hilarious, too.

But yeah, that was my day. Plus some extra tidbits of information. Now I want to finish watching this episode of Breaking Bad and then go to bed. I got some Christmas shopping to do tomorrow, not to mention the work shift I picked up for a dude at work. I work both tomorrow and Sunday. Joy.
