Long time no post.
A lot has happened since I last posted. Finals are coming up on Monday and Tuesday, then the semester ends, which means new classes start in January. We're expecting snow though, tomorrow's high is 25*F and the low is 2*F. Monday's high is 25* and low is 17*. I hope we have a snow day so that all our finals will be in one day. I'd prefer that over two three hour periods for the entire day. Talk about killer.
Ben has a girlfriend, Hannah. She's actually in my Government class. She's really nice and sweet and everything but they're really physical and I don't like seeing my brother that way. [shudder] They've been going out for about a month I guess. Not like I know when he officially asked her out. Then there's Josh. I heard him talking to his girlfriend on the phone in the car the other day, he seems like such a sweet guy. He even said "I love you" at the end. I was like "AWW!!!"--in my head of course.
A couple days ago, at the beginning of the month actually, I went over to Britney's house with Catherine and we cleaned her room as a birthday present. Woah, it was a mess. We came back several days later to hang out after school and it was back to every last article of clothing laying on the floor. We mostly talked, Catherine and I watched Oprah while Britney showered, then after that we went to the new Coffee Connection. We walked there. I know if I ever told Cim that she'd murder me. But it was practically right down the road. That place is the best. We were there for like 2 or 3 hours before Catherine's brother, Michael, came to pick her up and take her home. He was working on college papers though so we had Britney's mom take me home. That was one of the funnest days ever ... even though I felt like the third wheel, because Britney and Catherine have been friends forever, and I always somehow get pushed back out of the group. Nothing new to me though.
At school I've started going to lunch with Natalie. Natalie is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. She's such a great friend. I'd hang around her more often if I could but she has a life, unlike me. Starting 3rd period, which we have together, I follow her around like a little puppy dog. I go with her to her locker. Sometimes she comes with me to mine but if everybody's there that day she goes to the cafeteria to save me a seat. I follow her to get her lunch, I never buy anything. Not normally anyway. I did once, heh. Then after the bell rings for 4th, I follow her to her classroom, mine is right down the hall, though I used to go a different way. I still end up in the same place. I'm pretty clingy to her. One day I broke down after school. I wasn't feeling well that day and Britney and Catherine disappeared on me, so I was waiting at the back doors for Ben and Natalie came over and asked if I was alright. I started crying and she consoled me. She later called and said I broke her heart and that she actually started crying too and went off at one of her friends because she was upset that I was upset. Unfortunetly for me, Ben, Josh, Thomas and Jeremy all saw me crying. I walked out the doors where Ben and his little groupee was just staring at me and Natalie like "wth happened??" and he was like "You Ok ?" I just said I was fine and walked past them to the car. Ben kept asking what happened, Thomas kept asking Britney who hadn't any idea that I had cried at all. I never told anybody, and I don't plan to explain why even now.
I find myself to be very strange in the end. I bought everyone a present for Christmas, even myself, and I addressed them to everyone in the family but didn't put who it was from. I even spelt some names wrong, so that nobody would know it was from me. Cim's the only one that knows cause I ordered most of the stuff off Overstock. She better not squeel, or I'll be very put out. I still need to get her present though. I plan to do that when we go out to get her perfume together.. Ben, Pim, Rachel and I. I'm alreading preparing myself for the burning sensation perfume sniffing will do to you. [shudders at the thought].
I have to finishg reading a book about the KKK for US History and fill out a question sheet. Oh Lord. While it's interesting and all, you get to read more detail than necessary which is very different from normal worksheets you get because Mr. Hils will make you write down every last detail in the chapters for regular worksheets, but not for this one. You get like two answers a page? If you're lucky. It's kind of frustrating, it's time consuming busy-work. Like I said, it's interesting and all but getting it done is important, so the second I think of it I get a knot in my chest. Argh. Better go check the forums for a while so I can get started on that. [I don't think I wanna start at 8:47 in the morning you know. Need a little more time to jump in with the flow of the day's current.]
Yesterday at dinner, I was minding my own business eating my noodles you know. Ben and Pim were talking as always, and Pim starts laughing. I look up to see he's laughing at me and I say, "What's so funny??" "Nothing." "No, seriously, what's so funny?" "I'm just watching you, in your own little world eating your little noodles." Yeah he said little noodles and I might of said something about it if my mouth wasn't full. Guess it's true. When you're grown up, you're not much different from how you were as a kid. I spent lunch yesterday reading my Yu-Gi-Oh! Volume 7 which Patrick got for me as a Christmas present. That is the best one hands down. Natalie comes out of the blue and does a lunch punch in my arm and I look up like "huh?" and she was like "There's a punch buggy outside" "Oh. [goes back to reading]"
I'm done now.
