February 9th
In the words of MegaTokyo authors (as autographed to me lol) OH THE DRAMA!

Yesterday was a very confusing and very very very bad day. It started at about 7 with an argument with my mom because I'd woke up late and had to rush for school. No big deal. That like happens everyday ^^;.

After that, we got to school, but I started to smell something funny, and my eyes started burning. It was a little weird, but I didn't really think anything of it, because my eyes usually burn in the morning (eww! Shut off the lights. They're BLINDING), so I went to class as usual. Then my head started really hurting, so I was like blah -_-; this is going to be a VERY long day, and believe me it was.

So the day starts with announcements, right, and everything's normal until you hear someone screaming "911, call 911!" In the background. A couple seconds after that, an alarm starts rining, and we're forced outside of our classrooms, figuring it was a normal firedrill. Not really...

So I stood outside in the rain/snow without a jacket, in a 3/4 length shirt and wearing a skirt. Tell me that just doesn't suck. So after being out there for like 10 minutes, they let us back into a portable (1st period class), but the buzzy thingy kept on buzzing and I had like a migrane, so I was like practically in tears by this point already lol.

So then, out the window, this girl sees ambulances and fire trucks coming to our school, followed by a camera crew and police cars to block off the major streets near our school.
So we're like "soo... what's going on?" and like no one knows, but people keep on getting put onto stretchers and being taken off to the hospital, so people are starting to freak out.

And the bloody thing is still ringing, so someone with a jacket ends up duct taping it over the P.A. system box thingee. And now everyone that's not in a portable is forced into one, and I don't like crowded spaces lol. So I spent the next half an hour tracking down people with a cell phone, because it, like my pants and jacket and wallet and all that good stuff, was in my locker, in the school, which we couldn't get to.

So after I did that, we went through everyone asking if they knew the number of the school where my mom worked, and no one did, so we had to call other schools in the area to link us to hers. So I called her, saying it was an emergency, and she freaked on me because it "wasn't". Alright then... people are being taken away left right and centre by an ambulance, and it isn't an emergency? So yeah, I'm pretty pissed because she's not taking me home, and my headache is getting worse.

So finally the principal comes around and says as a last resort that they'd send busses to come and get us, so everyone went outside, and locked the portables, but the busses didn't come for a while, so again, outside in summer clothes in the middle of winter. Goddamn, I HATE uniforms.

So the busses finally came, but they were out of service (they already had somewhere else to go, so they could only take us certain places). So everyone just got on any bus, and they took us as far as this plaza, which is still a good 20 minute walk from my house. In a skirt.

Can this day get worse? Ooh yes it can. But it got a little better before it got worse. I caught up with Maureen, and she gave me pants, so I didn't die of frostbite. Thank you <3333. And then we went to seek warmth in one of the stores in the plaza, but it was only like 9:30, so nothing was open, and we were really cold. Really really cold.

So finally this coffee place opened up, and we had like extra-extra-extra-extra-extra large coffees because we couldn't feel our fingers lol. And then we went next door and rented Shark Tale lol. Sooo kawaii! And the guy working there's name is Ryan, and I'm gonna have his babies lmao. Soo bishie! But he has totally crap hours!

So we loitered in there until 11, when the mall (about 10 minutes away) opened, and we hung out there for a bit, and had more hot food and looked for hot clothes.

So, I walked home from the mall, still bloody freezing, to my house, on the way encountering this girl I really don't like. Walk home from hell lol. Brandi, with and I, Matt's girlfriend lol. So in being nice, I walked with her, and she told me she was going to visit her friend Micaela, and then started talking about God-knows-what, then brought up Matt and I, and like totally tried to like, put me down but not seem like it sorta thing. You know what I mean, make it sound like help (which I totally do not need) but it's just like bitchy shit intended to be mean. No big deal though, I'm used to it. When you're considered pretty, girls are always whores to you lol.

SO yeah, walked home, and my mom was there screaming at me because I didn't come home right away. Hello, skirt, was gonna die.. so I got really pissed and was about to walk off when my aunt said I had a phonecall from some guy named Mike, and I was like... Mike? which one...? And then it turns out it was the manager of the place I'd just applied to for a job, so my bad day was put on hold for a moment.

And then my aunt told me what she said on the phone, and it went back into a VERY VERY VERY BAD DAY. She apparebtly picked up the phone, saying I wasn't here, probably off with one of my gazillion boyfriends, and said that she didn't understand why I needed a job, because I had everything, and everything was given to me when I asked for it, and like... I would never ask for a job there because it was like below me or something. He said he'd call back, but I doubt he will. And I really wanted this job too. I was either about to kill her or burst into tears.

So I went for a long walk to avoid from killing her, and burst into tears on the way. What a F<3cked day TT So I went up to the bridge and started throwing rocks into the water to like see if it would calm me down. Didn't work really lol.

So then this car pulls up, and it's my mom, and she tells me to get back in and starts to apologize because she just saw on the news what had happened, and it was a lot more serious that it was, seeing as I was in the tv shot, and you could visibly see me turning blue.

It turns out there was some sort of explosion in the ventalation system, and something (I think pepper spray) was sprayed by someone, and the two like had a *bang!* effect and like polluted the air was causing people to have trouble breathing, and headaches and they were throwing up and passing out.

Now she belives me. Wooooonderful. And she felt really bad for me, so she decided to take me out for icecream, but I really didn't want to, because I was feeling really sick, but I went anyways, but really didn't eat much. And then for a truce she had bought me The Notebook (LOVE that movie. I cried soooo hard!)and stuff, so everything was okay between us.

So on the way home, I'm looking out the window, and I see Brandi.. and this Micaela... seems to look like a Michael to me. And so I was just like... maybe that's her brother or something, but I don't grab onto my brother like that lol. And I don't know anyone who does. And Matt's gonna be heartbroken. Well not heartbroken, because he doesn't like her like her, but like, come on. When something like that happens, you assume it's your fault. And I really don't want to tell him @_@.

So I come home, and my Aunt's mad at me because I'm mad at her, and I don't need a job, and I storm upstairs because I really don't want to hear her shit anymore (we never really got along anyways) and then I'm like totally grounded for being disrespectful, but I don't care, because I feel really sick, and end up spending a good portion of the night throwing up due to the reaction of the explosion.

But then, like out of a dream (or that song Thank You by Dido lol) Chole calls me (ex-boyfriend, back on good terms though) because I had left a message on his friend's answering machine saying there was an explosion, so he was really worried about me and stuff.

So I bitch to him about ALL of my problems and how my day completely sucked ass and I'm PMSing and sick and I wish I could strangle certain people. So he tries to make me feel better, which is sweet, seeing as weeks ago he probably would have paid to see me upset like this. Well... maybe not. He's a good natured sweet guy, but still..

So I was like practically in tears for the whole conversation, and freaking out about that job, and he was just like "call them back. They obviously called you for a reason." and I was like "yeah, but my chances are totally screwed!" and he's just like "I'm sure they'll give you a second chance. Good people get second chances, give them too. If they see what I see in you, they're going to love you, and you'll get that job no problem."

And I'm like... "see? Don't you mean saw?" and he's like "No. See. I see that you're a good person everyday, regardless about what happened between us, and I love you everyday too, even if it took such a shit day for me to admit that to you" And I was like ^___________^ ..."so if they see what I see, which I'm sure they will if you call back and apologize, they'll give you a second chance."

So then there's a bit of silence, and I'm like "Do you believe in giving people second chances?" and then there's silence again, and he's like "...depends" and I'm like "Alright...so you think I'll get it?" and he's like "what? A second chance at this?" and I was like "No, the job..." and he's like "yeah, sure, sure."

So we talk a little bit more, and then I'm really not feeling good, so I have to go, and I'm like "do you think.. this could work?" and he's like "the job?" and I'm like *pause* "No, you and me. Do you think we could get this to work again?" And then there's silence, but the most beautiful words I'd ever heard. You could hear him smile when he said "Maybe..." and that totally made my day a good day, from an absolute crap one. Chole meant everything to me. Still does. And if he thinks I can do something, I'm sure I can do anything, even if it means sucking up to whoever it is I need to call back and apologize times a zillion because I wasn't there when I was supposed to be.

Like I could help it, eh? Well anyways, I've got some homework to do (home sick lol), so I better get that done. Then I'm watching The Notebook. See ya guys later, and PLEASE have a better day then me lol. *mwuah*
