Good things in the past few days
Well, the past five days or so have been pretty good. So I'm going to tell you about them. Hehe.

Thursday, February 8th,2007
During lunch, two of the girls where I sit (not particularly friendly with them but...) were talking about SCUBA diving, and how to relieve pressure - pooping your ears, yawning, etc., as you go down.

So then I said to them, and the rest of the group (6 in total, including me), "See, these are things I should be remembering but I don't because the guy telling it to me was hot, and had a great accent." And as soon as I hit the word "was hot" everyone burst out laughing. It was actually quite funny. And true, to boot. The crash course on SCUBA that I got in Hua Hin, the instructor was Welsh (but looked like an Australian surfer dude), and incredibly hot. And yes, I had trouble concentrating on what he was saying, partially because his accent was think, but mostly because he was hot. ^_^ =P

That night was the Mr. (High School) competition. Instead of a Miss Pageant (a la Miss America), our school did a Mister Pageant. 11 of the seniour guys signed up. They did swimwear, talent show, formal wear, and interview questions. Some of them were really funny... and some of them I just don't like. lol.

Scott won the competition, and this nerdy kid that can be pretty annoying won for Mr. Congeniality. I think most of the clapping votes, were to humor him, really.

I was kinda disappointed that Chris N. didn't win, but Scott's a good choice. He's an all around good kid. Well rounded - little bit of sports, "super fan" for sports, student council, human activist ( biggest promoter for stopping violence in Darfur in our school), etc. I'm glad he won.

Okay, really funny story. I went to Borders to study for Acadec (in their little side cafe). I got there around 12:30 (had to wait abt. half an hour for my fav. table to open up. But you shoulda seen me, I was goin' in for the kill on that table, before anyone else!). Around 3:00 this guy comes in, starts talking to the baristas in the cafe, and they're chatting to him like they're friendly and all (he even complimented/ teased one of them on her hair). At three, he asks if he can sit down at my table (all the others were full).

He kept getting up and walking around, disappearing, picking other magazines, talking to the baristas, going out for a smoke. And yes, he smelled of smoke; at one point, the packs were on the table - Marlboro. >_<

He was kinda weird, and when someone else asked what the hell was up with him (after he disappeared for another magazine), the barista explained that he comes in there every day, grabs some coffee and reads magazines. Then he quizzes and comments on them to the baristas (or anyone else listening...).

When Alex got there at around 5:15, the next time he left, the barista came over to us and gave us each a coupon for a free drink. She said, "this is for putting up with him and not running the first chance you got. He's completely harmless." So we thanked her, and agreed that he was "harmless."

Alex and I went to dinner at TGIFriday's, and it felt weird to me, because I'm sure it looked like a date, but it wasn't, especially because he's gay. Just a tad awkward, but that's me - I'm sure he didn't think so. *shrugs*

Flowers flowers flowers! ^_^ My school sends out roses to people who ordered them (to give to other people), on Valentine's Day. We're expecting school to be closed tomorrow, so the club who does them sent them today. I got two roses - one from Rachel and one from Melanie. Which made me happy. Luckily we got them 9th period (last of the day), and I was able to put them in a vase of water soon enough when I got home so that they didn't die or anything.

And of course, when I got home, there was a BEAUTIFUL (and large, it's enormous!) bouquet on the doorstep, courtesy of my dad, who always sends flowers on V-day and my birthday. ^_^ At first glance I was worried, "oh no, the flowers have been outside all day!" but it's so frickin' cold out, it was probably BETTER for them to be outside than in, lol.

And within ten minutes the house smelled of flowers. It smells amazing, I love it!!


The House episode tonight was about a girl would couldn't feel pain!!! OMG - FARFARELLO!!! ^__^ TOTALLY! I was flippin' out and stuff. How cool?!

And it was a good episode in its own right. The ending with Cameron and Chase was little weird (AND they're getting married IRL, even weirder!), but okay. And you know, this proves House CAN do the right thing once in a while. ^^;;

(*continues to believe in her little fan-girl pairings...*)

I hope we don't have school tomorrow. I really want a snow day!! Wear your pajamas inside out for me.
