So this girl may not be as intelligent as I was gtiving her credit for. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I am quite relieved to say the least. It was a nice check of reality, being my perception of her was without a doubt a little embellished. How did I come to this revelation, you ask? Well, it is quite a simple story: We met up with each other after our art classes 5th period (we do that every day now), and she brought up the fact I take Applied Design and was wondering what I thought of it, etc. She had taken it before and just wanted to know my general opinion. In my statement, I described it as "therapeutic." When I said that, she laughed a little bit saying, "Whoa, 'therapeutic', big word. Don't know what that means." A light bulb went off in my head at that moment. It was not so much the fact she did not know that one word, but the fact she added that it is a "big word," as in she is not accustomed to a more eloquent vocabulary. Before this incident I figured she could probably knock me out choice of words, but, alas, she is indeed human. On a semi-similar tangent, I heard her cuss for the first time today, lol. It was rather interesting. I never saw her to be one that has such a habit, but perhaps she just does not do it often. We happened to cross each others' path on the way up to our classes after 6th period, and earlier the school had a fire drill which left us standing outside for a good twenty minutes or so; they rarely ever take that long. I inquired, tongue-in-cheek, what she thought of the fire drill. She completely broke her usual calm air, and just broke out saying, "It was so fucking stupid!" (as you can tell, we students are tired of dealing with fire drills). She said it light-heartedly, but it just jolted out there and caught me rather off guard. It was very interesting, indeed. My immediate internal repsonse was, "Holy crap!," lol. As an end to this portion about her, she and our friend will be attending my play. Apparently our friend had said she would pay for the two them, but is currently lacking in funds. So, I paid for their tickets with what money I had left and told her she owes me. Opening night is today, March 26, 2004. They are coming tomorrow. I hope they enjoy it. Our journalism staff finally sent out the magazine we were trying to get done. It is pretty damn good, if I say so myself (and I do say so). Apparently some past staff members visited the room, and the guy who was the big graphics person back when he worked on it liked a lot of my graphics and photo illustrations. So that was cool, good ego-boost for me. The few people who are going to San Diego are leaving this upcoming week, and I am indeed to be left in charge. I can see me now, pulling out Nazi Germany and going dictator ... >.> Or maybe more along the lines of "benevolent dictator." I suspect a mutiny, none of them will listen to what I say. Oh well. I am going to try to get my stuff done before then so I can just pull out the fact I already have my work they will be needing to do, done. When we finished tonight, our adviser said in his relief that today he is going to begin drilling on those members of staff who are just huge piles. So it should be an interesting day. This Johnny Special K, 00:32 ... signing out.
