OrientedDis.. Disoriented. |
Sunday, May 19, 2002 fair warning.. *hehe, here it is: the post below is a loooooong pretty-much-pointless-post. Skip it if you hate details. :) so-far today has been exhauuuusting. My friend called me around 12 a.m. last night/morning to tell me she'd *love* to go to the 'concert' thing in sedona with me.. lol.. so I'm kinda glad my friend Derek (from school) couldn't make it because I wasn't expecting her to call.. though Derek probably would've been fun to go with.. too bad he's a psycho working overtime on a saturday.. ha ;D .. I tried to convince him while he drove home from work last night that he should just ditch work and go to sedona..ahha.. but I guess he doesn't want to lose his job. ;x lol.. my other friend.. she's funny, we had a great time I think (though I terrified her with my driving.. another story).. we decided not to stay at the 'concert' once we arrived because there were *better* things to do in Sedona and things were just getting set-up/tuned when we got there. We just literally walked in.. but we wanted to find the booth where they were selling tickets anyway just to be able to say the 'code' to get in free.. ahha, oh well.. it was kinda a hokie concert. Heh.. I terrify myself with my driving. I refused to buy gas in sedona because it was too expensive.. lol.. and let's just say.. come-time the 'switchbacks' (shaaaarp turns in the road cars going two-way)..er.. I was freaking out about my gas being gone and passing old people on turns.. heh.. tires screeching and all sometimes.. oh gosh.. I really hope she doesn't tell this to my other friends (who already know I'm a crazy driver naturally).. there was one point where I decided to pass a car in a no-passing zone and out-of-no-where ( swear) this car appeared coming the other way in the lane I was passing in.. it was quite frightening, but at least we made it over safe. heh... I need to stop driving maniacish. Blah, so instead of the concert we went and checked out 'garage sales' which were pretty dumb.. uh.. though I'm retarded and touched the most disgusting thing ever because I didn't know what it was at first. It was this fat-long-pig-shaped THING.. *heh*.. and I thought it looked kind of funny..was trying to figure out what it was.. and then saw the garage sale 'label' on top.. "Vibrator".. omg.. it was gross.. and my friend just busted up laughing. hmph. I just wanted to get the heck out of there after that.. lol. Anyway. We made it back, thankfully, without buying any gas. Though the gas tank thing which lights up when you're running out of gas was freaking me out the whole way home. I kind of felt bad running old people off the road because they wouldn't get out of my way so I could get home (no, not literally running them off the road.. but, er, just a little tailing) but they didn't understand my situation. I ended up buying gas anyway after I arrived home because I got home 5 min. late. Actually, 15 min. later than the time I told a friend of mine that I'd be home so I could go with him to this going-away party. Heh.. he called for the last time at 12:15 and I got home at 12:20.. argh. Soo.. needed gas.. went to the party.. saw a couple of friends who graduated last year.. but I was in all of their classes.. glad they got through their first yr. in college, heehee, and now one of them who I sometimes see coming up my street wants me to come see him break-dance (he was the pro at it last yr. in hs).. lol.. but sure.. it might be fun to see that, so I hope he does invite me sometime to whatever type 'competition' they have.. they have competitions in that? apparently so. Left the party, friend invited me to go get ice cream.. told him I should stay away from ice cream 'cause lactose intolerant (truth)..told me I could get a smoothie instead.. .. fine, so I went. He's fun to hang out with sometimes, heh, but I can't help but walk in my door after hanging out, close it behind me, and say to myself.. shit. Why is that? I mean.. technically he does have a g/f?..which isn't me (good for that, too)..but..it just seems strange sometimes... he wants to drive me out to cali. for my orientation at Pepperdine, help me move my stuff out there.. and yeah that's cool, but... argh... my mom told me she'd like it if it was that way too because it would help her save some money.. heh... but.. I don't think so. :/ nope.. I don't want to take that option.. what to do what to do. Upon getting back I rested for a bit because I was already really tired. Then a little later I was off to meet a group of friends to see the school Plays which were being put on that night. First we sat in the next-to-last row, and then I convinced them all to move up to the very front row with me. It was great. Best seats in the house. ;) Afterwards everyone was socializing and I was able to talk with many people whom I don't often get the chance to chat with. One guy came up to me and said "Hi, I don't think you know/remember me..but..just wanted to say hi.." and then started walking away.. ?? lol.. it was kind of funny so I had to go after him and tell him of course I *remembered* him and that he didn't have to run away like that.. he lives up my street.. congratulated him for his awesome acting.. he's a pretty ..interesting?..guy.. different :Þ Wish he would have introduced me to his friend who was standing across the room watching us talk..I've seen him around school a lot, but I don't have a clue who he is or where he came from..hm. I can't stress how great it was to talk with some of these people. One guy was back from college, and I've really been wondering how he did in college, heh, but he's so shy in talking to me (the should-have-been valedictorian for the senior class last yr.).. unfortunately I discovered he's not enjoying where he went to college and that "cs is boring" (the major I plan to also go into).. but I'm still glad I had the chance to talk with him.. it was so noisy in there that I could hardly hear myself trying to talk to people ..so finally a bunch of my friends met outside and we made plans for the night. We decided to drop off all of our separate cars at my house and just take one car to the movies. Heehee.. there's this crazy rush I get by a mass of cars speedily all heading for a location together.. it's just fun.. then everyone parks their cars.. jumps out, piles into one car.. and we're off. The movie (Spiderman) was great.. had planned to go to get something to eat, but we were running a bit late for the movie and so we nixed that.. afterwards we were all *too* hungry to get anything. Heh, when you're *so* hungry that you're just not hungry anymore. Drived around the town for a bit.. lol, and the driver (psycho-girl) is a hilarious/crazy driver.. one person honks at us and she has to follow them? Too hard to explain.. but it was funny.. and that was yesterday. weeeeeeell. that's all. lots to do today.. like cleaning up my disastrous room and starting that term paper. yuuuuuck. . . . babbled Lin |
