mood:

... what? mills? school spirit? when did this happen?

well today was fun. rally fourth period, yup. it's weird, but i was kinda happy today. i guess rallies do that to you.

screw all of you who were like "school spirit ew look at me i'm wearing cap colors lololol." paolo briones () sits behind me in english and he was talking about how he was so funny at the rally because he was yelling "go cap." real creative, paolo. rebel without a cause, never seen that one before.

actually, see, the thing is, ever since i've been at mills, school spirit was crap. everyone was always like "oh don't be a conformist, let's not be spirited." but now, since everyone is non-school-spirited, the only real way to be original is to have school spirit. and if you're still non-school-spirited, you're just another conformist. did that make sense? no? whatever.

it's kinda like how gay is the new straight.

...

yes. hm. so yeah.

oh yes! updated contact info. my new e-mail address is [email protected]. i have six gmail invites, so just IM me if you want one. also, if you need to IM my phone while i'm away or signed off, IM "CellularEyelid". yus.

ew, it's friday and i'm home online. i could be, like, doing something. but i have to babysit tonight, so i can't go out. lament.

you know what i really want? i want to go out on a date tomorrow. like, to the movies or something. i don't really have someone in mind. well, there are some people who i would like to go on a date with, but realistically speaking ... not so much.

in the rare case that i do manage to snatch myself a date, i'd want to see "napoleon dynamite" so that i can finally start quoting from the movie. but i fear it is too late and the napoleon fever has died out. oh well.

take me out.

mood: still frusterbated ... but happy.

i just got back from the peer helping retreat. omg so fun.

well let's see. shall i start from the beginning? sure why not.

at first i thought it wasn't going to be as fun as my freshman year, because even though i knew some people that were coming, the ones that i didn't know looked kinda sketch to me. i dunno. but like they say, don't judge a book by its cover.

throughout the weekend i got to meet all these people, and it was so fun. god, i keep saying "fun fun fun" but that's really what the whole weekend was. sure i got to spend time with tay and puli, but meeting other people and getting to know people that i kinda knew before was fun as well. it was so great hearing other people open up and talk without being shy because they felt safe in the environment. it helped me realize that i'm not the only one going through shiz right now, and if anything, i have it easy (as for now ...).

but ... there's always a but ... well, let's just say this weekend could have been so much more fun if ... something happened. tay and puli know what i'm talking about. there was this thing that could have happened, that i thought would happen, that i was almost sure would happen, that didn't. all the clues pointed to it actually happening, but life likes to throw you wicked curveballs that go two hundred miles per hour towards the strike zone and then last minute turn and slam you in the nads. yup.

well, i'm not too bummed out about it now anymore. i mean, i still feel my nads up in my abdomen, but i have disengaged from the fetal position and i'm now sitting on the bench with a bag of ice on my crotch.

sigh.

frusterbation indeed.

BUT. other than that. this retreat was great fun. the bus ride back to mills was awesome, except for the part where we got to mills. we were singing at the top of our lungs and dancing our asses off. well, at least, kellie and i were.

."something" slept..

and that was my weekend. now i'm off to start the tons upon tons of weekend homework that i know i'm never going to finish.

the happy septic tanks. sure they're happy now, but when you're laying outside in your sleeping bag at night, their smiles turn to frowns and they come alive and wreak havoc on the unsuspecting souls upon which they devour. see look, they're plotting their plan of attack.
