First, the obvious: I went a bit crazy and decided to change my layout in the middle of the night. Then I fell asleep before I finished screwing with it. Don't mind the mess.

...it is pretty messy. What, the layout? Oh, I meant my LIFE.

...GOSH!

So last night/this morning Ryan had his 18th birthday party/sleepover. It was almost the best night ever, guys. Even if I spent like an hour sulking in a tree. So you know to average that out it must have been ridiculously epic. We watched Kick Ass again, and even though it was one of those 20-people-in-one-man-cave deals, I actually didn't have any trouble with people being loud or anything. Probably because it's not such a deep movie. Then we hung around a bonfire, then I slipped off to watch the stars (I saw a late shooting star! They were all supposed to be the night before! Lucky!) and everyone played Hide and Seek. People had been leaving throughout the night, and by then it was 2:30 or something so there were only a few guys left plus Ryan's girlfriend and her friend. This pretty much coincided with my happy tree time (I wasn't going to play anyway because I felt super lethargic). Eventually we went inside and watched TV.

One by one everyone fell asleep except me (because there was no room) and when I went downstairs I found Ryan, Kyle, and Sebring...we had our own little after party. It was especially awesome. We wanted really badly to watch the Matrix but we couldn't find it, and by the time we turned on Blade Runner we were passing out. I went to bed at six this morning and got up at 11. Not bad.

I've hung out with the Universe Twin a lot lately! Especially considering that we first met up this January and then nothing until recently. This week I managed to get her to a movie night (her first such event!) and almost immediately she and Kyle hit it off. It is honestly the most surprising thing to ever happen to me. Story of my life, I guess. Things got a bit hairy with me for a while because all week it was getting more obnoxious, especially last night when I wanted to hang out and they were sort of entangled.

(I am just full of innuendo these days. More than usual!)

Anyway, it'll be fine. I have no good reason to be upset by any of this so I'll just settle for the being-weirded-out that is rightfully mine.

I feel like there's more to say, but Mom's pressuring me to get some stuff done and I feel the urge to not stress out our lives right now.

Why on earth do I join the basketball team.

I hate practices.

I hate games.

I don't hate the coach, but right now I am supremely pissed at him.


It's not even that I'm bad at basketball. I'm not great, but honest-to-God I actually do pretty well when I play with my friends. If I was just bad I wouldn't play. I wonder if my problems don't come from the coach. Now that I think about it, I had fun and did well at practice when he left early...

This is what he does. He starts with the "first string". OK. But, except for a few certain people, he will switch out anybody who makes ANY sort of mistake. And that sounds reasonable, but what it means is that none of the "second string" people ever get their game on because they play 3 or 4 minutes tops, out of four 6-minute quarters.

Today even the better kids were playing badly, so we were trailing around 10 points, and with 35 seconds left he put in a bunch of kids who hadn't played much because they aren't as good, including me. He made a joke out of the five of us firstly, and he belittled the game. Instead of playing til the end as best we could, he gave up. It's like that obnoxious kid playing video games who starts killing himself because he can't kill anybody else. It was stupid.



On another note, last night was very, eh, special. I thought I'd spend the evening reading or sleeping, both of which would have been just fine, but instead I got the chance to...well, this isn't exactly a safe haven for me anymore. Suffice it to say that I was out late and enjoyed myself immensely doing things as simple as flat-volleyball soccer, wine glass ringing, or even blanket fights.

My new skullcandy buds just came in. This day is already improving.

Black20's latest spoof:



Don't take any offense, please. There's a reason I'm showing this. Read on:

wiseguysupreme4: Oh, and I finally figured out how to rip videos from the internet.
everybody HEARS: I barely noticed the other one wasn't what they were saying
everybody HEARS: Sweet.
wiseguysupreme4: And furthermore, to get them on my zune.
everybody HEARS: But when they had that guy saying about the scroll and he'd have to kill you
wiseguysupreme4: THAT's when you noticed?
everybody HEARS: he said the word for "we" and I look at the subtitles and what like "Where's 'we' in that sentence?"
everybody HEARS: lol
everybody HEARS: Yeah
wiseguysupreme4: Wow.
everybody HEARS: =P
wiseguysupreme4: Sarah, I hate to say it, but that's really slow.

Here's the kicker:

everybody HEARS: I don't realize that everything you send me has to be a prank. *growl*

Really? That was your first mistake. The second would be taking the statement "It's smile or face death" in that context seriously. Let's just say that the third is all the rest of the obvious jokes put together.

OK. Now all injured parties may take offense.

:D

Pretty good day. Played games a little longer than I meant to, but otherwise pretty cool.

An older guy from my old church (one of the elders, I think) happened to be in Atlanta this week, and he asked me to go get dinner with him. It was really incredible. Honestly, I feel like where I used to go to church wasn't very...well, Godly. I still have a hard time believing how foolish I was, but I was never challenged there. It's weird and sad.

But we had a really great talk over dinner. I'm really encouraged and inspired to see God in other people's lives, especially when I don't really know him that well.

Linkin Park came out with another album while I wasn't paying attention (I never am), and I'm mighty pleased with it. It's a bit of a departure from their latest stuff. Pretty neat.

Astronomy calls me. I've been waylaid by what I thought was a simple angle problem. There will be repercussions. Until next time.
