I feel pretty good today. Last night there was a 'Goodbye' party for this girl Eris, because she's leaving to go to the marines on Monday. She's a pretty strong girl (physically and spirit) she has so much "voomf"? I don't know, I just hope she likes it.
I wasn't sure how fun it would be. The weather was slightly chilly, and the party was basically outside (at the church). I wasn't in a too outrageous mood, and also it's sad but all i could really think about was my research project. After being there for awhile, it's was so-so. Most people were just "chillin'" instead of playing volleyball...and i'm really bad at volleyball, so I didn't want to play when there were only "serious" games going on. But I was okay just sitting around. I didn't like any of the food people brought. (even the snacks
:(...although someone did bring brownies..I had to control myself.) There's this guy named Phil Davis from Upper Arlington who is a super ditz, so holly (i may refer to her as "halls" sometime, so watch out for it!) and I were just laughing and entertaining ourselves with our "bill & ted" (that's how I think of Phil). it's funny to see someone going along with Holly's jokes cuz I don't normally think of holly being enjoyable with others. (I mean holly is always talking, but you don't usually see a transfer of ideas and laughs, cuz holly runs the show...or people run away--she's kind of loud and annoying ;) So I was loving how Phil just got into every joke that Holly said. I was dying, cuz I was laughing at whatever he did because guy ditzs are the funniest to watch!
Then our youth leader's wife, Kyla was teaching us a line dance that was pretty fun. It wasn't too exciting really just hanging out, but not bad. I know I would have left at 8 or 9. But Holly was spending the night because there hasn't been anyone at her house all week, so she's kind of freaking out because of it. So I stayed there to 12. For a long while we were all in the sanctuary, listening to music, dancing and singing. That was fun, but I was very mellow. Actually it was a nice feeling, I just kind of sprawled out on a pew and watched the action. Usually my ambiversion strikes and i just gotta get out of there, but last night I was perfectly content to just sit there and do nothing. It was wonderful. Tim was sweet. We had fun swing dancing and such. At the end of the night, we were in a room (with others) watching a movie. Just for a couple of minutes because I had to go. It was nice (although I wonder racy for the church...) because we were sitting in one chair, me sort of sitting half on him, and half not. Oh well.
When I got home, I think I seriously would have researched had holly not been there. I joked about the idea to holly, and she just gave me this 'please don't tell me your serious' look. And she knew I was, but I didn't, because I didn't want to be a bad host. So we started a movie, and I went to sleep half way through it. In the morning I woke up and instantly thought of my report. I know if she hadn't been there I would have been all organized getting up early to do it. I felt kind of bad, I was rushing the whole morning trying not to be snotty about it, but I wanted to get started. But I didn't get started until about 11. So I must not have been rushing hard enough. Which maybe is better, I didn't want to be this crazy girl all excited to work on her research, but I mean this weekend is basically it for me.
(and here I am typing out a lengthy message to you. ;)
BTW, you didn't happen to see Dawson's Creek this wednesday did you? I hadn't watched one of my shows in so long! But it was good. oooh, Joey is so me! Everything from the looks she gives to the things she says, it is me! There was this real funny line where Dawson is saying, "The night is young..." (let's get in on!) and Joey replies, "..and so are we." but I heard from someone that they were going to "do it" in the coming episodes, but I think that is going to cause so much problems for them. But hey, just a show, right?
(James SAID:) It's funny, I just realized, and it is somewhat of a
dumb long time coming
realization, that the first sentence of every single
one of your emails
sets the tone for the email.
What delight! I never realized it either. But now that you said something, I wonder if that will influence my first sentence?! :)
Well, my senior all-night party is tonight. I don't know, um, wish me luck? I don't know how this will go. It could be really fun, or really boring, or it could tug on all my insecurities forever making me uncomfortable. It also depends on my moood, hopefully delightful, but I suppose that may dependson how work goes. Cuz I'll be coming from work. With my parents there, I hope I don't feel these pressures to "be cool" just so they will know I'm this great person. Locked in the school with all these people I don't particulary like. Hmmm. It may be really fun, I'll take a couple of chances to shake things up, and maybe I'll sample some other group genres. Too bad all my fave alternateens are juniors. Catch you later!
