pacificpikachuLet's see. Because I can still remember yesterday in addition to today (wonder of all wonders), I suppose I should write about it. I honestly can't say I have anything better to do.
Mom decided to have me take the bus to school yesterday, seeing as the bus stop is literally directly on our property and she doesn't like waking up early. I predicted that this would suck, but I didn't think it would suck nearly as much as it actually did. Kelsey (bunny-Kelsey, not torment-in-Creative-Writing-Kelsey) apparently lives up the street, as she gets on the bus on the same stop as I do, but this didn't affect anything because I barely spoke to her at all. When I got on, the bus was crowded, and as the trip went on, the bus became crowded to an extent that is basically indescribable. Like...three people to each two-person seat, plus people crammed in the aisles, plus people sitting on the laps of people sitting in the aisles.
It can't be adequately put into words. It was like a cattle truck. The guy next to me in the aisle smelled heavily of cigarettes, and, indeed, he and his friend spent the whole time trading cigarettes. Not smoking them, thankfully, but trading them nonetheless. The guy next to me also told drug stories loudly for the entire ride--directly into my ear--and stuttered so much I don't think even Tanner could match that level of stuttering.
I felt sick by the time it was over.
Anyway, of course I rushed off and assaulted Cody for a hug at that point, gathered candy from some friends, and then ran off to class. I swept the whole first period away and talked about Loveless a little with Jessie. I've determined by now that her anime knowledge does not step beyond that of yaoi/shounen-ai. >.> It's sort of disturbing. I mean, you'd think she'd have seen some other anime, but apparently she barely has. And if she has, she insists on slashing everyone and everything so long as they contain the male bits and are pretty. Yeah.
I mean, I know I'm a shounen-ai fangirl (and a *slightly* rabid one at that), but this is just ridiculous.
But I like her enough and she gave me a cookie, so I was happy.
Second period...ehehehe, Mr. LaMarca (AKA the student teacher) put the chairs in a circle and asked to class to introduce themselves with three questions: 1. Who is your hero and why?, 2. What would you do with a million dollars?, 3. What are your plans for the future?
I direly wanted to shock them with my dorkiness by stating Pikachu as my hero, but Clint stole my thunder (haha, bad pun) by stating Ash Ketchum as his hero before I got a chance. I couldn't decide whether to be more amused or miffed. I did get to do the Pikachu voice for the class, though, which caused much amusement.
Also, I couldn't see a thing all period because I was strategically located in a spot where the sun hitting the roof of the wrestling gym was directly in my eyes. I was literally blind for just about the whole hour, and I couldn't easily move, either.
Mr. Humphers made us run again in PE.
During lunch, I gave Cody a chocolate rose (to little or no effect XD;;) and we laughed over the newest Anime Club poster (which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zo_sama has in her LiveJournal) and were silly and ate truffles and candy. Kathryn gave me the funniest valentine EVER (it entailed random pictures from National Geographic and trading cards of random middle-aged men), Zoe gave me a Loveless valentine, Shannon gave me a Harry Potter valentine, and Ciera gave me a pretty red carnation. ^_^
We continued critique in Art. Don't remember much about that.
Um...the rest of yesterday wasn't very exciting. I watched a lot of AMVs with Ryan and played Solitaire on the computer. I was definitely on one of my bad days emotionally, as usual for no apparent reason, and I did some pretty severe wangsting last night for truly no reason. It had nothing to do with the fact that it was Valentine's Day, it was just not a good day emotionally regardless. I'm still kind of in the negatives emotionally... Not that badly, but also not feeling 100%. I started out today in a very good mood, but because I've got a cold, I'm all tired, which has eventually caused me to be all unreasonable again. And I've barely gotten to see Cody all day, which I think may have been a big part of it. ._.;
I slept really well last night thanks to some cold medicine, but my alarm woke me from a very pleasant dream. I hate it when that happens! It involved riding bikes in Nevada City (which didn't look like Nevada City at all), some of it made metaphorical sense (involving reluctance to jump the bike over a big gap in the street), and other aspects of it made literal sense to me in ways that were extremely obvious and I don't really want to discuss. It was disappointing to wake up and realize it wasn't true, though.
However, the dream gave me a positive attitude to begin the day with, even if my tiredness kind of interfered with that attitude later. Listening to the second Arjuna soundtrack in the car was really nice, too. I gave Cody a last-minute hug before class, ran off, and started watched AMVs on my portable DVD player. Well...until Mr. Baxter hauled me off to continue cleaning, at least. ._.; It was okay, though--I got a lot done, cleaning-wise, and I also listened to the Pillows the whole time, which made me rather gleeful. I was so sad to have to turn off the FLCL CD at the end of the period. Oh! And I found a plastic purple bat ring to use as a wedding ring for KK (because I know she won't settle for anything less than the best).
In Government, I was shocked. People actually participated in the class discussion, and got fairly passionate about it, too. :O I think I would have been more intrigued and astounded if I hadn't been falling asleep at the time.
PE would have been terrible if I didn't sound thoroughly sick, which made Mr. Humphers okay my request to just walk the track instead of run it. I felt very self-conscious, though, being so far behind everyone else. I only did two laps instead of the four he said we should do, but he'll never know the difference. It was freezing out, too--I wished I could just be sleeping somewhere warm instead. We headed to the weight room after running. I spent a little while playing with one machine, but became bored of this quickly and went to hide behind an outcropping in the room, between two mirrors that would have revealed my hiding spot if I didn't stand between them.
Lunch was okay. I don't really remember it all that well... Cody took off early with no hug (;_;), and then I think Zoe, Shannon, etc., and I spent the rest of lunch talking and laughing. I think something funny happened, but I don't remember what it was.
Art was really funny and cheered me up for a while. XD; We discussed our next project, which is "Propaganda". Our whole group is doing Anti-Outies posters. It's going to be beautiful. We also talked about really silly and stupid things we've done and laughed so hard. Makayla reminded me of the dancing ostriches with singing pink-and-purple toe socks thing from Sophomore year (don't even ask), which I had totally forgotten about and caused much amusement. There were tons of other stupid in-jokes we discussed, but there's no way I could cover them all.
I almost fell asleep again in English, and the minutes went by reeeally slowly. We just talked about Pride and Prejudice, which I thankfully finished last night. I was getting terribly tired of that book.
When I went to go retrieve Cody as I usually do before seventh period, I discovered he had gone off to a tennis match, so I was terribly sad. T_T Also, Mr. Larsen wouldn't let me read the newspaper while Dr. Hight was talking, and KK and Ari left at 2:05 PM for a choir event, so I just left Anatomy when they did and went to the art room to talk to Makayla and Kathryn.
Anime Club went surprisingly well today. We basically instituted a regime change today--meaning we expect the members to offer more suggestions of what they want to do instead of us just ruling it all the time. This idea seemed to go off decently well, and I discovered that my Japanese lessons are actually appreciated. O_o; We lectured them for quite a while on that, and then showed some AMVs, which went over well. Mom picked me up directly after Anime Club ended, dropped me off at Dad's, and...that's where I've been since, just taking a shower and sitting around on the computer and such.
Well, I'm going to go call friends because I feel lonely, so I think I'd better be off.
