This day started off [i]terribly[/i]. I woke up already in a bad mood (it's "that time of the month"). And I had slept in, so my dad was just yelling at me to get ready really fast and get in the car and I was just like "I'm gonna need a bit of time..." Urgh, he left with my sister without me. Bastard.
When I finished getting myself ready (he was already gone), I realised I had absolutly [i]no[/i] socks. My mom had washed them all the night before, but never took them out of the machine, so I had to wait 20 minutes for them to dry before I could leave. There was [i]no way[/i] I was going to wear sandals - it was cold!
So ya, I walked into Ancient Civs half way through Sasha's project. His presentation was about the Samurai. *shrugs* I didn't miss anything important.
In English class today, we did something different to take a break from Macbeth for a little while. We may have finished the play, but there are still things we need to go over. Anyways, yes, we watched a video about hip-hop music videos used for advertising merch. I didn't even realise it before, but it was all right there. Which, infact, was the goal - they want it to be subliminal. I mean, I'm not stupid, just because I see a product in a video doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and buy it. Hell, I hate hip-hop, why would I want to buy the baggy-ass pants anyways? Not only are the clothes expensive, but they're also ugly as hell. I mean, why would you want to shit away your money on a pair of pants that'll end up wrapped around your ankles? It's fucking retarded, and it just looks incredibly stupid. But hey, in 20 years I'll look back to old pictures of me now and ask myself "What was I [i]thinking[/i]?" XD Though, I'd much rather be this freaky semi-punk-goth mix than a wigger. A [i]female[/i] wigger, at that! *shudders*
Parenting was interesting, to say in the least. I talked to Josh a bit at the beginning about random stuff; which was fun, because I always thought he kind of didn't like me. *shrugs*. We were talking about the assignment Mr.L gave us the other day, where we have to write the childrens story (the one I've [i]already[/i] finished), and Steven joined in. He asked if he could read my story, so I let him. After he was done he was just like "Aw, that was so sweet! It's perfect!" Which actually made me really happy to hear.
Somehow our table got onto the topic of grandparents, and I just turned to Steven and asked him if I had told him what was happening with Grammy lately. He knows her - hell, he should, we were together for a year. She was like his adoptive grandmother. Apparently I didn't tell him yet, so I explained about her mini-strokes. I actually broke down into tears, and as I was doing so I could hear Jade begging me not to cry, or she'd start too. It was out of my control, though. Steven just put his arm around me and talked to me, telling me everything would be alright.
It was weird, in a way, that he was the one to talk to me about it; because I haven't really talked to him in about a month. I just started looking him in the eye again this week. Next thing I know he's letting me use his shoulder to cry. To be honest, I don't think I'd have let any one else do that. Steven's the only one who knows my Gram, and also understands more about how my mind works when I'm depressed. He has always been there with open arms and a kleenex whenever I need it. I mean, sure, he did a [i]REALLY[/i] fucking stupid thing, but he's still a sweetheart. He always has been.
Damn me and my forgiving nature!
(Don't take this as I'm falling back, because I'm not. I've just forgiven him for what he did. I mean, I still don't have any respect for him because of it, but I'm not going to hold a grudge against him. His kindness towards a girl who has done nothing but give him the cold shoulder all month makes up for his dumbass-ness.)
For lunch today, I went to the Drama room to vote for next year's Drama Council. I actually wanted to leave, but it would have been rude if I just got up and left. Andrew said if I voted for him for Special Events Rep, he'd admit that I dumped him. I was going to vote for him anyways; but hey - this way I got something out of it! VICTORY! *dances* It was kind of stupid, because we both know that I dumped him, he just put up a fight to annoy me (btw, job well done); and this was, I'm assuming, his subtle way of dropping the fight and letting me win without admiting it, and getting a vote out of it.
Drama was right after lunch, so I didn't have to move. Geoff and I went over our lines, since Carl wasn't there. I'm more or less off book now! Go me! We had to do this blocking excersize, but we couldn't do it because Carl wasn't there, too. So, instead of letting us sit off to the side, Mr.Mo grabbed a script and read for Carl. I think we actually got some good stuff out of that excersize, that we can actually use in the preformance. So I was quite happy with the activity. lol.
We got a new assignment in Photography class. We're supposed to pick a theme, and make three pictures to fit with the theme. There was love, fear, sadness, confusion, and envy. Ryan chose sadness, and wants to get me and Greg to model for his pictures. I helped Greg with some ideas to do on fear. I, myself, chose love. I think it'd be fun to do. And, I want to be creative and expressive... That's why I'm getting two female models. The message shall be: love knows no gender. Just to make sure, I asked Ms.Coleman if she, or anyone who would be seeing my photo's, would be offended and she said no. So that made me happy. ^^
Spare last period. I lay down in the basement and kinda half-slept. Part way through I decided to get up and clean my locker. I don't know why, either - I just wanted to, so I did. I finished just as the bell went, so I went outside and read more of Time Enough for Love as I waited for Grant.
He had to do this project thing for a contest with his friend Kevin, so he was there, too. I didn't mind at all, actually. He's actually a good guy once you get past the nerdy-ness. lol! He challenged me to a thumb-war at some point during the night and I whooped his ass. It was fun! XD
We watched SLC Punk - it was a really good movie. Funny, but also depressing (I almost cried at the end. I had to stop myself because I didn't want Grant to see me cry! Gaah!). It also hit a little too close to home, what with the main character being a punk named Steve, a lot of talk about anarchy, and acid... Not cool. Other than that, though, I really liked it.
I just kind of diddled around for a couple hours afterwards, listening to random music, as Grant and Kevin worked on their entry for that programming contest. I had no idea what they were trying to do, but it didn't really matter. I still had fun hanging out with them, so s'all good.
Oh, I told Kevin a "little secret" about Grant, explaining why he's the way he is, but we wouldn't tell Grant what we were talking about. So he was going insane trying to figure out what the "little secret" was. It was great, I tortured him all evening! XD (I just made a joke about Grant being spec.ed. when he darted across the street while cars were coming; and it just kind of grew from there. LOL!)
We left his house at 10-ish, the time I was supposed to get home at. When I got in the door, mom was asleep on the couch. *phew*. I'll just tell her tomorrow I came in at 10:10 (instead of 10:30), and she was already asleep, and she won't be too mad. lol!
As for now, I must go to sleep. The advil I took has worn off and my headache has returned. Bah!
