Whimsical

It’s funny. There’s so many ran­dom things I’ve wanted to blog about all day. And now that I’m sit­ting here… draw­ing a blank. Let’s see… I’ll just start writ­ing about my day, and see how many things come back to me. And if you’re really spe­cial, there might be a lit­tle extra some­thing for you to read. By the way… I’m talk­ing to three peo­ple on AIM at the same time, so this post might be a lit­tle… disjointed.

For now, let’s start at the begin­ning. I woke up obscenely early again. At first no one was up. Or at least online. But soon, I was talk­ing to Jackie, like I do many other morn­ings. Drew came on a lit­tle later and called me names -

“You are the biggest Xanga whore. Ever!”- Drew.

And then he and Peggy con­spired for the rest of the day to prove him wrong. I’m not being para­noid this time. He admit­ted it!

Chat­ted with some other peo­ple for a while. Then Judy invited me to lunch. I wasn’t hun­gry, but I went to keep her com­pany. We went to Old Tea­house, and she had chow mein, and I enjoyed a Stephen Chow movie called Hail the Judge; I had never heard of it before, but like all other Stephen Chow movies, it was hilar­i­ous. I talked to her about my sleep­ing prob­lem. She says it’s prob­a­bly because evil spir­its are doing some­thing hor­ri­ble to my eter­nal soul. Or pos­si­bly that I keep think­ing about something.

Came back and watched some ran­dom TV shows on my com­puter as I chat­ted some more. Life on a Stick is pretty good. The Office has its moments, but some of his gags were painfully awk­ward to watch. Oh, did you know Steve Carell is going to be Max Smart in a movie adap­ta­tion of Get Smart? I really hope they don’t mess it up. That was my favorite show on Nick at Nite when I was grow­ing up! Jake in Progress is inter­est­ing. I thought it was going to be some­thing like Jake 2.0, but I couldn’t be more wrong. Oh, and I didn’t know John Sta­mos was still alive.

Will invited me to din­ner then. We had Del Taco. It was his treat. Very roman­tic. I mean… ops: Ahem… :firm hand­shake: “Thanks Will. I’m still het­ero­sex­ual.” It’s weird. I live with the guy. In fact, I share a room with him. And yet we haven’t really talked in a while. It’s like I opened up the flood­gates today. OK, not really; there’s still plenty of stuff swish­ing around my head that hasn’t come out yet. But I’m get­ting there.

Back to the com­puter once again. Notice a theme in my home­life? Read some comics online. The one Penny Arcade did for Splin­ter Cell is great. Got my Calvin and Hobbes fix, even. I had to set­tle for ran­dom ones online since I don’t have any real books on me. I think I’m gonna have to buy this when it comes out. I really liked today’s reprint -

(If you can’t read it, I apol­o­gize. At the bot­tom, Calvin says, “You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rock­et­ship under­pants don’t help.” To which Hobbes replies, “Well, you’ve done all you can do.”) I didn’t feel like that today, but def­i­nitely in the recent past. Oh, and for another good one, see Mommy Van’s Xanga.

Clint called me up when he got back in town. Yay! Qual­ity time with the LB! I love hang­ing out with him. We were gonna get ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s, but they closed incred­i­bly early. Went to the Baskin Rob­bins instead. Our ran­dom con­ver­sa­tions are so amaz­ingly funny. My LB is so sim­i­lar to me in so many ways. And then there’s one thing that really sets us apart. I want to learn from him in that respect.

Got owned repeat­edly by Drew and Peggy. (Refer to the AIM con­ver­sa­tion between them in that post.) Drat. Now I must hack the Xanga data­base and make it so I can com­ment before peo­ple post, to ensure my right­ful place as first com­menter. Do you know how much of a pain that is? Why can’t you just let me be? Watched some more TV and chat­ted with some more folks. Yay for my mom­mies stay­ing together! We’re not dys­func­tional like Han­cocks and West­esses. Dou­ble yay for finally get­ting to talk to Kris­ten Jue, my IC Pen Pal, on AIM! (We were play­ing com­ment tag for a while on our Xan­gas.) Aw.. .it’s a shame I can’t go to Rho Rho Sec­tion­als and meet you in per­son.

That pretty much puts me up to the sec­ond. Hope you guys had fun read­ing about my day, because I had a good time liv­ing it. … Except for the Xanga hate.
