Forever Lost

Before I start, I for­got to men­tion some­thing from the day before. When I went to Hunan’s, my for­tune cookie said,

“Noth­ing in the world is accom­plished with­out passion.”

You can fin­ish it off.

Yes­ter­day was an up and down day.

Slept in and woke up feel­ing like I was on top of the world. Went online and talked to Peggy for a while. Then she wanted to take a nap, so I wrote a post in the mean­time. Then she woke up and took off, so I just lay in bed for a while and thought about life. When my mind started run­ning in cir­cles, I read some more Bat­man.

Peggy called me up a lit­tle later because she was going to start mak­ing some more shirts at Jackie’s, and I had men­tioned that I wanted to see the process. Went over there with two bur­ri­tos in hand, since I could use their microwave and have soft shells for once. Peggy was knocked out when I got there, and Jackie was watch­ing TV. Had my bur­ri­tos and then killed the bit of udon that they had left, because Jackie said it was so lit­tle, she didn’t want to save it. Watched TV with the two of them and Mommy Van for a while. Quote comes from that.

When noth­ing good was on any­more, Jackie and Peggy decided to get started. I hov­ered between watch­ing the two of them work on their projects out in the loft and going into Mommy Van’s room to watch her work on her own project on the computer.

Then I was an idiot.

Sophia C came over a lit­tle later, and the two of us migrated to Mommy Van’s room, dis­tract­ing her until it was time for her class at Sac City and she kicked us out. Sophia went home and I did like­wise. Stopped by Kitty’s and gave her the sand I got for her from Santa Cruz that I just always for­got to give her when­ever I went over. Back to my place, and went online. Apol­o­gized to Peggy, and while she said she was OK, I couldn’t shake the feel­ing that I was a shit­head, so I went to sleep and hoped it would pass.

I did feel bet­ter because Peggy called me up a lit­tle later to hang out, and I fig­ured if she’s over it, I should be, too. Took a shower, talked to Jan­ice for a bit, and went online while I was wait­ing for her to come over. Dong Ha mes­saged me with some really bad news on the home front. I called my par­ents, and they con­firmed it. (Not that I didn’t believe Dong Ha, because it’s not like her to joke about some­thing like that. But I just wanted to hear it from the source.) I almost wanted to cry, because I could tell just over the phone my dad was hav­ing a really hard time.

Peggy came over, and we went over to Kitty’s to watch The Eye — Ten Ways To See Ghosts with her. Over­all, I wasn’t scared — it had too many comic relief moments for that — but it did have scary moments. And it was cool how they incor­po­rated parts of The Eye and The Eye 2 into it.

Kitty went to sleep after that. Peggy went to Brandon’s, and I went back to my place. Oh, as I was walk­ing Peggy to her car, she pointed out it was a full moon, and I real­ized I was sup­posed to be veg­e­tar­ian yes­ter­day and today, but I for­got. Jan­ice was on my bed, so I went to Will N’s. Thought about life again until I exhausted myself and passed out.
