So Who's Going to Watch You Die?

I'm going to be honest. The new Death Cab CD, as lovely and beautiful as it naturally is, is also alarmingly depressing. Which isn't very helpful of my mood, which today is sort of lonely. But that's because I spent all day in Columbus, having no contact with any of my friends, and by the time I came back it was too late (and I was too tired) to do anything. So poor Carmina is downstairs watching TV because I couldn't find anything better to do with her time.

So now here I am, wasting my life away online, because newsflash: there's nothing better to do when half your friends are at an OLA fest you've already attended, and the other half hauled out to freakin Pennsylvania without you. You know, it's not really like I'm bitter or anything.... not that it's anyone's fault really, except Eileen's, because she kept me on the god-forsaken soccer team. (We finally won a game today, btw- 6 or 7-1, and yes, that one was all my fault.)

So basically today was a waste of a perfectly good weekend day. The only thing I did was read a few chapters of the Oddessy. Which is actually quite a good book, I'm enjoying it immensely. I just don't have enough of a chance to read.

Yesterday was fun though. After I got back from soccer and killed time, Carmina, Christina, Ana and I (no, there wasn't any english being spoken in that car- but there wasn't any spanish either, so I couldn't very well keep up with the conversation) went to the OLA fest. I actually hate festivals, and didn't bother bringing money, so they wandered off and I waited for Caitlin and shannon to show, which they soon did. We wandered about for a while, running into various (mostly drunken) maggots that we knew, and Matt what's-his-name from the play. (biggins maybe?) And talked to him so that we appeared less uncool, which totally got defeated when the spanish girls walked by with about seven of their friends and their hosts. (Yeah.... that's right. The girls from Barcelona, a city about 5,000 miles away from Cleveland were more popular than Shan, Cait, and I, the natives.) I also ran into random bando friends of Tricia, Jeremy and Scott, and I was super proud that I remembered their names and I could introduce them and not make an ass of myself. And Colleen and Lolo met us, they were... um... tipsssssss.. but what can you do, so were most other people there. After a while, the contingent of maggots got too strong for me to handle, and so I picked up the spaniards and dropped them home, and then carmina and I went home, where cait and shan were feasting upon the wonder that is cookie dough.

So next weekend is going to be super busy, but hopefully super fun. Friday will be the fiesta espanola at mi casa, then saturday the Bay game and the rave, then sunday possibly we're off to cedar point. I'm looking forward to next weekend's chaos.

Alright. I'm outie.
