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.

If You Feel, A Little Left Behind
Today was quite a busy thing.
I got up bright and early after a nice, fucked up sleep (thanks to my coma) and went to soccer, which was lame, but soccer-y, so whatever. I don't even notice it anymore, it's just an inevitability of life.
Okay, so then I showered and clothed, and may I say, clothed in a super-girly manner (I really usually am too lazy for words- sweatpants, t-shirts..... sooo lazy) but that's okay because I had sparkly shoes and that's what matters.
Shit, I can tell the benadryll is already kicking in.
Anyway, no use stopping now.
So then mother made me do grocery store run, for the stuff for soccer in Mentor tomorrow, and she failed to give me enough money, so I was broke. Then I picked up Kristen, and we went to Crocker Park and picked up Carmina and Christina, who were there with Juge, and we took them back home to change and shower. Then we went to the almighty liquid planet.
After Liquid planet, we went to Ignatius, since they didn't get there in time for lunch. We were sitting around on campus for a while, Carmina and Christina talking to their friends (who are quite attractive spanish specimens), and Kristen and I talking to Nick Ohlrogge, which was odd but cool I suppose, and being stared at by boys in general, until we got kicked off the campus by the dean of students. (Mind you, prior to that, their like head preist dude walked by and just said, "hello ladies") So after three whole minutes of waiting for the school day to end, Kristen and I stood awkwardly by the school's entrance and randomly talked to people we knew, like Ryan and Scott. After a bit, I noticed the gangly shape of Skoch in the distance, and so we went to talk to him and Ricky. So we hung out for a bit, and I saw young Nick Hubner, which was great, good science olympiad times, and then we talked to Ohlrogge for a bit more, and then Carmina & spaniards went to Wendy's, and Kristen and I decided it would be fun to go find the jugglers.
We did indeed find them, with the aid of some random freshman friend of Timmy's (it's so nice- we had double control over him- 1 cuz we're seniors, and 2 cuz we're girls) and we managed to scare the shit out of Brady when he attempted to leave the gym and we were hiding behind the door so the teacher wouldn't see us. Then Skoch and Ricky exited and we sat around and talked for a while. And just because of something Skoch said (well he didn't say it, he was relaying it to me) I would just like to point out that I am not a lesbian, I am just too ugly to ever have a boyfriend, not to mention probably too self-centred to ever make a good girlfriend. Soo yes, eat that.
Anyway, so then after that was done, we went back to Wendy's (mind you at this point, we've been at Ignatius for like two hours, and people just keep looking at us like we're aliens, particularly the freshmen). Poor random little freshman latin-speaker was there with about six spanish-speaking senior-level kids. Kristen and I felt bad for him. Anyway, we left shortly after, and I took Christina and Carlos home, and then dropped Kristen off, and now I'm here. Thinking about doing my DBQ. Thinking about it.
And that's what counts.
In all reality, I'm probably going to pass out from the meds. See ya at ten o'clock.

So Many Possibilities
To not be alone.
Ahhh, how nice not to have school tomorrow, and to know that I'll be done with practice early! Of course, today I took a benadryl after school and pretty much slipped into a coma for four hours (so you took a coma after work? did you have a nice coma?) and missed all these calls from Juge and Laura, and basically didn't know where Carmina was. Yeah, I'm a pretty sweet foreign exchange student host- I've lost her like 60 times, I never know where she is because I always have to run off to do stuff (or I pass out) and thus just kind of hope she'll find her way home. She must hate me, I wouldn't blame her.
Anyway, I'm pretty much completely jealous of Katie, Shannon, and Caitlin, who are all headed to Chicago for our random Wednesday off. I miss chicago, and I miss New York, too, and basically I just miss being not in Cleveland. But tomorrow I'm thinking we'll journey to Iggy's for a nice lunch break with Carmina's various spanish friends (at wendy's.... ew) and, of course, to rub in the fact we don't have school! On a Wednesday! um, whoohoo!
New Death Cab CD= sooo majestic. Yes, majestic. It's sort of my new adjective to describe what I love. I got tired of all the old ones.
New iTrip= also majestic, because it makes listening to new Death Cab 100 times more possible.
New shoes= sparkly and joyful. That's all.
Tonight, Juge wandered off with Carmina, so I went to Clare's and hung out with her and Elizabeth (and Syd, as well, for a short time) Which was fun. They are good girlies, I don't see any of them enough, particularly Elizabeth, who I am lacking classes with. We sat around 'watching' Harold and Kumar Go to Whitecastle, but really we just had many discussions, particularly what we'd do if we became pregnant (horror of horrors, dammit) and how Adam is apparenally actually normal. (I have yet to be proved that)
Um, anyway, I guess that's all that's really new around here. I did write Clare a pretty awesome poem today, about the Lobsters in her hair. Yeah, definately ask her about that one. It's pretty awesome, along with my song about stats.
Okay. That's all. To those of you at Bloc Party: so jealous.
