~If you leave where will you go?~

So Wednesday, I went in to theatre, and did both my animal and my pantomime. BOTH were so awful. I'm ashamed. How am I supposed to direct movies if I can't even act? So we did this exercise...called "center of attention" where one person has to focus on something (or pretend as if they're so focused on something) that otehrs try to distract them, by asking questions and such, and they answer without knowing what they've gotten themselves into. So Ignatieva asks Kristin, Chris and I before class if we'll set up a bit of a skit to show everyone else what this thing is all about. Kris is a ballerina, who's warming up for an audition, Chris is her boyfriend who is attempting to pop the question, and I'm her mother...(of course I'm stuck with the sucky part) Anyhow, I'm in the kitchen doing dishes and listening to their conversation. Which is pretty much Chris asking Kris all sorts of questions, and her just saying yes or no. So he asks her to marry him, she says ya. That's my cue. He leaves and I go in and ask her what she just did...she has no clue that she just got engaged...so ya. It went like that. After we did it for the class, Masha (that's our prof's nickname) tells us to split into groups and think up our own skits. So Kris, Chris, Brad and I all get together. The plan was Brad...is focused on his nintendo game in his college dorm room. (it's really funny when he plays imaginary nintendo) Kris...is his girlfriend, Chris is a friend of his, and I'm a friend I suppose who is having a HUGE problem studying for an exam in chemistry. So the first person to try and interrupt is Chris. He comes in and explains that Kris (Brad's girl) has been fooling around. Brad is saying things like "YA! GO! YES!" Then I pass Chris on my way in and sit next to Brad...this is what was said, "Hey Brad! Man, I really need some help. You know that chemistry exam tomorrow?" and he's like, "ya ya ya!" and I said, "well my head is going to EXPLODE! I've been studying for 3 hours and I can't remember anything! Will you help me?" and he says, "no no no YA!" so I'm like, "ok...you know in class yesterday when she said if you split two neurons...and fuse them with sodium, nitros-oxide, and chloresomething...(don't remember what I said cause I know NOTHING about chemistry. I've never taken the class and behind us the whole time Chris and Kris are all over each other, and Brad is screaming "GO GO GO GO SCORE!") didn't she say that it makes a bomb?" and he's like, "BOOM!" So I'm like, "right right good. and if you..." then Kris interrupts me..."hey, I need to talk to Brad...could you..." and I get up throw my hands in the air and say, "I'm never gonna pass this stupid mother...." so Kris goes in and is telling Brad about her cheeating problem. Finally he's like, "aw!" and he throws the pretend controller then asks Kris, "what did you say?" So that was my theatre class. Then I went out to chill in the lobby for about an hour. But I didn't get to do that cause Dave asked a bunch of people to accompany him to Wendys. So Dave, Kris, Sarah, some other girl I don't know, and I all went with Dave in his Grandpa's mini-van to Wendys...(a mini-van with a handicap thingy) So we got great parking...We all ate...and ran into Sean and Jared who happened to go there also. (Jared was supposed to wait for Dave but didn't so Dave refused to let any of us sit with them) Anyhow, the best part happened on the way back. We're driving along...and Kris is like, "what's this???" and picks something up off of the floor of the van. It was a durex condom...opened...and stuffed back inside (possibly used...no one knows...no one dared to check) so Dave...throws it out the window...and we're all like...wait a minute...isn't this your Grandpa's van?!?! So we were trying to figure out whose it was...extra thin for extra sensitivity...I just dont' wanna know. So we all got a big kick out of that. Went back...barely made it in time for choir, and told everyone else the story. Great fun. Oh...another thing...before we had left for Wendy's that Asian guy...and I were both standing in a group of people, and he looks at me...and says, "what's your name???" so I said, "Laura...and you are?" and he says, "Jason." Conversation ended there. But later in choir, he was behind me...and I go to switch music, look down for my folder, and it's a few feet to me right. So I look behind me, see him, he looks behind him like I was looking at someone else. So I walk over and pick up my folder. Get out the right music, and toss it down on the floor and put my foot on top of it. Then he goes, "hmmm...raar!" and I laughed. (HELLO!!! little Asian guy should not be flirting with me!) Youth group was cool. It was better than the last time I went. Found out Dianne is moving to Chicago. Grrr! That's not good. So small group will never be the same again. I love those girls...all those Perry girls. They're great. And it was good to just be there with Nicole. There was an extreme amount of love goin' around. Cause I got hugs from James, and Will, and Goo, and Andrew, and Kory (whose hair is bright blue) and Nate, and Nicole, and everyone. It was nice. Arby's was cool. Jon and Kent ran across Elida Rd shirtless. (at first I typed shitless...same difference) hugs from Danny...Jon sat across from me...and we talked a bit...slowly...things are picking up. Then...Natalie throws this big fit about how much she hates Matt cause he's stupid and cause he's a pot smoker. Right in front of Kent. So Kent jumps to his defence and says, "no one understands Matt but me. He's not stupid." So I grabbed NAtalie and said, "all you're doing is telling him he's doing exactly what he wants to be doing...annoying you. And it only makes him want to do it more. Just ignore him" Then Matt walks over (heard his name I guess) and Kent is like, "she says you're stupid." So he called her a bitch and flipped her off. Then Nicole got pissed. And I was just like...great. And Natalie's like, "ya ignore him! He's stupid." and I look at Matt. He looks at me and I said, "no Matt's not stupid cause he hugs me." and he gave me a hug. I almost felt like I was betraying them. But I know that nothing anyone says is going to change Matt's mind. This is what I've learned from Kir. He makes his own decisions. And I'll let him do that. As long as it doesn't involve me. And I'll be here for him when and if he hits his breaking point and needs someone to fall back on. That's all I can do. Instead of holding a grudge...and causing him to want to be even more rude.

~You could be waiting for a day that won't come. And you could be so much more than you've become.~

So today, big surprise in history...Lisa and I go in...look around for Missy. She's not there. Look around for our group members...and only see weird guy. It was group essay day. So we were like, "aw shit. Chumps. The week they say they're gonna write the damn essay, they don't show up." SO through the first hour of class we take a butt load of notes. Then we get our 5 minute break and we split up into groups. Lisa and I and weird guy are all there...and a few minutes later 2 of the guys who are in our group strut over...the one Mark, has this big grin on his face. They sit down...and I'm like, "so I hope you're ready to write an A paper today boys." He grins again...then whips out a two page paper. And says, "it's done" Lisa's like, "no way" and I'm thinking...ya I bet it sucks...and isn't even about the chapters central question. So I look up the central question...and say to Lisa, "so is it even about...what really happened at the Boston Massacre???" and she's like, "umm...ya actually it is" so I start to read it...and it's pretty good. I look at Mark and say, "wow, I'm impressed." Then after we'd all read it, Prof Meyer comes around and says, "do you guys have any questions???" and Todd says, "nope." we all say no...then she's like..."how come none of you have your books out?" and I look up at her and say, "well uh, we're done." and Mark whips the paper out again. She takes it. Looks at Mark. Looks at me...then Lisa. And she says, "and you've all read it. You're satisfied will the finished product?" and I'm like, "actually, ya we are." Then she told us we didn't have to stick around we could go. So we all got up...the other groups stared at us in awe, and we left. Get out in the hall, Todd and Mark are like, "see ya Tuesday." So Lisa and I went out to breakfast. Talk about a great start to an early day. Later, we were all in the lobby. Jason brings in a boom box...and starts playing dj...with this old skool scratch dance remix crap. He and Chris were dancing...then Chris and Lisa left. Annie gets up and walks across the lobby to do something...and Jason asked her why she didn't have shoes on. She said she hates shoes, and I said, "AMEN!" So Jason turns to me and asks what's wrong with shoes, and I said they're confining. He says, "well so are clothes...you gonna take those off?" and I said, "no. I don't want to offend anyone." He gives me the look...and says, "you won't offend me..." AHHH!!! Then he asked if I was going to get up and do the Save the Last Dance thing with him...he played the soundtrack and he's like, "c'mon...make that noise." and I kinda rolled my eyes...cause the music is all, "you can do it put your back into it...you can do it put your ass into it." for Pete's sake. Sean is sitting there on the orange couch laughing. Then Jared comes in and talks to Jason so I was off the hook for awhile. He kept playing this "combo #5" song...parody of Mambo #5...sung by an Asian guy...with this hilarious accent about combo's at a Chinese restaurant...it's one of those making fun of your own ethinicity things that I just don't understand. And he played Smelly Cat...that song Pheobe sings on Friends. Finally, Chris and Lisa, and Brad come back in. So Jason plays *NYSYNC. He knows Lisa is a big fan. So she and Jason were doing the dance to It's Gonna Be Me. Then all of a sudden, Brad and Chris both jump in. It was the funniest thing...seeing Brad of all people dancing...knowing that dance...it was SO funny. I laughed at him...and when he was finished, he asked why I was laughing. Why wouldn't I be laughing??? Then he said something else...but I didn't quite hear him. Who knows. Anyhow, that was today's 2nd high light. I almost fell asleep in poetry. Hot Doug was there today. He sat in the front of the room, and everytime he turned around to get something out of his bag, or to pass papers back, he looked at me. I was kinda secluded back there in the corner...hell, he could have been staring into space. Whatever...I still can't get over the fact that he picked up my pencil for me the one day. Hmmm...I worked tonight. With Shannon. We just sat around. Messed with customers. That's always fun. There's this kid who works at Verizon Wireless...he's my new stalker. He comes in all the time now and sniffs pants. He moved the manequins in the front...Mollested the male one. Scared people in the hall. Then he tried on the glow-in-the-dark pants that smell like maple syrup. He's obsessed. But he comes in and takes over the whole store practically. Crazy Jon stopped in. He bought some stuff. Stood around and actually talked to me a bit. I'm shocked... Then Mary came in. Kir will know who I'm talking about. This chick...woman...I'd say late 30's. Owns every animated shirt we carry. But she insists upon inspecting EVERY item she buys with a fine tooth comb. Today it was the glow-in-the-dark pants. She found a tiny spot on the leg and insisted we give her a discount. Ridiculous. UGH! But Shannon and I still had a good time. She's got the best stories. We talked about my soon to be assistant manager position...which is awesome. Right before we closed, Danny came in. He's in need of a job. HAd just filled out an application at the Stock Room across the hall. But they only offered him about 10 hours a week. So he filled out an application for us too. He was there...til after we closed...just talked with us. It was cool. Then after he left, I told Shannon WHO he was...and she was like..."OH...OK. Do you think you'd be ok working with him?" and I said, "oh ya, we've worked together before." and she's like, "ya, and once you've got that Assist. Manager thing...you'll be in charge...and you can boss him around." I didn't even think of it like that. But it's kinda funny. What's even funnier, is that I'll be the boss of a couple of people who are older than me. I don't know about that. But I'm so happy...cause I think we're finally gonna hire Kyle. He's that kid who comes in all the time. I love him to death. I'm excited about that. I'm especially excited about Kir coming home this weekend. There's a show at Militia tomorrow! Go! You know you wanna. And I'm excited about all the love I've been gettin' this week. More like proud...I get on ICQ a little bit ago, and Jesse messages me. He says, "hey babe!" awwww. anyhow, I need sleep. I gotta go scan pictures for this silly webpage at my cousin's tomorrow. (Just for Jesse...he asked me to) And I have to e-mail him. sometime...so here I go. And I'm gonna change the band o' the month early...cause I had that Good Charlotte pic up for longer than a month. It's time for a change of scenery.
