May. 22nd, 2001 02:17 amgood day.
got up at noon and drove mom to church, then went to school. i parallel parked, and it didn't take me 5 minutes! and as i got out of my car, two others drove past and i thought, oh i bet this is one of their parking spaces, and they're going to be angry. but they just drove past.
sarah was there, twas good. and shauna acted like she hadn't seen me in a long time (upwards of 12 hours, oh gosh!), and i got lots of (chaste!) kisses from people. twas fun. cap and emwy and rosie all looked exceedingly tired and unhappy. i was sad for them, especially cause i didn't know how to make any of them feel better. cap and i decided that we're going to catch up some time. very nebulous, i know. but still. we haven't really talked for over two years.
random aside: lesbianism is contagious! or at least bisexuality. :)
then people went to class, and i got change from mommy groves cause the machine wasn't taking dollars. and... um. oh, right. break. vast amounts of people. i petted jen for a while. she was fuzzy. :) i saw andy, with the other andy (who somehow i managed not to have a name for when he was in front of me) and then i turned around and jackson was gone. barros said they were going to five guys, and i had been really hungry, so i was going to ask if i could go along, but when i turned around he was gone too.
so i just loitered, and eventually chris picked me up and carried me to the green room. lots of troupies there. i spent the 'class meeting' sitting on elly, with chris leaning on me, and i think sylvie too... there was someone else - ira? i think. leaning on me. and i leaned back on (and tickled mercilessly, when i felt like it) rachel. lots of people. it was nice, i hadn't been part of a sprawl like that for a long time.
hung around afterwards, leaned on jackson for a little bit, and eventually took rosie and sylvie and ira and marilyn to fresh fields, where we ate sushi and jicama and baguette. twas fun.
and *then*... i went to fencing. got there early, even though i thought i was going to be late. thomas lyon was there, and gave me a good fight and some good pointers. need to attack obliquely, instead of straight in. and for some reason i wasn't using my hand as much. we did some parry riposte drills, and i talked to marcellus about going through digrassi term by term.
picked mom up, got there just in time.
lots of rain. it just thundered. yay thunder.
i was told to use the downstairs computer because joel was doing homework. i tried to run aim. from the hard drive. from the embedded version in netscape, from the version on the upstairs computer. none of them would open. i tried aim express, and it told me i was behind a firewall, but wouldn't give me connection options. i tried reinstalling, both the beta and aim 95. both gave me an error halfway through installation.
i tried opening the livejournal client. it gave me the login box, i logged in, the login box disappeared... and that was it. it just disappeared. still running, i think, but i couldn't get to it.
i tried logging into livejournal. it did that, but didn't retain it when i tried to view my friends page. and when i tried to do live mode the frame that i think is usually hidden filled half the window, and couldn't be resized.
all i could do was icq (which i don't use near as much as aim) and email (which i don't get all that much of). so it was kinda useless. so i waited until joel got off the computer before i could actually get online.
which means of course that i'm tired and sleepy and have no attention span. i'm hanging around online hoping that i'll have a conversation making up for the lack of physical closeness... i think the troupe sprawl highlighted what i don't have.
since it's thunderstorming, and the last clap of thunder vibrated the keyboard and the floor, i'm thinking i should finish up on the computer before the power goes wonky and the computer fries.
i like thunderstorms.
sorry about the long post. one of these days i'll get around to using lj-cut. but for now i am a lazy bitch. i still have rosie's scrunchy. wanted to go to j-day on Friday and give it back, but we're leaving for camping and i have to be home and packing. i wanted to give it back to her on Monday, but i won't be at school because it's a holiday. so i hope she didn't want it back any time soon.
and yes, i am in fact going on the church camping trip with my family (something we've done every year, and is at least part endurance testing, for me) instead of going to atlantia's 20 year celebration. which every atlantian i've ever met is going to be at, and they all keep asking if i'm going to be there. and yes, i realize they'll probably have a 25yr too, but i probably won't be here. weighs her options: something i've done every single year of my life bar 3, i think, and only vaguely enjoyed sometimes, when the weather wasn't too awful - which it will be this year, horrid that is. or, a huge event, similar to ones i've enjoyed greatly in the past, with people i don't get to see very often and miss, the like of which won't be seen for several more years? i know which i'd choose, given my way.
okay, now i'm done. must fall over i mean sleep.
