30 Jul 01

In general, I wouldn't say today was a *good* day. It's a fairly good day at the moment but it started badly. Kay so like, I went to bed at 1.32 after Andromeda was over and I'd brushed my teeth and stuff and went to sleep. And stuff. But actually I listened to the entire Muppet Treasure Island ST before falling asleep. ::waves happy insomnia flag:: Oh ya. And yesterday is like, the first Sunday that I didn't do a journal entry since I started the journal O_o Even though I haven't been doing them very often lately, I have consistently done one every Sunday. But not yesterday.

Okay, so. I went to sleep then-- I guess it was probably around 2.30 or whatever when I actually fell asleep. Then I had the most horrid dream that really when you wake up and think about it for a while it's not really that horrid, but when you're actually having it, it's really aweful. My old elementary private school principal, Mrs. Stubblefield, was harassing me because I had "stolen" her sweatshirt and pants which were just lying in a bathroom in front of a sink somewhere, and I had put them on because I got out of the shower (which was at a weird school thing on a train...?) and I didn't have any clothes x_x so I was going around in a towel looking for something to put on and the sweatshirt and pants were in another bathroom so I put them on and planned to go make an announcement in front of everyone saying basically "Sorry, I'm wearing your clothes, just tell me whose these are and I'll wash them and give them back to you tomorrow, I just needed something to put on." But Mrs. Stubblefield was going up and down the aisle making announcements and she noticed me and got really mad (I hadn't been able to make that announcement, obviously) and was like "you little creep, you stole my clothes!!" and then she accused me of breaking into her office and stealing things when really they were just lying in the public bathroom =\ Then I promised to get them back to her but she was still really mad at me. Also, it wasn't really a sweatsuit even though it was a sweatshirt and sweatpants, because they didn't match. But they were very soft. Anyway I'd also screwed something up in class before taking the shower because I thought I was supposed to go somewhere but I was really supposed to stay behind and arrange black dresses with Kefrin because I refused to read a chapter of a P.G. Wodehouse book out loud. Also in the dream P.G. Wodehouse was a woman. Then later Mrs. Stubblefield was acting all nice to me and I didn't know why. I was wearing my purple sunglasses. *nod* So then for some reason I wrote a letter of apology about the clothes to some guy, and he wrote a letter back saying that my handwriting was an aweful parody of Mrs. Stubblefield's and that obviously I had a "wicked scheme" and was trying to make her look stupid or something. But he only said nice things in the rest of the letter. It was odd. Also I told mum and AnJa about what had happened and mum said that it was wrong for me to have put on the clothes and that I should have just put on the clothes I'd been wearing before I got in the shower even though they were DIRTY. She used some kind of term to describe what I'd done, "un-gratic" or something, that was kind of like "un-grammatical" only instead of grammar it was a word that kind of sounded like grammar but meant etiquette. Then I was going to ask her if she would put on clothes again even after they had been set down in a puddle of sewage (even though mine hadn't actually been, I just didn't want to put on dirty clothes) and rinsed off in the toilet, only I didn't ask her because for some reason I thought she would say she would. Then I remembered I'd promised to wash the sweatsuit and give it back, but then I woke up (in real life) and realised it was only Monday and I don't have to go "to school" until Wednesday (Soundsations rehearsal starts Wednesday) and thought I didn't have to wash them until then. Then went back to sleep and continued with the dream. I went to go wash the clothes and I was afraid they were dry-clean only, but the tags said something about "Machine wash medium" or something. But I thought I was running out of time to wash them. Or something. That's about all I can remember *shrug*

Also I kept waking up, then going back to sleep and continuing having the dream. x_x I woke up once at 8 in the morning, once at 10, once at 10.30, at 11-something, at noon, and then at 2 O_O And when I woke up I got really depressed for no real reason (started crying once) and really, the dream upset me a *lot*, I don't really know why. Then I had a thought that maybe something had happened to one of my friends (?) and worried about that a bit. Then I got up and wandered around. We were gonna go to Super Target (so Dad could get a Father's Day present for his dad [a month late] and a birthday present for his mom [a week late]) and then get gas (hee hee) but really even getting gas didn't cheer me up (that's how bad I felt).

Hooray, there's almost a five-hour time delay between that last paragraph and this one O_o Well. Back to the magic story. I felt all depressed and stuff but was going to Super Target and to get gas... then mum got home... and I went and got dressed... and put on makeup, which is something I almost never do, but I thought I might feel better if I looked pretty ;o (I didn't. Feel better that is, because of COURSE I looked pretty, eh!) I also put on shorts O_o I can't even remember the last time I wore shorts that weren't over just a bathing suit or something. I hate wearing shorts. And I changed out of them into my camouflage cargo pants anyway ;o Then, we went to Target, and mum came too. I washed my hands (I'd gotten a teensy bit of makeup on my left index finger and hadn't noticed it but now I did and hated it) and then went and found Bridget Jones's Diary in the book section and read the first bit. Then AnJa came and got me. And stuff. And we found these jacket things that were really soft, and I got one of those in light blue and a white turtleneck tank top thing to go under it. Then we left. I felt a little better by then, but still kinda cruddy *shrug* We ate at Chik-fil-A (YAY!) because it was like 4.30 and I'd eaten nothing all day and everyone was hungry and stuff. It was kinda creepy because I think it's a somewhat new Chik-fil-A and it's overstaffed o_O and we were the only people eating there o_O so all the employees were like... eager to help us o_O and all stood there and stared at us while we got refills o_O

And then, gas. But since we had soda from Chik-fil-A dad and mum said we couldn't get drinks ;_; but then dad allowed us to get 44 oz. anyway n_n It was a happiness. So, we got those and went home and I got on the computer and started writing this. Then we left and went to see a movie at the IMAX called Into the Deep. It was beautiful *_* ....and then we came home and ate ice cream and I ate tortillas and finished my 44 oz. Dr Pepper while watching taped Saturday morning cartoons. Then came and got on the computer. Yaaaaay.

Now I'm done about today, but!! What about the previous week in which I did not write any journal entries? Well, I'll tell you. The highlights, anyway. Yay. ...don't remember Tuesday at all, really. I could go look at mugendai and see what I wrote that day, but I don't feel like it. On Wednesday we went down to Corpus Christi and went to the aquarium. It was sooo gorgeous *_* My favourites were the Weedy & Leafy Sea Dragons. SOOO pretty!!! Also went to a random store with lots of stuff and tried on a bikini that was too big in the lower regions o_o Cos I don't have a fat enough bum. o_o Yay. I wouldn't ever wear a bikini anyway though. I just wanted to try one on. That evening, the others went out to the beach and I hung out in the suite (it was reaaally nice!) and read Les Mis and channel surfed a bit. We went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant called Golden King. It was delicious and I loved it so very very much. Then the next day I did beach stuff for a while and then we left. Ate lunch at... ummm... I forget where we ate lunch. Then we went home. And ate supper at Chik-fil-A =D! And on Friday I had a voice lesson at Dowhy's apartment, and I've decided to call him Grandpa Dowhy from now on. I think his boyfriend called during my lesson, but I'm not sure. Saturday.... uhhh... Saturday. *blink* OH YEAH. I went to see America's Sweethearts with Chris, Kat, and Lauren. I liked it. *waves flag* But Lauren was acting weird =\ We were staying through the credits (firstly, because I *always* stay through the credits, and secondly, because the Corrs had a song on the soundtrack and Kat's obsessed with the Corrs and wanted to stay until the song was over) and she got all uptight and kept wanting us to leave and thought we were harassing the employees by staying and that we were comitting some horrible atrocity by not going before the end credits were done. And then when we were walking back to Chris's house, she walked like five yards ahead of the rest of us and wouldn't talk to us.

Also we stopped at Barnes & Noble on the way back from the theatre. ^_^ And they had the compilation of the first six Ultimate X-Men!!! I love that series, but I didn't start getting it until issue 2 so I hadn't read the first one. And, I read it, and it was great! I love it even more because Quicksilver is cooler than normal in it. Actually, he's mostly always cool. He was cool in the old cartoon series, he's cool in X-Men: Evolution, he's cool in Ultimate X-Men... the only place he's not very cool is in the main continuity O_O Oh well. I like him especially in Ultimate X-Men because he has this whole Frederick the Great thing going on. It rocks. Like, his dad (Magneto) is really mean to him especially and deliberately does mean things to him, like saying bad things about him to other people when he's standing right there, and calling his power (super speed) "effeminate". It's the effeminacy that really gets him right up there with Frederick =D Only, he's not gay, and it's 90% sure that FTG was. However, there's this other character in the main comic book called Northstar who has silver hair like Quicksilver and has a very similar outfit, and his power is super speed, and he's gay. So, Northstar + Quicksilver = Frederick the Great. Except for Frederick the Great not being a mutant with silver hair and super speed. But I found out that my picture of Frederick is more accurate than I first thought...! I already knew he had blue eyes, but I gave him the hair colour randomly. And, it turns out he really *did* have light brown hair! Score! Frederick the Great freaking r0xX0rZ!!! [! 4/\/\ /_33+]

And on Sunday we went to Schlitterbahn, the best waterpark in America for 1999. ^_^ It was groovy. I got a sunburn but I also bought a pretty dress (it's odd to buy clothes at theme parks but it actually wasn't expensive and I really like it). And THAT is ALL I'M GOING TO TELL YOU about my week. OH!! One mooooore thing!

POKEY HATH RETURNED!!

Oh yeah, and another thing. Dad had a dream that he told us about on the way to Schlitterbahn that amused everyone. In the dream, he saw a cat that only had three legs, but it looked like it only had one, because its back feet never touched the ground, and it freaked him out and he ran away. Then mum coined the phrase "Hovercat" and we all enjoyed ourselves heartily. Also, a few nights before that mum had a dream about freeze-dried kittens that were evil x_x

That really IS all. GO AWAY!!!!
