Azrylle's Blurty

Tonight was better than I thought it was going to be. I've been getting homework done, I got to talk to my mom online a bit, and there was some definite bonding in the game room this evening! LoL Okay, so the day started out bad - I was supposed to go to church with Kat, but when I woke up, my back was aching in the place that it's BEEN hurting for a while now. I mean, I was experiencing excrutiating pain in that spot on one of my breaks... my mom tried to massage it out some, but it only helped a little and temporarily at that. Kat did the same the other day, so I figure she'll understand cuz she knew it had been bothering me. I hope. Anyway, then Breigh offered to bring me a plate of food from her grandmother's house for lunch... then she decided I oughtta get out of bed at least for a little while, then stay in bed later. So after Breigh went to church, she came back, picked me up, and we were off to her grandmother's house. She had made chicken and dumplings (YUUUMMM) and I got to take some back to my room, so it's waiting for me in the fridge for tomorrow. Only thing bad was that the grandmother AND one of Breigh's brothers were smoking... I tried not to make any faces while I avoided breathing the smoke as best as I could. I think I did okay, and I made sure to be very kind and thank her for letting me join them and for her wonderful food.

When we got back to Bryan, I read some in Natalie's zoology book, and then I got online and talked to Mom. Then, I went to dinner... and when I came up from the cafeteria, there was a pool table free in the game room. I decided to play a little game against myself - I figure if I keep doing that for a while, I'll get better and not be so ashamed to play in front of others hehehhe. Anyway, so Matt Joss walks in, and asks to play with me. I was like "Dang it" but I let him. THEN, Mark Livesay - NO, he's not the school president's son - came in and was watching us play... I didn't know him except for the fact that I knew his name and could put it with his face... That was it, though. There was another guy, and he transferred here this semester.. I dunno if he's foreign exchange or not... I can't remember his name (I'll have to ask Matt later) but I see him around a lot, and he's nice, funny, and just all-around cool. Anyway, they wanted to play teams, so I figured, what the heck. Since I wasn't going to be playing by myself anymore anyway, there was no harm in it - except that I would be making a fool of myself in front of more people.. people I didn't even know. LoL! Figures. But I ended up on a team with Mark, cuz he's really good at pool, and he was helping me out with a lot of shots. We, of course, won the game, and I actually made some good shots! *gasp* ..so then two girls came in to watch (Kim and Krista) and played the winning team (us). We won again, but then we started losing. But that's okay... Brooks Walker came in and was playing by himself, and we lost a game just as he was starting a new game for himself. I asked if he was planning on playing by himself, but he said he preferred to actually play against someone else. It was so funny though, cuz when he wasn't shooting, he was reading some book on rhetoric for homework. Occasionally he read aloud to me, basically cuz he was making some sense of what he read by saying it back to himself in his own words... Makes sense to me. But yeah, I was learning about ...stuff... while I played. He is hilarious anyway... I love his facial expressions! they keep me amused. But yeah... So I played with him till near the end of our game.. cuz Mark got back into the game at the other table and I told him I still wanted us to be a team. Matt filled in my place at Brooks' table. Brooks was like "yeah OKAY, leave then" but he was gonna too if I didn't! So I felt bad, but maybe I shouldn't have hehehe. I think Brooks cursed me, cuz then I started playing BADLY. Like, worse than usual! We still won the game but not by my doing lol. The girls left cuz they had somewhere to be, and not too long after, Brooks left to finish his homework too. I stayed with Mark and Matt and watched them play a couple games, then I took my leave. I was happy as I left though, cuz I now knew Mark Livesay as more than just.. a name. And he even said goodbye to me - WITH my name! Yes, that's right, he said my name a bunch of times tonight. I know that sounds silly and retarded schoolgirl-ish, but it's not, really. It just means something to me when someone knows my name and actually uses it. It makes me realize that I'm not as invisible, unpopular, and unknown as I think I am sometimes. Just a pick-me-up, that's all. But yeah, so I'm in a good mood now. SO good of a good mood that I think I shall go do some more homework now! And I gotta give Natalie her zoology book back and study fot the quiz tomorrow with her. Crap, she's probably long since out of Kerusso by now! And I'm off! *poof*
