Today is over, thank goodness... Actually, I'm not glad that the post-class part is over... I'm just glad the week is over cuz it SUCKED. UGH. Anyway, so after classes were over, I went to dinner and then back to my room for open dorm. Dude, okay, so I went into Amy's room and watched
O Brother, Where Art Thou? with her, Eddie, Mike, Sarah, Christina, and Aaron. Then Kat showed up and we decided to go to Walmart... Ben Perry decided to go with us per our request, then we actually convinced Brooks to come with us too! Brooks and Ben were eager to get out of the car when we got there, so they ran across the parking lot to this super-uber-steep hill by Walmart... As they were climbing, some dude came out of the building and started yelling at them to get down from there. Kat and I started laughing so hard!! - and we definitely retreated into Walmart as fast as our legs could take us... and still laughing of course. I think the laughter lasted for like 5 minutes straight! Oh man, it hurt!! LoL But yeah, so then Brooks was teasing me all through that stupid store and it was really starting to get on my nerves. I voiced my anger as we drove toward our next (and might I add unknown) destination - Brooks was guiding us there with his stunning intellect. HAH. So anyway, we drove a long time, and all the while we talked about various crap. At one point, Kat brought up the Tennessee-Wesleyan soccer game from last semester and how those guys on the baseball team that were standing near us started making fun of us. I started telling the story: We totally were not saying anything to the stupid guys - just cheering on our players - and they started mocking us... like my nose. They were like "Look at that nose! Man, how big is that thing???" and Kat had replied "bigger than your... [she trailed off]" When I said the thing about the nose, I heard Brooks saying "what? you don't have a big nose" in the background, and I couldn't help thinking, whoa, man, SOMEbody needs glasses!!
Anyway, the drive continued, and eventually, we ended up at this dead end road running right into a ramp leading into the Tennessee River (I think that was the name of it). The place was so beautiful! There was very little ambient light, so the stars were so clear to be seen, and the moon was breathtakingly bright - the light from it was sparkling on the barely rippling waters... Whoa, I'm going all poetic up in this piece! LoL, what can I say? I've been feeling poetic all night... as usual! The moment I saw this place, and when the realization that Brooks had shown us this, I had this whole new respect for Brooks, despite his constant teasing. But yeah, so we climbed down some rocks next to the side of the road and were wandering around the sandy ground that extended into the water a long way out. We were freezing to death, but I didn't care, cuz I was just wandering around, staring up in wonder at the night sky. Eventually, I parted from the rest of the group and walked back toward the ramp so I could climb on the rocks and see the sights over there. Brooks slowly followed behind, while Kat and Ben stayed closer to water's edge. Eventually, he got over to where I was, and he called me over. I was thinking "uh oh..." but then he said this: "Yeah I don't know what I said in Walmart to make you upset, but I'm really sorry about it." And of course, I told him it was fine - after all, never let a boy know they hurt you! Then - cuz apparently he wasn't done yet - he was like "...and also, don't take this the wrong way or anything, but..." And at that moment I was like "oh crap, here we go..." BUT then he continued with "...I think you're a very attractive girl." Good thing it was dark, cuz I dunno WHAT the crap my face did at that moment - I don't want him to know either! BUT all I could think to say in my most articulate hour was "well, thank you." and when he still kind of paused uncomfortably, I just said "thank you" again in a disarming tone to make him feel better and then I started walking off toward the ramp again. He was like "wait, you're not gonna leave me here, feeling all dejected-like...." or something like that - I don't remember everything so well when I'm kind of blindsided and FREAKING COLD. But yeah, so I turned around and walked back to him and was like "oh, okay, I won't leave you then" or, again, something like that. So then we were just kind of moseying around and he started throwing rocks in the water and yelling "help, help! oh no! Sherry fell in!" I'm not sure how much Kat and Ben heard but yeah... that was ... special. So I was playing along a little, kind of screaming or whatever. Hehe. After a while of wandering about under the stars, the guys got cold and flocked to the car. Kat and I remained outside and danced around, singing whatever songs we could think of, even if we only knew like three words to the song. Good times. I think we were out there for like an hour, and when we decided not to torment the guys any longer, we went back to the car, only to find the two of them eating all of Kat's cheese puffs and fogging up the windows while they relaxed in the now-obnoxiously-reclined front seats. We rolled our eyes and made them move, and so we were off. Back to school *sigh*.
So now I'm here. And I really wish that it wasn't over. I know for sure, now, that he has someone because of a comment I made earlier at Walmart. I mentioned in passing that I hate Valentine's Day, and he said something along the lines of "me too" but then I was like, "well, at least you have somebody" and I'm not quite sure exactly what he said in response, cuz he totally mumbled it but... It sounded something like "well, not quite in the way I'd like it." I dunno. I figure he was talking about the whole dad-won't-let-girl-date-him thing I heard about from Christina. Oh well. I guess no one really knows what the future holds, so I really needn't be mulling over it so... after all, "que sera sera... whatever will be will be... the future's not ours to see... que sera sera." Let's just see if I can actually get asked to the sheer agony of-- I mean, the Valentine's banquet... ¬¬ ... yeah so anyway..... If I don't get asked, I'm totally renting some horrendously violent movie and watching it, and totally replaying all the extra-gory scenes like ten times each, JUST out of spite for my cruel fate. Friday the 13th, huh? Maybe I should just rent the MOVIE
Friday the 13th! Yes, I am a genius! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! EEEEEVIL GENIUS!!!!! ... okay, so maybe not so much... LoL. Anyway, I think that's all I have to say about tonight AND the future - for now. If I think of anything else, naturally I shall come back straight away to relieve myself of such thoughts by putting them here. But for now, I'm off to bed. So.... tired.... and I'm actually being expected to get up in time for stupid brunch! I dunno why the crap, on the ONLY day that pretty much everyone gets to sleep in, they make "lunch" end so early! WHY
BRUNCH ON A SATURDAY?!?!?!?! -- ahem, as you can see, I'm rather passionate about that subject... but enough about that, it's bedtime!! Nitey nite, all.
