makes fun of you as you leave
Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Much love goes out to all.
I’ve been very, very, very busy lately and have had zero desire to update, so I simply haven’t. And I’m still really not liking the long process of using Homestead…so yeah. And please forgive me if I forget to mention something important; I’m trying to cram a week’s worth of stuff in this update.
Well last Saturday was good. I went over to Raj’s place again with the group and this time we watched About A Boy. Just the greatest movie, and they loved it too. Great conversation and commentary.
Sunday was good. Went just fine.
Monday I woke to a 2 hour delay for school but had already gotten ready so I just got online and talked to Rachel who was also watching the closings and delays on tv. We fervently continued to wait for BedCo to announce it’s closing but no luck. Again and again we raced to the teles only to find out that it was stil on a 2 hour delay. Then at the last second, 9:00, they closed BedCo. So that was good.
Tuesday night was the Chili Olympiad at FMS. The jazz band played along with Savory and New Age Vikings. All went well and was worth it. Immediately following I had a basketball game. We won 50-42. Good game for me.
Wednesday was the Gov trip to Richmond. The ride was pretty good. We ‘watched’ some totally very bad politically related movies on the rides but they were so not even worth paying attention to. The trip itself was fantastic. I simply loved the House of Delegates and watching them vote which completely fascinated me. The bustle of that arena is just incredible. The Supreme Court was ok. I did find one appeal interesting; it was about a plaintaff who argued that his client should have been the awarded party in a case over the liability of untended property, specifically when a neighbor slipped and seriously hurt himself on his neighbor’s sidewalk due to ice that the neighbor had not cleaned off. One judge said he didn’t really have anything to fight against because he said it’s like "cleaning my property for the safety of my trespassers." Even better was Danny’s synopsis of the court: "the first judge questions everything, the second judge questions the important stuff, and the third judge makes fun of you as you leave." Good trip.
Thursday was another great basketball game. Very tense game and good competition. Went into overtime where we suddenly came out of the closet and dominated. We won 64-59.
Now it’s Friday night, late night, and I’m getting back home from a good evening. I had no other plans and so didn’t Allison so we went to see Drumline and then went to the Sundae Grill. I was hoping the movie would be good since it was sold out several times. But it beyond sucked. Like I seriously can’t tell you how much that movie is suck-worthy. It’s supposed to be a marching band movie but it’s soooo far from being like a marching band. And the big event that supposed to be all suspenseful at the end is the BET Big Southern Classic. That’s right, and all the bands play hip-hop and rap music. It was so stupid. When marching band goes wrong. 1.0 out of 10. But besides that attrocity of film, I think Allison and I had some good conversations about life whatever not.
Oh and I am now going to prom. I had deliberated myself not to on the basis of not having almost any fun last year and I just didn’t want to have to deal with the pleasantries this year. But I had thought about it (and I’m sure someone else thought about it too) and now I have a prom date. Her name is Kim
