Stranger on the Bus

[ rakaur on Wed Feb 23 at 07:29 AM // category: eawr, kori, life, relationships, school ]

It seems every time we’re coming home from a Scholar Bowl match, a certain someone sits next to me and tells me her life story. A few bus rides ago she told me she’s interested in me.

This time she said she is, but shouldn’t be, because I like Kayla and it’s “pointless.” Yeah, because you know, my relationship with Kayla is absolutely soaring.

Earlier that day, Kori was very upset, and I had considered calling her to or from the match, so I wrote her number on the back of my hand. Of course, she saw, and asked what it was. Then later in the Kayla conversation she was yelling at me about liking Kori too. It took a solid ten minutes to explain that Kori and I often find each other in similar situations and so became good friends in a short amount of time. Plus, there’s the whole Kori’s-already-in-a-long-term-relationship part of the deal, which she seems to completely ignore.

Nothing against her, she’s nice and all. I don’t want to really take it anywhere because she’s uberreligious and I’m ubernot. She’s the type that gets offended when you say “Jesus” instead of “geeze.” That’d get unbearable after about ten seconds with her.

Come to think of it, I have absolutely no idea why she can stand me at all. I always agitate the religion thing, and she gets mad. I’m never nice to anyone; I’m a giant cock to most people. So, I don’t get the dilly yo. I mentioned some of this to Kori, and she already knew! That’s swell! I love it when people know things about my personal life before I do.

It always gives you that confirmation of control to get you through the day.

So today sucks.

  1. Print shop party for three hours, then out of school.
  2. Not a damn thing all day.
  3. Basketball game, senior night for Scholar Bowl.
  4. Social suicide (see 3).
  5. IHOP (maybe).
  6. Not a damn thing all night.

Woo. Here we go.

Coffee Makes the World Go 'Round

My shirts are going over well. I made two very simple shirt designs in print shop. One’s a sketch of John Lennon with his signature at the bottom, and one’s a rip off of a ThinkGeek shirt (hey, I’m not paying $15 when I can pay $5). A bunch of people want the latter, and a bunch of my father’s friends are ordering the former. I just might make a bit of money for once.

Talked to Kori more last night. We finally touched on the whole “why were we instantly close” thing. Not that it’s a bad thing; I haven’t been this close to anyone since Beth, and that was nearly seven years ago.

I’m debating whether or not I should give her the location of this. I mean, we’re close, and she’s awesome, but I have some pretty pathetic things in this. Post upon post of me whining about not being able to talk to stupid girls. I don’t know, I was pretty emo when I decided to start writing in this thing. She already knows I’m a nutcase, so, I don’t think it really matters.

I only wish we got to talk more. I usually see her for maybe 20 contact minutes at school, and we’re rarely online at the same time. I don’t know why I can talk to her so easily, but hey, I’m not complaining. We just need to do stuff together.

In other news, (oh man this is getting long and tedious) I got used by a girl yesterday! The volleyball team is selling some crap, and one of them asked me if I wanted any. Of course, I said no. Then Kayla asked. Of course, I said yes.

Oh I’m such a sucker.

Mother Nature Blows

[ rakaur on Wed Feb 16 at 06:40 AM // category: eawr, life, running, school ]

Yeah, so it’s nice and awesome outside on the two days I’m completely occupied after school. As soon as our coach wanders off for three days and we have no practice so I could actually go running after school, it turns back into shit. I hate February.

We won both matches last night, by a whole lot. I think the first match was something in the order of 230 to 90. I even contributed! Everyone about shit their pants when I rang in for a literature question. I don’t even remember the question, but it was “British Literature” and he said “Aldos Huxley” and I didn’t hear anything about getting doped up (“The Doors of Perception”) so I could only assume it was “A Brave New World.”

You know I have absolutely nothing to write about when I start talking about what literature questions I answered. I still need to write an essay for my admission to Illinois College. I don’t think it really matters, because I’m not getting in. I’m going to have to go to a stupid state school with eighty billion kids per class.

Maybe I should be doing that.
