Well, Anthony likes this shirt because it has a snakeskin print and Liz was rubbing my arm to feel the fabric and she was tempted to pull it open because of the buttons. (But didn’t mind you!)

Katy introduced herself to me and we familiarized each other. She complimented my red (spring) jacket today and yesterday she was saying how she liked my hair (& how her and a few others could not grow their hair out) and my shoes (I added that I put in those orange laces and she said they were awesome).

I think I did pretty well on my presentation. Kay loved certain facts, I could tell from her facial expression she thought they were remarkable, as did I. [I also do not have to worry about that project anymore.]

Math was mostly review for me but I shared the laptop with Savannah and I thought it was cool she knew my name. I suppose working with someone was more interesting than doing the activity alone.

I watched North Country

[Personal]

Saturday, October 07, 2006

I got out of the house, which means some variety in my day.

I finished two books.

I bought some things I have needed.

The smirk one of the checkout employees gave when my little brother (who bought toy soldiers) said I could be Iraq or Palestine and he will be the United States.

I did not react badly to the anger directed at people, including myself.

I stayed up late since I did not feel tired and reviewed a bit for the PSAT.

Realizing I do not have school tomorrow! (Extra day to start working on essays. :P)

[Personal]

I cleaned up a bit

Finished one of the essays so far



Wednesday 3 years ago

I got a ride while halfway home on a scorching day. The humble sweetheart told me about her morning predicament and I give her directions to go somewhere.

I watched parts of Undercover Brother which was sweet. Internet is hooked up and my bed is accessible. I saw an intriguing trailer and I wrote notes. I didn’t get caught. I hung out with Anthony.

June 23 & 24th 3 years ago

Friday

  • Good phone conversation in the afternoon with Anthony.
  • Re-read some good articles

Saturday

  • I made Kevin laugh so intensely that he could not breathe properly and squeaked a couple times today.
  • The conversation we had in the afternoon was also pleasant, continuous, and cheerful.

Yesterday,

I flipped over the couch when I was semi-trying to lie on the edge from the back and forgot Shadow (doggie) was lying on the sofa and so hurt him a bit when I tumbled and then I fixed the cushions. Afterward, I went to sit on this one chair (can’t explain, light, campy?) and I crossed my legs on it [indian style] and bended just slightly forward and it flipped over. It is pretty funny to look back on.

[ Personal ]

Cole was telling me about Larry and how he has been acting. Turns out Anthony’s little brother has a crush on me. :P Tis cute.

Today

I woke up singing…OOOOOooooOOooh baby(!), I love your way, everyday. I want to be with you night and day.

I listened to some good songs.

Well, although I hate going to the pool I somehow enjoyed the way my hair was afterward for a bit and I did read a tad. I also rode my brother’s new bike. I hung out with Mendim a little.

I ate the last bit of chocolate left—my favorite company.

I also stumbled upon some art(ists) I like, admire, and appreciate.

Having a conversation with Kevin.

Writing this entry. It makes me happy and makes me realize that so many positive things happen but I just fail to notice until I think about it and actually try typing them out and thinking of them.



Sunday & Monday 3 years ago

On Sunday I watched a movie, hung out with relatives for a tiny bit, and watched some World Cup games (Monday morning as well). My team(s) are doing well.

Anthony called me as soon as he got home and we talked for a while. The dream he had recently was sweet.

I talked to my aunt a bit and my dad as well.
Seeing a bunch of motorcycles on Sunday.
I played with my youngest cousin.
I feasted.



Lo siento, 3 years ago

June 11

Hanging out with my friends. They dragged a log into the river to make a bridge and that was the first day I rode on pegs [did it twice]. Now, I can so well and did the other day while holding a basketball on rugged terrian.

Monday through Wednesday

I spent time with Anthony on all of these days.
Once with my brothers there as well.
I proved something. :]
[ personal ] !!

Friday

I finished books and started the other one.

Today

Kevin got so exuberant at one point today and in a loving mood. It was nice to see him happy again.



To be continued... 3 years ago

June 6th

Hugs.
I got more books to read.
Things worked out even though I woke up late.

When I was walking in the hallway Josh commented on my glasses. He had never seen me in them before and said how they actually looked good (on me).

I dropped some things when I was at my locker and this guy started picking them up. I was surprised since I appreciate little things like that so much but I’m not used to it. I was embarrassed as well. when I was thinking about this incident afterward I realized…I forgot to thank him [I think] even though I was so grateful and I hope he doesn’t resent me for that. I didn’t even really see his face.

June 7th

I suppose bus rides… Since A. called me over and such for the morning one and Aaron asked me if I was going on it in the afternoon.

Even though there is only a first place and the rest are just the ones that didn’t win. I was technically second place at the word war [vocabulary competition] but i was glad she won because she studied and I did not. it was good because I got to miss classes [I needed to skip one of them…]. A bunch of people were congratulating me for getting so far and even some people who didn’t know me.

June 8th

Happy Birthday, Kevin.Hopefully, it will get better.

I watched a movie by Madison Productions that was a funny stoner movie that you are just suppose to enjoy called Grandma’s Boy.



Weekend. 3 years ago

June 3rd

Good phone conversation
Exercised—walked for a while

June 4th

I listened to music—my dad actually recognized certain singers that are unheard of in my book.

I got up early because I felt rested and awake
I finished my other project this morning
Interesting people



Lately, 3 years ago

I was the first person to wish my dad a happy birthday.

Passed my math final! [As well as the other finals but math is my weakest subject. We have a bad history—which is my best subject. Strange…]

A while ago I had to draw things for some project and I put a lot of work into my “original” art. Kevin likes my drawings for some reason. So, I started to draw some other things I saw and this girl complimented as well. I didn’t understand why people like it though. However, I continued and drew some other things and my sister liked it too.

I watched some interesting shows on the science channel and even discovery times. [I know, I know, I rarely watch TV and when I do it’s pretty dorky-nerdy stuff.]

I enjoyed the battleground: art of war episode on Alexander the Great ♥, that is still such a remarkable battle to me [against the Persians].

I was getting all teary-eyed when that guy and when the little girl both came close to death because of poisonous bites.

Even if I don’t make all the right decisions at least I am trying to see things clearly…right?

Fabi mentioned twice how much she liked my gym shorts.

When we all of us were walking, Josh randomly just hugged me from the side. :] Julian also hugged me tightly a couple times.

I got a favorite shirt of mine back.



May 28th 3 years ago

This.

Progress on the book—I’m a third of the way through.

Talking to Kevin that means the resolution after our dispute, the relentless love I have for the man, and the incredible intimacy we have created over the years.
