A few things have happened since last posting. I underwent several flip-flops of mood, becoming alternately depressed and ecstatic. Now I'm in a constant state of cynicism. I went on a date with the guy who asked me last time and who I turned down. We saw "American Beauty". It was an excellent movie. Then we drove around for an hour like the hooligans we are. Then he took me home and we stood on the front porch about half a minute saying nothing. Finally, as I turned to go, he called my name. I turned around and he kissed me. About five seconds later, I heard my mom unlcking the door and had to break it off. I'm very disappointed about that; I wanted to finish that kiss. However, he asked me out again for this Saturday, so perhaps it can be finished then. Oh, and I just remembered something funny. My dad was informed of my date, and yesterday, he stoped by our house and gave me lessons on how to repel a boy. Needless to say, this made me feel very stupid and uncomfortable and probably contributed greatly to the feelings of cynicism and sarcasm I am currently in the midst of. So, have a lovely day all, and I will see if I can't write again within a humane time period.

Well, I didn't get to go on my date. Damn. I also wrecked my stepdad's car. Double damn. Sigh. C'est la vie.

So, I have a date this weekend. I get to watch "weird" movies with someone I do not know very well. Am I excited? You bet your buttons I am!

The first significant thing to happen for some time happened today: I went back to school. I shall begin at the beginning. I was very nervous. Very. I love Palmer and feel bad about leaving and going to a school that sucks. I had to walk to school today and I felt like such a fruit you would not imagine. Once I got to school, however, things started looking up. I found my locker quickly, which is incredible, given that I had no prior knowledge of the nomenclature of the lockers. Then I went to psychology. The teacher was not yet there, so I chatted with a girl in the hall who was waiting as well. She seemed nice enough. She is in several of my classes, so it would be expedient to make friendly with her. Then I had a period off which I spent in the library reading Vonnegut and browsing through the library's selection of books. It's a pretty nice little library. Then I had English. My teacher is a 30ish man who seems nice but strict. I feel dreadfully behind in that class, due to the fact that everyone was supposed to have read "Crime and Punishment" over the summer but I did not. Plus, English is a difficult class for me. Then came history, in which I also felt dreadfully behind, but I have a cool teacher and a cute guy who is also in psych and english with me sat next to me and made small talk. He seems very cool; I would enjoy getting to know him better. Then I had physics. I have a nice teacher again. The class is very small, under twenty students. Four girls. I had to find a lab group today and refused to be with the other girls, so I sat down with the cutest group of boys. Unfortunately, I feel this was probably the wrong decision, seeing as they are a group of close friends and so only screwed around all period. Plus, no one likes some chick to come intruding. Then was lunch, which is always the hardest thing to get used to in a new school. I went to the cafeteria, but I had no idea how and where to get what and also had no friends and no idea where I should be sitting, I skipped lunch and went back to the library. Where, lo! the cute guy from my other classes sat at the desk next to me and we spoke again. He asked what I was reading and if he could borrow my calculator. Then came math, in which I am so f*****g lost it isn't even funny, and then German, in which I am (finally!) somewhat ahead of the class. Then, last period, I had dance. I was amazingly self-confident in this class. I shocked myself. We basically got assigned someone to interview and then they in turn would interview us. The girl I talked to is a cheerleader, and somewhat not my style, but she was very nice and not snotty, and we talked about music for a little while. Although we have differing tastes, we share certain principles. Such as, we both believe that a person should listen to lots of types of music, and not just listen to music because it is popular at the moment. Then I walked home, got so hot in the process that I took of my shirt when safe inside, and came down to the basement to write this. Then you read it.

Today was the second session of driving school. It was very cool. I love driving. I suck at reversing, though. I can't see the stupid cones out of the back window. We had an instructer who looked to be in his early twenties. He had a funny looking beard-thing. I'm not quite sure exactly why it looked funny, but I think it needed trimming. He was nice, anyway. He asked me what kind of music I like. And he told me about how much he liked to go around corners at 45 mph and throw his parking brake on when it's icy to force himself into a spin. Which obviously shows how good a driver he is. If he weren't, he'd be dead. Anyway. Um. Gosh, now our conversation has gotten all awkward, hasn't it? Usually I just suggest making out at this point, but somehow, I don't think that's going to work. Perhaps we'll just see each other later. ::tenative smile:: So, bye.
