Monday, November 23 - Blank

Today I woke up, drove my mom to St. Marks, went back to sleep. Woke up late for lunch with Corbett, didn't realize George was in my house, almost gave him a heart attack. Then went to lunch with Corbett. After lunch I felt like driving around, so I went through Avondale, Riverside, downtown, the industrial area around where TCT is. Drove past Thee Imperial and was reminded of everything I miss from the past few years.

Came home, fell asleep, went to pick up my mom and Liam, saw Mikey, came home and did nothing.

I made plans to hang out with Kevin tonight since I haven't seen him since August, but he didn't answer his phone and that really pissed me off. I really hate when people do that. I was getting over being pissed at him and I went to go hang out with some people. I wasn't sure where I was going and the person I was going to see wouldn't answer their phone when I was on their road so I aimlessly drove around for 20 minutes. So twice tonight someone's inability to answer their phone pissed me off.

In the few days that I have been home, there have been so many things to remind me of everything I have been upset about since last Thanksgiving. Today I got dressed to go to lunch with Corbett and I put on my Bum shirt, black pants, green sweater and black scart with my moccasins. I realized the last time I wore that exact outfit was the last time I went to Wyatt's house. Then today Liam found the Sin City disk I thought was lost. As I was trying to find a dropped earring I instead found the broken end of my pink flower earrings that I wore every day two summers ago. Today I drove past Thee Imperial and I remembered the last time I was there, for the Zeromus show. People not texting back. Guys being dumb. Being home in general. The black sweater I thought I had lost that randomly appeared in my closet yesterday. Even watching the Twilight the other night and having so many of the situations and character traits echo my own experiences. Everything is bringing back memories I would rather not ever deal with again. I have barely thought about it, for one year come January 8, and the past few days everything has made it all come back and I really hate it.

Day 94 - Rob, Inksmith, Heidi Montag, District 9, Little Sister

This morning Rob and I went to lunch (this morning?) at the Loop. As usual. He was going to get a tattoo today, and Eddy was going to do it, although Mike was using the table at Inksmith so we couldn’t. And Rob wanted white ink and Eddy didn’t think Rob fully understood what white ink looks like, but he did. Oh well. We left Inksmith, and went to Starbucks then his apartment. Where we beat each other up and read Heidi Montag’s terrible interview with Spencer in PlayBoy. The pictures were hilarious. I love her, just because I love to hate her so much. They are a weird group.

Once I got home I went with my mom and Liam to Publix, where I was beat up again, this time by Mikey and Liam who tag teamed me in the freezer aisle. I am going to have intense bruises on my arms tomorrow. The one that is already showing is from when I jumped onto Mikey to hug him and my arm hit his nose. Already tender and blue. Oh well.

Tonight I met Christina, my little sister for school. We met up at Starbucks in San Marco and just talked about school and Jacksonville and whatnot. We seem to be really similar and I m excited about this.

After I left San Marco I drove to Tinseltown and met up with Kevin and we saw District 9. I have heard so much about it being one of the most amazing movies ever, but I thought it was just really weird. I didn’t see how it was so amazing. It was alright. Once we left the theater we sat on my car and talked, and laughed at all of the hilariously awkward couples in the parking lot until we realized we were a part of it. There were these two horribly annoying girls running through the parking lot, obviously hiding from someone. They were running and yelling and being really obnoxious. Kevin wanted to shoot them with his paint ball gun. I encouraged him to do so, but he wouldn’t. Finally we realized that they were the third and fourth wheels on their friends date, and turned out it was this girl’s first date with this guy. It was a hilarious situation to watch unfold. We eventually left and got Icee’s. I usually don’t like having more than one Icee flavor at once, but Kevin made the most magical concoction. It was delicious. We went back to the Tinseltown parking lot so he could get his car. We sat there and talked, and we both fell asleep in my car. Not for very long, but it happened. I was exhausted.

Day 74 - Emma, Liam, Corbett, Bayside, Mikey

Today was a busy day, although it didn't feel like it. I woke this morning and worked on cleaning my room for a while, then Emma came and took Liam and I to lunch at Al's. Although when we were walking into Al's, Liam said, "I wonder if Mommy is here yet?" Then I had to tell him that Mommy wasn't meeting us up there, which I never said in the first place, and he lost it. Of course. 9 years old and cried like crazy because Mommy wasnt going to come have lunch with us. It was embarrassing. But Emma made it better because she said she would go across the street to Smoothie King and make him a free smoothie after lunch. That worked.

After lunch I came home, took a shower, and waited for my mom to come back from work. When she got back I drove out to the beach to see the acoustic Bayside show outside at Aqua East. I have never really listened to Bayside, but Corbett was pestering me to go, so I did. It was beautiful weather, and just a bit rainy. There were a lot of people there, and it was a good show. I saw Kevin and a bunch of other people. I was glad I went, even though I wasn't thrilled originally.

I went from Aqua East to Fugi Sushi, and pretty much just sat there for almost two hours with my mom, Liam, Mrs. Haramis and a bunch of other people I really didn't know, all the while starving to death. Then finally it was time for my dinner. I went and picked up Mikey and we went to Dennys. Seriously, I have had Dennys 2 days in a row. I am going to drop dead. Never eating there again. We sat across from the largest woman I have ever seen, and not only did she look like a while, but she was making whale sound effects. It was hilarious.

And now I am home and in bed. Tomorrow I am babysitting Liam again, going to the pool and lunch with Ian. Hoorah.

Day 21 - School Four, Evan, Delicious Panera Sandwich

Today was a very good day. I woke up early and just hung around my house for a little while. I called Jenn to see if she wanted to get lunch but of course I forgot she was at work. I grabbed my favorite sandwich ever from Panera and went to the UPS store to eat there. But it was lunch time so of course it was jam packed, and I ate in my car like a loser. But I just relaxed and enjoyed my sandwich and enjoyed a CD. Hm. Yes. I am a loser.

I picked up Mikey at his house and went to take pictures at School Four, which we have never done before. It was fun, but kind of disappointing. Most of it was fenced off, but there was one little place that I was able to slip into the yard. My digital cameras are both broken, so I was stuck with film and fish eye. I have to get it all developed to see how it turns out. The majority of the time when I use my fish eye lens the film messes up and doesn’t work. I hope some turn out. The city voted last night on he future of Annie Lytle. Apparently there is a good chance that the school will not be standing by the end of the month. I had a good chance to make a difference a few months ago, but of course my inability to finish anything I start got in the way. We will see how all of this pans out.





Tonight I hung out with Evan, a guy I met at that party I went to the other night with Jenn. That was really fun. We went to starbucks and exchanged music, and it was funny to see how similar our iTunes libraries were. We went to a hookah place in Orange Park, and it was nice to have an intelligent conversation with someone, which sadly enough I don’t get to do very often.

Today was a very good day.
