So I am sitting in the Five Points Theater right now, seeing Sherlock Holmes for the third time and i feel like any second now Rob is going to slap me upside the head and tell me to pay attention or to drink my beer. When the beer next to me is horrid and I'd like to pretend it's not sitting there. This post is going to have a slew of typos as I am sitting in the theater and typing fast and barely looking at the keyboard.
Anyways, since I last posted I have come home and been home for about a week. My drive home was horrid. I left on Friday right after an exam instead of leaving Saturday and staying at Britt's for a night or so. I ended up driving through my blizzard on my way to South Carolina. Driving through it was a horrible idea. I wish I would be exaggerating when I say that I am shocked I made it alive. First, there was the weather. Snow and ice everywhere, and all of the cars. It was a nightmare. Second, I hadn't slept on three days. I was not only falling asleep at the wheel, but hallucinating. I spent a good twenty miles convinced the car in front of me was Frankenstein running away from me.
I got home last Saturday and just slept, I think. I can't really remember what I did in the next dew days besides Christmas shopping out the wazoo.
Jenn came home on Wednesday I think and that night we went to Square One, where I think I met my future husband. Although I didn't get his name or anything. He was an art dealer and an iPhone app developer. So he said. Jenn and I had a jolly time at Square One and hung out for a while after.
Thursday was Christmas Eve. I went to my dads and met Kathleen's entire family. My new step sister is like 40. The whole night was horrible. No one would talk to me. Every time I got settled in a room everyone would leave. My step sister's husband was a dick. And I got the ugliest Christmas gifts ever. My dad and Kathleen got everyone PJs to wear for Christmas and mine were hot pink with frogs. Seriously?! My dad and uncle Tim got blue plaid PJs. I want those. It was nice to have Tim and Peg there, since I haven't seen them in about eight years. Tim is hilarious and we have the same sense of humor so we get along well. It was fun to see him interact with the new family because they didn't know how to react to anything he would say. And he's always drunk, in a non-alcoholic way, so that's a plus.
Christmas day was very good, after I left my dads and got home. I got lots of clothes and books and gift arcs for Saks, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdales worth $1500 so I can do some damage with those. That night Corbett and I went to see Sherlock Holmes, my first time. It was amazing. And now, watching it for the third time, it's still amazing.
The day after Christmas we thought it would be a good idea to go shopping at the town center, and we were wrong. It was swamped. Worse than black Friday. I saw a bunch of people from EHS and just ran off and avoided talking to any of them, aside from Kristin Otterson.
That night Jenn and I went to Kickbacks and the old man that's always there came over and gave us out menus and it was hilarious and adorable. After Kickbacks we got ready to go to TSI, then went to Adams for a bit. We hung out around TSI, I peed in a alley behind a dumpster then we went inside. This was Saturday and it was dead. We were in the front dancing for a bit when Jenn got on stage to explore and found an ice cold, unopened 20oz PBR. Naturally I slipped it under my super stylish sweatshirt I was wearing an boogied off and we drank it in the bathroom. Good god I can't wait until I'm 21. We left TSI and went to the Casbah with Corbett for a bit, then to Shanty Town where not much was going on since it was about these in the morning.
Last night Jenn and I had dinner at Kickbacks where we saw MC and ge bought us dinner. Our dear Ron Burgundy rubbed my back lovingly while taking our orders, making me feel loved and safe with his adorable father-like presence. After we left Kickbacks we rode our bikes around Riverside and saw Sherlock Holmes. After getting coffee and bile lights and sitting at Starbucks for a while we went back to Kickbacks for dessert, then home.
Today I just ran errands, and had dinner with Rob at the Loop. Then we went to O'Brothers for some drinks before coming to the theater.
Time to actually watch the movie and drink this heinous beer. Woo.

Saturday, November 22 - Jacksonville, Finally
So I am cheating and writing this at 5:00 pm on Sunday....
Friday I flew into Jacksonville and my mom and Liam surprised me at the airport. Usually they just drive up and get me at the curb, and it was nice for them to come inside and surprise me. We met up with Granny and Marsha at Maggiano's for dinner, but beforehand I ran over to Apple to see Rob. I called him when I got into the store and he was in the back. I told him I was standing there and he literally squaled then two seconds later the door to the BOH flew open and there he was. Then he actually hugged me, which is very odd Rob behavior. Then I hopped about while he tied my shoes and we walked ver to Maggiano's and he said hello to everyone. After he left Marsha and Granny kept talking about "how handsome Rob has gotten." Something about him changed, bu none of us could figure it out.
We had a delicious dinner at Maggiano's then I came home and Rob retrieved me. We went to Kickbacks, and the moment that I walked in I realized how glad I was to be home. I lived at Kickbacks over the summer and it was very nice to be back, even though it was a swamped Friday night at 11:00. Colton walked over and hung out with us for a bit. He was going to hang out longer but he had work in the morning. Last I heard, he was unemployed and searching for a job. Rob knew this and asked where he was working. Colton's reply was "Well I have a very part time job at a awn service." And it was hilarious, the way most things that come out of Colton's mouth are. I think it was the "very part time" bit that had us laughing so hard.
Yesterday morning I woke up early and went to Liam's football game. Serious, kid is such a little wuss. Watching him practice beforehand he never caught the ball or even tried. It was hilarious yet endearing. After that was Liam's footbal team's team party at Lillians.
I came home and got in bed before going to the fair with Rob, and next thing I know it was 6:00 and Rob was on his way to come get me. Gah. I need sleeeeep. Apparently that fair at Town Centre was lame so we didn;t bother going, and went to dinner at the Loop instead. After we ate we went to Publix to get crumb cake mix and bake, but when we were standing in the aisle looking at the selection of crumb cake mix we realized that nothing good ever comes out of us baking. Instead we went back to his apartment, saw Clay and his girlfriend, sneakily loaded my to go cup from the Loop with whiskey, and we walked to O'Brothers. When we got there Dave and James were already there, and I realized just how much I love hanging out with James. He is beyond adorable.
The usual beating ensued, and James was there to take pictures. I already can feel the bruises showing up on my side and arms. Oh well. At one point when Rob had stolen my phone and I was trying to get it back from him and he was smacking me I heard Dave say, "I though I had some pretty fucked up relationships, but this is a whole new level of fucked up." And that is the truth. James and Rob both got a hold of Allison's number from my pon and were texting her dirty things and James was trying to get her to have a foursome, as long as she brought 2 guys. It didn't take her long to realize that she was being hit on by two incredibly gay boys.
O'Brothers was lots of fun, mainly since we were sampling different kinds of crazy shots for them to have at some girl's birthday party. As a result of these shots, Rob and I both got far more drunk than intended, and I ended up sleeping on his air mattress. Well, very little sleep occurred since I was up all night, freezing cold and the mattress was deflating. No fun. This is my Twitter deef from last night:
-@omgitsrob RT @Nanooboy Bf requirement #7: cuddle up and watch the S Club movie while falling asleep. HA!!
-@omgitsrob the bed deflated a lot and i'm freezing cold.
-@omgitsrob I've been up. Like all night
-Sleeping on @omgitsrob's air mattress tonight due to poor life choices.
-RT @omgitsrob Hello obrothers. Youcnake me too drunk too quick.
Last night I retweeted something that @Nanooboy, Andy from the original 5AG said about S Club 7, since it made me think of a conversation that Rob and I had yesterday. Then this morning I woke up to an email saying that he is now following me on Twitter. I get on Twitter, and I see this:
"Nanooboy: started following 2 people simply because I found their @ replies to each other about an airmatress entertaing. There was a even a twitpic!!"
Oh holy god. That is amazing. I texted Lauren and she was in awe as well. Made my morninng.
The rest of today will be part of tonight's blog.

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 73 - Trickery, Rob, Kevin
I woke up this morning to trickery. My phone rang, waking me up, and I saw it was my dad. "Come over we are making chocolate fondue!" Alright, how am I supposed to pass that one up? I scurried on over there, and then as I am pulling in I see it: Kathleen's car in the driveway. So I was tricked into spending the morning with her. Great.
Rob and I went to the Loop for lunch. Then he got a ca rwash. That's pretty much all we do anymore. It's getting pretty pathetic. We need to actually do something soon.
Tonight I finally saw Harry Potter. Kevin took me to see that, and it was really good. I am sick of everyone saying it was really bad because it didn't follow the book. But really, if he movies were going to follow the books, the movies would be 10 hours long. I really liked it. Afterwards, we went to Dennys and I had delicious french toast. Then we drove out to the beach to walk on the beach for a while. I have never really hung out with Kevin, but it was a lot of fun, and really nice. He is a sweet guy and really easy to talk to. As we were walking, we kept seeing huge black blobs running across the sand, but we couldn't tell what they were. A bit later, we passed a couple walking in the opposite direction, chasing one of the blobs and taking pictures. They were armadillos. WHY were there armadillos at the beach? and in the water? It was crazy. We walked from the plaza, down under neath the pier and well past the pier. I think we walked for about two hours. Then when we were walking back, we lost the car. Of course neither of us payed attention to which street we parked on, so we walked for what felt like another hour before we found his car again. Tonight was a very good adventure.

Day 67 - Naps, Town Center, Kickbacks, HDD Frustration
This morning Jenn and I woke up and ate some Reeses for breakfast (!!!). Then she went home, and we made plans to go to the town center this afternoon. But you see the thing is, I was up until 5. And I fell back asleep. Until like, 5. So today was completely wasted. I ended up meeting Jenn at the town center once she left the doctor, and we walked around for a bit. I bought a new hard drive, since my old one is piece of crap. Jenn had plans to hang out with Mike, so I made plans to go to Rob's when I saw him at the Apple store.
I went home, grabbed my computer and old hard drive and went over to Rob and Clay's where we tried to salvage my hard drive. It ended up being the most frustrating thing ever. In the midst of all of it, we went to Kickbacks to get some dinner. I have realized that Twitter is far too present in my life, and that was just confirmed tonight. These thtree tweets were posted at the same tonight, without anyone mentioning that they were tweeting it:
kgoreee: Kickbacks with @omgitsrob and @clayhackett
omgitsrob: At kickbacks with @clayhackett and @kgoreee
clayhackett: At Kickbacks with @kgoreee, @omgitsrob, and @ashitloadofpeopleidontknow.
We all realized what happened, and it was awkward.
The Rob-and-Kate-isms were out in full force tonight. Hitting each other, dtealing each ther's silverwere, cracking my liscense in 2, and mixing his gross dinner into my pasta. I have always wondered what we look like to other people, and as we were leaving Jenn's friend Britney was sitting right across and had seen me. Great. That was funny.
I left Rob and Clay's shortly after getting back from Kickbacks. Clay was stumpted as to what was going on with my hard drives, so i just gave up. Currently it is 5 AM and I have just finished repairing my iTunes library, with some help from Luck. I am exhausted. this is two nights in a row I have been up until 5 AM.

Day 45 - Stressful Errand Day
This morning I woke up and went to lunch with Rob. Eh. Yes. Woke up then lunch. I went to his and Clay’s new apartment building in Riverside for the first time. I parked and got out of the car and looked up, and MC was creeping from above. We yelled back and forth for a minute, although I had no idea what he was saying. I can’t understand him even when he is standing right next to me. Too Asian. Rob and Clay’s new place is really nice. I had never been in those building before but I really liked it. I know a few other people that live over there. We went to the Loop for lunch, then his old house where I had a package waiting, because I am dumb and shipped it there instead of my own house. I don’t know how that happened.
This afternoon was ridiculously stressful. Granny had to go to the ER since she has a fever and whatnot and I went to get Liam so he wouldn’t have to stay there. We came home and I put together my new camera and then went to Best Buy to pick up Jenn. Then we went to Jiffy Lube so that I could get my oil changed. That took forever and it was gross there. Jenn was crazy today. Running on only 4 hours of sleep and excitement on top of that. Omg. Hyper. We went to Crispers for lunch then to Target so that I could get film and a case for my new camera then to GameStop. That was an experience. Apparently Jenn has never played a GameBoy in her entire life. So she stood there playing GameBoy and Liam tried to pick out games to exchange. This was at 4:30ish, and I still had to drive back to Fort Lauderdale. I was not pleased. By the time we finally left I had to scurry home and get packed and leave. I did not want t leave. I am exhausted and I don’t want to face another week of work. Thank god I am half way through though.

Day 30 - Colton, Rob, Dad, Ponte Vedra
Today was nice. I slept in until about 10, and woke up planning on doing A Day in My Life since I got my new camera the other day. But that fizzled pretty quickly. Mommy made me my favorite breakfast of Sister Schubert’s rolls, and then I took a shower. I rode my bike over to my dad’s and Colton met me there to mow his lawn. My dad ended up giving Colton more work to do later in the week. Colton and I were supposed to go to the beach today but it rained, of course, s we just hung out in Riverside and at his house. My dad still calls him “Carlton.” I corrected him when Colton was outside, and my dad just said “His parents named him wrong,” then kept calling him Carlton, although he knew it was wrong. It was funny. Colton is hoping to get a job at TCT so today was good all around for him. Afterwards we went back to his house so he could change since it started raining while he was mowing, then we went to see Emma at Smoothie King to grab some free smoothies. We went to Riverside Park and saw some guy on a bike get pegged in the face with a soccer ball. It was hilarious. He flew off his bike and just layed there. Then he stayed at the park, and kept riding around. I would have been so embarrassed and left if that had happened to me.
Colton and I went back to his house and watched TV ad talked to his roommate Reeder then he drove me out to Sawgrass. It was nice hanging out with him again like it was old days again. It was nice. I had dinner at Marsha’s then went out with Rob and his friend James. We went to Biscotti’s and had some cake. I am falling asleep right now really bad so I think I am going to leave this as another really lame entry. No Internet, even though I am at home. I can’t figure out what is wrong with it. And Evan just told me the new Augury CD has leaked and I can’t download it. Not thrilled. Psych time.
I want a wall like this.

Day 22 - Shopping, Charlie Bartlett
My mom and I finished shopping for work clothes today. Well, we tried to. We went to the town center and braved the rain and got a few more things. I just have no shoes. I have plenty of sandals, just no flats or anything. But I cant wear flats because my feet are so messed up. So I need to figure out all of that. I went to Express today, and I usually just ignore that the store even exists. But today we went in just to look, and we had possibly the most annoying sales girl ever. I kept telling her I was looking for clothes for a job in a business setting, and she kept pulling out the sluttiest clothes. And her voice… oh my god it hurt to listen to her. Granted, she was very sweet, but it was really annoying.
I went by the gallery today and picked up my very first commission check. $75. Whoo. Not very much, but it is still exciting to be paid for something I love to do. I worked on packing and everything tonight, since I leave on Sunday afternoon. I already have a flight home for next weekend. Thank god. I am excited to start work, but I am not ready to leave Jacksonville. I feel like my summer will be over.
Tonight Rob and I took part in National Doughnut day by going to Krispy Kreme, as always. We weather tonight was amazing. We drove with the windows down and good music playing. The moon was reflecting perfectly on the river. We sat on Robs back porch, listened to music, wrote in The Book and chucked it back and forth. I began the ngiht with it, and somehow I ended the night with it till in my possession. Not sure how the happened. We came back to my house and watched Charlie Bartlett, and I am still watching it. He has work super in the morning and bailed on me for the rest of it and High School throwback time with some Guitar Hero.
Tomorrow is going to be jam packed with packing and riding bikes to the art market and what not. Last full day at home.
(407): in the event that i am dead, my body is laying in the intersection of ... the pearl in springfield. it was my friend's 21st but i think i'm dead. wearing a black top. like i said, probably dead.

I am excited to start work, but I am not ready to leave Jacksonville. I feel like my summer will be over.
Tonight Rob and I took part in National Doughnut day by going to Krispy Kreme, as always. We weather tonight was amazing. We drove with the windows down and good music playing. The moon was reflecting perfectly on the river. We sat on Robs back porch, listened to music, wrote in The Book and chucked it back and forth. I began the ngiht with it, and somehow I ended the night with it till in my possession. Not sure how the happened. We came back to my house and watched Charlie Bartlett, and I am still watching it. He has work super in the morning and bailed on me for the rest of it and High School throwback time with some Guitar Hero.
Tomorrow is going to be jam packed with packing and riding bikes to the art market and what not. Last full day at home.

Day 16 - Art Market, Outlets, Augusten Burroughs
My mom and I were going to ride our bikes to the art market in Riverside today, but my aunt and grandmother came over to go so we didn’t get a chance to do that today. I went to my dad’s though to get my bike back, and barely spoke to him while I was there. I am still livid with him. I don’t plan speaking to him for a while. But that probably wont work out. Marsha, my mom and I went to the art market, and I was really disappointed. I went once when I was home in March or early April, and it was the second week of the market being open. Then it had a lot of art, and little tents for a bunch of different local galleries. But today it was all food and clothes and regular vendors. There were a couple of cool artists though. There was one I fell in love with. His name was Schallenberg, I think. All his work was really textured and abstract, kind of like a really 3D Pollock.
Afterwards my mom and I went to the outlets to get work clothes. I am not too fond of this people work clothes and I just don’t mix. I don’t have a very feminine style and everything is skirts and blouses and slacks. I hate slacks more than anything. I cant even wear normal jeans. F I can feel fabric flapping around my ankles, even in the slightest, I cant stand it. I have been wearing skinny jeans for far too long to ever go back to normal pants. Also, the people that shop at the outlets are… interesting. You get such a range. While we were in J. Crew everyone was normal, and dressed cute. But then we walk outside and first thing I see is a woman in a huge grey shirt, red, ill fitting sweat pants, and carrying a child haphazardly on one hip and smoking a cigarette. Can we say classy?
Rob met us at Marsha’s house to fix up her internet and then went to dinner at Barbara Jean’s. every time I go there I think, “OK, lets be open about this, maybe I will like it this time.” Nope. I still don’t. The fries are delicious, but I don’t like anything else. The majority of their menu is sea food, and I don’t eat sea food so I am kind of screwed there.
Finally I am getting my iPod to work. It is too small for all of my music, so I have to pick and choose what I want on here. I went through and put everything on it that I would like to listen to driving up and down between Miami and Jacksonville, and it was only about 2,700 songs, which is about a third of my iTunes library. I miss my iPod, and I am excited to have it back.
I am riding my bike to the Fox tomorrow morning for breakfast with my Mom. I may die, for reals. I am so out of shape, which hopefully will change this summer. I haven’t ridden my bike in so long, aside from between my mom’s and dad’s today. And even that was kind of painful. My mom and I watched a bit of Running With Scissors tonight. Earlier we listened to some of an Augusten Burroughs audio book while driving out to St. Augustine and that got me in the mood to watch that movie. I forgot how weird it is, and now I just really want to watch the Royal Tenenbaums. I haven’t seen that in a really long time.
I am falling asleep while typing this and I have to be fairly soon to go to the Fox. Although this is a video from Davey Dance Blog, where he goes to historic locations, picks a song, and dances. The song he used in this video is one of my favorite songs, and it was the finale of the CollegeHumor all nighter this year.
I didn't talk to a certain someone at all today. Ugh "/ Going to Miami is bad luck, I swear.

Day 13 - Jason, Rob, Adventures
The weather has been getting a lot better lately. Today I took full advantage and went to the beach with Jason. Watched him surf for a bit and just walked around. This evening was the Village dance recital. I wanted to go, but I stayed back with Liam instead. They did a piece just for Allison in the beginning, which was apparently really sweet.
I love how when I am typing “Sweet” into Word it auto corrects to Sweet Briar College. Jason saw the Sweet Briar sticker on my car today and wouldn’t stop making fun of the name. Granted, it is a sort of silly name for a school. And it sounds so girly. Sweet Briar. Pfft.
I found out today that I don’t have to go to Miami for another week. I am so excited about that. I still haven’t unpacked from school, and I don’t feel like I have had very much time getting everything together to head down there. I am glad I have more time to sort everything out. Tomorrow I am supposed to get some stuff from Tenet to complete, like a drug screening and what not.
Tonight Rob and I went to sonic, like old times, and then just drove around trying to figure out what to do. In what he said was our greatest adventure in the last 2 years, we drove though Riverside and Avondale and ended up at the park at Stockton. We recoded a video from Sonic that perfectly shows our relationship. Some people act differently when they are being recorded, but sadly enough this is exactly how Rob and I are. He hit me enough today to leave some intense bruises I’m predicting. We will find out in the morning.

Day 3 - PVB, Rob, Jason, Emma
I am going to refer to today as "The Day of the Massive Stomach Ache." All day I was thinking about last night and everything that happened, and feeling terrible. I did not talk to Jenn at all, even though I wanted to text her so bad. I feel like that would just make things worse.
This morning I woke up to my Mom making me pancakes, which was wonderful. We went out to Ponte Vedra with Liam for the day, and met up with my grandmother and my cousin Patrick at my aunt's house. We pretty much just sat around and talked, and I had a really long talk with Granny Franny about Sweet Briar. I have decided (more like accepted) that I am miserable there. I realized today when I was talking to Granny about it, that it is a good fit academically, just not socially. I am not going to transfer, but I have been thinking a lot more about graduate school. Working at the hospital this summer will be good, because if it turns out to be something I enjoy, it would be a field I could easily go into right out of school. I want/need to get an MBA, although I will get my Masters and Doctorate in Art History before I am 50. That is my ultimate goal in life. How cool would it be to have a doctorate in Contemporary Art? That is what I would love to do. I love my grandmother so much, and talking to her makes me realize things and sort my thoughts.
We went to the Town Center for lunch and shopping. At Barnes and Noble I got my favorite magazines ever, as well as a new one called FOUND that I uh.... found. I haven’t really looked at it yet but it looks pretty cool. I will be up all night tonight reading that, Artforum, and Art on Paper.
For my birthday my mom got me a gift card to get a new iPhone since mine is a piece of crap and falling apart. Although when I went in my friends there told me to wait a while before I get a new one since there may be a new phone coming out this summer. So me and my good friend Cherry Darling will be sticking together for a bit longer. I guess that’s good, because I still hadn’t thought of a new name for my new phone. My phone now is Cherry Darling (Planet Terror), my Kindle is Dr. Dakota Block (also Planet Terror) and my iPod is Frankenstein. So I will think about that for a while.
I spent some time with Rob tonight, and it was different than it has been for a while. I think a lot about my senior year and how Rob and I spent every moment together, and I really miss that. And tonight it didn't feel forced like it does sometimes. We about peed ourselves when lightning hit right by his house right before we were going to go to the Loop for dinner. (I just realized I left my cup in my car and I am really thirsty....) I got my food and as always, the first thing he did was take a huge bite out of one of my chicken fingers. Although this time it scalded his mouth and the chicken along with a line of slobber fell from his mouth. Just as it happened a women walked in the door and watched the whole thing happen. She just shook her head and laughed, which made the whole situation about a thousand times funnier. After dinner our first thought was "Krispy Kreme," of course. We then discovered the hot sign is on until 10 now, which was thrilling.
After I left Rob's I went to the beach and hung out with Jason for a little bit. It was rainy and gross and the only thing we could figure out to do was to walk on the beach for a while. I felt bad because he has a broken toe and the sand was wet and hard to walk on, but he was a good sport about it. I wasn’t out there very long, and I was driving back home I realized that I hadn’t seen Emma yet, so I called her and met her at the Casbah with two of her friends. That sentence was unnecessarily long. I was there with her for about an hour and I think I am going to do something with her tomorrow.
In the last few days, I have realized something really odd about myself. I guess I realized it a long time ago, but it has been confirmed. I am an observer. In any given situation, I would much rather observe than partake. Like the other night at TSI, I would rather people watch than dance or socialize. I think this is the main thing that makes me so socially awkward. I am fine with that though. It may be part of my creative and artsy side that makes me do it, because I like to image these people’s lives and what they will do when they go home. I wish I could be invisible. I would go out so much and just watch people, never partaking in any of the activities, just observe. I don’t feel like this is creepy in the least bit, because I am not staring and watching, just observing and noting things. Alright that is even creepier.
Overall I had a decent day, but I had this nagging stomach ache all day, thinking about last night. No matter what I was doing, or how hard I was laughing at Rob in pain, I could not get last night out of my head. I have to fix this. I have a phone conference tomorrow morning at 9:30 (I feel so grown up) so I am going to get to sleep. No plans other than that tomorrow for the most part.
