Alright, I suppose I should get caught up again after the post I left on Friday morning. I kind of didn't want to post anything right after that because it's really been the theme song for how I've been feeling the past while. But I'm getting ahead of myself, so, back to school on Friday:
I got to school half an hour early, as planned, and I had a little gift all ready for Caitlin for Valentine's. She suggested that I should come early so she could give me a surprise, which I suspect was going to be some CDs to borrow. I found Anne upstairs in her plaid skirt, but no Caitlin. So I chatted with Anne for a bit and then went and wrote a German test. I was pretty uninspired and didn't bother studying vocabulary or anything for it, and this time it was actually a pretty short test. Instead of madly scribbling the whole hour, I finished in half that time and strutted out, as per usual, ahead of everyone else. Then I wandered off to the Science Theatres where I found Mandy and we chit chatted and then went to syntax.
In syntax we got our first assignment back. I got an A. One other person got an A, and one person got an A+. She said that anyone in the "A range" is pretty much competent enough to write a good paper already. So I guess that means I should end up doing pretty well in the course. Unfortunately, that also means that I probably won't take too much away from the course either. That doesn't mean I'm going to have trouble getting this stupid paper proposal done by the twenty-third or whenever it's due.
After that class, Tasnuva and I took care of a couple things and then met up with My-an near the Den. After having a smoke and waiting around for a bit, I discovered that someone had apparently told Tas that he'd pay for her to play DDR, so she had to do that. This all killed an hour that we would have otherwise spent bored in Kensington. Once they finished their game, we hopped on the C-Train and headed off to Higher Ground.
I had myself a cup of "Monk's Blend" tea and they each had some sugary coffee-beverage. A little while later Alex showed up and we finished off my Gauloises cigarettes. Once we got bored of the coffee shop and waiting for Mandy or Caitlin to arrive we went down the street to the Kensington Pub. I had pineapple juice and smoked a lot. I was sad that I never got to see Cate that day, and then she didn't appear on the internet except to say a couple words the next day and then run off again. After an hour and a half or so we got tired of being at the pub and My-an went home and Tasnuva and Alex and I came back to my place to play snakes and ladders and super nintendo and listen to music. I think Tas had fun and may be interested in coming over again, despite the lack of excitement in my room. So, they all left around eight and that was pretty much the end of the excitement for that day, but for some reason I was up until four in the morning anyhow.
Which brings us to the almost entirely pointless existence during Valentine's Day. I woke up at about half past eleven, showered and all that, then decided that it just wasn't fucking worth it at all and I put my pyjamas back on and went back to bed. Eventually I gave up trying to really sleep and powered up the laptop and dragged it over beside the bed so I could MSN from there. Basically I mostly just sulked at Anne about how miserable I was and mixed that with drifting off for a couple minutes and looking at the clock to see how much of the day had gone by. Lindsay was supposed to come over to watch movies, and at around two I was starting to think that she'd either forgotten or changed her mind, and I wasn't in any sort of mood to call her and find out. She appeared online a while later and I didn't feel like I was really in the mood for company, despite being lonely, if that makes any sense. So I suggested that, seeing as she was already going out with the girls for Valentine's dinner, she may as well just continue hanging out with them for the rest of the night too. I figured I'd hedge my bets, though and have her call me when they were finished dinner to see what was going on.
It's a good thing I did, because by then (seven-thirtyish) I'd had breakfast and was a little more about and not feeling quite so bad. She called and said that they were just watching TV and a movie at her house, and that sounded like exactly the sort of thing that I would be up for, so I had mother drive me up there. It was pretty good and relaxing and nice, so I'm glad I went. Lins took us all home a little while after midnight, I guess, although her clock in the van claimed it was nearly two.
On a side-note, I think I'll probably just cancel my subscription to Earth & Beyond seeing as I haven't really played it for over a week and I'm not particularly interested in it anymore. Not only that, but I've become rather poor and that twenty dollars a month is just too much. Related to that, I'm not smoking over reading week. I can't afford to. I can't afford to smoke once school starts again either, so we'll see how that goes, I guess. I really really hate being poor like this. Not even so much because it means I have to go without buying things for myself, but rather because it means that I can't be as generous as I want to be. And it makes me feel really cheap and stingy and I really hate that. Like, Lindsay wanted a bag of chips today and it was only like a dollar and she had to pay for it on her debit card because she didn't have any cash on hand. I'd purposely left my change purse at home because I didn't want to have the option of buying anything, and I would have normally just grabbed a buck out of my pocket so save her the trouble of using her debit card. It pained me to not be able to do that. I know, I know, it's only a dollar, and that just makes it worse. I guess I need to get myself a job...
Today I crawled out of bed at some point in time in the early afternoon and had some cold waffle and cold bacon for breakfast. And then I suggested to mother that she get rid of the succulent ring. She then informed me that she's pretty sure that it wasn't the succulent ring's fault, but rather the bag of soil. Apparently she opened the bag of soil to plant some bonsai seeds and a swarm of flies poured out of it. She put the soil outside, and hopefully that was the only source of those horrible horrible bugs.
Shortly before four, Lindsay appeared online and I told her to just come on in when she got here. She arrived some twenty minutes later and then we watched part three of "The Terminator." What a bad movie, as expected. So, now we're done that set of movies, but it really looks like they were setting it up for a part four. Which means that we'll have to see that at some point if it comes out. Unfortunately. Well at least it will give me an excuse to spend some more time with her.
After that movie, Lins had a hankering for some potato chips because Arnold stole some from a gas station in the movie for not apparent reason. So we went to Mohawk and came back and figured we'd watch another movie. We picked Clerks out of my collection and surfed around on the internet for a while while waiting for the pizza to arrive. Little did we know, the pizza had arrived while we were at the Mohawk and it was just getting cold all that while. Eventually mother came down to see if we were, in fact, eating. I felt kind of silly, so we went upstairs and had the pepperoni and hawaiian pizza slices, some grape flavoured soda and headed back downstairs. I'm not sure whether Lindsay liked Clerks or not, and I was getting a little tired. After the movie we just listened to some music and played some Super Nintendo and watched some television with the closed captioning on. It was a really relaxing evening and I miss that sort of thing a lot.
Well, Lins and I may have a chance to see each other again on Tuesday before she takes off, but there are also plans to do something involving Meghan then. I seriously doubt that she's too interested in seeing me at all, and I really don't want to harass her in the slightest, so I'll keep my thumb out of that get-together.
