… “This should be a night to be remembered. We’ll remember. You can be sure of that. Unexpected- you’re expected. No one else will know that you’ve been crying. Think of where we are and who would care.”
(This post is from a few months ago. I’m trying to clear out my saved drafts. I just don’t remember when I wrote this or if I did post it and wordpress messed it up. Whatever. Enjoy the nostalgia.)
Knowledge Bowl has been pretty amazing. We went to a competition last week. I couldn’t be prouder of our team. I suppose I get the point of “team morale,” now. And yeah, it’s a sport if you compete. I got a free pencil, even if I *kind of* stole it from one of the judges. I spent twelve dollars on two sandwiches and bought the most disgusting drink I’ve ever had. All in all, it was a great day. Even if the homie that asked me out in summer school was there. He goes to Olympic and we shared the bus with them. All the way to Fort Warden, which is about two hours from home? Awkward, yeah.
I’ve been knitting like crazy to get my winter solstice presents done. And just doing random stuff to get these presents done.
Other things have been going down, but it’s quite stupid and is a huge waste of time so I’m not going to elaborate further. It’s not stupid, but absolutely irrelevant. You know, disjointed.
It snowed. Our house kinda flooded, too. It was very minimal, but it was enough to get my mom nervous for days. Like, omgz a corner of our house is letting a tablespoon into the downstairs of our house.
I read what Logan wrote in my yearbook. I didn’t really know how to respond to it, mostly because I didn’t know how he wanted me to respond to it. Anyways, it made me cry for about an hour and I ended up speaking to my yearbook about it. Like, why do you keep doing this to me? And stuffs. He was like, yah, you’re a good person and a terrific writer. And then at the end he said that maybe “we’ll get closer.” How was I supposed to interpret that, necessarily? I was speaking to Anthony about it and he said that he thinks that Logan’s being sincere about it and that he wouldn’t mind getting to know me better. Because if he hadn’t brought it up again, of his own volition, then he probably was just being nice. And I’m thinking, “Cool.” Gosh, as much as I love him and as much as I try, I don’t think we’re ever going to get together in that way and if we were to, it’d be really disastrous. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Seven people like me right now. If one were to herd these seven people into a room, they would be a “small crowd.” Wow, I hate everyone.
But anyways. I don’t know what else to say. The last time I wrote here, things were very different, you know. Just… very different. I had no reason to think that Logan didn’t care about me, because he kind of does. At least enough to reassure me twice that I have some sort of chance to get it on. But uh, I don’t know what the deal is with Debbie, so I won’t go into that. But to everyone else that doesn’t read the newspapers; she doesn’t really want to have anything to do with me. Or whatever. So, that’s what the protagonist of my life story is dealing with at this point, among other things. I don’t need to elaborate any further now, yeah.
We bought a huuuuuuge tv for our downstairs living room. We didn’t have enough room in the car for me AND the television, at which point I discovered everyone’s true priorities. I had to sit on top of the cardboard box on the way home. Sure, we broke about sixteen different laws as we did it, but we brought “the big boy,” home.
