Feb. 26th, 2006 09:56 amHmm, I just haven't had the energy to write everything down. Odd. Oh well, highlights of the last week.
- I had my party last Sunday. I apparently lack any concept of time, since I was distressing my Mom by scheduling things without any consideration for "traveling time". I got together with Sierra before the party and we (attempted) to visit every costume shop in town, sadly all but the Look was closed. I love spending time with her, but we seem to function better with an audience, I'm not sure why.
The party itself wasn't bad but it certainly wasn't what I had intended. I had planned on us running around the hospital LARPing to my hearts content but several things stopped us 1) We couldn't agree on a plot 2)Sariah was scared about what might happen and didn't really want to play and 3) The cleaning staff complained about how much noise we were making and I was informed that we couldn't leave the office. Needless to say I was disappointed, I had too much energy for just sitting around. But sit we did. The girls watched Moulin Rouge while I cooked us dinner.
I got annoyed with Sariah, just shy of angry, because she was flirting very blatantly with Sierra. It frustrated me because 1) She was hitting on a girl that she Knew her sister had a thing for 2) Sierra has a thing for Savanah back and 3) My ex-girlfriend was hitting on my ex-crush three days after we broke up. I noticed of course but it wasn't until Savanah came up to me and said "Jessica, can I talk to you?"
Me: Sure Hun, what's up?
Sav: Can we talk in the over room?
Me: 'course (open door; walk through) Now, what's the trouble?
Sav: Well, Sariah says she likes Sierra and I just don't know what to do!
Me: (beat) Right. Sierra! Dear would you join us for a second. (While waiting for Sierra to come Sariah joined us. She looked between the two of us and went :)
Sar: You told her?
Me: 'Course she did. Sierra get in here please.
Sierra: Oh no, what did I do wrong? Am I in trouble?
Me: Yes you are, it appears you are simply too hot for your own good *whisper* they both have a thing for you, you'd better choose.
(The twins joined the rest of the others and Sierra ran to the back to fall onto the floor and convulse a little)
Si: Twins!
Me: You're just going to have to choose between them.
Si: I know but, Twins!
(She lay there with me crouched down on top of her)
Me" Personally I'd go for Savanah. She's liked you longer and to be honest she seems more stable. Now which are you going to pick, since you can't have them both.
Si: Savanah.
Me: Good choice . . . don't move from that spot, I'll be right back. (I ran and got Savanah, I shoved Savy into the bathroom along with Sierra and then shut the door. Giving them 15 minutes of privacy and only asking that the shirts stay on).
For the rest of the night Sariah not only avoided the cuddle bunnies (Si and Savy) but me as well. Despite the trashing of my plans I had a fun night and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, which as a host is all I can ask for.
- Choir practice on Monday was awesome. We had guest instructors, the concert association was footing the bill. They'd come to attempt to give us old crusty, white retirees a sense of rhythm. The energy was great and I just had a lot of fun.
- I've finally figured out what my lessons with Peggy really are, they're therapy sessions for musicians. We talk over steaming cups of tea, we sing Broadway show tunes and sappy love songs, and we make each other laugh.
- DDF was today and yesterday. On Wed. I was assigned to do Duo but my partner said she couldn't make the tourney so I was left to time and find ways to amuse myself. We got our asses kicked at the last Tourney last week but it looks like we kicked but today. I didn't actually get to see much since I only timed what they told me to. I didn't see a single HI or anything funny, but I timed three debates, DI semi-s, and Panto finals. Panto was cool, it's become much more dance like this season than in years past (also West took 1st and 2nd place, w00t). [Oh, it was odd. I saw Flounder a.k.a. Brian, for the first time since October today. I haven't seen him mainly because he dropped out of school to get his GED, I wonder why he came today. I was busy making a sandwich but we exchanged pleasantries and hugged as best we could with my hands full of luncheon meat.]
After the tourney was finished we and Whitestone (our arch-nemesis) went to go see Pirate Tales at the Wendy together. It looked like it could have been rather terrible but it was actually really entertaining. It was very informal, not only did they acknowledge the audience but they identified themselves as actors instead of characters. Plus they threw salt-water taffy at us, free candy, always a plus. There were two bits that I Have to get a hold of. One was a poem that Shane did that was the story of a man who, ship wrecked with seven other crewmen slowly, and with the help of the others, eats everyone else until it is down to the cook (his best friend) and himself. He drowns the cook in his own broth, and taking his time eating the last supplies he is likely to ever have, is actually rescued a week later. He never smiled, never told anyone or ever let on. The only hint as to what happened that he allowed himself to say was to say he was "a cook, a captain, and a boson’s mate (and a bunch of other things I can't remember)" because he'd eaten them all. The other was a story that Wayne not only told but wrote. Oh my Lord it was cool. It was the story of Captain Hook said completely in spoonerisms (twere the fords are lipped). It was amazing, and first thing after the show I demanded a copy.
I think I'm finally being accepted on the team. We got together at the Wendy on Tues. and after playing some games we sat down and we talked about the team. What we thought of it, how we could improve, essentially anything that was relevant. I, naturally, had to add my two cents, and after having my hand up for twenty minutes I finally went. I spoke faster than normal but not too fast that I couldn't be understood, I said how even though I wasn't from West that I had chosen to join that team instead of another because the people on it were so amazing (plus a bunch of other stuff I can't remember). I made everyone laugh twice and at the end the all applauded. Emily, who I called on with the last breathe of my speech went, "Jeez, soapbox much?"
Another reason, odd though it may be, that I feel like I'm really joining is that everyone's started mocking me. Not in a mean way, but in that gentle smiling way you do with friends, teasing I guess would be a better way to describe it.
All today I've been missing Jenny something terrible. We aren't that close, in that we don't call each other all the time, or write every day, or spend the weekends at each other’s houses (the last mainly because we're in different states) but we know a lot about each other and simply reading about her day makes me smile. I have lost, and will loose, contact with so many people during my life. But even if we do that lame "Christmas Card" annual update thing I'd still be happy to have her in my life some how.
Now I have to sleep. Love and Fuzz ~ J
