I'm pissed. Very pissed. Last night, when I got back from Dave's, I was just in time for Jenn to start a movie at 9 o'clock or so, with two other girls in the room. That group of people actually varied between 2 and 7, as different guys would come in and out of the room at different times. I hate groups, and I'm sure that she has picked up that impression of me by now. I will never be seen in a group of more than 3 people if I can help it. And, also, I'm sure she's noticed that everyone of my friends have been out of the room by 10. But, I didn't say anything, I didn't protest.. The only time I did was when they wanted to turn off the light at my desk (that I was obviously using, being on the computer an all) so they could see the TV better. She offered to just move all the light over to my side and blind me instead, and I guessed that was better than losing the light altogether. We watched the movie, and a lot of the time her friends kept staring at me. Maybe it was because I wasn't talking to them, or maybe it was my cat PJ's... Either way, they only made me more uncomfortable. When the movie was over, I was happy - now they'd get the hell out, and maybe Jenn would to if she wasn't going to go to sleep. I wasn't really paying attention to her, but then I noticed her looking threw her movie collection again. I saw her pull out a movie, say it was a good one, and then one of the girls who had been watching the movie left, but said she would be back... And I knew she was already planning on showing another movie. It was 11PM on a Sunday night... I guess I sound dorky, but I'm used to my parents shuffling everyone out of the house at 8PM, and then my house was fucking QUIET. I don't really want a repeat of that here, but it is what I'm used to... And I couldn't believe that she would just show another movie and not ask me if that was ok, being how late it was. She was walking around a lot, and at one point, she came in and said something... And I asked if she was going to show another movie. She said she was, and I asked her if she could show it in another room instead, and she said, "I don't know where else I'm going to show it." Then, she tried to bargain how it would only last 2 hours and how it would be over around 1 or 1:30. I protested and said, timidly, "That's still kind of late..." and she turned around then and said, "fine, I'll fine some place else to watch it," and the group of guys that were trailing her left as well. I guess that was the end of that, since she didn't talk to me at all until she finally got the movie and left, which is not really unusual to normal. I had trouble falling asleep, and I was probably right on the break of sleep, or had finally dozed off when I heard Jenn and one or two other people came in. She came in and turned on a little light, and started pounding away on the computer and talking in loud voices. The girl she was talking to was my friend, too, Kelly, and they both seemed to care less. Maybe she was going by Jenn's lead... I remember near the end of their conversation, I was just staring at Jenn out from under my covers. When he was looking up to say buy to Kelly, she made straight eye contact with me, and held it as she continued to talk. I hope I freaked her out, staring like that. Everyone was finally gone by 2AM, and I had to start trying to get to sleep after having been woken up completely again. This morning, she woke up at 6:50, which would have been ok. Except she did nothing to keep herself quiet as she got ready. She was slamming drawers, crumpling paper, and left the door wide open as she blew dried her hair. Yesterday morning I was falling over myself trying so hard to keep the room quiet as I got ready. Everytime I accidently knocked something over, I would spin around with a guilty look on my face as she made eye contact with me and then rolled over. She said she didn't mind, that she was a light sleeper but it was easy for her to fall back asleep... Yet this morning was completely out of line.

Something else that pisses me off? I've been bugging her all week to look at AllPosters.com for posters she would like to buy so we can share the shipping cost. She's already got her side of the wall covered in pictures, and it's a small room to begin with. I was planning on limiting myself to somewhere around 2 or 3, possibly 4, but Jenn openly says she wants 6 posters. I don't know where in the fuck she thinks she's going to put them - certainly not on my side of the room. But, then again, she's not getting 6, because that's too much (I'm paying for it on the money on my card, and then she'll pay me in cash), because it'll raise the shipping ridiculously.

She's a hoe.

I was over at Dave's today, and I was on his computer and he was messing with my hair as he talked on the phone. When he finished talking, he said that my hair was going everywhere - meaning, it kept falling out. I said, "Yeah, I've been shedding like crazy." TJ was in the room, and he said, "Oh, I thought you said you were shitting like crazy." We laughed, and he added, "Never head a girl say that." Then he said, "'I'm going to go blow up your toilet, be right back'", mocking as to what a girl might say... Oh, jesus, it was funny.

Eee... Haven't updated in a day or two. Just a day? Not entirely sure. Probably should have, more than likely could have, but didn't. Why? No real reason... I'm alone now (not counting Jenn, who doesn't much talk to me enough to count as a presence most of the time), after spending the majority of the rest of today with people, and I feel like writing. Mainly because some hella kind person in my guestbook wrote that this page was on the verge of addictive. Yeah :smile: Way too much input for my ego, I believe.

Anyway... I wrote some stuff yesterday. I saved it, I believe. Might as well post it, as the majority of the past 24 hours is a little hazy to tell apart.

Written at 9:40AM, yesterday.

I had taken a nap between 1 or 2. Sometime during that, Dave had come by. He had written a message on my dry erase board, and I had not noticed when I was leaving for sculpture at 3:30. I saw it when I was coming back from Sculpture, though... And speaking of my Sculpture class, it was rather embarrassing to me. We had been assigned to bring a paper bag, and I asked a girl from my class, Tori, to bring me one, which she did. Near the end of the class, after seeing slides of art work and given descriptions on them and the categories they fit in, we came back out into the larger room and he told us we had 25 minutes to make a sculpture out of a paper bag. I had a really great plan for mine, but it didn't come to me until late... I wanted to make the outline of a human head, and cut pieces of the head out, and then on the other side of the bag put holes in the missing area to represent ideas. But, as far as I got was making the head outline (having no scissors will do that), and I had to fold the rest of the bag up and use it as a stand. Everyone else had such creative ideas, like a tree or made the bad look like it was exploding or a hand made out of the twisted parts of the bag... while mine just sort of fell short. Blah. I thought that class would be so easy... "Hurry up and be creative" my ass.

Anyway, after words, both me and Tori were hungry (which is one of the girl's who I met at Quest - she's pretty cool) and we went to lunch. I constructed some kind of sandwich, following her lead (since I had never had dinner dinner at Dalton). I guess we ate for about an hour, since I didn't get home until about 6:30. I was going to accompany her to the mail boxes, but I looked up and saw some killer ass storm clouds. I had never seen anything like them, with such sharp contrasts of darks and lights. I wish I had taken pictures... They looked so textured - even layered. I guess that's how they always look in the mountains. On my way back, almost right in front of my dorm, was a guy I had met at Quest. I remember sitting by him during one of the speeches and laughing and having a good time. It took me a double take to recognize him, since it's easy for people to start all looking alike, I guess. He did the same, and when he said "hey", I at first thought he was going to completely pass me up. But, we both stopped, and started talking. I found out where he was staying, and I got his phone number. I was really happy to see him - he was probably the person I liked best from Quest. And what a weird place and time to meet him again.

But, when I got home and noticed the message on my board, I instantly called Dave, and it kept ringing and ringing. He was on the phone with his girlfriend. He accidently hung up on her while trying to switch lines, and then just called me. :P Whoops. I'm sure she didn't mind... She had to have known he was trying to, since he can't do two things at once. At least, I hope he told her before he hung up. But, anyway, I told him I was coming over. When I came over, there was a girl named Stacy there, who I guess was from his Biology class. She was trying to use his book for shit, since she had not gotten hers yet and they were given an assignment to read a good couple of chapters. She left eventually, after TJ had arrived. I get a real kick out of TJ. Last Tuesday, when he was talking to Jenn on the phone for the first time (they keep not meeting) he was saying that he was moving in with Jenn and I was moving in with Dave... pointing out how we spend all our freaking free time together. Pretty funny. Dave said he wished I lived on the same floor as him, which would make contact a lot easier. His room is a damn long walk from here. When I got there, I told him I "scuttled", because I did make it there in pretty good time. Had to - I didn't want the storm to rip while I was outside without even an umbrella. We hung out in his room, but stayed on opposite sides of the room, basically. He talked a lot online, and on the phone. Nothing much. I always make an issue of his hair, though... Because he says he usually keeps it shorter than what I have been seeing, and everytime he brought it up I couldn't believe that it could be any shorter. He asked me to feel his head for some reason, and I rubbed my hands all threw it and pushed his head back against my stomach/chest and completely fucked up his head, and put it in the shape of a mohawk when I was done (although it was too short to keep). It made my hands feel as weird as shit, and I told him that. It was because he had not showered in a couple of days, yep. Haha, it pisses him off when I tease him about his nasty ass.

End previous writing.

Hmmph. I can't remember what really happened after that. I'm pretty sure we went to dinner at Muse, and we came back to my place. Heh, "my place." Haha. Anyway, I think he was half thinking of staying here that night because he had a 9 o'clock class in the hall that's basically just right outside the front door here. He was laying down on my bed, buried in my pillows. He said he if he fell asleep there then he would stay, although, it took him three times saying that because he was so deep in them that I couldn't understand him (which I rarely do, anyway.) I told him I was going to change into my PJ's, and I hoped he didn't mind. I went into the bathroom and changed, and when I came out, he was getting his bookbag on. When he was leaving, I asked him if he liked my PJ's, and he looked at me with this goofy ass smile and said, "Yeah", and I replied, "Ok, that's all I wanted to know, bye," and then laughed at him. Heh. I walked him to the elevator, though, anyway, and said bye. I think he partly left because he didn't have his Biology book, which was his first class in the morning, and the one he needed to study for for a test.

And what happened probably not 5 minutes after he left? A fire drill. A freaking fire drill, in the rain. I put on my good slippers and went outside in them in the nasty wet. I left the door open, because Jenn was not there, and I freak out during fire drills and couldn't get my motor skills together enough to pick up the keys. It ended up lasting about 15 minutes in total, with girls completely freaking out that they had a scheduled fire drill. I hung out with my suite mates, or at least, one of them, during this, since we had to get in groups of floors anyway. On the way back up, I made a comment that I looked like a really bad jungle girl, with my wet hair. Kelly said that she liked my hair, that it was very hippie like, so I decided to start my hippie impression, which got them laughing. Saying shit like, "You're killing my buzz, man," talking about the fire drill in the rain. It made the trudge back up the 3 flights of stairs bearable. I called Dave right afterwords and told him. He laughed at me, the freak. The Republican, sexist freak.

Yesterday, I can't remember all that well what I did. I had sociology for the second time so far, and I've fallen in love with the class/way of the professor (teacher.) It almost makes me want to become a sociology major, because I find the subject matter to be extremely interesting. Then, with English, the class could have ended after about 20 minutes but our teacher (professor) decided to do some other unneeded exercise to help us find a topic for the paper we need to write. I'll probably end up doing it at the last minute, as everyone will probably. I know my classes ended early, as well as Dave's. I went over to his room afterwords, I think. I'm pretty sure. I know I ended up hanging there for a while, because he ended up seeing some of the pictures that I put up for this site... Ooo, no, wait, I remember. He was taking a shower, and told me to come by. He told me once that he takes long showers; no, actually he told me twice, but I never really thought he meant THAT freaking long. I was probably sitting there a good 30 minutes in addition to the amount of time it took me to leave, go to the bookstore, come back after seeing the line was too long, and then head back out again. When he was done, he poked his head out of the shower and startled me because he was so quiet. He asked what I was doing, as he was walking out of the bathroom. He had a towel around his waste, and it didn't seem to cover him completely, as there was a little slit going down his left leg. Hehe }:smile: Anyway, after he was finally done getting dressed and whatever in the hell took him so much longer, he went online and I was kind of lurking over his shoulder. He had gotten his hair cut, because I'm guessing Nadia (his girlfriend) had dropped off the vacuum and he could finally buzz it. It didn't look bad, but he said it was still longer than he usually kept it on top. Anyway, he showed me his school's site, I think, and I saw some funky ass pictures of the people from this school doing spirit things like dressing weird. I wanted to show him the pictures of me that were taken, and I was looking all over the school's site but it wasn't loading correctly, so I just said, hell with it, and went to the one place that I knew they were: in the same directory that I store all the pictures I have for this site. That's how he ended up seeing them, as he sat down and started looking at others. After that, we went to lunch, I guess, around 1PM. I had a yummy lunch with cheese fries and fruit (cherries and tangerines - yum) and he had some other crap, the same thing he always eats. While we were eating, he made the really random comment that I take good pictures. It was weird, because I said thanks, and I said, "But I don't think I look that great in them, still", and he said, "They don't." I have a feeling that he didn't understand me, or, I hope he didn't. But the pictures I take are just really random and not all that great in the creativity department, so I was thinking that maybe he was saying that I take good pictures, as in, I am photo genetic? Ehh, probably not, but it's nice to think I got a compliment out of him.

After that, he went to some other dorm to get some girl to jump his car (because he left his glove box open and it killed his battery - haha). After that, he went to VT to pick up his girlfriend and bring her back here, and we had talked about meeting up and going to the club fair, and meeting up there so I could see Nadia, because I wanted to meet her.

Fuuuccckkkk... I've got to stop writing for a while. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, now, since I think Jenn is staying in. I just asked, and she says she doesn't know. Oh, well... I'm just bored now that everyone left.

I have some stuff to write, but I guess I'll do it tomorrow morning. Right now, I need to read some sociology I forgot about. It's easy to do when you don't have a class one day because your teacher's at court. Whoops.
