I was completely unable to sleep. I just sorta lay in bed for like an hour after Matt and Jamie got home. I had decided to go to sleep only about five minutes before they arrived, anyhow.

I got up and started to read Wicked, a book that has taken me over a year to get a quarter of the way through... I read it so sporadically, I don't remember everything that has happened. It's a bit of a mess, but if I start again, I'll never finish it.

After some of my usual dreams that might as well be reality, I did get up. And... such was my day. Didn't work today. Working for a pagan helps, I guess, getting off on Halloween.

The day was full of distractions as Monday often is... The sleep is unkind, as dreams barely manage to emerge and then just as you are in complete gladness, a bell rings. It's annoying, class. :)

Saw a rather interesting documentary on Alice Walker (fascinating speaker, less than amazed with her, but I like listening to her) but it was badly edited. That was English. I miss Mrs. Carolan but I hate the fact that she left mostly now because she's giving us stupid work, the kind of work she herself called "stupid work" before she went off. I understand her leaving (that whole baby-in-the-stomach-thing) but what she's left us is just irritating.

Speaking to Jake is just making me all melty anyway, so it's all wonderful now. :)

In other news:

Find your emotion!

I don't think I like this one. I changed the one answer I was between choices and got "Fear"... Damn quizzes make me think too much.

Oh! Yes, well, so lots of stuff happened today! Well, first off had a bit of a spat with Joyce about my SAT scores. After all the that involving me taking them again and pretty much only taking them for her I got a 570 in Verbal (the exact same as last time) and a pathetic 340 in Math. So the news? I got 40 extra points. Yes, so I pretty much obviously did better than I thought I could but this was clearly not good enough. We're quiet about that at the moment.
I went to Montclair University today. I want to go there now. I had a really nice tour guide named Chris and I liked what I saw (er, in terms of the campus, not the guide. Although...)
After a long tour (it certainly seemed so) Joyce and I went to a bookstore like almost right next to the Screening Zone and Joyce now knows where Rocky is in relation to where she knows Montclair. I got books!

After that, I got a phone call message from MBK explaining in a cheery voice that she had news. Apparently she's getting re-psychologically-evaluated. Scary thing is, she was really in a cheery voice. Yeah, and Garett said he loves her. Poor girl.
Dinner.
Oh! Kristen calls! Okay, so hours of fuming sort of mushed over to just angry and we explained some stuff to each other. We ended up spending only about an hour on the issue of the paper and she explained most of the e-mail was not directed at me. Well, yes, but she still sent it to me. In any event, we were on the phone for about 5 hours and we talked a lot about sex and religion and music. Basic stuff, really. Sex is yucky for her and I learned some interesting things about her previous relationships that I didn't know before and won't divulge here. However, at the moment, all is calm between George and Kristen. At the moment. She brought up a valid point though: how do you expect to preserve high school friendships if you don't spend any time with the friends in high school?
I retorted, validly I believe, that I spend minimal time at Rocky and have done stuff with her (Hedwig last Wednesday, hello!) and that it's not usually Rocky that keeps me unavailable but Rocky people - as in other friends. Favourites are never intended to be made and if that happens at times, it's an accident.
She did admit that we are all (D, K, L, & G) unavailable at times and we'll try to work on the project as evenly as possible. We'll see what happens, really. Such is life.
Now where the fuck is Brandon?
