Yet another day of doing absolutely nothing. The sad part is, I actually wanted to do stuff today. I was planning on going to the beach, or to the pool at least, but it was a cloudy, dismal day. Damn. Maybe I'll have better luck tomorrow.

I went to the mall for a bit last night, just to kill time, and Lauren was there, too! She called me and told me I had to come to meet her in Abercrombie immediately because there was a shirt that I just had to have. When I got there, she showed me the shirt. The front had some Abercrombie shit on it like "Abercrombie Surf Club" or something, but the back... it had the number "8" in the center, like a sports jersey would, and above the number it said "Cookie." Hahahaha. 8 was my volleyball number, and Cookie is my man. Heh.

After the mall, Honkey picked me up and we went and got Cookie. We went and got a bite to eat at IHOP, and as we were leaving the restaurant, this surfer dude rode up on his bike. His name was Mark, he was really short, and obviously stoned. He had headphones on, and made us take a listen to his music. He rambled on and on for quite a while about different bands. He asked us what our names were, so of course we made up fake ones. Honkey was "Jim," Cookie was "Roger," and I was "Stephanie." Don't ask me why I chose that name, I don't even like that name very much, but for some reason it just popped into my head. Weird.

When we ended our conversation with Mark, we went back to my house. Honkey played on my computer, and Cookie and I fell asleep on the floor. That's the third time we've fallen asleep on my floor in the past week. Something about it must make us sleepy.

When I woke up this morning, I started watching the Discovery Channel. Here's some advice: If you're ever bored out of your mind, watch Discovery. You will no longer be bored, I guarantee it! I watched Story of a Makeover, 2 hours of Surprise by Design, Christopher Lowell's new show called It's Christopher Lowell, and then I watched the regular Christopher Lowell Show. Wow. Just wow. I love designer shows like that. And I thought HGTV was good! It's nothin' compared to Discovery!

I got the Matrix CD the other day, along with Madonna's new one. They are both sooooo good. I just listened to Madonna all the way through. Love love love it! And of course the Matrix soundtrack kicks serious booty. It even has an Oakenfold remix on it! Sweet!

I have a lot of bruises on my arms and legs. I don't know where they came from.

Know how I got my nails done a few days ago? Well, the Vietnamese may do nails well, but they use cheap polish. It's all chipped off! All of it! I've never had polish do that before. Usually it's on at least a week before I get any chipping. Gah!

I can't help but think Alan's away message from earlier was directed in my general direction...

And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Don't quite know what to think about that. Hrmph. I read this on a Diaryland banner today, and thought it was kind of funny:

Girls you've got to know
When it's time to turn the page
When you're only wet
Because of the rain

Heh. And the following poem I found online somewhere a few days ago... it's sad, but oh so good. There was something about it that I liked:

Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
because that was the name of his dog
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
That was the year that Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
And was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometimes they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
And his father never tucked him in bed at night
And his father got mad when he cried for him to do it.

Once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
And that's what it was all about
And his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door because he never showed her
That was the year that Father Tracy died
And he forgot how the end of the Apostle's Creed went
And he caught his sister making out on the back porch
And his mother and father never kissed or even talked
And the girl around the corner wore too much makeup
That made him cough when he kissed her but he kissed her anyway because that was the thing to do
And at three A.M. he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly

That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's what it was really all about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.

Creepy, eh? I would write more, but nothing else really happened to me today. Cookie's coming over in a bit, but I don't know what we're going to do. I think we might go on a mission to find The Neverending Story. I've been wanting that movie for quite some time. The last time I was at Best Buy they were out! Grr. Hopefully I'll get lucky tonight and find it.

New pictures!!! ::squeee::
