Wow...I really pulled a slick move tonight. I was running, I was running, I was running over a speed bump in the parking lot, I was running over a speed bump in the parking lot and I TRIPPED! 155 pounds of Amanda came crashing down on my right knee. Not only did I rip my favorite pair of jeans and make a complete ass of myself in front of 100 or so people, but I gave myself quite a nasty case of road rash. Yeah, take a look if you dare. It's pretty gross. This is your warning. Don't email me and tell me you didn't want to see it.

Before I cleaned it After I cleaned it

There's a big difference. There's a reason why I don't go back to my high school. Tonight was a big "NO!" sign. This accident is telling me to stay the f-ck away. That's what I'll be doing. I saw my two really good friends from when I was still there. It was nice to have people recognize me and call out my name. They may be band geeks, but, I was one too. Sean and Travis are two of the nicest people I've met. They always made me laugh, even when I had the crappiest day. I know where to find them. I think it may be time to get back in touch with old friends.

The cam is up and working again. Yay to that. I ended up downloading a new(er) version of ConquerCam and I don't like it at all. It's hotter than hell right now. This high pressure system that's parking its ass over Nevada right now it's making me happy. For Christ's sake, it's November 19th. I'm wearing shorts and what was a tank top. I know this is California and all...but STILL! It's november. Powerlines in Massachusettes are freezing up and we're still lounging around in our bathing suits.

*15 minute break*

My friend Briona just stopped by. She left a tape recorder for me to tape the review session in Myth tomorrow morning. I also found out that I had been spelling her name wrong for the past 3 weeks. Man, I feel like an idiot. Tonight is this district band deal at my old high school. I'm going to go tonight ONLY because I can gurantee my dad will start hell with my old director (he used to work with her). Fireworks and fists will be flying. I'm off to go make my Howie Day keychain. Wow, I'm really weird.

P.S. I really really like it when people stand up for something and tell someone they are out of line. It makes me happy to see that. Yay!!!

So technically it's Tuesday but bear with me and pretend I'm writing this on Monday night. Derek came home this morning around 9 am. I was very happy to hear he got home safe and sound. We went out for Indian food after work and hung out at his apartment. It was a little odd when he left. We had met once for coffee and hit it off well, and then he left for Japan the next day lol Kinda odd having that 11 day gap, but I was happy he came home.

I have reaffirmed the fact that my English professor is a complete idiot. My paper mentions "alchemy" and he goes off on some tangent about his latest book called Alchemy of Opposites which has absolutly nothing to do with the science behind alchemy. Someone put that man out of his misery, for the students' sake...or get him out of CSULB!

Ok, it's bedtime. I have lots to talk about...but the light from the computer screen is really cutting into my sleep mode. Catch ya on the flip side!
