Her Smiling Eyes

How quickly a weekend can go by!

Friday: I made a post, but it was before Sweeny Todd. I met up with Brendan when I got there and talked while waiting for Erin and Viks to arrive. They reached a roadblock (actually, I have no idea what it was) and were going to take a little longer than expected to arrive- so we went to Something Sweet and got some fudge. The girl working behind the desk was very interesting. She looked to be about our age and we got into this discussion on the plays we've seen and our favorites. Then her mother, who also works there, brought up Rocky Horror. Our eyes lit up because it will be quite a fun show- with the goodie bags and the audience participation. Yum. The mother was like "I was contemplating whether I should put a flyer up for the show-but it was a man dressed like a woman and he had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth...I just couldn't do it!" Brendan and I were just like oh..okay...because she got all moral about it. It was crazy. But we continued talking with the daughter for a bit (her name slipped my mind completely) and it was fun.

Then we snuck our fudge into the show. Erin and Vik arrived and the people originally sitting next to us offered to move. That was very nice of them. The show started and it was very funny. I don't know if it was supposed to be that funny but Mrs. Loveitt was phenomenal! "The worst pies in London!!!" Oh my, I was laughing so hard. It was a great show- very entertaining. At the intermission, there was coffee and I decided I'd have some for once because I didn't want to get sleepy during the last half of the show. So I took a cup and loaded it with sugar and a tad of creamer...wow. After our cups of coffee, Brendan and I were extremely giddy. So the last half of the show was extra funny because we were already laughing. On our way back to our seats, this lady exclaimed to Brendan, "Don't step on my toes!"

After the show, we went to the meet-n-greet with the cast in the basement. I saw Dylan and that made me happy. I dont know if it was the caffine + sugar that made me less shy or what because I was really good last night with approaching people. I wasn't shy around Dylan and that's a step. We went to Vegas afterwards and we all hung out. I decided what the hell, and I had some more coffee. I need about 4 sugar packets for it to taste to my liking so that didn't help my cause. I wasn't bouncing off the walls but I was capable. Actually, I was really mellow on the outside; it was just on the inside that I was jittery. I could feel my heart and i was just jittery. I was also running at the mouth but I could contain myself. And I did for a while. It was a very good time, though.

After Vegas, Brendan, Angelina, and I walked back to the parking lot of PM&L and talked about numerous things. It was really fascinating because I learned so much about the two of them. It wasn't just directly, but in what they would say and how they would say things. You can learn a lot about people indirectly, as well, and they are very interesting. By then, I was thinking at a very quick speed and I was looking and acknowledging things from vast angles. It was really neat-thinking from all those angles.

It was really late , almost 3am or so, so we went home.

Saturday: Two grad parties. I went to both surprisingly. The first one was Brittany M's and that was fun. I met some new people and was able to see some friends I haven't seen in a while. Time really helps you see people in a different light. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. In this case it was good because there was this kid who really aggrivated me when I first met him. But I saw him again and he's actually a really cool guy. I'm really grateful I had a second chance to see this side of him I've never really noticed before. Annoying seems to dominate everything with a first impression. But second impressions save everything, I guess. In this case, yes.

I met this boy Henry and he's really quirky like me. So that was cool. I wish I got to talk to him more because I have a feeling we'd be good friends.

Then I went home and changed. I got to wear one of my nifty 70's shirts from the rummage sale I went to. It was polka dotted. Sweet. I briskly walked to Ward's house because I was a little late and then I realize he wasn't even there yet. He was still at Wicked lol. But the party already started and that was cool. Today was another good day for me because again, I was really outgoing and not shy. Another boy that I am interested in attended this party and I wasn't shy in front of him this time. I think I am getting better with this shyness. I haven't had the opprotunity to see how I react around other people. I don't know. I just keep thinking about this one instance where I met this person and I just closed up. I was acting completely opposite than I normally do and that really bugged me. First impressions say a lot and I am normally not that quiet or shy. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed when someone is really extroverted, too, and I dunno...sometimes I get intimidated from that. Anyway, I was really comfortable last night and it was such a nice feeling! Oh my, I was talking to everybody and I just felt so free. Usually I can only feel like that in a small group but that night I just let go.

We had a mini food-fight which was highly amusing. We just threw fruit rinds at each other and so on. Rachel hit Ward in the face with a grape. It reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite when he got hit in the face with a steak. It was hilarious! Then we had a waterballoon fight and I wanted to join but I wasn't ready quite yet. Then Ward hit me in the ass with a balloon and it was on. We all ended up making an alliance against Nick Badger, and that was funny. All the boys were using 'war tactics' and that was amusing to listen to. Hannah was our 'sacrafice' because she said a little bit too loudly how she was gonna go around the back and cut off Nick's water supply. Little did she know, Nick was within an earshot and heard her. We attempted to warn her but she left too quickly. So Niko made a plan how he would attack Nick as he was spraying Hannah with the hose. All in all, I do believe we defeated him. I am even proud to say that I kinked the hose once or twice, saving some of my people. Yes, it was a good fight- very amusing. Carly took lots of pictures-ahh...wet is sexy lol.

Late night basketball is quite invigorating and trying to eat chicken to the rhythm of Jurrasic Park music is pretty challenging. Brendan called me from Pride and I was really happy. I really wanted to go to pride but I didnt have a way to get there. I was really happy that we were both having a fun day, nonetheless. Chicago Pride- you and me, baby. It was wonderful how things turned out grand for the both of us and we both were able to have lovely days. I am really happy he had a good time and was able to meet intriguing new people.

Without repeating myself more, I was just happy all around. I was happy for me, I was happy for him, and I was happy for everyone else having a grand time that night. I don't know how else to emphasize it with sincerity. I was just exuberantly happy.

Kaitlen and Jessie remembered how I am really ticklish and tickled me a lot. I was going crazy because I even forgot exactly how ticklish I am. I won't say exactly where but they found one of my most ticklish spots and I was squirming like crazy.

Rachel took me home and it was fun. Fun night all around.

Sunday: I got really frusterated with my medicine cabinate and under my sink- so I cleaned it. I am talking taking everything out and putting all the things I dont want in a bin. I had two bins full of things I didnt want/were outdated. So it's all clean, organized, and I love it. Nothing is spilling out anymore. It's tidy and nice.

Then I took a shower. After that, Brendan called and he came over. We watched Signs. There is more to say because we had a very weird night. Everything that we did seemed to connect in some random way. It was startling after a while. I'll elaborate more later but I'm really hungry now and my tummy rumblings are distracting my mind.

More later, I s'pose. No, this is getting long. Just read his blog.

Tonight is a fem-a-thon at Vik's and we are camping out in her massive yard...excited I am!! Whee!!

Maybe we will have a bonfire and smores. Yum!

I eat food now.

Then play.

I hope everyone is having a lovely day today :)

Love to all and then some
