Her Smiling Eyes

Monday, November 28, 2005

For a Monday, today I was genuinely happy.
Maybe it is because the Renaissance Project is officially over as of this morning.
Or maybe it is just because.
Well, I am sure the lack of project has something to do with it, but other than that, I had a really wonderful day today.

I also had a really wonderful weekend. Thanksgiving was grand. I didn't eat as much as I thought I would (never do, ze eyes are too big for ze stomach). But I got my taste of thanksgiving fixings out of my system for a while now with that so good stuff.

I saw RENT con Brendan and Mrs. Stanley. Haha :D It was very, very good. I am actually doing a monologue from it for Drama. Or a song, rather.

Friday I went to Tina's and we did homework, goofed off, and then watched Hamlet. It pays to be nerdy, as you will see later in this post. But I really would have rather watched Notting Hill. I heart that movie.

After that, Brendan came over mi casa and we watched Garden State. I love that movie as well. For some reason, though, it was funnier than ever that night. I never realized how quirky and random it is until I saw it again with Bren. But that's why I love it so much, the quirky and randomness.

Saturday I went to a thanksgiving reenactment party, and that was bitchin'. I was able to bust out my indian duds and such...gotta love it.

Sometime during the weekend, though I forget which day, Brendan and I did the usual and watched/laughed at the religious television shows. Oh goodness, the people on those shows...hysterical! I am making a comic book of all our sketches we make of the crazy looking folks on some of the shows. It's good stuff.

Sunday, Renaissance, bitches! Gotta love it!

Actually, I did thoroughly enjoy some of the poems/essays we had to read. They really made me think and brought up interesting discussions. I talked to Tina about Utopia for two hours, then I went to her house and we talked about it more as well as the poetry.

I'll put some of my favorites on here. I actually got so into analyzing these poems that I thought about finding poems on my free time and analyzing them. I enjoy understanding things in a deeper than just scraping the surface. I like to understand the deep, inner-meaning of the poem. It's so interesting to me.

Brendan and I both had papers to do yesterday so we tried to keep each other motivated and such by talking to each other throughout the process. No dice. Note to self: cannot talk and type papers...can only focus on one thing at a time.

Three hours of sleep...tends to be more like a nap.

My Monday started out like a typical MOnday--something fortunate happens and instead of being able to enjoy it, I suck at life and forget my Hamlet book when she lets us read the section before our quiz. My luck, you know? But then, my luck (in a positive, less sarcastic manner)! Tina had me watch Hamlet and I totally owned that whole discussion/quiz because of it. I didn't read, but I saw it in the movie. So SCORE.

Everything is a blur until Finite, where I completely passed out on my desk and woke up with the man spraying my face with a squirt bottle. My face was dripping wet by the time he was done, as well as my desk. WTF, mate? It's all good though.

I talked to Hannah after government and we are going to be hanging out hopefully Friday. Yo estoy pumped porque...it's been waaaaaaay too long. I heart my Hannah Banana :D

Tina and I are going to hang out sometime this week as well (and hopefully we'll be watching Notting Hill this time...)

Oh, and we were goofing off because I got the door open after she was holding it shut and she smacked my arm. ON BARE SKIN! And let me tell you, it was one of those smacks where it sounded like the lashing of a whip. After hearing/feeling it, I knew I was going to have a hand print on my arm. And sure enough, her four fingers were imprinted neatly across my bicep with red flaring all around it...red flares of PAIN. Crazy ho...I only jest.

Then Katie, Kev, and I just goofed off for the remainder of the day. I don't know, I just had so much fun. And then when I got home, I went to Butera to get apples and granola bars (I know...I'm turning into a health freak...) and I SWEAR Holli Schram was assorting apples in produce. I didn't want to see her and just not acknowledge her personally so I walked up to her and said "Hi Holli!" But when she looked up, I realized that it was not Holli and I was like "Oh, I'm sorry...I'm just gonna..go...yea...have a nice day!" :::runs to find bag of apples on other side of produce...:::

I napped just as long as I slept that night and then I did homework. Now I am enjoying freetime before bed.

I want to write more but I am far too tired. So I will bid the world adieu and sink into my bed where I can float into another land or let my imagination take me away...sweet dreams.
