Another Boring Weekend Ahead
Friday, Feb. 15, 2002 09:40

I have to say, of all the attempts I have made to entertain myself here in Boston, the most rewarding activity so far has simply been sitting in the lobbies of speare and stetson east watching the olympics with Robin. Coming in second to that would probably be going for that long walk with Robin and Katie, coming in third would probably be Thursday night TV and chinese at Casey's. So yup, I'm a simple person. And I enjoy being a simple person, but I greatly wish there were more people around here that were more like me. They exist...they're just few and far between. On that note, it makes me sad that Robin is probably going to transfer. It's not that she is a close friend that knows me inside and out or anything like that. It's just that she is so much like me in so many ways. And that's not something I have seen a lot of here at Northeastern. I am a weird kid! I don't belong in this community.

But yeah, the olympics, that was my original topic. I love olympic figure skating. I can not WAIT to watch the women skate. They skate Tuesday and Thursday. The only problem with that might be that I am supposed to be spending Thursday night in Gloucester with Linda. I could always tape it, but that would be quite silly, since the whole reason I get so excited about it is the suspense, the excitement, the emotional reaction of the skaters, and just everything. It's definitely something that is special because it all happens in the moment. So, watching it taped would pretty much ruin that. Plus, NBC has this wonderful (not) way of dragging it all out and making you wait for it. It's effective, incredibly effective, but it makes it so you are forced to sit in front of the TV for like 4 hours. Hehehe. It was actually pretty funny....we sat in front of a tv for 3 hours last night that wasn't even in our own building. The CR probably thought we were nuts. hehehe.

So, if I can possibly coerce Linda to watch it, then I will be good. But then again, it's not even her tv...so I don't know. And then...there is always the fact that Linda tends to not go through with anything, so who knows if it will even happen? And the shitty part is that I probably won't know until like Wednesday.

I wonder how winter carnival activities day is going. I miss Floyd. I say that really often. But it is definitely true. I don't get a whole lot of interaction with her. Not nearly as much as with most of my other friends, unfortunately. And Maggie too. I talk to her just about every 2 weeks or so, if that. Usually less often, I think. bah!

So, yeah, I'm glad I chose the olympics. I will have to ask Beck how the poetry reading thingy went. Hopefully it was not all DMB covers as usual. Hmm, now I have an uneventful weekend to look forward to. Ick. I shall have to find things with which to occupy myself. I'm afraid that my 1-2 page modern novel paper isn't quite going to do it. What teacher wants a 1-2 page paper? It's ludicrous!

Ugh, I'm tired. It's going to be an early bed time for me tonight, most likely.

Yuck. I was thinking about calling Robin later and finding out what she's doing...it's like I want to hang out with her all the time. But that makes me feel very much like a little tag-along or something. I don't know. I'm constantly afraid that I like people more than they like me...or that I'm just annoying to them. Bleh.

I just made a new screen name, for the heck of it, because I felt like it. It's like I double meaning type thing...very corny, kinda fun though, and it will probably just be added to my list of other screen names that I never use, but who knows?

Gotta go to the bathroom, but I'm in work study and some kids are playing pool. I will wait until they finish. I have lots of time. yeah, so now you know the reason for this being so long and rambly...I'm in work study. And that's just how life is when you are sitting behind a desk with nothing significantly better to do. Uuuuh. I was going to write letters. Maybe I'll do that now.
