So first of all, Leslie is cool. We like Leslie. That is all. Not really though. I am gonna do one of those nice long "let me write a little message to all my wonderful friends" posts here in a couple days. So you'll read more about Leslie then. But because she's commented twice now, we like her.

Things are starting to return to normal. And I'm not sure how I feel about that. I mean, normality and routinity (yes, I made that one up myself!) are nice, comforting even. It will be wonderful to get back into the groove of school, to wake up at the same time, go to bed at the same time, stumble into APES first period, leave for lunch, skip and jump into DJ's class, lay around during strings, etc. Ok, to be quite honest, the best part of all that will be DJ's class. But that's besides the point. The point is, that will all be nice. It will be normal. I'll get a job (hopefully at Starbucks), go to concerts, maybe go to class Saturday mornings, go to football games, hopefully dive, etc. I like all that and I like it all in routine. But the fact remains, I had myself a nice little routine at GSW too. It may not have been home, but it was definitely routine. I woke up at the same time, went to class at the same time, ate with the same people, hung out with the same people, stayed up with the same people, went to bed at the same time. I mean, the only non-routine part of GSW for me was where I slept (yeah, the last couple nights, I slept in Hanes, on Emily's floor, on Neda's floor, in the hall twice, once on my bed for 4 hours and then not at all)!

In other news, I went to see Pirates of the Carribean last night with Anna (or as Jess says, Carrots of the Pirrabean. Or Parrots of the Cirrabean). Oh my dearestness! Or as I said to Mego, good-frickin-ness! No, I'm not talking about how incredibly wonderful looking Orlando Bloom was. Yes, that was very much the case. But as so many people have been saying, Johhny Depp was an amazing! Definitely one of the best acting performances I've seen, if not ever, then in a long time. It's so incredibly hard to understand unless you've seen it. So if you haven't, go! Really though, that boy blew me away. I'm gonna have to see it several more times. And I will certainly be owning it too!
Anna and Jess also came over tonight. That was a wonderful surprise! I was in Mike's room talking to my mom about getting my lunch pass taken care of (stupid notary crap) and I heard voices calling my name from the foyer. So, I went into the hallway and there they were! It was especially nice since I wasn't expecting them, and I was sad about having to spend the evening at home and I had been meaning to call Jess all day! Yay! So we walked back to Anna's and Deidra was there. So we did the required "Ice, Ice Baby" dance and Mrs. Wolfe thought we were incredibly silly. And then we played the self-confidence game while laying under Anna's sacred blue blanket. And that somehow turned into our singing "Three Blind Mice". Except that instead of singing it "They all ran after the farmer's wife, who cut off their tails with a carving knife", we sang it "They all ran off with the carver's wife, who cut off their nails with a barbie knife". Sillyness, sillyness. That led to more sillyness and just an overall wonderful time. Yay for that!
