A gramme is better than a damn! *giggle*

Didn’t do too good on my Religions of the World test–I haven’t gotten it back yet. I really haven’t been posting in this at all–I’ve been using my video diary in my room a lot more. Jordan and I had a fun weekend, I got the check from my mom to go to the doctor and cashed it today. Jordan and I almost got swept out to sea at Endert’s beach–well not really, I almost got my camera wet, but it’s the same thing. Um…we were going to go camping there yesterday but Daniela didn’t want to go so we didn’t. It was a good thing, after Duckman I studied cellular respiration for like an hour. I really get it. I should probably get ahead of the game and study photosynthesis, but the CD-ROM is in my computer at home. Maybe I’ll skim it. I wrote Kelly an e-mail and got a Mountain Dew, so today is going to be cool. Got $50 in my wallet, it’s sunny (amazing) and all my friends are here (Casey is back from Costa Rica). Funness. This is the “good life” I’ve been striving for. Is it all I want and more? Eh… I’m not sure. Happiness just seems hollow. Hmm. I wrote Christine an e-mail a few days ago asking for my SLC Punk DVD back, she hasn’t replied. I’ll call her later in the week if I can’t get ahold of her via e-mail. I’ve been meditating on the nature of friends, and why I haven’t resumed contact with Christine, and all I can get is a kind of “why bother” answer. I mean, Christine was really fun and is a cool person, and so is Danielle, but their lifestyle requires a kind of doublethink that I don’t subscribe to. And my lifestyle requires doublethink that they don’t subscribe to. I used to think that you could be friends with anyone, that the common human condition was enough to tie people together. Now I know that’s not true. I need to try to be friends with people who share similar values. Saw Alexis, she’s decided to go to trade school because she can’t pass any of her classes. I think that’s really cool. Everybody’s good at something–and I completely don’t mean that in a condiscending way. There’s a completely different part of the brain that learns concepts and that learns how to do things. I hope she does well. She says she wants to be an electrician. It’s lamentable that there is a very large mathematical component to that trade. Oh well. She hasn’t done research yet, when she does she’ll probably find something that seems suitable. Hm. 1:00. Thirty minutes until class. Perhaps I’ll go socialize. Yeah, I’ll go out into the courtyard and read The Plague. Glorious. I haven’t read for days. Oh, Kelly wrote me an e-mail and she used the glorious phrase “Emotionally challenged.” That is so true. There are intellectually challenged people, there must be emotionally challenged people. Taggart would so be the perfect example. I wonder if he reads this. I don’t think he cares enough. Oh, I’m going to move where this blog posts to, just to eliminate certain readers. I can’t agonize over every word just because my ex-friends know where this is. I’ll make a new blog that posts here saying “E-mail me at darius_capulet@hotmail.com to get the new address.” I hope that will work. Well, off to read.
