the diary of antoine roquentin

So I had a pretty fun night tonight. Brian called me and see what out with Katie who I adore but rarely see. Also, the last time we hung out it was kind of strange because this guy that she was dating was a big loser.

But she broke up with him and all is well in the universe. We went over to Katie’s house, had some gumbo, watched some Family Guy, and I kept texting jokes to Brian.

After that we headed down to visit Josh, this guy that we had met a while ago that works with Katie. Katie ended up locking her keys in her car so we spent about an hour trying to get it open again. Luckily, two good Samaritans showed up and finally got it open. It was amazing, this hispanic guy and this black guy working in the two front doors, with Brian, the boyfriend guy, and I working on the two backdoor with wire hangers that we had gone over and bought at Long’s drugs.

After it was all over, I took a picture.

After that, we went down to the Starbucks where Katie works. We all talked for awhile, and then Katie went and dropped everyone off. It was only about 10:30, but that’s very late for Katie. She has to get up and open the store at like four every morning.

So I’m making some food and Zero just called me, he invited me to this party. And normally I am not the kind of person that goes to parties, but it might be fun with Zero. And if not, I’ve got my own transportation, so I can head out the moment I’m bored.

In making this tortellini which takes like 20 minutes to boil… I’m just going to eat it half-raw, ’cause I’m hungry and I want something cool to happen tonight.

I want to have an awesome weekend. I went jogging this morning, I got up to 20 minutes. That’s like four laps around my block, which is friggin’ awesome.

I talked to Brian on Friday and he told me that he wasn’t mad at me just that he thought that it was very soon after Terry and that he didn’t approve of the way I went about it, whether it had been Zero or any guy.

I still think about Terry more than I should. It’s so easy to call someone a vacuous retail bimbo, but he satisfied a lot of my deep-seated needs… and he cute in this kind of dead-inside doomed my-mother-never-loved-me-so-its-impossible-for-me-to-form-real-relationships way… and when he had his mask on, he was very easy to get along with.

A month or two ago Christen was telling me that the only person that she ever saw me with where she felt like it was really my capital-B boyfriend was Adrian. When we hung out this one time on the roof of this parking structure, she was like “well… it was just kind of like you and me…and then this random other guy.”

So I guess Sam has a staph infection. He called me up all dramatically because he said I should get tested or some crap. I’m not sick. And he got it like a week after we made out. The weeklong interim involved him getting a tattoo and sleeping with some random Russian guy.

It’s so strange… many of my preconceptions that I had about Sam were actually true about Zero and all of my preconceptions about Zero were actually sure about Sam. I guess the moral of the story is that I have absolutely no clue how to read people.

I’m not really in the mood to go out to party, but I never am. Well, I used to have a lot of fun of the parties that Kelly used to have at our house, but mostly because those were all my really close friends at the time.

He just called me and he’s there and I just finished my food, so I’m going to eat and then head out.

MMm….steamed vegetables and tortellini.

I need to overcome my shyness and be one of the cool kids. :P
