Isn't it so beautiful? The piano! The music! Oooooh so wonderful!
The insane freshman about my height jumped insanely up and down in her mini-rave as I watched from the other side of the room, nearly succumbing to my usual social anxiety.
Yes, it is, I said. Then raising my eyebrows when the second raver began thumping the floor like a rabbit in euphoria. Very beautiful.
Yesterday, I had to attend Groove, a film on the rave subculture of San Francisc. It was somewhat disorienting for me. Most of all, I realized that I could that never personally survive the fast-paced, touchy-feely style of raves. yet Marisol's floormate Marisa went almost insane having a rave in her room. Becky and I mostly stood there kinda sorta embarrassed to wave our arms about and fly around the room randomly. Marisol seemed so willing to though. Eventually, we the four insane freshmen began really raving. Guys climbing the stairway stared us. They are insane.
I walked to my dorm alone in the dark at 10 PM.
Last night, two people fell asleep while writing to me. Worst part was...it almost occured simultaneously. I stared at the glowing screen for about nearly an hour, ready to vent my frustration on the wooden table. (But then again...during the wait, I actually created the graphics needed for my new webpage. it was a productive time) I think this proves that I really really really need real life stimulation soon.
[I wrote this part on an envelope and the back of a letter all from American Coed Pageants...which was addressed to my younger sister.]
I woke up suddenly at 9:15 AM. Something was gnawing at my mind and I didn't know what it was. The two roommates snored in their corners. Jenn's bed was empty with only folded sheets at the foot of her bed. The light from the morning sun filtered slowly through the curtained windows.
Inevitably, I spent the next two hours at the computer tyring to organize the plans for today. The server where I had been downloading an iso had become slow again. 3 k/s on a T3 line?!!! What's up with this? And I still needed 280 MB more.
Alston's IM window was still stagnant. Very untouched. In the same state. Did he or did he not?!
I gathered my things and was finally ready at 11:30 AM. I tapped my foot impatiently as a big TSK formed in my mind. TSK TSK TSK!
At 11:40 AM, i gave up and went downstairs. There he was wandering around outside. It was funny...he kept offering to hold my laundry bag, but being me, I refused to let anyone suffer under the 8 lb weight. We took the BART to Lafayette running down and up the stairs at MacArthur. Sigh, I really hate transferring trains! On the way to Lafayette though, silence cursed us. Loud loud silence. My sis picked us up at the BART and we went home listening to U2's With or Without You to have lunch.
When was the last time, I ever broke a promise? Nothing recent that I can possibly remember. Maybe I should have broken this one. I promised Alston that we would go shopping...and despite me being tired, we went.
We cruised around the parking structures for a good hour. Somehow, people just decided that today October 22nd would be the best day to shop. Eventually, I settled for illegally parking in a nearby hospital parking structure. Fortunately, most people of Walnut Creek believed that the extra three blocks from the plaza was too much. I easily found a parking space on the fourth floor.
Then major jump. My sis went to have a haircut. Alston and I fell asleep waiting for her. Dinner was weird. Sheesh food allergies alas! I personally can't believe that anyone could live without chocolate.
My interest is fading!!!
I think...I think...I ramble too much. I feel sleepy. I have been listening to the same dance/trance cd for the last two hours. It's about time I kick my sister out of my bed and declare it as my own.
