Wow. I never realized how boring a weekend without an Internet connection could be ... Ah, the beauty of living in the digital age, I guess.
The boy said we "have to do something together" during March break ... I don't want to seem all commitment-ish or anything, but I'm pretty sure he likes me. You know, as more than a friend and everything. Of course, that last statement sounded a little tiny bit like I was twelve years old and an actress on "Degrassi Junior High", but anyways ... He still makes me melt when I talk to him, it's funny. It's kind of different than the way it's portrayed in the movies, but it still feels just really nice.
Nowadays it's not even WORTH trying to deny that me and the boy are dating to anyone at school, because god forbid they might believe me for once. This guy in class was really mad at the boy, and he turned to me and said "I'm going to kill your boyfriend." It was kind of outta the blue, and I've barely ever spoken to him before, so it confirmed my suspicions that EVERYONE thinks we're dating now, regardless.
On Saturday I skipped my music theory class. I actually told my dad it was cancelled, because I wanted to sleep in and, frankly, I think I can afford to miss ONE. One girl has missed more than half of them since the beginning of the term. Not that I like to lie to my parents, but all I wanted was my saturday morning back. I don't think it was so bad.
Instead my dad took me to Empire Auctions and the antiques Market in Decarie Square. Empire was nice, lots of furniture to look at. My dad always whines when we go there because most of the stuff they have on display isn't even OLD, it's faux. All of the actually old quirky stuff has long since been sold off. I say, it looks nice, it looks old, and all we're doing is looking at it ANYWAY, so why complain?
The antiques market was the same deal. Nothing of particular interest. The last time I was there was when I was a lot younger. I went with my dad and he bought me a glass paperweight with a pretty design inside. It was kind of cool to look at all the jewelry though. Every self-respecting flea market stand owner has one of those display cases with jewelry in it, and everyone I encounter I take a glance at. As a girl, I think it's my God-given right to stare at shiny things. Plus, I'm still looking at prom jewelry, and I want something REALLY nice. And there was some nice things, but nothing extraordinary, as I said. The only thing of interest was the bird that had somehow got stuck inside and was flying around the rafters. Poor thing.
I spent the rest of my Saturday listening to my Simon & Garfunkel CD and dancing in front of my mirror. There were a lot of songs I knew. And don't act so surprised, I know I'm only 16 and therefore too young to know songs by S&G, but my mother is a folk singer and I grew up listening to all of these songs. There are a lot of songs I heard for the first time, and really loved. Like "Keep the Customer Satisfied", which is a really great upbeat song. For some reason "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" and "Bleecker Street" also struck a chord with me, they are really nice, slow, rainy day songs.
Also "For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" is a song with GREAT lyrics. Seriously. Either they have really great vocabulary, they were high, or they wrote this song with a Thesaurus, but it shows that they put actual thought into the words they used. I like that. Music these days doesn't always have that, except the occasional Coldplay or Train song.
They have a Fido commercial running nowadays with a really cool song. I'd heard it before, I knew, so I asked my mom what it was. It turned out to be "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum. A fairly old song (60s, if I'm not mistaken?), and it's also very beautiful. Moving, really. It's a sad-ish sounding song and I'm not at all in a sad mood, but somehow it still fits.
I spent my Sunday sleeping/driving just out of town to see the youth orchestra my sister plays in. It was good, as good as classical music gets, anyways. Not that there isn't ANY good classical music, but you have to know the story of it to really appreciate it, and unfortunately they didn't really supply that.
My cegep application is all done, all I have to do is mail it now. That's a major relief, I keep being stressed about it ... it's better now.
I have PLENTY of homework for tomorrow, but I haven't done ANY, because that's the way I am. Bleh. I should've, really, but I didn't. So all my breaks tomorrow will probably be spent doing that ... Ick.
See you around.
