Not Your Average Jane

So I’ve been thinking about the whole Lent thing this morning…. I still don’t whether I’m supposed to give something up or not… And I can’t think of anything to give up… Men? That would last like 2 seconds, IF that… Dr Pepper? Tried it and failed… A couple of times… Sweets? I don’t really eat enough to really care either way… Chocolate’s nice and all but I can live without it for long periods of time. And as I understand it the purpose of Lent is to give up a bad habit you’re fond of. I could give up the History Channel, but that’s kinda like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Seriously I think I may have learned more from that channel than I ever learned in any of my history classes… Prolly cuz the History Channel doesn’t test you and make you memorize dates in chronological order. For a person (me) who sucks with numbers and memorizing ANYTHING in general that was hell… Why do you think almost all the phone numbers I have are programmed into my cell or in an address book? Simple. There’s only like 5 of em I got memorized, either because those people (my 2 sisters, my mom, the townhouse, and my cell) have either a. had those numbers for a while, b. I call a lot or c. so I can check my voice mail from another phone or give it out ;0) . Seriously, when I was in school, it wasn’t hell, but it wasn’t exactly the best of times for me. Not until I got into college I had no idea how to most effectively study or take notes. I pretty much developed my own way of studying (that didn’t really take root til my last 2 or so years of college) and notetaking… Yeah I still can’t really do that, but that’s more because of the ADD… Actually, there were a few classes in high school I did really well in without even really trying… Marine science my senior year… THAT was fun… Smith to this day is still one of my more entertaining teachers that really motivated me to learn and I enjoyed the subject so it wasn’t really hard. And for some reason Geometry… I suck at math but somehow (again prolly cuz the teacher was a fun guy) I made a semi decent grade without trying… Rather shocking, at least for me…
Totally lost the point of what I was talking about, so I’ll talk about last night instead… I got to Blanco’s a lil after 9 and I was shocked at how few people were there (I felt bad leaving after an hour, since there were only like 12 people and it felt like every person counted). I also found out Mark’s doing the Thursday night thing there too and I had a passing thought I’d go there instead of the Firehouse but that was just a passing thought… I have more fun at the Firehouse and its $2 beer night and its Brett and Magee so I can’t miss that… So yeah last night… So I got a beer (for some reason the Coors Light tasted like soapy water and I decided to randomly share that via text message to half a dozen people I know) and go to watch Mark… Now be prepared for the really shocking part… I didn’t want to molest him in any way… He’s just an attractive guy that I know that plays music now… Wow, who’da thunk that’d happen? Certainly not me… (and prolly not Richelle either… Right, Chelle? Lmao…) So I left a lil after 10, got home about 10 30 and I was in bed by 11…. I haven’t seen midnight, let alone 2 am in a while… I’m almost floored by that… But I will tonight and tomorrow night for shizzle…
Another observation I made this morning… Benji reminds me a lot of Brian Burke… Such a sweetie, but he can have his wild moments…. (Catholic boy gone bad… Hehehe…) And I think he may have been telling me the truth (Benji not Burke) about not having ever done ‘the deed’. He doesn’t have the… not aura… not confidence… Though those could apply too… He just doesn’t have the same… skills as most guys I know… It could be the small town thing, or it could be the adolescent way he says he loves his girlfriend… He’s got an inflection in his voice that reminds me of a lil boy with his first girlfriend… But yeah, physically he reminds me of a lil of Burke too…. Tall, dark hair, can play guitar and he likes to give me shit… But then who doesn’t? I can take it and dish it out, no biggie…
Man, that Pei Wei was GOOD last night… I was going to eat my leftover stuff from Black Eyed Pea but mom had Pei Wei and offered it to me… And who am I to turn down Pei Wei? :0)
I can’t believe I’m listening to Matchbox 20… I haven’t busted out with this stuff in forever and a day… But I wanted something rock ish (not NIN rock more like this or Aerosmith rock) and I got it… So I won’t complain…Yeah I think I’m now officially out of stuff to say… At least for now….
