So, I don't exactly know what to write about, but everyone has been telling me to update, so maybe I'll write about my week so far. Don't worry, as objectively as possible. But then again, it was my objectivity that got me in this whole business to begin with.
I woke up Sunday Morning in the bonus room. Its got a nice couch, large flat-screen HDTV and computers. I prefer to sleep in there. Its almost nicer than my bed. The couch that is. I dare say I'd rather not sleep on top of the Television, no matter how bad I wanted to be on tv. Church started at 1, and choir practice was at 11. I got up at 10 and hung out a little. Not sure what I did, exactly. But I think me and Mom ate some food. Or maybe we talked the night before. I figured I'd go to choir practice, just for kicks. Also, because it was just across the street at the Brownell's house. When Mom told me it was at the Brownell's house, the night before, I just laughed. She asked why I was laughing (probably her number one most commonly asked phrases around me) and I told her it was embarrassing and I didn't want to say. But then she pressed and I relented and said I thought Danielle was really cute and she said "Well, I wondered if there was something there from the way you two facebook" and I was really confused because we don't, but then she said "She likes you" and I was like "Yeah, Mom, but she's 18 and still a senior in High School. Not exactly what I'm looking for right now".
So, I took the first shower since getting home and went to choir practice. I was going to sing tenor, but then thought I should sing bass because I always have. Brother Brownell was crazy and kinda mean, as ever, and we practiced two songs to sing that day at church. I messed up on when to breath once and he stopped to point it out to everyone.
Mom went to church before I did because she had a meeting, so I drove afterwards and showed up with -:30 left, so I was early. I sat down next to Mom. Then we sang. James Dalton was sitting next to Aric Johnstone and they just kept talking the whole time. Also, through Sunday School. Also, through Elder's Quorum. Then Church got over. I saw Melanie Boss. I don't know what she expects. We aren't real friends, yet. Just because she fbook chats me. And types so fast my eyes start bleeding trying to keep up. Also, I think after Sacrament Meeting, we went to the foyer and Shana Brown was walking in. She hugged Anders and talked to him. I decided to try my luck and walked up. She hugged me and we said hi and the three of us talked a little and then they were all like "Come caroling on Tuesday!" and I was like "Fine." Then, I left after church and got home. Also, we went and picked my Dad up from the Airport. He was in Dallas for his annual work meeting.
Sunday night is the next moment of importance. It was pretty late. Oh, also, before we went to pick my Dad up, Jenni and I talked on the phone and it was good. But then I had to eat dinner. She really likes home and I was mostly bored, so I didn't. She'd only left there four months ago, after all. I was a little more distanced. Then later that night I was on Fbook and she was on, too, so we started chatting and I was all about how life was so boring and I missed Provo. I was also talking to Shana Brown at the same time. And Nathan Pullman, I think. Then I was talking about how I missed Raage and Cole and then at the end I said, "Basically, I'm just trying to say that I miss you." Then after five minutes of no response I get a phone call from her. She says let's just be friends. I says "WTF, mate."
Then I watched "500 Days of Summer" on my laptop because my insides felt weird. I really wanted to be really sad. Also, I tried to find all the sad songs on my computer that I had. But none of these things made me really that sad. I really wanted to be sad, but I wasn't as sad as I thought I would be. Earlier that day I had saved the Dinosaur Comic at the top to my computer. I texted James and said that I win, Jenni is most like Summer. He conceded. I went to bed, anxious because I knew I should be sadder.
Monday, I went with Cory and Ryan geocaching. I fell in the crick. In spite of my waterproof boots that my mom had sent me three days before I left Utah and so I wore them the whole time just to make it worth her while to have sent them. But this was in Oregon. Then I tried to text Arabic Jenni about geocaching and how I was fine without a connection to her and she just said "Good, I'm glad you're happy because your status was telling me otherwise." It was basical the "I hope this means you're ready to be friends." Then she was all about when we were going to go geocaching. Then, that night we decorated the Christmas tree and I fell asleep in the bonus room again. The next day, Mom and I left the house at 9:00 ish to go to the Mall. We got me some christmas presents. Clothes. I'ma look real stylish when I get back. Arabic Jenni will be real sad she ever said those words. Also, Sarah asked me how it was going with Arabic Jenni, so I told her the story I wanted to be sad about and she leaked it to Mom. So Mom found out why I was going out of my way to be alone and lonely on Tuesday. She tried to give me a pep talk, but I feel so oddly about this situation that I didn't really want to listen to advice. We went to the Mall and that might actually be it. I was really lonely in Bed, Bath, and Body Works.
Then in the afternoon, James and Nami and I went to the Caroling thing. No Anders. No Shana Brown. The Bennions showed up and we sang only like 7 songs. It was really short and the version of the songs we had were way dinfrent from any version we were familiar with, so... but after that we went to Brother Ray's house and we had really super-saturated Hot cocoa and real sugary cookies. I just talked to James.
Then we went home and I watched the BYU/Oregon St. game until James and Aric came and picked me up at 7:30 ish. The time we were supposed to be at Caitlin Scott's thing. Then we got Ryan and we finally got there at 8:15, but it was okay because she was only in her first song. Cory Newtron didn't show up until the last song. He sat down and she said "Thanks for coming everyone." Then we talked to people and I saw Wade Willis and we talked about life. I've probably told people my plans for the future one hundred times this break. Week.
