Pointless drivel, par for the course

So I am feeling better today. Yesterday was weird. I was just sad. I think that mall shooting just really got to me.

Shopping was, as expected, unproductive. I went to several stores and ended up with nothing. Who wants to do my shopping for me? I'll reward you handsomely!

Today is going to be a good day. I am going to go see "The Golden Compass" (I am geekily excited for this - I f-ing loved those books, though given my reactions to all my other beloved books being adapted - "Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "The Dark is Rising" and so on, that might not be a good thing) and then FORMAL! With that stupid boy! Whom I actually like.

That is very strange. He's the first person who seems like he would actually be a good match for me. I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but it's been a really long time since I've been interested in someone. I mean really interested. As in more than the passing, "Oh, yeah, I suppose I'll date him." type of thing I usually do. How weird. Though I'll probably be as emotionally distant as ever and doom this thing to crash and burn before the sun ever rises on 2008.

Ah, well. I'm just hoping tonight goes well. It should, even though my friends are being fobnoxious a-holes right now(fobnoxious = fucking + obnoxious. Coined just for Einstein). Well, my sorority sister friends are. My normal friends are just fine. The idiots I'm going to dinner and the dance with = fobnoxious idiots. other than my stupid friends, another possible wrench in the works is my clusterf#$* problem. I haven't had one since last Saturday (woot!). I think that means I'm out of the danger zone and can therefore drink alcohol! For the first time EVER at a sorority social event. Only problem is, I'm still on blood pressure medicine. I popped the last pill just last night, in fact. And it says that drinking alcohol on while one this medicine may cause dizziness and drowsiness. Okay, I'm a fricking lightweight and after two drinks I'm holding onto the walls while I walk anyway. I get dizzy when I drink. But I'm still drinking tonight, damn it. I am determined. We'll see how this turns out. Hopefully, not with me puking on that stupid boy and asking him to stop the spinning.

Maybe that stupid boy will even earn himself a real nickname tonight! We shall see.

In the meantime, today would go from being a good day to a really great day if I could manage to get one of my papers written before the movie. We shall see. I'm not holding my breath.
