a bowl of sogging cereal in my lap, a black sequin bra and two scarves wrapped around me coz all my clothes are being laundrered, a really bad lifetime movie about two girls with anorexia on the telly and a smelly jar of bleach in my hair is all a girl need on a sunday, isn't it? if it weren't for the hair change i might as well been comatose all weekend because i have very little to show for it except some time spent in good company, anger that i bought a gorgeous gold top and lost it and the phrase "turning japanese" in faded ink written on my left hand. ("i think i'm turning japanese/i think i'm turning japanese/i really think so" - the vapors) as i got to class (wearing soggy wet clothes because the dryer broke [or my more popular theory, somebody stopped my machine after i left, took out my clothes, put in their own and used up my dollar of drying time, then put mine back, removed the lint and had me come back to find soaking wet clothes]) i was asked twice what colour my eyes are. both persons swore that my eyes look clear (transparent) with yellow flecks and it was freaking them out. i don't know if that effect is worth holding on to the blonde hair for, but it was fun. whatever. i've most hung around the school paper office. i know that noone here even knows where this journal is, but all of a sudden it feels like they read the sulky whiny entry i had up a week ago about not feeling apart of the office because all afternoon has been pranks -i've been thwapped with newspapers, poked in the ear ["you're lucky i didn't lick it!"] and overall been teased with. part of the jolly feeling was deifnitely that some major journalistic journal is doing a piece on us and we had the assignment to lounge around the office and take a ton of pictures. it was so weird seeing all the staffers pile around for a group picture and then yell for me to join in. i still feel like a fringe person. i have a feeling i always will. and still. i'm in the group picture. who'da thunk it? tomorrow i'm invited to go see "black and white" that is opening up and then take part in a group discussion at IHOP afterwards that will be taped and then turned into a movie review for our paper. i suppose what i'm trying to say is that i still am the geek in the corner, and i think i always will be, but if given a chance i can slowly grow into the group picture. or something. hello? [tap, tap] is this thing on? am i channeling full house or something? hell if i know. anyhow. from my corner to your corner... never sneak up on me and poke a wet finger in my ear!!!
