Feeling:
I haven't updated for a long time. But I've been trying to concentrate on this entry as so many things have been floating through my head. So many thoughts that I want to get down but haven't gotten around to.
Friday, school was a little hyped up; people were going to a College Career Fair, and I was supposed to go to Kohala for an Ensembles performance. But unfortunately Mr. Washburn had to cancel it the day before, disappointed the lot of the class. So I just went to my classes as the daily schedule had been planned. It was extremely boring. There was a Food Drive dance that day, that would happen when all the kids who went to the Career Fair would most likely attend or go to their 3rd and 4th period classes.
But just as lunch started I walked down with Tricia, because she had planned and asked me beforehand if I wanted to skip the last part of school, during the time the dance was taking place. I thought about it and was worried at first, being the little 'goody-goody' that I am and never even think of skipping class (with the exception of last year's ending of school). But she was so convincing and oddly enough I felt safe about it because you're either going to class or the dance, and if you're not in class the teachers will think you're at the dance so they wouldn't be taking attendance anyway.
So me and Tricia casually walked across the street from the school to the cafeteria and to the elementary teacher parking lot down to the Honokaa gymnasium, threw our stuff in the back of Tricia's truck, and were off. There were even some other people leaving just as we were. Obviously they didn't wanna stay at school either. And it struck us as funny because we just WALKED right off the campus, it was too easy!
Since we had a few hours to kill, Tricia took me to her house. Her ducks were wandering around on the road in front of her house and she tried to 'herd them in' with the truck. Then we went into her house and her dog didn't recognize me and was growling at me. But later on she got used to me and after that she was following me all around the house. Tricia fed her some peanut butter and it was so cute how Emily (her dog) was just licking and licking. Feeding your pets peanut butter doesn't hurt them, it's just a funny little thing.
Then I got to see Tricia's backyard, and we hung around there for while, which was nice and cool. Ah and she has such adorable cat, Mittens. We just sat around and watched the ducks, chickens, Emily, and Mittens around in the backyard. Then we went back inside and we watched the short movies that went along with the story of Diablo II. After we were done watching all of them we played a short racing game of which I had a hard time with the controller and which turned out that I like to drive my car up vertical buildings. But I got used to it. Then after we were done with that Tricia called up someone on her cell (couldn't hear the name..was it..Nikki?) and just as she was restarting her comp the whole thing shut down and we were both freaked out and I guess the power went out. So as an alternative Tricia decided we should play Boggle out on the front yard.
Did I mention how much I suck at games? Not computer or video games, like...board games and like? Well I guess I did ok for Boggle, 'cause I'm a faster learner at stuff. I saw Tricia's other cat (Scooby? argh, terrible at remembering names sometimes @.@ ) who is a soft black cat that likes to sleep and play around.
While we were playing Boggle it was so hilarious because Emily kept on coming over and lying down inbetween us right on top of the Boggle. (Lol, Boggle-butt...) so we played until about 2:15, then after Tricia let Emily back in the house she brought me home.
I gotta say I didn't feel so bad about skippin' a few classes during school. I mean, as long as I don't HAVE to go to class, and there's nothing to do, why should I stick around school and be bored? It's not like I wanted to go to that dance...the last dance we had, I heard my teacher and other students talking about the dance and how people are always dancing so close to each other you'll sweat and suffocate and how disgusting it is to rub up against sweaty people and you might catch a disease. Not to say that all dances are bad but what they said didn't make me feel better about it. I'm not going to pay $2 just to go to a dance that I probably won't dance half of the time anyway.
I had a better time staying at Tricia's house. I guess it's maybe about the 2nd time I've been there (maybe not) and I just love all of her pets even though I'm a tad allergic to dogs, but it really didn't bother me at all. She must have some pretty clean pets, hehe.
I didn't go through a guilt trip this time, Tricia...hehehehe... ;)
