So - I was walking down the street today when Nick came over to say hi. Nick is ultra cool, and I always feel kind of awkward talking to him because he looks like he's the King of the fabulous troglodites. Plus his favorite books are The Idiot by Dostoyevski and The Phantom Tollbooth, so naturally I'm a little intimidated by the fact that he is both good looking (in a creepy way) and intelligent. I can't figure out why I don't have a crush on him - he's got all the attributes I generally fall for..what with the brain and all. *shrug*
So anyway Nick starts telling me about the film Ginger Snaps 2 - which is better than Ginger Snaps (which was really good) and the whole time he's talking to me I'm trying to pass myself off as being worthy of the attention, but I'm completely embarassed because I'm wearing a t-shirt that says ROCKSTAR across my chest in huge white letters with rhinestones. Did I mention that Nick is studying fashion design? I'm really trying to hold up my end of the conversation - but it's getting harder and harder for me to convince myself that I don't look like a total doofus, so I make up some lame excuse and leave.
Anyway he probably thinks I'm an idiot now... and not in a clever Dostoyevsky referencing kind of way.
Sorry that story wasn't more exciting - it sums up my day to day existence pretty well though. Hope you find it adequately entertaining.
LOL, I went to bed at 9pm. The most interesting thing I did was have Jim get Alex up at midnight, dose her w/ Benedryl, and have her jump in bed with us so I could prop her up enough so she could sleep without hacking up a lung.
