I went out with my friend's parents to a wine tasting place and they just loaded up a card with near a 100$ on it and let us have at it. You got 2 oz. at a time and some of the 2 oz. were upwards of 10 dollars!! We felt like we were high-rolling, let me tell you. We sat outside in the downtown of Indy, listening to homeless saxophonists and eating fancy cheese and watching the sunset fade from the sky, reflected in the glassy facades of skyscrapers. And I. Got. Drunk. Lemmetellyouwhat.
Either way, I woke up today with a hangover that morphed into a migraine that wouldn't go away until about 7 pm tonight. Waking up was nice though, lying in the sunlight in just a tank top and undies, listening to my cat purr, wrapped in my blue-green-and-turquoise sheets knowing I have very few mornings left like this--because I'm moving in with the bf and because I hopefully will have a job soon.
Not soon enough though. Today I was also waiting around for the call from the place I interviews at on Monday. No call. So I read Divergent. Like the entire book. There are few things I'm good at and here they are (some, at least):
- Reading fast. Today I read 487 pages in a day and a half. I bought the book (by one Veronica Roth) yesterday at about 3 pm. and didn't get to read it until I got home at 11:30 pm. Being smashed, not much reading occurred. This might be a new record. Previous records are Harry Potter 4 in 4 days, Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare in 3 days (that's two full study and work days too, and spending time with Bogey), and Harry Potter 7 in less than 12 hours, spread over 2 days. So I read fast.
- I also have an insanely accurate memory for dates, names, characters, book and film plot lines, historical facts, quotes, and basically what happened at any one time. I remember my life well. How to do math... no so much.
- Being clumsy--not to the point where I break bones, but bad enough that I ruin shirts, carpets, other people's clothing, dishes, my ankles or knees... Safe to say I both bruise easily in the sense that my skin bruises easily and I run into a lot of things. Easily. My friends called me Rube for awhile. After Rube Goldberg. The dude who invented contraptions like the one you find in the game Mouse Trap. Or the OK GO music video. Something happens to make something happen to make something happen over there. When I run into a table on one side of the room, I make things fall on the other side. Maybe I'm just telekinetic and don't know it.
- Typing. I type pretty fast.
- Creating stories. Finishing them is something I am attempting to learn how to do. But I write all the time, and I might've mentioned it before, so if I have, ignore this I guess, but I fill up notebooks with writing my own stuff, not notes in class. the back of the notebook fills up and meets with the notes sections, so that I run out of paper fast. I have crates of notebooks and in this upcoming year, my homework is to type up the important parts of those notebooks. I also have a weird process, maybe because I learned how to write stories on my own, just like how I pronounced integral wrong most of my life because I read alone. But when I have an idea, I start a story and I'll write on it when I have ideas, but if I'm feeling the other stories more, I'll write on those and so I jump around, never really finishing anything. Luckily, many of my stories have more ideas attached to them now as I've grown up--meaning endings. I just have to write the in-between stuff and focus on just one story, not 30.
- Talking. I tell stories because I want people to laugh at what I laughed at, even if they're laughing at me. I like sharing my life story. I talk and talk and talk and because of this, I'm personable, but I'm also incredibly rude sometimes and interrupt constantly. I'm trying to work on it. It's hard.
