Tuesday, after Civ Pro, I went to eat a late lunch with some friends. We went to this pizza place not too far off campus. I love going in cars when I don't have to drive. Sometimes you have perceptions of people in your head before you really get to know them, and most of the time, they are pretty off I think. We had a few interesting conversations, one about divorce and when girls came up, I mentioned how I think it is cool when you are dating a girl who likes to read (smart), who you can both read a book and then talk about it. Though this is secondary to the hot part, the guys seemed not to much care for that.
On the same topic, I don't know, I remember in high school picking up books a friend or girlfriend was reading and finishing them just so we could talk about them. Even to just complain that I didn't like it. I'm not talking book club type stuff, just casual conversations like when you talk about a really good movie. I love talking about movies with people, especially right after I see one. So it kind of hit me, that is something I would like, more so than a girl whose main thoughts centered on trying to show as much cleavage as possible and walk around wondering why guys can't see her for more than just a sex object. I've always enjoyed reading for my own entertainment (yet I don't like the actual work part of reading), but now I've kind of started to focus on reading more for learning and insight. Sucks though when I have questions and there is no one to talk to about them. I guess in general it is just nice to have friends to talk to about common interests or things going on in your life. I get a lot of that in law school cause we talk about law school stuff we read all the time, but there are times you just want to get away from all that.
Back to the lunch, so I broke away from my program for the first time in 5 weeks. Instead of the myoplex bar I was going to eat, I had a tuna sub with water. I had to fight the urgh to try the pizza, but they didn't seem to impressed either. It wasn't too bad, but they only had white bread. Jenny told me how she likes to study at Starbucks, a place I'd probably enjoy if I liked coffee. I just wouldn't feel right being there and not drinking coffee, but I'm just not a coffee person and considering it is not good for you, it is probably a good thing. Though, I might get more work done if I got out of the house to study in a relaxed place like that. Who knows, maybe I'll try it out sometime.
So I was talking to Terri and I was telling her how I wanted a Gmail account. I have wanted one since they day the google introduced it a long time ago. I tried to sign up for waiting lists and such, but to no avail could I get an account. I kind of gave up on it and decided to wait for the public release. Then I noticed Herbert had an account, I mean he probably didn't even care much for it, so I decided to put my mind to it and get one too. I told her it was my goal to get one by May (assuming I'd have to be on some sort of waiting list or something.) She of course laughed, telling me how many gmail invites she has gotten in the past and how she really doesn't care for the account. This probably explains why she didn't care much for my quest or incessive talk about it either. Well like two days later, last night, I saw Malak online and noticed she had a gmail account in her profile. I messaged her telling her I wanted one too. She told me she had invites and would invite me. I was excited, I mean now I would get invited and I might get an account in weeks or a month or something relatively soon. Well, I don't know crap about how this works, but I was able to get the account right then and there. Needless to say, I was pretty damn excited. Not really about the account because yeah, it really isn't too great, but more so because I met my goal in such a short period of time. I was in such a good mood, she put up this away message: "I just realized the power of GMAIL thanks to Marty :OP if anyone wants a gmail account, hit me up, 49 left (of 50)and they're going quick (not really...)" So yeah, well I don't care how easy they are to get, I got mine. Yahoo treated me well though and it doesn't change my email cause I still use my Cornell email for everything, since it forwards to wherever I want it anyway. Another goal, check.
Last night, I stayed up late, not really for a good reason, just couldn't sleep. It screwed up my plans to wake up early and go to the gym, so I decided to skip class. I drag myself out of bed and finally get to the gym to do my lower body day at exactly the same time I should be in Contracts. The cool thing was, that I saw a fellow classmate there who was working out too. I of course gave him shit for not being in class and we had a good laugh. The interesting part was that I had this weird feeling I would see someone from my class there. I changed over this week from machines to good old fashion barbell exercises. So today, I started squats for my quads. I'm usually good at them, but they feel like they take the effort of your entire body and really make you tired. It felt good though, even though my arms hurt a bit from getting used to holding the bar.
Sometimes it is hard not to let other people get you down. Hard to keep your good mood when theirs is more negative during that moment you interact. How do you weight something mean said to you? Should you cast it off and ignore it cause they are just being mean, or take the time to evaluate their comments and see if there is any validity. I never want to be in the ignorance is bliss group of people, so I kind of do a bit of both. No matter what course you take, coming out at the other end as happy as you were before is the true test. It is something I am still trying to figure out, or at least get better at. I need to stop being in bad moods around certain people too, you know without being fake.
I worry that I sometimes might accidentally repeat an intro quote. I keep them in a list and I read them over a lot to see what I am feeling that day, but I try to delete them once I have used them so that they don't get repeated. My system isn't full proof, so if you ever catch me repeating one, please let me know.
Today I got two phone calls on my cell phone from my own cell phone number. I didn't answer the first one, but I did the second one, but I didn't hear anything and I think it disconnected. Talk about weird. I wonder what it was? I hope I didn't get charged since I have moblie to moblie.
Speaking of moblie to moblie, why doesn't anyone in this world have Cingular? Everyone I talk to has everything else but. I have all these free minutes I could be using, but instead I'm wasting them on Sprint, Nextel, and Verizon people. And I wonder why I run out of minutes.
be who you are, I have no designs on changing you, I have my hands full dealing with myself.
