"Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section of my local bookstore..."

I was in a good mood all Monday. Not that it's rare for me to be in a good mood, that happens quite often. But to be insanely jolly an entire day with nothing exciting to encourage it, that's the weird bit.
I TaeBoed at 2:00 a.m. because I couldn't sleep and I was watching TV and practically all that was on was infomercials for excersize videos/equiptment. Guilt trip.
I eventually went to bed just after 3:30 and got up again at around 9:00. I TaeBoed again at 11:30 til my dad picked me up. We went to the BYU Bookstore. It was my first time there, ever. Nothing too exciting. Overpriced goods and stale candy. Yipee!
I bought some candy (hopefully not of the stale variety) for Deborah. Dad and I went by her house so Dad could stalk the guy nextdoor (Hahahaha! No, he was just watching them clean out the house 'cause he and mom bought it.) Then we went to work. That was uneventful.

I got home just after 6:00. At 7:15 we left for FHE at the Higginson's house. Our lesson was on choosing to be happy in all situations. Then we played SPOONS. I got to SPOON and asked if we could spell out SPOONILICIOUS instead. 4 out of the 7 people laughed, Yay! A new kid beat me to the final S, thank goodness. After eating two Krispy Kremes (thank goodness for the obsessive TaeBoing earlier in the day!) we left. On the way home, while in the car with The Roomies, I realized a strange love I have: Gas Stations. Luv 'em. Fountain drinks, random candy, and tree-shaped air fresheners, what more can you ask for? I realized this because we had to stop for gas and I got REALLY excited. Like put-your-shoes-on-in-anticipation excited. I bought a 44 oz Dt. Pepsi & Dt. Mountain Dew concoction and a giant Lolly for Deborah. :) Two candies in one day for Deborah? Man! If only other people got as excited about food as she did I could spend my money equally.
After we got home K asked me to cut her hair. Yay. I gave her some fun fun fun layers that should look really cute with her growing-out perm. I also converted her to Eric D. Snider's "Will Make Jokes for Food" CD, so that is one less thing I will get glares for by playing loudly.

At about 12:15 Sarah called. I was downstairs waterpainting again. This time I was painting random objects then writing funny things Sar was saying on the phone around them. We got some interesting quotes like:
"My oilpainting class starts tomorrow...maybe we'll have nude models!" -Sar
"I always got marriage proposals from men with illegitimate children who really needed to go to drug rehab!" -Sar
"Does he realize I am a 6'2" 300 pound sexy beast?" -Me after being encouraged to like Sar's guyfriend, Shawn.

Then she and Danielle came over at 12:50-ish. They sat talking on the couch while I continued painting. I got some more funny quotes from them during that:
"An knife-throwing Albino, you don't see that everyday!" -Sar
"Oh, is that a boy? I thought it was a black woman!" -Danielle
"Remember the myth that Mike & Ikes boxes made good whistles? I thought it was just my inadequacies." -Sar
"How can I respect you when you are wearing hoop earrings, Sir?" -Sar

At 1:40 we decided to go to Wendy's. While in line Sarah and Danielle were trying to look at the guys in the Jeep behind us. It's lights were incredibly bright plus Sarah's back window was too dirty as well as the Jeeps front windshield, so they couldn't see very well.
After getting our food they decided to pull into a parking spot next to us, turn around, and drive past the Jeep again, so they could get a better view. While doing this maneuver, the driver of a Camry behind the Jeep yelled to Danielle, "What?" She replied, sheepishly, "I didn't say anything."
As we were going through the intersection of University Blvd and University Ave the Camry pulled up next to us and said to Danielle, "I think you should follow us." Or something dumb like that. Being the boy-crazy, short, skinny, cute, annoying girls that they are- we followed the Camry. They were parked and waiting for us in the Taco Bell lot. As we drove up the driver got out and walked over. His name is like Chad or something, whatever. He shook our hands and introduced himself. After talking with Sarah and Danielle (with a TON of annoying giggling going on on their part) he handed his phone to them and asked them to put in their names and numbers so he could "set up a structured date" Because "people always say 'lets hang out' or stuff but never structured dates." I have to give him credit for seeming like an actually nice guy, but to flag down a car of girls and tell them to follow you so you guys can talk?! Bad teen movie, in my opinion. Blech. Ok, ok, maybe Honeyman's right. Maybe I am too cynical. Hahahaha.
As we were driving away I piped up from the backseat with, "Oh! So that's how the pretty people mate!" They both laughed. I'm 2 for 2!

J. left for work before I went to bed, again. She thinks it's "so funny". I think she needs to shut up because I have a social life (as lame as it may be) and she goes to work at 3:30 a.m.!

I've been in a very Duncan Sheik-y mood today. "Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section of my local bookstore" is in Bite Your Tongue of the album "Humming". (yeah, i never know which is "" and which is italicized, sue me.)

I GOT MY FIRST SPEEDING TICKET EVER TODAY! To others this may not be a big deal, but I was FREAKING OUT. I bawled for a good three or four minutes after getting home. I know it's not a big deal and everyone gets them, but I was completely shaken up. I'll be 20 in a month, so I think that was a good record.
