6:53 a.m. // this is my reality \\
We were planning to go to Sushi on 7 for lunch, which didn't open til 11.30, and Chloe's mom was gonna pick her and her cousins up and drop them off, but hey, it's like, a five minute walk, and Mel and I would've had to walk anyways, so off we go; we get there 10 minutes early, but they let us in anyways, and mm air conditioning. The sushi wasn't bad there, and not very expensive at all, which was good. They forgot to bring us the salads though, and it was at the very end when we were all done that we remembered 'bout it, and I went up to ask for it.
So, paying for the sushi. Since we all had different stuff, we decided to ask for a seperate bill. Well, lo and behold, everybody who had something around 5 bucks? had no 5s. No 10s. All we had were 20s. >_< We had to give them three seperate 20s and ask for three seperate trays of change. We felt so bad. >_< We ended up giving them almost 20% worth of tip.
Anyways, we leave Sushi on 7, and I wanted to go to the mall. But Chloe's mom wanted her and her cousins to wait @ the restaurant, so me and Mel go off to the mall. It's only about a 20 minute walk, but a lot of Hwy 7 on the north side has no sidewalk, which isn't so great. This truck drives past right in the lane beside us, and damn it was pretty creepy. Great big woosh of air. So we get to the mall, and Mel goes to Licks to get some ice cream while I wander myself off to the mall. Spent about an hour there shopping for stuff, and I get out at about 10 to 2, on the hopes that the McCowan bus comes every hour or so. Well, this one bus passes me, and a woman gets off, and I'm about to get on, but the guy's like, bus is out of service. Okay. I can wait. The bus that stops for me was there @ 2 to the dot, and I get on and grab a transfer, thinking I'll get off at Denison and ride that down to Middlefield.
Keep in mind that I've taken the bus about a total of 5 times, and never on my own. I can't remember whether you have to pull the bell or if the bus stops at every stop. So this guy gets on with his little daughter, and they both has bus passes, like, the monthly kind. So I figure they know what they're doing; after some deliberation, I turn and ask the guy the question. He tells me I have to pull the bell, and asks where I want to go. So I tell him I need to get off at Denison; but he tells me that there is no stop at Denison - crap. He tells me instead to get off at Steeles - it's only a block's walk back up. Okay, I figure, whatever. So, we pass 14th, and I think, I could get off, but it's already too late, I'll get off at Steeles. But then, one lady and her son get off on Highglen. Well, that's closer to my house than Denison. I'll get off here.
So I'm on Highglen thinking, I could walk down Highglen, or I could continue walking to Denison. Denison it is, it only took me about 5 minutes. I see a bus stop on Denison along McCowan, and I think, what the hell, does the bus stop here or not? Whatever, I cross the street and get ready to wait for the Denison bus. But it's just past 2, and I'm thinking, what if it only comes every hour, and I've missed it? Screw that, I'll just walk along Denison and see if I can catch the bus. However, I forgot, reading the back of my transfer, you're only supposed to transfer at the intersection you got off at. But no matter, I'm walking down Denison, and I'm almost to Middlefield anyways.
So I'm looking at my tranfer ticket while I'm walking, trying to figure it out, and I see it said Middlefield. What? McCowan doesn't meet Middlefield. But then I remember taking the school bus home that hey, the Highglen bus turns onto Middlefield. Crap. Does that mean I could've gotten on the bus there? So by now I'm feeling pretty stupid, and really warm. But I'm this far, no way I'm going to call my mom, especially cause she wasn't too happy with me this morning, and I'm only like, 10 minutes away from home anyways.
So, end of the story is, I walked a good grand total of probably an hour or more, *and* I took the bus all by myself. It's a proud moment for me, shut up. :P

In other news, I have been all non-updating. There's not that much to say. Birthday sleepover was fun yesterday/today; I got owned by Pac-Man. ^_^;; Also, Gia, interesting movie. Althought I kept falling in and out of sleep of it. So really, my opinion doesn't count. The weather better keep staying nice. :)

Accounting was a little more interesting today, I think because I was learning new things and the like. I was less bored at least. And I finished my book, Who Will Cry When You Die, the one I had to read for LEAD. I have to say, it's not a bad book at all, if a little repetitive. There are a lot of good quotes in it, I just have a habit of not remembering them. I wrote two of them down though, that I thought I liked.
fake it til you make it
You are as old as your doubt, your fear, your despair. The way to keep young is to keep your faith young. Keep your self confidence young. Keep your hope young.
And that was that. :) I started my French book too, and it's pretty sad, because I've decided to write down every word I don't know, and look it up and keep a bit of a glossary, and it's so far been a very long glossary, and I'm just reading the introduction to the story. ^_^;; Oh wells. I'm feeling productive today.

Also, found this looking through my agenda. Dun know if I ever typed it up.
"We're meant to be together. It's our destiny."
He scoffed. "I don't believe in destiny."
She took his hand, raising it between them. "Believe in this."
And also this, which I can't remember anymore if it's supposed to go together with the other.
She ran, smoke filling her lungs and making her stumble. Someone grabbed her arm and dragged her back up. She turned to see who had helped her, but the crowd had already carried them away.

"Witchcraft? Why 'witches'?" "You knew they were there, didn't you?"
So, come. There just had to be a joke in here someplace.
8. Feel free to "cheat" to make a better paragraph.
He turned to look at her, and she pulled his fingers impatiently out of his ears. "Witchcraft? Why witches? You knew they were there, didn't you." So here it came; there just had to be a joke in here someplace. He was not amused.

But this is something I've been doing for probably the last 3 or 4 days. Inspired by this amazing image, Chloe's Secret, I put together a blend of my own. Seth Cohen, because he's more than the comic relief. It's a very big, very long image, but if you have the patience for it, I think you'll like it, if you watch the OC at all, if you like his character at all. And I think he deserves the recognition. :)
