People These Days...

"Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Suess

Some people would say that Friday the 13th is the unluckiest day of the year. And for the most part, it is. Black cats, broken mirrors and all that other superstitious jazz. But surprisingly, my day at school went very smoothly. Friday the 13th or not, a very good day if I say so. It was all great, and everything WAS running smoothly... then I started to prepare to leave for my cheer friend Brenna's party. This, darling is where all of the suspicions of Friday the 13th become real. Party; empty. Literally me and one other. Oh, the love that is shared between "best friends". A bond that is so close, that it can only be broken by the social ladder and the hottest new movie. 

Wow.

Such an inseparable bond, huh? I felt terrible because the next day (Saturday), bright and early we rose to encourage Varsity on to OSSA. (btw. 2nd placee!) And first words as Bren sauntered into the commons; "Brenna, how was your party?" Ohwow. Uh. Slap in the face much? At those words, I naturally jump to her defense. Honey, I don't care if you're "up there" because if you're gonna treat people like that I could easily live without you. Poor Bren. Naturally, she's drawn back in. These are the years that the claws extend, the tears fall, and you find out the truth behind the eyes of others. The question is, do you want to listen? 

Speaking of friends, I hung out with Alina yesterday right after I was dropped back off at the school. We had planned to go and watch "He's Just Not That Into You." Well, we can't say they didn't warn us. But really, who would have thought that after the 2nd week of being open, there would be NO two seats together in the entire theatre? Not us. So, we buy tickets. And have to sit on the floor where the movie theatre opens up, right? Now, it's not like we were causing any type of commotion, or disturbing anybody whatsoever. But apparently, that's not the problem. As we were informed of about 10 minutes into the movie by theatre staff, it's "against fire code. So you can both either find a seat but you won't be by each other, or I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Chyeahh. I'm not gonna sit with my friend at a movie I came to see with my friend. So we leave, and decided to chill and pretty much shop without money. Then, we got Sbarros pizza, which left us both with all of $.42! I can buy..a stick of gum! :D but, they kind of scammed us. Because they failed to inform us that everything they were offering came at an extra price. They were just kind of asking "what flavor?" not, "would you like.." Our mistake. So that was a down, including the part where my tray hit her pop off hers. That was embarrassing. Butttttt....:) Luckily, as we later found out..it led to the attention of two guys. ;D We're sitting and eating &he comes over (holding his hat all polite like) and honestly, genuinely, and politely says: "Hey, I know you ladies are kind of busy, but me and my friend saw you and thought you were kind of cute and wanted to know if maybe when you were finished if you would like to maybe walk around and hang out with us?" WELLLL...:) That was a pleasant surprise. We totally would have, but he looked at least Junior in HS. :)I don't think any of the older men we come across comprehend the fact that we are in the 8th grade. Now, THAT is how you get a girl's attention. No, "Do you take karate? 'Cause your body's kickin'!" Uh. No. :) So that pretty much made my week/month. We went home&I slept over and she made me look like a princess. Then today I hung with her some more and we got Starbucks&walked around&talked. It was beautiful outside. 2009 should be great:)
