How long does it take to put on pants?!
Dec. 1st, 2002 09:43 pmI don't think I can explain the difference between this weekend--heck, the preceeding "week," too--and what I face now.
Matthew rescued me--that's what he called it--from my family on Friday. I still had to deal with a little of the day-after-Thanksgiving stuff and my family for the morning, but we left around two and things got much better. When we got here things didn't change noticably, really; we still sat around and talked. We weren't even listening to cool CDs like we had been in his car. But we entertained ourselves quite well nonetheless; we were silly Friday night. As I told![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ivana_duboise when he said he'd had weird conversations that night, who can compare with trapezoids that travel faster than light, "supercloth"--material woven of superstrings, of course--the Evil Geniuses' Institute for the Instruction of Despots (so far our teachers include Palpatine and the squirrel in Ice Age), the philosophy of dictionaries, the word "it," the logic of why ice cubes are easily removable because they are dolphin-shaped...
Yesterday we didn't do anything, at least until about seven o'clock when Matthew wanted soup and made it sound so good to me that when we went to Doolittle's I had soup, and I usually don't get excited about soup! It was good.
Over the course of two days we watched a bunch of movies--Ice Age, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Remember the Titans...we went to great effort to get the South Park movie but I still haven't seen it. We tortured cats. We of course ate pizza with Katie and Josh, we played Clue with them (and I won even though it was a winnable game!) and we did lots and lots of nothing too; we are good at nothing.
It was all wonderful.
It's also the hugest contrast imaginable to what is now ahead of me. But Jenn wants to use the computer and I don't want to talk about it right now anyway. School and money top the list, but there's also smaller concerns like having to do a kitchenful of dishes and lack of sleep and missing some people who aren't around and seeing too much of some people I am around...
