Hypothetical Hospital Calls

Me *texting Karla*: By the way! There's a story I keep forgetting to tell you. Jonathan and I were talking one day about how we wondered who would visit us in the hospital if something happened to us. And he told me he'd definitely be there. I asked him how he would know and he said Karla would tell me. So I was like oh you guys have talked about this? And he said no, but she'd let me know. So I suppose that is your job should anything happen to me haha.

Karla: I have a pretty good idea of who the requisite phone calls should go to. :)

Me: I figured you might haha you're the truest of true MVPs

Karla: Lol! Let's see... Lieder... Jess... JJ and/or LuzKa...

Me: *several clapping emojis*

Karla: I figure they'd be sufficient to spread the word

Me: Yes this is correct

Karla: Maybe Charlotte or Margery? But I think Lieder would tell them

Me: Lol I don't think he would actually so they would be nice

Karla: I'd tell him to :D

Me: Hahaha you are *100*

1. I guess Jess will have to tell the entirety of Alpha Psi!
2. I guess my mom would mention it to Hermana Vicky or Hermana Claudia or someone, and they would tell the rest of the church population

After a day of being a sickwun and of negative moods and some icky self-esteem issues and a loud and not fun for me meeting... a nice phone call for half an hour changed my mood completely. I can't tell you how happy this kid makes me. We can talk about nothing and it's still the best part of my day.

Hello from Carlos

Astronomy was chill today. We basically chatted all night. Conversation went something like this.

Sammy: Why is Jonathan calling me right now?
Nancy: He knows you have a class?
Sammy: Well he should.
Nancy: Jonathan Lieder? Carlos, do you remember him?
Carlos: Lieder? The one who had the long hair?
Sammy: That's the one.
Carlos: Does he still have long hair?
Sammy: No not at all.
Nancy: So what's the deal with you guys? Like, I dunno, what are you?
Carlos: Oooh, are you guys TALKING??
Sammy: Define talking
Carlos: As more than friends!!
Sammy: No. That is very much not a thing.
Nancy: But you WERE talking, right?
Sammy: I mean -
Nancy: You guys are like really complicated, right?
Sammy: Girl, it's been 7 years. It's whatever he picks that day.
Carlos: What? What does that even mean? That requires explanation.
Sammy: Your guess is as good as mine. I dunno. We were a thing. We've been a thing. Now we're not a thing. And things are always complicated.
Nancy: Like you and... what's the name... the one you married, from Canada. JuanJosé!
Sammy: Haha yes JuanJosé. We're friends, how is that complicated?
Carlos: OMG! JuanJosé! You still talk to him?
Sammy: Yes, he and LuzKarime are still my best friends ever.
Carlos: Seriously?
Sammy: Yep, we write letters and stuff. There's nothing complicated about it though. JuanJosé and I decided that if we didn't get married to anyone else, we'd just marry each other. But we're just best friends.
Nancy: Oh okay, I get it.
Carlos: Where do they go to school?
Sammy: He goes to University of Guelph. She took a gap year so I'm honestly not sure of the name.
Carlos: Oh she did? Didn't feel like going to Guelph? -laughs at the name Guelph- sounds like it's from Hogwarts.
Sammy: Nah, she goes to a school closer to home. She commutes. I think mostly 'cause of work and money stuff?
Carlos: Is he still a stud?
Sammy: YES.
Carlos: -laughs- is she still a cutie?
Sammy: Yes, she's adorable. I love hearing her work stories oh my goodness.
Carlos: We were buddies, man! We used to talk on the phone all the time!
Sammy: Haha yeah, well I still talk to both of them all the time.
Carlos: You should tell them I say hi.

Carlos says hi :)

Littles

Mae invited us over to her house! She has a house with her classmate Keira, who is also in Alpha Psi. Oh my gosh, it's beautiful. It's so spacious! And so I got to spend the evening with them, Kiera's friend (slash a sort-of Teacher's Assistant in my Stage craft class) Eric, my twin Joshy, and Emily. Emily is a junior who is in Alpha Psi AND is Mae's little in a different social sorority. Anyway. It was just a wonderful family dinner. We had fun. And I just love spending time with wonderful people. I especially love hearing stories about all the shows and stuff that have passed on campus. I can't wait to tell stories of my own :)

Language

You know how the sad truth is the cleaning staff is always Hispanic? Well, no, but the majority of the time it is. Anyway, there were these two ladies cleaning out the trash bins while I was walking from my room to the bathroom (right across the hall, hah!). I heard them speaking Spanish so I said good morning and excused myself. I could tell they were surprised to hear Spanish from me. The truth is most Hispanic girls on campus don't ever speak Spanish because, chances are, all their friends here don't know the language. Well they struck up a conversation with me and they were just mega friendly and sweet. AND as an added bonus, they told me where I can find tamales and tacos and empanadas and all the wonderful things. Homemade. UGH. yes.

Sleepless in McDaniel

I'm not clever. Like really. Sammy, stop.

Poor little Alex couldn't sleep last night. So we were texting for a while and he decided that one solution would be a phone call. So I walked out into our lounge and, from 2AM to 3AM, we just talked on the phone. Maybe not the smartest idea for someone who had class, but considering I don't feel that tired and, if I care to, I can still take a 2 hour nap before class, I'm not that bothered by my decision. It was nice, definitely. Catching up, seeing where he was. We were able to talk about some serious stuff, which is usually me begging for help in my latest heartbreak or some nonsense. But this time it was really a conversation. I felt like I actually had imput, which he noted, asking when I'd gotten so smart haha. Don't know that it's a matter of smart. It's a matter of people skills I suppose. Anyway, it was just nice to know someone missed me. I don't get that from the boys a lot lately. We're all just so busy with our lives, it's hard to go back and talk to everyone that often. So those moments are always so wonderful, even at 2AM.

Completely unrelated: This song has grown on me. Ugh. Cannot resist techno.

 

You Are The Angel

I think I've figured it out. The reason why Hector and I have always been able to have 3 hour long conversations without ever experiencing a dull moment. He does A LOT of the talking XD

But in all seriousness. Every time he calls it brightens my day. Reconnecting with an old friend. Sharing our struggles and our successes. And it doesn't hurt that he always has something nice to say about me haha. The title is lyrics from one of his songs which was slightly relevant in our conversation today. He is someone I definitely wish I could see again.

I guess I have a thing for friends in faraway places.

Bat In the Bushes

I will never understand how John works. Our favorite thing to do is basically whine about people, or rather our inability to have people in our lives romantically. John does this a lot. Like a lot a lot. It makes me laugh. I seriously have no problem listening to him vent! I agree with a lot of what he says, and it makes me feel good that he cares about my opinion. Besides, with John? Never a dull moment. But last night, after talking for a while, he decided THE ONLY WAY HE COULD REPAY THE DEBT is to have me mope and whine for a while. I wasn't aware he was in debt. But he insisted. So I got to have a little fit. It was just nice having him listen. And I realized how much he care about me as a friend. He, not even jokingly, was ready to give some of my exs a mouthful, or a bat to the face. Which, as I told him, IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. AND ALSO ILLEGAL. MOSTLY UNNECESSARY. But still, it felt nice to see that he wasn't just bored by my whining, he actually cared and wanted to make sure I was happy. He said "the difference between you and me is you actually deserve to find somebody". As much of a fool as this kid is, he deserves it, too. Maybe more.

The Death of The Work Crush

Title for the sequel to my book. You like? Hehe

(In reference to a joke I made saying I would make a book entitled A Week Without the Work Crush)

So as I have previously mentioned to a few people, le work crush has a girlfriend. As soon as I found this out, I was past it. I'm basically unable to have feelings for anyone who is off limits. Call it a survival tactic. Anyway, as soon as someone is taken, I stop the feelings I have for them. I'd much rather just be happy for them ^_^. SO I saw him today for the first time since I found out. And you know what? It was nice. Because we just chatted. He realized I was sick (seriously guys, my boss sent me home early. Did I look THAT BAD?) and he wished me well. And it was cool because there were actually no real feelings. He was just someone I could talk to. Maybe not a friend, because hoping for an actual friend in my workplace is like asking for Rosario to Vampire to have an actual story. He's just someone I can talk to, and that's really all I ask for :)

SO. You've heard me talk about Becoming Youtube, another Youtube documentary. Which I'm in love with. So THIS? Looks amazing. I can't wait for it to come out. I'm so excited.

Never Making Promises

Reason 226: Ever get just so filled with emotion that you have to sob? Like, not sad tears or happy tears or proud tears. Just let it all out and breathe tears. Yeah, I like those. They feel great, and so relieving and comforting. You know what the best part of a show is? When all the little subplots finally connect and EVERYBODY finally knows EVERYTHING and uses all that knowledge to get to a solution. So it is with life. Getting generic answers is useful, but only for a time. Finally knowing 100% exactly the path you need to take? It's enough to make you cry :)

Title from HERE

Off to a Good Start!

Reason 157: So we start 2013 in the best way. Guess who is finally talking again :) 

-sigh- I'm pathetic, I know. But I'm a little too happy to care. ^_^

And now a song from the best band ever: U2

The Thing About Good Food

Reason 135: Breakfast for Dinner!! It's a little treat McDaniel has for exam week. It's fantastic. And of course everybody was in a stellar mood. It was nice getting to spend the evening with some wonderful people :) And most of it was with Jen & John which is always fun. It's nice to be with people that you can just vent to as well as be vented to in a casual way, and still have a grand old time. They shall be missed during break <3

Question for you

Keep It Comin'

Reason 124: I like having straight up good days. Our project for Group Process is going great, and they chose my song for our intro piece! Woot woot! (Lullabies - Yuna (Adventure Club Remix), I've posted it on here before). Our scene in Acting is getting a lot better. John & Brittany, who I usually walk with after Acting, went on without me because I had to change out of my costume, but came back for me 'cause "it didn't feel right" haha. I got a fantastic shot for my poster for my play in class, I'm excited to make the poster. It's Thursday so we had Chicken Tender Thursday for lunch and Stir Fry for dinner! And then my FYS went to see a play called Heroes which was FANTASTIC, and we had a blast. I come back and Emily has a yummy cookie for me. Hooray today!

My picture teehee

#TeamEvan

Reason 113: It's a thing! Staying up til.. 6 in the morning? To talk to a kid named Evan. Not my "brother" Evan aka our dear friend from middle school, but Jess' suitor Evan. Who is a total sweetheart, very funny, relaxed, easy to talk to, and (most importantly) cares deeply for Jess. I'm glad honestly. I know she doesn't need a guy to be happy and that this could very well be nothing. But I'm glad that, after the jerk that just messed her up, there's someone in her life that will take good care of her, respect her, and (more importantly) be the friend she needs. Hooray for the good guys.

Happy 84th Birthday to our dear friend, Mickey Mouse <3

4, 3, 2, 1

58: Immaturity. So here's lunch. Me, Nancy (from Middle School), Sara, Jess, Lauren (who you dunno), and John (parkour haha). And Nancy is eating something weird. Some weird blue fruit. Sara refers to it as blue balls. Giggling ensues. And it becomes an educational conversation. About the male anatomy. And John and I are apparently the only ones who know anything. Let's be real, I have too many guy friends. I know too much. But it was really funny how little they knew. It was really refreshing to be able to talk about it without anyone actually being perverted or offended. I enjoy those moments. Yay innuendo :P And Nancy's reactions to new info were hilarious.

^This song gets a lot of heat 'cause it's supposedly about masturbation. But actually, the artists said they have no idea where that idea came from, and to whoever made it up, they'd like to "shake his hand". Which I think is a nasty idea... you know... considering.
