sneakers

i walked up to Jazmin and Brittany in the hallway this morning, looking all presentable with my hair straightened and nice, slimming clothes on (thank God) and we started chatting when the guy i like was walking behind her. she was supposed to introduce us (she earlier told him that one of her friends wanted to meet him because she liked his sneakers), and my heart was almost outside of my chest cavity when i said, "hey i really like your sneak-- oh you're not wearing them today! well then.." those were the first words i've ever said to him. nice first impression...
followed by an awkward silence for anyone who could not hear my heart beating. Jazmin threw in a pity laugh while he pretty much stared at me as if i was a unicorn. then something went on while i was replaying the horrid event in my head, leading me to not know what happened next, but he eventually walked away from us. then i began to discuss how ridiculously ridiculous the previous event was. i was facing Jazmin and he walked behind me and ALL OF A SUDDEN she goes "oh my God! he just checked you out!" and i kinda gave her a punch and said "you're such a liar, don't tell me that shit." and Brittany went on to say "now she's gonna walk down the hallways like this" and she demonstrated her version of me walking like a hoochie which resembled her taking a shit lol.
and then, at lunch me, Breanne, Janelle, Daleen and Tyler were outside. we came inside and he walked right past me and did not even look at me! i mean, after what i said to him earlier i at least deserve a glance. at this, my heart sank to great depths. but only to come back up again. we were at Breanne's locker and i was diagonally to the locker and i saw him walk by and as he walked by he kinda looked towards me. he was walking with a friend and he kinda lingered looking at me and the people around me for about 3 seconds. (like one 1000, two 1000, three 1000..) and once i turned around he ran to catch up with his friend. and i was like DAMNIT i could have turned around to say hi or something. i really just want to say hi to him or give him a friendly nod, you know? just to get that out of the way. like UGH
Jazmin said i have to say hi to him because he doesn't initiate interaction. GREAT, maybe i could roll right up to him and start another ridiculous conversation. that reminds me, my friend Sam had a crush on this guy once and she talked to him before hand on msn and she was like "when i talk to you i'll probably say something really dumb like, how's the ceiling??" then when she saw him at our dance after party, she was like "How's the ceiling?" and he just gave her a funny look.
i definitely think i should pull a "how's the ceiling?" pick-up line with this guy. i'm not quite sure i embarrassed myself enough yet.

PLUS, i told my friend Bri the story and she was like "oh my God that's so dumb. why do you call them sneakers? why didn't you say shoes?"
everyone always laughs when i call shoes sneakers. is there REALLY a big deal? i mean, that's ultimately what they are. UGH
other than this, my day went quite smooth. my kooky english teacher sang us some of her famous songs. she's actually hilarious, even if she doesn't really do a lot as a teacher, she's a really loveable teacher. and she seriously makes me crack up sometimes.

then i skipped Psychology because block 4 Cosmetology had a guest speaker. and she was good. i learned so much and my whole perspective on hair products has totally changed. she was funny too. she works for ISO.

i didn't work out today, however. i bussed home from Northgate and ran on the treadmill for twenty minutes. this diet is going very well. it's only day two and i've lost 4 pounds ! although i'm almost positive i just happened to check my weight at the time of day when our weight is less than usual. which theoretically would be.. at the time it says on the bottom of this post

PS. i watched The Departed this weekend. i watched twenty minutes of it two weekends ago and it wasn't that great but i watched it all this weekend and it was pretty good. it takes me a bit to get into those kind of action movies. this was twisted, and i was SO not expecting the bang-bang-bang- everyone's dead scene. had a ton of very sexy, very talented actors (Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg) which made it that much more enjoyable.
