Yesterday I had globs of fun. I wish the day didn't have to end, but as with all days, it must.
I woke up uber early, like at 6:30. I let the house around 7:00. That's earlier than going to high school. So, from there you can tell it will be a long day.
First thing was going to the Auto Show in Motion. I got to drive all these random cars, but on top of that I got to practice driving stick. In retrospect, I should have just stayed there later on and drove the stick cars over and over. It was great fun throw cars into turns and what not. Some of the event people told me to slow it down, but no serious reprimanding.
I got to floor a Corvette.
Then free, not best ever, lunch. So I was a jovial camper. I bit tired. I wanted to go home and sleep. But I had work. So I went in and worked for a couple of hours. It was nice because my immediate supervisor was back, and there was actual conversation with another person. Normally I don't open my mouth unless it's to answer the phone because no one is there. It was kind of nice.
Then after that I went home and played more driving simulation called Gran Turismo 4. I'm starting to like the game a lot more now. Maybe even more than all it's predecessors. I had the most fun with Gran Turismo 2 so far, but I think this one is on it's way to the top.
Then after a couple hours of that, I went and had dinner with Katherine, Ben, and Nelson. I didn't know who Nelson was before this, so it was fun. Good conversations, and we all know that I am a sucker for sitting around and talking.
Later Katherine, Ben, and I went to Verde and just used the free internet. Why? Because still no internet at home. It was pretty chill. I think there is more conversation when not everyone brings their laptop, but it was good. Played literati and got some work done.
And Verde's version of Qpop chicken is better then Qcup's. I just wish they put basil in it too instead of yam fries or something.
After words, we minus Ben went to hang out with Kim. Sometimes I wish he would be more careful about what he says. I don't think being careful about what you say means not telling the truth as you see it. It's not about holding back. It's about how to effectively communicate what your thoughts are in a manner that the other person can understand it.
Just because you think about something before saying it doesn't mean it's any less true or real.
I understand the logic behind thinking it's fake to hold back. But if you don't put it in words so that the person hearing your message can understand it best, you are doing yourself and your message an injustice.
It's all about rhetoric I suppose.
But regardless, it happened upon one of the more deeper conversations I've had with him. It's a bit weird to think I've only known him in the context of that house he lives in, which won't be much longer.
Maybe it's just me, but I've got a soft spot for things changing right now because I want things in my life to change. Change seems like such a novelty at the moment.
So I stayed awake for about twenty one hours. Three more and I can make a hit tv show. Maybe next week.
