be kind rewind and hand me some sunblock.

The shoptalk (weather).

Went to a Padre v. Twin game today. It was perfect weather. Not hot and not cold. Sunny. I went with Daniel. I thought it would be awkward – seeing as I haven’t actually hung out with him for more than one hour probably since last year when we went to the game – and it was. I did a lot of the talking as usual. I notice that I – one of the shyest humans to be given a voice – am always motormouthing it when I am alone with a guy. Like any silence would mean the death of cute bunnies everywhere.

The awkward moments.

It was fine. We talked about colleges and I said a lot of random shit. Most of the random sentences that come out of my voicebox aren’t actually random. They’re responses to something I thought you said but you didn’t actually. I have something wrong with the wiring from ear to brain comprehension (my ‘i suck at the game telephone’ gene). As in: Daniel: "I wish I could be an ump so i could be in on all the secrets" Me: "He still manages to be butch though, with all those ump pads." daniel: "what?" Me: "He looks like he’s wearing a kilt with the baseball apron thing…" (thinking: isn’t that what you just said???) Daniel: "That was a random statement." Me: "What did you say before that?" Daniel: "i want to be in on all the secrets." Me: "oh. yeah. that’d be cool too." *slapself*

the meal.

So i realized that yesterday I had 1 small frappachino and a few handfulls of honeycomb cereal. That was it for my food consumption for the day. When I don’t have a bell telling me when to eat I just forget. Summer’s lack of structure kills me. So today I order a hotdog from the baseball vendor and he hands me two with a jolly "It’s TWO FOR ONE day!!" me: "good god, do i look like a person that eats two hot dogs in one day?" But i did. I had to spread it out over the 9 innings though seeing as my digestive system isn’t used to working so much.  Daniel ate both of his hotdogs in five minutes.

the other awkward moments

I took a huge bite out of my hotdog when they put the ‘kisscam’ up on the big screen. I freak out in the 1 in 29,564 people chance that I’d be framed on that screen and 1. finish chewing while trying to not to look like a cow chewing the cud 2. bend down for my water and hope the cameras skip over us. God. The stress I make for myself in this lifetime could fuel a small toltalitarian country.

the sunburn.

so yeah. They were giving out small packets of sunscreen but who puts sunscreen on to go to a baseball game? I wasn’t thinking about it being three hours in the noon – 3pm sun drilling into my exposed skin. I have mega sunburn on my legs, arms, face. Heh the tops of my thighs and half of my kneecaps are really red and the rest of my leg that was perpendicular to the sun is white. I have a line of red and white on my knees. hehehheow.

my eyelids hurt. seriously, slap me.

ow dammit. NOT ON THE SUNBURN.

the smoke.

late in the game daniel pointed at a huge plume of smoke that looked like it was coming from behind the ballpark (at first i thought it WAS the ballpark but then figured it was something behind the park wall that we couldnt see). I wondered if they were going to evacuate us but the smoke stopped reproducing quickly (firemen to the rescue so we assumed). I found out later a restaraunt caught fire in the downtown district.

the parking.

So also we apparently parked on a level of the garage that is only reachable by elevator. we walked up and down and were hitting floors 3 and 5 only (we parked on 4) even though we could SEE level 4 through the structure but couldn’t get to it, It was weird. Like we were trying to get to platform 9 3/4 only there were no Weasleys to follow to the car. We found the elevator though. It was all good.

Oh. Daniel is one of those people that uses his ipod in the car. And never stops changing the song. While he is driving. While i trust and admire his ability to multitask. Eeps. I really do find those ipod hookups to the car dangerous because everyone is tempted to fiddle with it while driving.

i woke up at 7am for a piano lesson only to find out that she wasn’t coming until 10 but by then both cat and dog were up so i fed both and then had to stay downstairs to make sure the dog didnt chew anything. i slept for another hour but it was a restless toss in which i dreamed in between consciousness that i was at a graduation with daniel and we were going to the baseball game only we were detained by Xena  Warrior Princess for some reason.

 

 

sidenote: mum fell off a curb. tore all the ligaments in the top of her foot and injured her back again. and has a nasty cut on her arm from a metal box she was carrying when she fell. Not good. She was crying when she tried to walk up the stairs two nights ago. And since The Other Offspring is lovesick for Andrew (her new but seemingly serious crush of the week) and keeps txting him she’s been in a bad mood if we inturrupt her so she left for Father’s and now I’m home alone with two animals and my disabled mother.

 summer.

i need a job.

i dropped an application off at Ross yesterday and they called last night but it only rang once and then they hung up and havent tried since. ????

Daniel got the job at the theaters. he starts his first shift 6pm to 2am tomorrow.he gets to go to the movies with one friend free whenever he wants. that’s a good deal considering tickets are ten bucks now.

oh also.

I filled up my tank. 70 bucks and i have a pretty good mileager – a camry. Watching the numbers rise when i was filling up was like watching an X rated movie -Just wrong.
