Blue Penguins

Good day to all. I’m honestly not sure what the title has to do with anything, but it’s what came to mind. Actually I’m remembering Dela’s old IM icon that had a little blue penguin that was waddling forward. I don’t know why I remembered, maybe cause I was thinking about Dela. There’s not much going on here. School is going alright. Probably could be better, but in all honesty it’s hard to really give it your all and your best when you hate where you are. Honestly I really do. I hate this university. I hate the close minded rude people that attend here. The people that like to stand and talk in big group right in front of doors or in the middle of halls. AAAAAHHHHH!!!! Okay, I’m done. I apologize, but I had to get that out. Anyway…

I’m kinda tired. I stayed up late last night, but it was definatly worth it. *smiles* But that’s all I going to say about it. *grins* My father decided to get broadband, so they’re going to come install it tomorrow. Yay! No more waiting an hour for one song, or to watch a movie preview.

Hmm…what else? I think I mentioned seeing an old friend of mine earlier on. His girlfriend is a girl that used to have a crush on me in high school. I never did anything about it cause I used to be really shy, which I still am sometimes, but I was more so for most of high school. It seems kinda of strange to see her and be around her. She hasn’t changed and she has. It’s kinda hard to explain. I thought about her for a little while but just pushed it out of my mind. It just doesn’t seem right to me to think about someone that’s with one of my friends.

Maybe I just miss contact. I haven’t heard from my best friend, except for a quick phone call (made by me), for close to a month now. I guess it’s worse cause I don’t drive, don’t have a car. So the only times I go out are to school, and running errands with my mother or sister. And I think I’ve already talked about how I get along with them, so it’s just not the same as really “going out.”

I have no idea if I’m making sense. Ah well, a little rambling is good for the mind. Keeps the shrink away *winks* I just like to make that joke to my sister cause she’s a psychology major, even though she’s in research and not clinical, it’s still funny. That’s my eldest sister, the one I get along with.

I’m pretty sure some of you have thought that I should just learn to drive. Easier said than done, but aren’t those things always are. See, my parents both own standard stick shift cars. Anyone that’s ever learned or tried to learn standard will know what I’m talking about. It’s definatly not as easy as automatic. Second, my father works full time as a teacher, which means he still works after he gets home, grading papers, preparing lessons, etc. So, the only person left to teach me is my mother, who I can’t trust. She freaks out too easy at everything. She once tried to grab the steering wheel. Being that an action as that could be very dangerous, I refuse to drive with her in the car. My sister has an automatic, but I believe we’ve already covered her “I do something for you, you owe me until I say it’s paid off” attitude. So, for now I can’t drive. Maybe one day my father and I will be able to go out and I can pratice some more so I’ll be ready to take the test. Well, I think that’s the extent of my rambling for now. Good day to all.

*smirks* Why, were you kept interested and enthralled? And if you’re tired, maybe you should get to bed earlier at night. But that’s just my opinion. Hmmm…. well, take care, and be eternally well. And do get sleep, friend.
