Hey.

I fixed the background and put it to full size (the picture kept shrinking because it was over 150 k and photobucket kept changing it to save bandwidth). It looks so-so (I'm too used to how it used to look), but Sora's face is blocked off by the Riku icon.

I was going to blog last night, but Adrian came over and we ended up watching Dreamcatcher instead. Awesome movie but kind of creepy. It freaked me out and I was scared to go into the bathroom alone. I find just about any movie freaky, so yeah...We played a bit of Soul Calibur before going to bed (at 1). Adrian totally kicked my ass but today I practiced a lot using Kilik. Then he kicked my ass again with Ivy and Inferno. Do you guys even know what I'm talking about?

This morning I woke up with a charlie-horse on my left leg. How the hell did that happen? I woke up and my leg was cramped up, but I vaguely remember stretching and hurting myself. It's still a bit stiff, but I haven't done a lot of walking today so that might be why.

A few guys came to install the new heatpump (the central heating system was broken) and spent just about all day here. The garage door was constantly open, so we had to keep the cats in a room so that they wouldn't get out...But we couldn't find Lucky. I was really worried and thought that maybe he ran out, but ruled against it because he was too curious to wander outside. He's more likely to stay put and observe rather than run away as fast as he could. Pinky would do that though. Luna wouldn't pay any mind but would leave when she got the chance.

Anyway, a couple of hours after the guys left, Catherine saw Lucky in the kitchen. He's wandering around the house right now.

Cat and Adrian were playing Soul Calibur a while ago but abandoned me, so now I'm in the living room alone, chatting to Ari and Nat. Ari sent me a file of her singing to 'Kiss from a Rose' by Seal...God she has a nice voice (and lessons, the lucky bum). ;_; Once I sang to 'Sen no Kotoba' and I sounded HORRIBLE (maybe picking an english song would have been better). I asked for vocal lessons but somehow Mo doesn't want me to get any. ;_; Ari has a singing instructor. >.<

Anyway, I better go now. Byees!

Alec is going out with someone.

And I don't care.

That someone isn't me.

And I don't care.

I haven't written anything in months.

And I don't care.

Summer is slipping away and fall is coming 'round the corner.

I feel cold.

Maybe I should turn on the furnace.

Cat had a soccer game at school today, but I came home rather than watched it. I feel slightly guilty because I'm sure she would have preferred it if I went to cheer her on. I wonder if Adrian is there? Somehow I feel somewhat distant. Cat and I used to be able to talk for hours on end, but now we seem to hold no common ground. Sometimes our idle conversations consist of 'What [class] do you have next? What did you have last? How was your day?' and so on, very much like the talks Dustin and I used to have. Also, she has a boyfriend and is very much the social butterfly; extremely lively. I'm just the opposite. Just two days ago Justin told me that I was 'more open on MSN' and 'quiet at school'. At the beginning of the year I was told (also by Justin) that I was 'uptight'. What's wrong with me?

I was walking home today and only Lucas and I got off the bus (Christine was going to Tanya's house), but we were later joined by Kaleigh and Dorian. After Dorian left, Kaleigh and Lucas began fighting over their house key, since Lucas wasn't going to 'let Kaleigh in' and Kaleigh 'doesn't have a key'. The key fell to the sidewalk and they both scrambled to get to it. Lucas has a nice laugh. Kaleigh's voice is low and is more of a mumble, unless he raises his voice a bit.

I came home and let Dubbo outside, breathing in a last breath of summer air before the fall. It was wonderfully sunny outside, and warm. My bedroom right now is filled with sunlight (the window opens to the west, giving a nice view of the sunset. Unfortunately a few large trees obscure the scenery), which is a pity since I am in the kitchen. It hasn't been light in there since mid-summer, though the fact that the walls were painted forest green doesn't make it any brighter. When they were still a pastel green, light used to reflect off the walls and the room would be wondrously bright, while other rooms were grey and dark.

I looked through one those Halloween costume flyers just now. One of the princess costumes looked particularly ugly, with a cone-shaped doohickey that seemed more like a dunce hat than anything. There was the 'Scary Movie' mask, a parody of the 'Scream' mask. Today I saw a review of Scary Movie 3: Lord of the Brooms. I felt insulted at the fact that they would poke fun at The Lord of the Rings, even though it has been done many times over. I thought they made fun of scary movies? But Harry Potter was also on the list, which made me feel better.

I should probably complain about it now before I forget, even though I'm not so angry about it anymore. A few days ago (sometime last week) at lunch, Tina was poking fun at Ari (yet again, the poor girl), calling her 'Mrs. Lucas' and whatnot, when Ari asked me, 'Hey, what's Alec's last name?'. I felt that Slef was veering towards the edge, but I replied 'Peters' almost automatically (though I wondered if I should tell her). Tina asked, 'You like Alec?' and then Jennifer (who was exactly participating in our conversation) asked, 'Why? Why do you want to know his last name?'. Then later that day I was feeling angry at Nat, because she was the one who 'accidentally' told Ari, who 'accidentally' told Tina (out loud, in the cafeteria, of all places) and Jennifer, who happened to overhear us (Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation while I was eavesdropping). I don't really think Jennifer knew for sure, but she asked me about it on the way to our lockers. I didn't say anything, of course, but she hasn't bothered me about it either. Neither has Tina.

Not that I like him anymore or anything (so I think). Before when I used to pass by his locker, it would suddenly feel as if my right leg were longer than my left, and I became so worried about whether I was hobbling or not. Maybe my left leg caught up with my right? (Got milk?)

Anyway, he's going out with Charlene and that's all I have to say. Charlene is nice and I don't particularly dislike her, so what's the big deal?
