Re: How Was Your Day?

Going to my hometown a few more days later.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I baked sugar cookies only to find out we don't have any milk. (:_(
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I'm gonna hang out on my boat tonight and maybe through the weekend to get some homework done.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

Woke up today. Read through threads on this forum and then decided to exploit Gabe's "kindness" to buy Killing Floor on Steam.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I went to Toastmasters as the sergeant-at-arms this morning. I set up the room in the morning. This was my first time doing that, so I got some help from the past SAA getting things ready.

After that I went to an after school club (yeah, I know, school's out, but the kids have to go somewhere when their parents are working) and helped the kids with reading for an hour. It was fun, but one of the kids thought I was 45 (I'm 28). I wrote that on Facebook and a guy from Toastmasters who is old enough to be my dad said the same thing happened to him but he hugged the kid.

I'm going out to a French meetup in about an hour with a Frenchman. I hope some more people show up so it's not just the two of us. I guess I'll learn more about French politics tonight because he likes to talk about that. He thinks France should have a king, and he said like 40% of his countrymen want that, too.

FYI: if anyone wants to learn French, Spanish or Italian, I really like this site: www.freelanguagetutorials.com
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I got back about half an hour ago. Mon Dieu, I have to stop meeting with that Frenchman, every time I talk to him I want to go to Europe! Too bad I don't have any money for traveling.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

Woke up at noon despite going to sleep earlier than usual. Heard back from a friend, and that cheered me up a lot.

I had plans to go out and watch a movie and eat, but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen. I'm flat broke and I don't think my dad would lend me any money to go out (and honestly, I don't blame him. Nothing's been happening around here, and I've been eating a lot more lately. I'd feel kind of guilty if he told me I could go out today...). If that doesn't work, I'm still having company over, so no loss. We're just gonna talk about the new GTA 5 footage and freak out about how I have the money to get the new Metal Gear Solid whenever it comes out. Then my brother's gonna try to push me into playing Warframe with him.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I wanted to go to the sister cities festival with my grandmother, sisters, and my mom, but the showers in the house were taken up until it was time to go. Instead, I went out for lunch with my dad and his co-workers to a nice little Mexican place that specializes in carne asadas. I wanted to get a steak, but they were like, $14, so I stuck with enchiladas. Gonna go to the store to buy wood and meat and chips for tonight. That is unless my dad just took off without me while I was typing this out. Still, I wanted to do something this week, so I'm being as social as I can because I was getting ready to go out and talk to people for a day. By Monday, I'll be back to quietly drawing in my room again.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

My day is turning out to be awesome! I woke up early and used the opportunity to play some Xbox before the kids woke up and I had a blast with that.

My weight loss regime is working great. Three years ago, my wife bought me a pair of shorts for Father's Day--and I couldn't wear them. I couldn't fit into a 34" waist. But you know what? I got into those shorts on this morning and I have room to spare and they are super fucking comfortable and I'm going to rock them all day long. I've lost two pant sizes and I feel great.

And tomorrow, one of our best friends is getting married. The ceremony is going to take place on a big steam riverboat and there's a champagne brunch involved. Shit yes.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

For the first time in years, grilling is off today because my parents have to go to an open house for my mom's school. However, I got to see my grandma today, and we all hung out like a big happy family except for my brother because he's a douchenozzle. We talked about movies and music and Catholicism and traditional Mexican customs (did you know that the native Mexicans decorated themselves with different precious stones in each tribe and state? Each state has its own stone, and Mexico is filled to the brim with minerals), and what not. Even though I didn't get to go to the festival, we still had a lot of fun today. And I got flan. :D
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

Finally got a chance to write here. Still on my phone, though.

Thought I was gonna be off all day, but my friend was able to come today, so we went and saw Pacific Rim and went out to dinner. Currently spending the night playing Chivalry, watching anime, and listening to Kino. So today was pretty good.
 
Just came back home after staying at my boyfriend's for slightly too long (I lost track of time and accidentally wasted three weeks there). It's very strange, my parents are spoiling me now.

Whilst I was gone they went on holiday to see family, my estranged sister came back into the picture, my brother got a girlfriend, the roads been repaved and they bought Krispy Kreme donuts (you can't get them in this country, or at least where we are. So this is hugely gutting).

The cats still love me though :lol:

Been doing some volunteer work at middle school. It was basically a food drive where we place food in bags. Have to do it again but this time its giving the bags to families who come. I personally find the work enjoyable, especially since I only had "all play and no work".
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I've been okay lately, my FAFSA said that I'm going to be receiving a 12,000 grant which is pretty good.

I've been a little disturbed by the recent rise of really racist comments made on television and the internet since the Zimmerman trial ended, makes me think that all this trial did was bring racial tolerance a few years backwards.

Considering how the media can exaggerate things and sensationalize the case, along with editing certain parts, it really does bring a rise to racist comments on both t.v. and the internet.


I had a good day. Watched Pacific Rim in I-Max since AMC didn't have a normal version, after that I enjoyed a tasty hot-dog from a nearby 7/11 for lunch, and bistek with rice for dinner.

I had a pretty good day. I got a decent amount of stuff done.

Tomorrow I'm going on a road trip with my brother to King's Island.
 
Re: How Was Your Day?

I have been thinking a lot about suicide lately. Not wistfully – I no longer have the passion for life to be excited about death – but as some inevitable event waiting for me in the distance, and as I watch it approaching me, however slowly, I feel no relief, shame or fear, but rather an overwhelming wave of indifference; an aggressive form of boredom.

I have lost all thirst for art, a supposed, if twisted, reflection of life, and even the magic of the reverse where life somehow imitates art I find to be as shallow as the source material. All art is really quite pointless, as is reality. It tires me. Everything does, I suppose. I think I need rest.

Did I post that? Does it matter?
