Last night, Bonnie took Glenda, me, Erin, and Cherise to the Asbury varsity basketball's first game. It was pretty much my first basketball game -I think my dad took me to one when I was like 5, but I don't remember it. Either way, I don't know anything about basketball, so they wanted to educate me so I understood enough during our first game so that I could cheer at the appropriate times.
I told Bonnie early on in the game that I was going to learn all the guys' names and that I already knew Ian's name because he is in my Spanish 201 class. She responded with sometime that was similar to saying that since I'm tall (compared to the girls on my cheer squad) and have long legs, she should introduce me to Ian because he is tall (and he's planning on being a lawyer, haha). However, though Ian and I may both have long legs, I am only 5'4 and he is 6'11. Though I can't complain, I love tall guys.
Oh, in case you were wondering, we lost last night, but it was still fun to watch.

Pin Up Girls
So it's official, when I get married, I want to give my husband, as a gift, pictures of me posing like a 1950's pin up girl. I know, I'm weird, but w/e, deal with it.

Motorcycle!
So I found out that in Kentucky, if you're under 18 years old, you can take the Motorcycle Safety course for free. That course is required, if you are under are 21 years, in Florida to get your motorcycle license and also counts as your motorcycle skills and written test. I went and took the class with five 50/60 year old men this weekend, it was taught by 2 older guys named Gary and LJ. All I have to do is take my course completion certificate down to the DMV in Florida and they will give my my endorsement for a bike.
I really like being on a bike, it gives me a similar feeling to running and rock climbing (that raw, physical, alive , this-is-what-living-is rush). I feel free, almost able to escape my body, it's nice.

If Interested
So I went to a movie Friday night with Alex ( a guy) and 3 other girls. We all sat in the back row, but about 10 minutes into the movie, all the other girls moved the front and left Alex and I alone. I didn't realize they had left until the end of the movie though. His posture in his chair almost the entire movie was away from me. And the next night I sat next to Jason during Across the Universe and he sat angled away from me too (though we were in a packed theater that time, people all around, but he did have the aisle seat). I mean, either guys are not ineterested in me (though Charlie did call me Friday night and ask if I would like to go to Hot Stone Pizza for lunch with him on Saturday) or they are just waaay to well mannered and polite to try anything in a movie theater. I'm glad they are so polite, but it's still kinda weird/different from what I'm used to.
I told Tim that and he asked me the question, "what would you do if they were interested?"
I realized I like wishing for a bf, but actually having one still scares me. I'm so weird. When I meet him, I guess I will not be so scared, or atleast, I will want to take the risk badly enough so that my desire to be in a relationship with him will overcome my fear.

MuteMath Show
Yesterdat at 4pm I met Brad in the Student Center and we left for Cincinnati. MuteMath played at Bogart's and doors opened at 6:30pm -we got there at about 6:20pm, only after we got slightly lost in a rather shady area of Cinci.
It was such a good show. It started off with Eisley, but Brad wasn't too thrilled with Eisley. He said he was beginning to fall asleep during it, haha. It was fun, I've never been to a show with only one other person, that other person being a tall guy. In between shows and during slow Eisley songs I would lean back on him 'cus I'm always jealous of all the girls with boyfriends who can do that. It was really nice, it makes me want to always go to a concert with a guy.
Anyway, before MuteMath started, I wiggled my way to the front and Brad somehow followed me. During the show, this girl Meghan (from University of Dayton, a film major) and I rocked out so hard to MuteMath -it was awesome. I've never sweat so much, haha. Even Brad said he was surprised that I could dance so hard.
*The next entire paragraph is as told to me by Brad*
About halfway through MuteMath, this kid in an orange shirt got in between the couple that Brad and I had become concert buddies with. Brad nodded to the guy that was our friend (the guy in the couple) that he should just knock the guy out, haha. Brad and our friend just kind of grabbed the kids shoulders, pointed to the bf and then to the gf. Needless to say, the orange-shirt guy got out of the way -both Brad and the bf are pretty intimidating looking. Then the gf (of the guy) and I started to move left and Brad and I got separated by this kid in a blue polo. Brad said he was just "oh no...", and he elbowed his way/moved up every time the collared shirt kid clapped. Eventually Brad the bf were next to us girls again. Brad said it was really kind of fun 'cus he felt like he had a job to do, hehe. fyi, I had no idea anything that I described in this paragraph had gone on until the concert was over.
Anywho, on our way home, we stopped at Steak n Shake cus Brad had never been to one. About 10 minutes into us being there, 3 guys that I recognized from the show walked in. I invited them to come sit with us, but they kind of just shrugged my invitation off. Brad later told me that one of the 3 guys was the orange-shirt guy that he and the bf had to tell to get away, haha.
Good, amazing show.

'Rents...
So my dad came up this past Sunday b/c he wanted to tell me in person that he and my mom were separating. However, my sister thought I already knew and told me a few days before he came up. I was kinda sad to hear that the reason he was coming up was to tell me bad news, instead of just to see me, but w/e.
My dad and I went out to lunch and we talked about it. See, for 2 or 3 years my mom has been complaining to Mary and I about how much she doesn't like my dad ("he's never home", "he cares more about his car and computer than us", "if we would stop buying new cars, we would be fine", "he's selfish", etc). But my dad never heard any of it. He didn't really know she was that unhappy. They went to counseling and she would say a few things, and he really did get better (though I was never that aware of my family or parents' relationship to know what exactly he did wrong in the first place).
My dad thought he was doing better, my mom told me she threatened him with divorce when everytime he bought a new car (twice a year?). He didn't expect her to ask for a divorce in the middle of their date to Panera. He says he pretty much begged her not to get a divorce right away and so they settled on separating for a year and seeing how that goes. Mary says he has already tripled his efforts to try and win her back. She seems over him though. She made up her mind years ago that he would not, could not be someone she romanticly loved. She decided a long time ago that she would not live with him for the rest of her life. She just never told him.
Now my sister is stuck with mom complaining and making plans to live alone. My mom promised my dad that they would stay in contact after they separate, that he could eat dinner with them 2 or 3 times a week, hang out with Mary, help with the lawn and computers. However, my mom has seriously started considering moving away with Mary. She is looking at Tennessee and asking Mary which school in Nashville she would like to go to. That's so unfair to my dad.
Mom complains to Mary about how Mary should help around the house now that Dad won't be fully supporting them. She talks about the "separation" all the time to Mary. Mary says Dad is being cool about it, as best as he can be atleast.

Downtown lex
Went out on the town tonight after the chorus concert...
Packed 8 girls into my car and danced to reggaetone the entire drive to downtown. We went to the Starbucks downtown and then walked around a bit and took silly picture (it was like 10pm). Then around 11:30 we went to Walmart and bought lots of baking supplies cus we're gonna bake mexican monkey cake ( courtesy of www.foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com ) tomorrow night. It was uber uber fun. We just barely got back before curfew (1am) and must go to bed now, but I am sure I will have some more fun-ness this weekend to report =).

Music Study....
Music major... idn.
Music minor... eh.
History? ...mmm.
Anthropology, ugh.
I don't wanna do anything...
I guess everything I do will be hard. It's not that I mind working hard, but do I mind working hard for something that I most likely will not go into for a career?

Separate
Take me for a fool and I'll do the same for you.
-Aaron Sprinkle (Song: What Sorry Could Be).
My parents are separating. Dad is looking for an apartment. "We're not getting a divorce." Ha, no one ever gets back together after separating.

Losers
So I somehow end up having lots of loser friends, always. You know, the ones with no social skills, they are somehow socially retarded. They say weird things at weird times, have odd phrases, make awkward jokes. Or, they are into really weird things, have odd mannerisms. They're all really nice, but just off.
At home, there was Alec. Elementary school, Drew. Middle School=most of the gifted class. Here, I have already begun to hang out with some losers (I'm so nice... haha). Thrasher, Ben, Tim... all a little weird. I would include Ashley in that group, but even I just get irritated too much by her to consider her even a semi-friend.
I told my mom about how off Tim is and that I somehow ended being friends with a lot of rejects. She said, "I've noticed that you do that. Why do you always do that? Do you feel more accepted by them? Do you feel like you're not good enough for normal kids?" Sometimes my mom refers to it as me being a kind, empathetic person, trying to include the outcast. Sometimes, she views it as hindering my own reputation and self.
