You know, that cliched picture of your significant other that teenagers are so fond of. To be honest, it's a cute picture, and it looks good against all the little phone icons and text. Plus, it's Charles!

Today was relatively low-key in terms of days. Heck, it's been a low-key existence for a while. Yesterday I did something a little fancy and put on some makeup for my date-turned-double-date with Kelsea and Aaron and Chuck. We went to this brewhouse/pub called Natty Greene's and I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the veggie burger that I originally wanted to get. The substituted black-bean burger was spicier but still delicious. Afterwords, Chuck and I bought two slices of cheesecake and snuck them into the movie theater. We saw The Happening with Zooey Deschanel and I was let down. Not enough to consider it a waste of a movie experience, but the acting was a little too dry and awkward to please me. It really makes me want to watch The Village, so I think Chuck and I are going to have a movie night in the near future. :) The cheesecake was delicious.

Today, despite being low-key, was annoying. The heat was aggravating and I was completely happy to finally return home and snuggle for a while. I also got to try out the new grapefruit soap, shampoo, and conditioner I had purchased. I bought the soap independantly from the rest when I was close to running out and bought the shampoo and conditioner yesterday. They all clean very well and make my skin feel good, but I don't smell like grapefruit. :( I should go buy some grapefruit deodorant or mouthwash next, perhaps.

Using my prophetic skills, I forsee that tonight is going to consist of a foray into previously-ignored video games.

I got a new phone. It's an LG phone made for AT&T, and I think it's pretty nice. Well, it looks nice on the outside, anyway, which is all that anyone does anything for in the first place. My old razr phone (which was more than two years old) suddenly lost the ability to receive input from the buttons, which was pretty critical (in my opinion) to the whole point of the thing. But this phone is pretty cute, and it has a spot for a "microSD" memory card, so I think I might buy some cheap 512mb one and put a few songs on it for ringtones. The user manual is pretty vague when it comes to everything, except for the fact that you cant use "full length" songs as your ringtone. I guess I just need to figure out the specifications.

I updated to Ubuntu version 6.10 last night, after having 6.06 for more than a year. I realized how old Dapper was when I was looking at the various releases and saw that 7.04 came out last April. I figured I would update to the latest version, because I'm planning on either wiping OSX completely or dual-booting when I obtain my MacBook for college this Christmas. All the documentation for installing Ubuntu on a MacBook refers to 7.04 so I thought it would be a good idea to get used to it in the mean time. I'll probably update from this version in a few days, but I'm just playing around right now to see what's different. Really, all the changes just look cosmetic, because all I do is surf the internet, listen to music, chat, and use Photoshop.

I feel like I've been neglecting the internet lately, but that's just because I've been having horrible menstrual cramps (it's placebo week!) and I've been laying in bed listening to music. I've almost decided that Rasputina is my favorite band ever, because I can listen to pretty much anything by them and love it, but that applies to a lot of bands that I like. Anyway, the open house for Glenn is in two weeks, and it seems like forever. I'm always one of those nerdy kids that can't wait for school to get back in to 1) have something to do during the day and 2) get back in some sort of routine for living. But then again, my class schedules generally include some sort of free time and interesting classes, so that doesn't help summer's case. The Career Center's (some appendage of Forsyth technical community college which offers advanced courses that Glenn doesn't) open house is on the 23rd, and Chuck has something called an "orientation" for "college" (whatever that is) on that day but he still better be able to go with me. I've never had classes there, and all the people scare me. I can only hope my leg hair grows out fully before then. Right now it's like half-an-inch long and almost stands straight up. I mean, you can't really tell unless the light hits it, but still. Having razor burn from feeling compelled to shave because of society's habit of deciding what you want for you sucks a lot more. Of course, I'm not trying to say anything about friends of mine who shave their legs and like it, but I don't. :)

I'm kinda tired from last night, considering the only sleep I've gotten in the past ~29 hours was from roughly nine until noon this morning. I had a really good bagel with goat cheese and coffee earlier, though, and that was pretty much worth it. Not to mention spending time with three of my (sometimes) favorite people ever, Double A- Alcoholics Anonymous, birrychrist, and Chuck. To be honest, I was feeling pretty horrible earlier, but I think that's just because I was tired and my uterus was aching something fierce.

Anyway, I'm kinda scared my dad is horribly mad at me and is going to inquire as to what my exploits last night were and why exactly I didn't come home until eight in the morning. I mean, it's not like I was doing anything out of the ordinary, but I feel so guilty when I don't call him and just shake all responsibility. We have to ride in the car together to see if we can get my non-functioning cell phone fixed and I don't want to face his questions.
