Second day of summer school was... okay, I won't lie. It was boring. Excruciatingly so. I had to wait half an hour till there were enough tennis raquets for my friends to play a decent game of doubles and even then they quit after half an hour. So everyone just gathered and talked in the shade. Fun.

Nutrition break was a bit interesting. Bought a bottle of Sprite and used half of it to down a packet of Pop Rocks (courtesy of Sera), and I continually felt those things poping. And in my leg no less. -_-;;

Second half of the day was every bit as non-entertaining as the first. Badmitton wore out it's fun half an hour into play and cardgames were gone twice as fast. Sitting around talking about people in yearbooks also gets boring quickly. Short attention span, anyone?

So tomorrow I plan to bring my backpack complete with things to keep me entertained: CDs and player, sketchbook, "art" book for Sera to peruse, and the requisite deck of cards.

I'm guessing one of the reasons why I'm so utterly bored in that class is the fact that I have to hold myself back. Back in LVA I was allowed to be as freaky and "familiar" as I wanted to be and all my friends were understanding. At summerschool though, all my friends are... well, let's say disagreeable with my preferences. One friend says she's cool with gay people (keep in mind that she doesn't know about me) but you can tell that she feels uncomfortable whenever surrounded by them. Another is a semi-strict catholic (as opposed to my faux-catholicism) who thinks homosexuality is down-right dirty. Naturally I don't dare say anything then... but frankly my closet is a bit too small and stuffy so I can't breath.

The only one I can "act gay" with in the room is my sis (which is precisely what we did while watching the Real World reunion earlier this evening. Go Danny!). Sometimes some of the things she says bothers me. For instance, in a conversation with C where I was sitting between the two:
C: "I don't get how a guy can kiss another guy! It's so gross!"
sis: "I know!"
I know, I know. She's just trying to protect me and herself, but hearing that agreement coming from her mouth... kinda betrays all the conversations we've had about the subject, huh? I dunno.

Hrm... Seems like a good time to look back on all my "serious" crushes:
- Mike Z.
- Mike S.
- Eric D.
- Nick C. (no, not the BSB member)
- Chris M. (Topher)
- Brady J.
- James .R
Being lovelorn sucks.

I'm taking another guess and saying that my current mood is the result of a mainly-pistachio diet this past week.
