"6:06 PM

So, here I am in the middle of sis' first orchestra concert, writing down this entry on the back of a sheet of paper I got from the Pride Alliance meeting. The weather is getting progressively cold (expected to drop to the 50's) and I only have one layer on. Oops.

Much to speak of today, so I must begin from this morning:

English: Ms. Miller was feeling a bit more eccentric/amusable this morning. I'm sinking further and further into my copy of American Gods; a testament to Mr. Gaiman's incredible gift for narrative. Halfway through the class we had to go up for our hearing and eye tests. Results are as follows: normal hearing, right eye 20/20, left eye 20/780. Wha?!

World H: Took notes on a particular section of the chapter and then had to present it to the class with our group. Got stuck with Joey, and he wanted to do intepretive dance... so we did. Or rather he and Claire did, the rest of the group read the narration. Loads of fun to be had. Later, due to testing, we had a half hour to chill and do just about anything. So, I finished studying for the Chemistry test and talked with friends. Leilani sat on my lap most of the time listening to Incubus on my CD player. About ten or twenty minutes till the bell rang, Nikki's boyfriend came to pay her a visit. He is incredibly sweet!

Chemistry: Took a test. Didn't talk too much afterwards. Jyl told me that she came out to her mom (wrote a note and left it infront of her doorjust when she opened it). Funny thing is, she didn't realize it was national Coming Out day. Hn. Now she's been really scared about what her mom'll think when she gets back home.

Lunch: More or less uneventful. Well... except for the huge laughs we got while pairing celebrities with others of the (supposedly) same sex. (ex. Rosie O'Donnell & Madonna, Martha Stewart and Joan Rivers, Michael Jackson and Haley Jole Osmett).

Art: Continued to work on sculptures. Looked at Patty's "sprained" ankle and found out that it was a badly torn ligament instead.

Pride Alliance: Holy shit there're a lot of people in this club. Too many fun things to note, but I will name a few highlights: Justin's numerous foul-ups, Danny being a bit overly eager (claps enthusiastically when Mrs. Williams states that one of the club's goals is to "promote same-sex pairings as a normal life-style"), same aforementioned teacher saying that the club wasn't a "sex club" and half of the members feigned leaving, a lot of my friends being there, snuggling up between Patty's thighs (really good cushion), everyone pouncing on my sketchbook and issue of XY. Afterwardsm saw a 20 minute special from MTV (yay Gideon Yago!) about hate crimes towards gay people.

Currently I'm in the gorgeous facilities of the Sammy Davis Jr. Center. The trees are underlit, there's a beautiful lake outside with clear water and accenting islands, the stage is large, the peach lightings perfectly matches the venetian red at the adobe-esque, and (for the most part) beautifully played orchestrations. Exquisite!

Brr... now it's quite cold."
