Today I explored the A section of my rolodex. I don’t actually have a rolodex but if I did I would have explored the A section. It was a day of movie watching and failed volunteerism. What I mean by failed volunteerism is that I was supposed to help with the WC’s Bath Tub Project. The Bath Tub Project is a drive where hygienic products are collected for local shelters. Today we were supposed to be bagging the products. We were supposed to meet at 1:00. I got a slow start this morning so I ended up grabbing a cab. When I got to the WC at 1:15, they’d finished. Confused? So was I. They started at 12:00 because everything was set up. Worst 11.00$ I ever spent.
But on the upside, a lovely soul named Amanda offered to give me a ride home. She ended up staying over for a bit as we tried to find a movie for her date tonight. After discovering how many movies my family owns that I haven’t seen, she stayed over a little longer to watch a movie with me. It was fun, nice not to be by myself.
Later Abby from work came over to watch The L Word. We got through most of one disc and apparently she’s now addicted. YAY! It really is fantastic. The best part is that she already hates Jenny. It’ll save sooooo much time later if she continues to watch it.
My parents were surprised that I had people over. I guess I’m more of a recluse than I thought. Then again, I’m taking the time to consider the source.
About yesterday’s blog, I should probably mention that my parents and family have made some progress. It’s just very small. I think they’re still in denial because I’ve yet to bring a girl home. PS to Amanda, they asked who you were... you know... who you were. Should I clarify that she’s a straight friend? Anyway, a quiet day.
Oh, I forgot. I was supposed to mention Ian. He’s the men’s issues rep at the WC. He now has a kick ass pair of boots, a very nifty hat that would probably look goofy on anyone but him and actually, very nice hair. There you go Ian. I believe that’s your third mention on my blog.
Thanks to those who read and commented on my rant yesterday by the way.

Haha. Whenever I start hanging out with a new guy friend, my parents ask who he is... even if there isn't anything going on. I guess it's the same kind of thing with your parents asking about Amanda?
ReplyDeleteI think it's getting to the point where you should put Ian in your "Returning Characters" section.
Hi Lauren,

Okay, so "Hi, Ian!" (waves enthusiastically)
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I've fallen behind on your posts again. I'm sorry (hangs head in shame).
I'm off to the next one!
