Can't Wait For Christmas!!!

Yesterday we all went out to dinner again with Scott Free after some of my friends had a recital. It was fun. I laughed a lot with Ricky and had some good talks with Courtney. Ricky gets funnier every day. He said something to me that made me really happy. We were talking about all the things you could do in different situations. Like weird things that would make people feel uncomfortable (my favorite kind of humor. Then he told me that in Greek class, he starts cracking up sometimes cause he thinks about what I could be thinking about. So awesome.

I had really good chicken at the restaurant. Everything was good there. I had this amazing chocolate cake slice there too. Scott Free's wife and I talked about musicals then Courtney, Scott wife and I talked about paradoxes and art. She (Scott's wife) said that science and art are actually incredibly related even though people think of them as separate things. I totally agreed and reminded her of how we, ourselves, are works of art and we walk around in this art piece every day. I brought up the golden ratio too.

Oh my god there was a funny moment down in the bathroom at the restaurant. I went down to pee and there was this picture of a boy holding his disgustingly dirty hands (looks like there is shit on his hands) and he is really smiling. Under the picture, it said, "There is an innovative germ ridding system in this bathroom!" I looked on the toilet seat near the back of the toilet and there was a little circle. Above it, it said, "Put your hand over this!" So I lowered my hand near the seat, unsure of what was going to happen. I figured that it would spray out a little cleaning fluid on my hand or something so I could wash them. But I was confused by it was on the toilet seat. SUDDENLY, this little contraption that looked like a plastic funnel tongue, shot out and pointed down into the toilet. I jumped back and yelled. THEN the toilet seat started turning! I yelled again and started laughing hysterically cause I was afraid I was going to be attacked by a toilet hahaha. The seat turned 360 degrees, stopped and then the tongue shot back up to it's original position. I was so confused with what the hell just happened and laughed even harder, looking in the mirror while I did it. I couldn't contain the rapid, slightly frightened and intrigued laugher that was coming out of my mouth. I held my stomach and saw my pathetic face in the mirror, almost defeated by a toilet. I found out later that the toilet seat turns and cleans itself while it does it. I didn't understand why it was turning AT ALL. I thought it was supposed to clean my hands or something, not clean itself. Oh my god. I went back up to the table and laughed to Ricky, telling him he HAD to check it out. He did and said he laughed.

The rest of the day before the dinner, I spent about three hours waiting for the recital looking at things I wanted for Christmas on the internet. It was successful. Well, not completely successful 'til later that night when I stayed up really late in the dark room. I haven't stayed up til 4am in so long and it felt so good last night. The thing is, Michael always goes to bed so early. Well, for a college kid. And I know he was annoyed by my computer light. I was trying to be quiet. But today I brought it up and asked him if I bothered him. He said it did in a nice way. So I'll have to either use the computer in the bathroom or down in the lobby if I want to stay up. Maybe I should get a book light.

It's weird. It really felt good to get like 5 hours of sleep yesterday. Surprisingly, I've been getting decent sleep lately, like 7 or more each night.

Today, I went and saw Scott Free do his music speech on stage. I really liked his piano composition. Before that I waited for about a half an hour to use the internet on the school computers while little kids played games on one and another guy never got off the other one. I saw him type an email and send it, then look at what he sent, read over it again and start another email. It was funny cause I always read over what I wrote right after I sent it.

The metro station was SO packed today. I was afraid I was gonna be late to class. I was late. 2 minutes. But everyone else was 10 minutes or more late hahaha. Cause of traffic. Something was going on. They all like to take the bus but I don't even have the pass for that cause I don't bother. Walking is so incredibly nice so I do that whenever I can. Why not get some extra exercise?

I just saw on Facebook that Sadayah had answered some Facebook question like, "If Stoddy Blackall had the chance to run a full marathon, what would stop him?" and she answered, "Nothing at all." That made me so happy.

37,

Stoddy.

P.S. That's how many days there are left til I see my fam fam.
