Mixed entry.
This entry encompasses multiple fascets of my life during the past few weeks. It's been a rough ride, I'll section it into cuts so that those who only care about one or two things can go there and ignore the rest.
As you all know, Mr. Christoph is moving away. This guy was, in a word, awesome. He did everything, knew more. He was the best teacher I've ever had, and it wasn't a close race. He was the blocker for Dance Dance Revolution Club, he kept the Administration off our backs whenever they felt we weren't being productive. He inspired a lot in a lot of people, and there's nothing valuable enough to repay that. But enough about that.
He's moving away, to Washinton(state). He had an auction to sell off his stuff before going, because he wanted to sell off his stuff and start again there. I went. I bought stuff. Such as the ginormous ball of Yarn. I inherited a crapton of books from him, as payment for moving most of his collection onto a haywagon by myself. This was the best part of this whole thing, 'cause I got to spend some time with him. We talked, shared some last minute wisdom.
Though, in all this, I'm not sad that he's leaving. He's going where he wants to go, which is about the best thing anyone can do. It's one of the reasons we exist, I believe, is to be able to pack up and move werever the crap we want, whenever the crap we want, and no one can tell us otherwise. But, it means that I probably will never see him again. And again, it doesn't sadden me.
Seems strange to me that someone who means so much to me, can up and move, and I'm not sad. Ah well, guess it's a quirk in the human psychology, or maybe just mine....
I've been spending a literal crapTON of time with my Daughter lately. We've done a lot of stuff. We've been to the movies, to King's Island, to my place, to Katie's, to my place, to the Mall, to Comic Book World, to my place, to her sister's house(btw, Balto is such an awesome Dog), to my place, in her car, in my place, to Church, to my place. We've been spending a lot of time together. I like it, though. It's been fun.
King's Island was amazing. I think we had more fun in the arcade than we did on the roller coasters :P She's my DDR manager now. I was playing on the machine, and I started to draw a crowd. I turned around after I was finished, and was like WOW. I waved to the crowd and stepped off. She said there was 19 people there watching me. That was amazing. Then we spent two hours shooting stuff.
She went to Church with me last weekend. I was hoping to be able to sit with her in the pew the whole time, but I couldn't, because the guy I had replace me in the Sound Booth(I do the Projections for the slides for songs and the sermon), messed up and I had to leave for about 10 minutes heh. Sorry 'bout that, I swear that NEVER happens. I hope she really enjoyed it, she seemed nervous the whole time, but said she was alright.
Speaking of church, we've got a Chinese Foreign Exchange student living with one of the families at church. She's a BEAST a Ping-Pong.
Lately I've been thinking about people. People I know, to be specific. Last night they kept me up passed 2 AM. It's all stupid stuff that I don't really have a right to be upset about, but I am. I feel as if a few of my friendships are slipping away from me, due to no actions of my own. I can't do anything to save them because I never talk to those people anymore. It's not just one person, it's several people. Several of my friends who I once talked to all the time, who I used to actually hang out with ALL the time, no longer seem to have interest in me. They've met other people and I get thrown to the side because hanging out and talking to me is aparently just too inconvienient for them. UGH!! I don't have reason to be mad about this!! I'm feeling...resentment...?? I don't know exactly. I just want to go to UC, where I can make all sorts of new friends, and be close to new people, and not have to rely on the same small group of people for friendship. Then when one of them moves on from me, it wont hit me so hard. I hate this. I hate that I feel...rejected...but for no aparent reason. I can't even really put a fine point on why I feel that way.....maybe it's just another quirk....
Work is fine.
End.
