Day Six
Sixth Day...
So, today was pretty uneventful. I finished up Slumdog Millionaire, which I thought was a good movie. The only problem was that I was expecting it to be spectacular due to the hype, but either way, I wasn't thoroughly disappointed or anything. I did find the storyline to be fresh and something I'd never seen before, and the music was awesome. The children actors were awesome. So, definitely recommended.
I watched the Kentucky Derby today with my mom and sister. We always do. It's the only sport any of us watch. We cracked open some wine and just sat there and watched. Didn't talk much though, as my sister and I kept getting into fights. (She made another 'joke' yesterday and early today, so I was a little pissed. Luckily, my mom did say something. Woohoo!)
Good Derby, although the horse I wanted to win didn't. Even so, the Jockey of Mine That Bird more than made up for it. His face, oh my god! He was so damn excited! It was adorable. I wanted an idea of him spazzing with the word 'Yay!' on it, XD!
Also, due to my graduation coming up soon, I've turned to a lot of nostalgia lately. I'm listening to music I listened to in Middle School and early High School (I'm trying to stay away from things that remind me of those two friends of mine, those of you who've read even a couple of my more personal rants will know who they are.) Hell, I'm even playing Pokemon again, just for the hell of it. It's sort of fun! Unfortunately, a lot of the old music makes me a bit sad because most of my friendships from Middle School also fell apart.
Coincidentally enough, in one of them, I was abandoned for someone else (again) and in the other, though we drifted apart, in the end, I did the abandoning. I feel terrible about it; especially since, at the time, I didn't realize what I was doing. I didn't know how much it hurt her. I've apologized so many times, but we'll never be the same. She's got new friends, a boyfriend she's been dating for almost two years - of whom I've never even fucking met. So, when I think about her, I definitely feel guilty. I fucked up, I know it. Luckily, she's more than okay, so, I suppose, no permanent harm done. We stopped having a lot in common my Freshman year anyways.
But all of this nostalgia makes me wish for simpler times, like it does for a lot of people. I realize how much of a step I'm taking, going to college. I'm scared, and I really wish things wouldn't change, but yet I'm sort of excited. I'm not looking forward to the massive workload, but I hope I can find new friends that won't abandon me, or that I won't be foolish enough to lose. (I know I have some good friends now, ones that read this LJ and are probably feeling rather unappreciated right now, so don't take it the wrong way... I'm not saying you suck or anything.) I just want to meet new people, learn new things, really start my life.
With that in mind, here's hoping to the future.
