My Day...

I woke up at the perfect time today, 11:30am. I got online and was greeted by my friend Nasha on MSN. I was also focusing a bit on Los Hombres De Paco seeing as Silvia is going to die/has died and I am curious about it now...lol. Sounds to me like Pepa is going to end up having a nightmare and everything will be fine! Relax ladies...Relax! It is after all, a soap opera.

After the chat was over and I had finished watching some lovely clips on youtube of Pepa and Silvia, aka: PepSi, I woke my brother up. "Dude! Lunch today." I said as I shook him. We had been planning to go to our fave Chinese place forever, plus he owed me for buying him his cigs. At 16, it is seriously his ONLY bad habit. He doesn't drink and he has given up drugs, so we all just kinda figure that if smoking is as bad as it gets, let him!

"What time is it?" He asks, rubbing his eyes.

"Its like 1:30pm." I reply. "You slept all day."

"Okay...Take a shower..." He orders me. "And be quick!"

"Yes sir." I reply back in a snoody voice, grabbing my towels from the hanger in my room and heading off to take my shower. I know he will take longer than me to get ready, but thats okay, I wanna eat my fave won ton soup today.

After I am done getting ready, I get out the bus schedule. "Aw what?" My bro complains. "We don't get a ride?"

"Nope." I shake my head. "Next bus is at 2:30."

"But...I gotta get my gf at some point." He tells me.

"Well, we can try to wake up sis, but I don't think she will be too happy about it." I tell him.

He nodds, but before we can wake her up, our dad pulls up. I CAN drive, but I have been in two car accidents and prefer not to. My bro is learning how to drive, but since I have only had my license for three years, he can't drive with me, it has to be with someone who has had it for four or more years.

"Pop's home!" I shout.

"Sweet!" My bro smiles and we get a ride with him. We eat lunch and chat about all sorts of things. He wants to get a job at ACE, a hardware store near our house. "I can only work part time," he tells me, shoveling some more of his Mongolian Beef into his mouth. "But it sounds like a good job and all."

"It is." I tell him. I used to work there, but I worked my way up in the job world and now I cost too much for ACE.

After we are both done with lunch, we walk around a bit and wait for our sister to come and get us. I can't go home as I have to head downtown and pick up some books from the library that I have on hold. Today is my errand day.

Yesterday I went to the dentist and got told my wisdoms need out, today I got an e-mail saying my books were ready for pick up at the library. My dental hygenist is a total hottie! Got lucky in that department at least. Plus she has that sexy Russian accent!!! WOOHOO!!!

Anyways, I have my sister drop me off at the bus station downtown so that way I can get around on the buses and she doesn't have to worry about me all day. She whines when she has to be my "chauffer". She is planning on spending the day with her best friend Paula, who is going to Romania on the 20th. Those two are TIGHT...as in joined at the hip TIGHT. I have to wonder sometimes about if they will end up experimenting with their sexuality or if they are just generally straight. Hmmm...Whatever!

I get to the bus station and the bus isn't coming for another 25 minutes or more. I head up the street to the cafe and get an Italian Soda just to kill time and because I am craving it. I see a hot tall blonde girl on my way up and check her out, but she def. doesn't notice because she is on her phone. Probably with her boyfriend or something I assume.

I get back to the bus station and I meet this dude that looks like Bill Cosby, but his name is actually Louis (Loo-iss). He tells me about how he is picking up his Mustang from the shop downtown and how he will be so glad to get it back because he is not liking taking the bus everywhere. We see our bus pass right by us and we run to it confused. The bus driver explains that she is going in the opposite direction and we both look embarrassed.

The actual bus we need comes a few minutes late, but that is normal. It smells like weed and sweat on there, and its not surprising since it was 90 degree weather today and extremely humid. In the back, there are the skater kids, they must be what is making the bus smell like weed I think to myself, taking a seat as far away from them as possible.

In the middle of the bus, two girls with corn colored blonde hair are sitting on either side of a cute little Asian chick. All three have Starbucks. "I invited Amy to the mall too, but I don't know if she will show." One of the blondes says, sipping her drink. The other two just nod.

Sitting by herself up front is an Indian girl reading a book. Normally I would talk to her because thats just what I do, but she seems very interested in her book and also looks exhausted or perhaps mad, so I think its best to leave her be.

A mother and daughter who are going to the same library as I am get on the bus and we all start to chat. The daughter is 14 and she is drinking an energy drink. "My friend told me that they put bull sperm in that." I tell her.

She just shrugs. "Thats gross, but I need the energy." She admits. She has a walk man, something I haven't seen in years! Its quite funny. Apparently her grandma sent it her way after cleaning out the closet. Her mom asks what she is listening to. "Ummm...Tori Amos..." She replies. Her mom nods.

"Your going to put the walk man back in style!" I tell her. She just laughs and nodds, sipping at her energy drink again.

In the back, a really old man was yaking away on his cell phone in Russian and it was hilarious. He didn't know how to work it and kept on saying "zdrasvoi..." over and over into it, but he refused to hit the green answer button. Every time it would ring, he would look at it like it was evil or something.

We all got off at the park and ride down there and I made my way to the library with the woman and her daughter who were also heading down there. I got my books and continued to look around the library. It was driving me insane that there were no gay books there, so I got on a computer, found some gay fiction writers on Amazon.com and put in for them to hold any books that were.

After that, I had a giant craving for Herfy's Burgers! I can't believe how much time I spent at the library...Time flies! It was already like 6:00pm. I walked over there, which it was quite a walk and the weather was extremely hot. I got an awesome burger and enjoyed it very much. After that, I headed over to this place called "McDoanld's Book Exchange", where they have all sorts of books, and I looked for Sarah Waters books. Sadly, they didn't have any!

As I walked out of there, I noticed an old Indian woman heading past me. She wore a yellow and orange Sari and her hair was very white. I could tell that in her day she was probably a beauty, and I shot her a very nice warm smile which she returned. I have a lot of respect for elders...

I walked to "Half Price Books", which was fairly close, and I still could not find any Sarah Waters books! It was getting frustrating! However, in the process I did spot a really hot girl wearing a Buddah necklace. I told her i liked her necklace and she smiled, thanked me, and played with her necklace a bit. She looked Middle Eastern, but I couldn't be sure.

After that, I headed to "Borders" to look for Sarah Waters books again, and I found them, but they were extremely expensive! I never spend a ton on books because usually I use the library, but seriously, these were like $25.00 books! I talked briefly with an elderly lady and her daughter and then I headed to the bus stop because it was time to go home. I had been downtown all day and as nice as the weather was, I was ready to rest and relax.

I got on the bus and headed home. I read most of the way there since the bus was so empty. As I approached my street, I could hear the usual hustle and bustle of my neighborhood. The Latins on the streetcorner shouting whatever at each other, the rich people who constantly fight in front of their mansion, the children riding bikes up and down the hill. I live in probably the safest neighborhood ever. I am lucky. Today was a good day. And as I get home, I am greeted by my parents, who act like they care where I have been all day, and I tell them, to which they casually nod and reply "thats nice Dear."

My sister and brother get home from doing whatever and Paula and my bros gf are with them. Mother wants to talk about my sister's new love interest, some friend of Paula's named Peter. He is a "good boy who wears a promise ring!" I remember when I was SUPPOSED to be attracted to those...I was NEVER attracted to those! Haha!

And that was my day!!!
