describing my day

today was... good. it was a friday, so everyone was just that bit more laid-back than they usually are. chem: took notes on acids and bases. english: took a hearing test (i think i got a A!) and read 'Fall of the House of Usher'. social studies: watched other people present their current events. math: notes. after i got out early of math for tech-lunch, i saw senpai and we talked for a while. then he had to go back to his class T.T though apparently i smell nice...

after school: (yes rachel, just for you, i will be describing everything as clearly as i remember)

senpai and i had made plans to go to Zern's, a local farmers' market/everything store (senpai had never been there). so at around 7 o'clock, my dad and i left to go to senpai's house and pick him up. the ride over was... awkward to say the least. my dad kept grilling me about senpai, and i couldn't answer some of the questions (i mean, how am i supposed to know how long he's lived here and what his parents do?). but then once senpai was in the car and we all were headed to Zern's it was ok. as per the usual for my parents, my dad started talking to senpai and completely ignoring me. senpai, being the awesome person he is, tried to include me in the conversation (which went from describing Zern's to swords to action movies to CSI), and i was ok with it. then something weird happened. senpai, who only has met my dad once before, asked if he had any problem with tattoos (is this weird, or is it just me?). then he and my dad talked about tattoos for a while.

when we got there, my dad just let us explore, so we went to a pet shop. there was a basset hound puppy in there! it was sad-eyed and wrinkly and tripped on its ears! we fell in love... but it was $399.95, and together we had $25. so we left the puppy and found shiny things, you know those metal spinners that flash in the light? yeah, those were cool... after a while we got bored and wandered around for a while. then, when we were admiring some metalwork stars, a man with a beard walked past us and senpai started talking about how he should grow a beard. i asked why and he said he was too lazy to shave, plus (i think this was joking) when he hugged me it would 'tickle'. i said it wouldn't 'tickle', it would hurt! then i muttered something about never really being attracted to guys with facial hair, even people on tv. then he hugged me and said that he would stay clean-shaven for me! how sweet.

we were bored again, and the weird confessions were over, so we went to rachel's favorite: the antique place that has all the cool hats. we found hats and put them on (ourselves and each other) and took pictures. i found a bonnet! a black velvet bonnet! with lace! (don't worry rachel, senpai made me get the picture, so there's evidence that i did, in fact, look feminine. momentarily.)

then we were thirsty, so i showed him this place where you can get lemonade slushies and we got one. they were kinda expensive though, so we shared. then senpai remembered seeing gummy worms, so we went back to the store that sold them and bought a tupperware container to share. then it was almost time to go, so we went back to the jeep and talked nearly all the way back to senpai's house. we were both sad he had to go, so i gave him a big hug goodbye and he hugged me really tight back. i could swear he whispered something in my ear, but i'm not sure what he said or even if he did...

oh well. i had the time of my life and i think i can reliably say that senpai enjoyed himself too...

that enough detail rachel? i'm lending him my camera on monday so you can see the pictures on facebook, ok?

see ya
