Thank goodness for "Neighborhood Watch"

Friday 11/11, Day off, so I tried to sleep in but wasn’t very successful. I spent the entire morning in bed, watching Secretary and Saved by the Bell: The College Years…yikes! I did some laundry and finally Mom came over and we discussed counters and tile and went to Home Depot to go scope them out. I think I’m going to get a second opinion at Lowe’s though cause they weren’t very helpful at Home Depot and won’t come out to measure my counters before I order them. Did more laundry when I got home and earlier had hooked up the speakers and rearranged the wires and stuff on the stereo stuff. After Susan got home I got the VCR hooked up to the tv so now we get channels above 65. We watched our usual HGTV shows while eating pizza with ranch, then I left to go to B’s. We hung around and didn’t do much until our 9:40 showing of Broken Flowers at the Crest. Ehhhh. Neither of us was terribly impressed though I have many more theories about it now than I did when I walked out. We went to bed when we got home but around 1:30 Chrystol woke us up telling me that the neighbor hit my car and that they didn’t leave a note but she had gotten the make/model/license plate number and had noticed the white paint scraped down the side of the car on theirs. She had seen the whole thing from her upstairs window and has now picked up the nickname “Neighborhood Watch”. So I called my insurance and they said to call the police since technically it’s a hit and run, so I did and that was at like 1:45 and the dispatcher person said it would take “a while” which turned out to be 2 hours so I curled up with a wool blanket from Chrystol in the chair in the living room and tried to sleep. Two cops showed up at 3:45 and I woke up Chrystol and she gave them the account and then the one officer told me that I may not have a say in it, but he may have to arrest someone, but if they want to exchange information would I want to do that. So I said yes and that I didn’t want anyone to get arrested, I just wanted my car to be fixed and have someone acknowledge it. So they go over and pound on the door for 15 minutes and no one ever answers. So he said he would be back in a few hours and check again, so it was after 4:00 by the time I got to bed and of course I couldn’t fall asleep forever…

Thursday 11/10, I got off of work a little early and went home to relax because of terrible cramps, so I took a long, very hot shower and then laid in bed for a little while. That helped, so I got ready and left to go to B’s house. We ended up falling asleep and I left at around 10:15 to meet Susan in the lot. When we got there there was an insane line, because most people had Friday off we were guessing. The bouncer is kind of remembering us I think, but not enough to where we don’t have to show our ids. Beau had a shirt that said “Love is for Losers” and at first I thought it said “Love is for Lovers” and I was like “Aww, he’s a romantic!” but apparently not after Susan corrected my thinking. We danced in our usual spot and saw Derek lurking around a lot, though Blue shirt wasn’t there. Um, we made a couple of trips upstairs to watch the crowd, a couple of trips outside though it was freezing, but mainly we stayed on the dance floor. The songs were actually pretty good, though no Duran Duran got played. Boo. Thomas came and found us and we bumped butts, and he’s surprisingly got some bump in his trunk, I was impressed. Plus he’s really hot, so there’s that. Red Hoodie was back and I don’t think he’s gay, he might be bi though, but he is soooo cute, I’m so glad I have a new crush, though it’s not like I get to talk to him or anything, especially when he’s got his arm draped around some stupid girl. Richie dissed me again by not showing up, oh well. Craig showed up with a hat and some stubble and came over and briefly said hi, then went to dance with some girls who looked like pre-pubescent boys. Is that mean? Sorry, I guess I just call it like it is. I think I’m too womanly for him to give me a second glance. Oh well again. I was pretty tired so I didn’t stay very late, only like 1:20 or so.
