oh happy day! =)

today was a fantastic day! *beams widely*

for starters, i lasted the entire day. without dozing off in any class, too. right up til i met with ally and dripped icecream all over the road. well there was a panicky hour in econs when i honestly thought i was going to throw up again, a la friday, but i managed to keep breathing and the nausea eventually passed. even managed a huge (and really greasy) lunch at renaldo's with hy. pain more or less suppressed thanks to my much-loved painkillers (although i'm starting up an ache around my eyes again, must take another), cheery songs on itunes, and books waiting to be read. fabulous day, really.

but mostly because i got to see ally. who got some pretty hard looks from the hc people walking by, but no matter, i think she's used to it. we walked to the cellar door to get fig and honey icecream, despite her funny leg (sorry dear) and i, as usual, dripped all over the road coming back. the hot and humid weather didn't really help matters, and i got icecream all over my fingers too. after some tricky juggling with our cones and her books (that involved my accidentally dripping a drop of icecream on her teacher's book :P and equally accidentally flashing the people on the road), we managed to fish tissue out of my bag. then i had a brainwave (this usually only happens after i do something incredibly stupid), poured water from my bottle over my hands onto the dead leaves lining the path, and crowed, 'i'm a genius!' ally snorted and continued taking dainty and un-drippy bites from her cone. un-drippy, that is, until the very last bite, whereupon the melted icecream oozed out and dripped all over her (white) shirt. no prizes for guessing her expression when i burst out laughing and pointed at the drips. ah, ally, my twinnie, what would i do without you? (eat less icecream, maybe.) but icecream and meeting my friends makes me happy, and i'm satisfied.

incidentally, the library is overcrowded these days. went up to do the math hwk that's due tmr while waiting for her to finish school, which proved to be a giant mistake. firstly, i couldn't find a place to sit at first. then when i did, some chinese-speaking people sat down next to me and started speaking really loudly in chinese. fortunately i was doing math and nothing too language-centred even though i think in english and the chinese words were interfering with my thought-process. i think i prefered it when the library was quiet and cold. but i guess we annoy people as much when we do homework in threes and whisper and giggle. remind me not to whisper and giggle. even though i can't seem to stop talking. oh dear.

i'm determined to hunt down the scores of 'santa monica' and '2 beds and a coffee machine'. i imagine the right hand for 2 beds would be very pretty, with lots of trills and flourishes.

read over yesterday's post and realised i swore in it. oh well i'm not so mad today (maybe because i'm thankfully drugged out?) and i'm over being pissy about it. class phototaking on wed and i'm not happy about that. i hate taking photos. period. i could elaborate about how i'm anything but photogenic, how i dislike smiling, how i always come out looking like something a blind cat wouldn't adopt, but that would take a long time and spoil my mood.
