today was a pretty good day. � you know something? it's a beautiful thing to watch my rat emily. she's the most affectionate out of all of the er.. "family" we have now. hehe. i think she's absolutely gorgeous. i should post a picture one day. she's just the cutest little thing. it's her personality that really makes her glow. i love to just watch her scamper around and explore everything. watching her curiosity grow, makes me realize how beautiful every creature on this earth is. lol. i know it sounds corny and you probably would laugh if you could do such a thing. but i really feel that way. there's not a day that goes by when i'm amazed by all the beauty around us. i love nature and everything that has formed b/c of it. except, er.. humans can be a part of that exception at times. heh. of course we create a lot of ugliness as well. anyways...
today! what did i do today? i woke up at 7, did my morning ritual. went to my trig class at 9. went to irvine to go to my chem class at 11. chem was kinda boring today, the lab was pretty boring too b/c we didn't DO a lab! we watched a video on "safety" and checked out our lockers. *yawn* there's this semi cute guy in our chem class. but, you know tobey. i really want to improve that area of myself. not how i look, but how i view other people. i've always been too quick to judge people based on how they look. which isn't fair, or right for that matter. do you remember how i told you about that guy a long time ago? the one i met at tapioca. the one that i thought was NOT cute. the one i thought was kind of strange. the one i gave my number to b/c i didn't want to lie. the one i wouldn't talk to. when i think back on things like that, i feel so ashamed of myself! i feel like a jerk. b/c it's all so wrong. in reality, it's probably the "beautiful" people that are the kind of people i wouldn't want to meet. specially guys! guys that are more attractive tend to have the general trend of... what shall i call this.. retardedness? jerkiness? impoliteness? of course, i'm not saying that is always true. it just tends to lean more that way. b/c when beautiful people KNOW that they are beautiful, they tend to think that they are better then those that are not. which is a wrong assumption to make. so i donno. anyways, this "cute" guy. he sits right across from me in chem lab. and he seems nice. we just had classroom conversation. you know, the kind that you just talk strictly about boring classroom stuff. and when i think about it, i know that even though i know it's wrong. i still treat people differently on basis of gender, sex, appearance, ect. and i really need to change that. b/c i don't want to treat anyone differently. i mean, everyone deserves to be treated w/ humanity equally. (w/ the exception of murderers, rapists, ect. you know!) and you know what? i also think that everyone deserves a second chance. at anything. wether it be love, friendship, schoolwork, jobs, ect. b/c everyone is human, and everyone makes mistakes. god knows i've made countless mistakes in my life, and you know, i've been lucky enough to have people that grant me that second chance, lots of times! and i'm grateful, and i learn from them. not that i still don't have my faults, b/c i've got lots of that also. hehe. but you know, i'm just saying.. if someone does wrong to you the first time, it's their fault. if someone wrongs you a second time, it's still their fault, and you shouldn't forgive them (unless under EXTREME circumstances.), if someone wrongs you a third time, it's YOUR FAULT. anyways, how did i get on this topic when i was in the middle of telling you what i did today? haha, it started w/ a GUY! how silly of me, to let that get me off track. BLEH. anyways, this journal is not really organized, so you understand. heh. anyhoo, after chem, i went home to rest a bit. then i went to pick up sushi at the library, and we both went to tillys. b/c i had a store credit there. i found some good stuff that i really wanted! a plain white tank top, a black jacket, and a backpack. :) i was excited! cause i had been looking for a plain white tank top (not that spaghetti strap kind.. EhhhH.. :P), and i couldnt find one anywhere! and i was looking for a black jacket, (b/c my sister had lost my a/x one.. grr.. the one that was expensive!! ahh), and i got a backpack!! so it's good b/c me and my sister don't have to share anymore. hehe. i bought her a tank top too. b/c i dont want her to steal mine all the time, and yes she will. the backpack was only 20 bucks! well, i think thats a good price for a backpack. it's just a plain black dickies one. but good for school. :) i thought it would be a lot, but it's not! it was cheaper than the jansport backpacks. :P they were 30!! after that, i dropped my sister off at school for dance practice, then i went to barnes and noble to do some hmwk. danny stopped by later to get some $$ i owed him from a LoOOoongg time ago. and... after that, i went home!! and now... i am off to read some more 'lord of the rings' i'm about.. 1/8 done with the book. lol i have a lot more to go! i try to read a little every night. i have so many books i have in line to read, but it's just that i know im gonna get pretty busy with school and all. bleh. anyways, better get started!! ttyl tobey. take cares. :)
