Yesterday was a pretty good day (aside from the still-present pain whenever I bend my knees), just not a whole lot to really say about it. Unless I wanted to go into detail about every single time I talked to a cute girl, in which case I'd have a very, very long blog post since there's so freaking many of them here and most of them actually seem to like talking to me.
Bumped into a few new people yesterday, some of which I might actually remember the names of today or tomorrow if I see them again. Finished a painting assignment (clouds and trees--and oddly, the first tree and the last cloud turned out the best, with the two in the middle being mostly "eh"), and then sat in the library literally watching paint dry for a while.
Also looked around in the library for books by Terry Pratchett, since one of the girls I've met reccommended his books to me and having something to read during the "there's nothing going on!" hours would be great... but apparently the school library doesn't have any of them. Maybe I'll try to get on one of those shuttles that travels to one of the other school libraries in Lexington sometime and see if they have them.
Poked around a bit on Facebook, looking for people's pages who I hadn't seen before, and stumbled upon a few people I knew... which also unfortunately meant stumbling across all of the info they put on their pages, which in one case was a little bit discouraging. I'm not entirely sure, but from the look of it after a brief glance, one of my friends here is pretty much the polar opposite of me politically... I guess it's a good thing that I've been avoiding the mention of any sort of political stuff. I'm guessing she's not the rabid political fanatic type at least, since I've talked to her quite a bit and haven't heard anything that would suggest she's like that... but it does kinda make me worry even more about how things would go if I, I dunno, tried to ask her out or something (...which is actually something I've been considering more and more lately.) Actually, that worries me even more than the problems that the religious differences might cause, since she's a Mormon and I'm something else. Guh... why is it that I always end up so attracted to girls that are so far away from me on political issues and only find out later? Seriously, this is like the third time this has happened, and it's always the girls I really like...
And now, after that depressing crap, time for the random silliness! During the "meet the student government candidates" thing the guy announcing stuff mis-pronounced something as "waffle;" unfortunately I can't remember what, since I think it was funnier with the rest of the sentence/phrase in place instead of just "waffle" by itself. Also, I learned that fencers have to cover up every little bit of their skin, so they wear absurdly long socks in order to keep themselves from being sword-poked just below the kneepad (which explains why one of the girls I've met always wears long sleeves, long pants, and long socks even when it's hot out; she fences and has gotten so used to wearing "long everything" that not having the absurd knee-high-or-higher socks feels weird.)
