Despite being part of the weekend, today wasn't all that boring! Did some Spanish homework, jogged a bit, sat around in the library and dining hall and talked to people, talked to people in a few other random places, ate more yummy food (actually got to try both the tortellini and the ravioli for lunch this time), met a couple of new or semi-new people (some I had technically met before since I was in classes with them but just didn't remember, others who were completely new), and directed yet another person toward downloading my games and stuff.
When the topic of dating came up when I was talking to someone earlier, they suggested asking a girl to come to the play with me. I didn't, of course (...I actually sort of had someone in mind, too, for the first time in a very long time... I just didn't see her at all today, so of course I couldn't have asked her even if I tried)... I'm honestly not sure I'd be able to pull it off, since I've never been on a date in my life and really don't even know what exactly a date is supposed to be. How do you even ask someone on a date anyway? People make it sound so simple but... it really isn't. Asking girls to dance at the dances is bad enough as it is (though, then again, I did actually manage to do that a couple times already this year...)
Went to the Wizard of Oz play thing (by myself... well, sort of, I kinda went with a bunch of people that I sorta-almost-know a little bit), and generally enjoyed it once I got past the fact that the room was excessively crowded and the people I sat with (minus one) were making me feel a little... I dunno, sort of out of place or unwanted I guess. Not sure why. But anyway, lots of silliness there. A few moments here and there were a bit too "horribly failed attempt at humor"-ish (bird getting shot randomly during "somewhere over the rainbow"... everyone else laughed their asses off, I sat there silently just looking a little annoyed and feeling like the only sane one again for the first time in a while), and there was one joke I just didn't get in there toward the end, but for the most part it was funny and overall really well done. A few bits I didn't remember clearly but then again it's been a very long time since I've seen the original Wizard of Oz, so that's not really much of a surprise.
Random observation: Reese's Pieces are nowhere near as good as peanut butter M&M's. I thought I remembered them being very similar but I was wrong! (They're still good, though... just not as good as the M&M's.)
EDIT: ...tripped over the sidewalk jogging and smashed my knees up pretty bad. Ouch. Fortunately, some random married guy and his wife (who were living nearby where I was jogging) happened to see me trip, so they came over to see if I was okay and then brought me into their house so I could get the wounds cleaned up and band-aid'ed. So it turned out pretty much okay in the end, but still... my knees are really scraped up bad (was bleeding all the way down to my socks before) and I don't know how well I'm going to be able to do my jogging/walking the rest of the week with them like that.
