Jan 26 - Feb 1 2025

 On Sunday me and Apollo hung-out. Apollos mom made them go to church so I went with them. We just sat out in the lobby. We drank tea and talked. After that we went out to a  Chinese buffet with their family.

On Monday, I dressed “normal” (cause I’m normal pretty alternative) just to see how my friends would react. They were confused, said it was uncanny. I also ended up getting hit on by a guy in one of my classes. He has a girlfriend which definitely makes it worse

On Tuesday I was back to dressing how I normally do. I don’t really remember the day. I remember hitting my leg on some falling shit in the shop during theater. I also remember scraping my finger on a rusty trash can in theater. It was also the day I realized, the two people in my theater who can run lights are both seniors. Pineapple and Strawberry, no one else knows how to run lights. Since they’re seniors they need to train someone to run lights for next year. I began plotting.

By Wednesday morning I had come up with a super complex villainous plot. Step one, wait for Pineapple to say something about lights. Step two, casually ask “how does running lights actually work?” Step three, hope she offers to teach me. I present the facts and the plot to Bluey at lunch. She suggests I just ask, or that she asks for me. I tell her that this plot will definitely work. It gets to theater time, Bluey has gone home early since she wasn’t feeling well. I’m now on my own. Eventually, Pineapple says something about the light booth, and I take my chance. IT ACTUALLY FUCKING WORKS. She offers to teach me during the musical!!! She also took me to the light booth and showed me the basics. Pineapple honestly probably knew it was all a plot but that’s okay. Me and Apollo hung out at youth group after theater. Apollo brought me the McDonald’s Shadow toy because they were deeply sick of my shit.

In first block on Thursday,  I cut a piece of metal out of the cut on my pinkie with a pencil sharpener blade. Carrie didn’t appreciate it. Other than that the school day was uneventful as far as I can remember. After school though, my mother and I went shopping for dress cloths for the formal on Friday. I was just gonna wear my interp cloths but she wanted to do some parental bonding.

On Fridays I went through the school day as usual. Got through theater as usual. Then finally it was time for the dance. I went home and got dressed. I met up with some friends, including Bluey. Me and one of my friends were platonically holding hands and one of the girls who’s in theater and interp with me did like multiple double takes. Then me and that same friend were slow dancing later. So there may or may not be MORE dating allegations I’ll have to fight. My entire friend group and I left the dance left the dance like 30min early and went to Walmart, we got cookies then sat in my friends car and ate them. Overall it was really fun.

On Saturday, I went over to my friend Tony’s house. We watched helluva boss and dyed his hair. We also re-dyed my hair. That’s pretty much all I did.

Sorry this post is so late again. I got a journal and have been righting in it daily, so next weeks post should be better quality and hopefully on time.
