soundtrack: ian pooley: spicy snapper
i'm exhausted today. the lady that usually does my braids opened a shop in northeast dc, so i went down there to get them done. what should of taken 5-6 hours to do, took 12-13 hours and i didn't leave till 12.45 in the morning. got home and of course, anybody that ever gets braids knows, you can't sleep on your head... and i'm such a restless sleeper already... i didn't get any sleep. woke up and went to church mad tired. after church, went to a friend's house for lunch.
it seems that everybody is getting a house nowadays. i don't know when i'll be able to get a house. i'm trying to think down the line and i'm just not seeing it. one of my friends suggested that the rents would probably help if al and i went into a townhouse together. it's a great idea, but with al going to school at upenn in a year or two and me not even knowing where i'm going to be, i don't think it's going to happen. maybe someday.
went to rehersal today: they were talking about me missing rehersal yesterday... but they shouldn't complain cos i told them that would be a possibility. we're singing next week. i know i never talk about singing or the group i'm in... at least a whole lot anyway, but i feel inclined. when we started i was the only alto. i didn't really mind because i have a strong voice (don't mean to toot my own horn.. this is what i've been told). anyways, since then, we have added another alto. she's not really strong... you can hardly hear her and her range is limited, so with our high notes, she often ends off flat. i try to help her, but she doesn't seem to pick it up at all. it gets to me so much that i often end up singing sharp to compensate in my head... ugh! she's an on and off person; she just started coming back to rehersals after a 7-month laspe. i don't know.. i'm trying to deal with that situation.
one of the things that made conversation when nic, the boy and i were riding around looking for a place to eat was the biochem crew. i mentioned how i emailed a couple of them including M and it was as if i gave them bitter herb to eat, the faces that nic and the boy made. i know that the way M split from the group was selfish; she simply stopped talking to us. we were used to help her get a good grade and then when she was done, she had no use for us anymore, even though she's still denying it. i don't blame them for not trying to reach out. the whole point of me trying is to show her that friendship is more than just 'how can you help me?' i don't know if she'll ever realize that.
anyway. even after sleeping for most of the afternoon and then waking up just about an hour ago to eat, i'm still tired. i'm calling it a night.
peace.
