mymichele's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wise Dr. Laura, dorky friends who rock the hizhouse, and the Olive Garden Hi again. My name is Dixie. Dixie Normous. So yes, last night me and Dorkus Boy went to see the greatness that is Austin Powers. While I must say the 2nd one was by far the funniest, this one had its moments too. Lots of moments. I disliked the end, but the rest of his was freakin hilarious. They had the Osbournes do a cameo, for fuck's sake! And Tom Cruise, Gweneth Paltrow, John Travolta, Kevin Spacey, and Danny DeVito all did cameos. That was really good times. Mike Myers.. I love Mike Myers. He is an evil genius, and I want to have 10,000 of his babies. I wish to tell you what I did this morning before I go onto events of yesterday. I watched this special on VH1 about the weirdest rock videos or some such, and I saw that they were going to talk about November Rain, right? So I watched the whole damn show, which really was kinda funny because they had Adam Corrolla and Jimmy Kimmel and Tenacious D on there, and I really wanted to go get Subway but I didn't want to leave and miss Axl! So I stayed and of course #1 was freakin Guns N Roses! I felt like I had wasted my precious time when I could have just gotten Subway and then come back and watched #1! Anyway, that was boring and I apologize. So, yesterday I had a social day. So social that I didn't even have time to update! What a concept! The day started with my running to Wal-Mart to get a present for the wedding I was going to attend. Why Wal-Mart? Well, I dunno. I didn't have much money or much time, so I thought that was a good place to go. Anyway, I searched through the aisles until I found the perfect present: a snow cone machine. Yes, that's right! And before you laugh at my choice, think to yourself.. who else would have given her a snow cone machine? That's right, nobody. She's going to need something to do on her honeymoon aside from all the hot sex, right? Snow cones! So this wedding I was going to was a chick that I don't know very well anymore. I haven't talked to her in almost a year. We used to be in the same community group, so I think I got invited merely by default since she invited the other girls in the group. So Crazy Friend and I met at the Olive Garden, and I ventured way off from my diet to have some pizza. I gotta say.. the pizza at the Olive Garden is some good stuff, yes inded. I love Crazy Friend and everything, but lordy, the girl can't tell a story for shit. She told a story for 30 minutes about how she and her friend took a road trip to Wichita Falls and couldn't find a hotel. The ones she did find were scary and had dirty carpets and she had to run a red light in front of a sherrif because some dude was knocking on her window asking for drugs or something. And I'm sure that would have been an interesting story if she didn't tell me every single detail of every single moment on this trip. I know I'm not a very captivating storyteller either, but lordy! This one almost put me to sleep! So after our lovely lunch, we hauled ass to the church. It's funny, because the church this wedding was at is the church that I used to go to when I was a wee one. So I have kinda fond memories and stuff. We were pretty much the last people there. They were closing the doors as we got in there, so that was a little embarrasing, indeed. The wedding was nice. The bridesmaids (which included Diet Friend) had beautiful dresses and the flower girl was the cutest child I had ever seen in my whole life. The bride looked gorgues and ladee la la. Both families are very religious and Christian-like, so that was very present at the wedding. They wrote their own vows, and I gotta say.. these vows are something a feminist would have some problems with. I know it's godly and everything and I probably don't have any right to have a problem with it, but it just bothered me. She was saying things like, "I promise to make your home a comfortable place to come home to, and I will love only for you, and I will put my needs behind yours, and I will submit to you..." and I was just like.. oohhkay. I just don't know how to feel about that. Obviously she isn't going to submit to his every need at every moment in their life, but what about her? Those vows never gave her any kind of strength, they didn't glorify her in any way, and I just couldn't get past that. It's weird too because the part that I feel I play in me and BB's relationship. I was listening to Dr. Laura the other day and she said when she was pregnant with her son, she used to say to her husband, "If I change 200 diapers a day, you're going to change 200 diapers a day." And she thought she wasn't going to a single thing more than what her husband did. But after she had the baby and her life changed, she realised that life isn't like that. You do what needs to be done and you go about your business. And I see that with me. I feel like BB should get off his ass and get his own drink from the refrigerator, but I do it anyway. When I'm over there, I cook. I clean the kitchen. I do domestic things that I feel we should do together. And that's just what happens. So do I really have the right to question her vows? Anyway, that confused and bothered me, but let's move on! The girl who got married is only 23, and they've only known each other for like 2 years, which really isn't that bad when I think about it. But I think they're just getting married so soon so they can go have some crazy christian sex. But that's just me. I brought the snow cone present in and we went to the reception. The reception area was really freakin hot and there was no chairs for people who weren't part of the wedding, so that was fun. There was singing and lots of speeches and all that crap. It was kinda boring, so I was glad when Crazy Friend said she had to leave early. We both escaped and that was good. I did see Diet Friend and I talked to her a little, but I felt so bad because I'm such a shitty friend. I haven't seen her since March, and I haven't even called her. It's not that I don't like her, last summer I probably considered her one of my best friends. I don't know why I'm such a crackwhore like that.. it's disturbing. So after we left, it was only 3:30 and I wasn't supposed to hang out with Dorkus Boy until later that night. I had nowhere to go until then, home was 45 minutes away, and I had no money because I was saving it for the movie. What to do in this situation? Ahhh yes, I went to Borders. I was there for 3 hours while I talked to Dorkus Boy several times on the phone, coordinating plans and such. I read almost all of this one really good book that I don't know the name of. I lurrve me some Borders.. that there is a good place to go. So then I left and met Dorkus Boy at Wendy's. I haven't seen him for a few months, so there was the dreaded "weirdo friend ackwardness" that I really hate, but deal with a lot anyway since I'm just a big antisocial freak. I watched him eat his tasty chicken sandwich and then we headed to the theater. We got there about 3 minutes before the movie started, so of course the only seats that were left was the ones in the very front. If I was by myself in this situation, I would sneak into another movie until the next showing of Austin Powers started. But no.. he didn't want to sneak into anything and he didn't want to sit in the front, so we left and went driving around. It was weird because we were about 5 minutes from BB's house. We were at the movie theater that BB and I saw Men in Black at. I don't know why he wanted to see the movie over there, because there's a big theater next to his house which is like 15 minutes from BB's area (Richardson is where Dorkus Boy lives, Plano is where BB lives, for those of you in the area), so it was just weird going to places that BB and I usually frequent. I've had "daydreams" where Dorkus Boy and I would go to that theater and see BB with some chick. I've always wanted that to happen in some weird way so I could see how I could react. Wouldn't that be fun? I think it would be fun. We had like 2 hours to kill, so we went to Main Event, another place me and BB go a lot. We played table hockey (I won! Woohoo!) Skee ball (he won), that Daytona Racing game (I won), and other such things. It was cool because BB beats me in everything we play together, and after I while I just start to think that I really suck at these things. But I am actually good at these games, thank you very much! And then there was the movie. We still had like 30 minutes to kill before the movie, and we just talked. We never run out of things to talk about. I can tell him I'm a hyper hypo and he laughs just as much as I do. It's nice to have a friend who worships Mike Myers with me. So the movie starts, and we're already giggling like crazy people in the first 5 minutes. We're such dorks, we really are, but we loved this movie. We both appreciated the genius of Mike Myers and all that surrounds him. Mini Me was so cute! And Goldmember was really kind of a stupid character, but that's okay too. I lurrved that movie. And I lurrved hanging out with Dorkus Boy. He's mah friend! So that was my night. I went back to my dorm and went to bed. It was kinda weird sleeping in today, because I'm never here during the weekend and I always have to get up early for school during the week. It was nice. So that was my Saturday. All kinds of eventful for such an antisocial person such as myself. I'm about to go to church with Crazy Friend tonight. I haven't been to church for a lonnngg long time, but I figured it was time to go back. I really want to just work out, gorge myself with food in preparation for my real hardcore diet to start tomorrow, and watch TV all night, but my social life calls, and I must answer! Muahahah! So, buh bye. What was MyMichele doing a year ago? "Tonight, I went out with a friend of mine. Dorkus Boy, if you remember from prior entries. He's the only person I know that I can talk about vibrator sensations with. (well, besides you, pervert girl.)We went to the porn store, as we usual do when we get together. I don't know how this routine got started, but it's fun to have someone go down the aisles of butt plugs and whips with. I really enjoy hanging out with him, because he knows my past and really knows me pretty well. It was awesome." (ironic, eh?) "Boyfriend and I had a pretty wacky "stop taking to each other, yell at each other, then make up" kind of day. But that's everyday, isn't it? I'm sure you aspiring psychiatrists out there can make the corrolation between why I've been with my boyfriend so long and why I was psycho boy so long and how my dad usually shows his love by not giving affection but instead just giving me money. I'm sure you could, but don't, because that would just take all the fun out of it. Two days ago, 13 people had me on their favorites list. Now, only 11. What did I do? Was I too boring? Did I *gasp* offend somebody! Good gracious, no! I think I'm going to take a nap now. Enjoy the rest of your day. Remember to do your homework in the dark and eat your cereal with a fork." 4:00 p.m. - July 28, 2002 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
