a time that saves daylight
2000-10-28 @ 11:28 p.m.
I better reflect on my day before it ends up being tomorrow and that would mean that I forgot to write about today. I am so excited that it is Daylight Savings Time tomorrow. The whole idea of gaining an extra hour is just very pleasing to me. Today was really fun, and I had a pretty good time at homecoming. I got there early to help out with the decorations, the float, and just general stuff that needed to be done before the game. It was really cool to have the band there, along with the color guard and the cheerleaders as well. I think we all put on a nice show. I was very surprised that we won the game, because our team has lost every single game except for one this year. But I guess that today must have been lucky. I guess it was all the decorations. It was freezing today, and I had on a turtleneck sweater, a heavy coat, and mittens. I was still freezing. Hai got a blanket out of the Student Council president's car, and we laid it down on the bench and all sat under it so we wouldn't be cold. I was still freezing though. Colleen painted some stuff in red and blue on my cheeks for school spirt, and Jackie gave me one of her pom-poms. Kristen's mother took a picture of us, and I hope it came out well. I just felt so connected today to everyone. It was just really fun. Even though I got sunburnt on my cheeks! It is a little red and hurting. I think it was from the wind and sun all combined. I took care of it though, and hopefully it will be better tomorrow when I wake up.
I felt very pretty today, and that made me happy as well. I didn't have to worry about looking bad or anything, because I just looked good today. I usually look okay, but today I just felt really nice about the way I looked for once. I guess that is a really good thing. When I was brushing my teeth, I came to a conclusion. From being born to age eleven, I was very pretty. There was nothing that I had to worry about at all, and I could look very nice without trying. That is true of most children. Ages twelve through fifteen was my awfully disgusting and ugly time. When I look back at pictures from that time, I am just like, "Ugh. What the hell is going on?" I mean, those were some bad times. Now, things are just getting much better. Every day I feel a little bit better about myself, and I just feel that I am reaching my goal of where I want to be, mind wise as well as looks wise. I spend a lot of time thinking about how I come across to people, on the outside and more importantly on the inside. Yes, somewhat stupid, I know, but it is important to me. I think I have noticed a general upswing in my mood about myself. It is just a good thing, I tell you. But enough of this shallow talk. Yes, enough of it.
Ciao.
