Well, I've got time alone again. It seems that I have different tastes as far as movies go, or music, or books, or girls or anything else. The last two nights everyone has watched a movie and both were not to my liking. Every time I hear everyone laugh at some funny part in the movie, it confirms the fact that it's not that I have different tastes, but since 10 people like a movie and I don't, must mean that my taste in movies sucks. No worries though. I'm not bitter. I've already had a good time tonight and am content.

After a rainy, not-interesting football game which I listened to over the radio instead of going to the wet stadium (even though I was offered a free ticket to the game). Everyone got together and we went out to eat. We got sat in the corner of the mexican restaurant On the Border and were the only ones in the secluded smoking section of the restaurant. It proved to be a good location, since our loud laughter and obnoxious conversation would have substantially lowered other table's tips to their waiters. Heedless of interested or annoyed looks, conversation was not lacking.

Inside jokes were recited again and again, and imitations of different people in the group were given. This was to everyone's amusement including the one being made fun of. Drinks were brought, and drinks were refilled. After refilling my cup three times, the server put a pitcher of water by me which I used to refill my cup three more times. This of course could not have been accomplished except for the fact that my cup was full of ice. From a serious lack of money, I had tortilla chips/salsa and water, and the waitress gave me a free brownie with ice cream due to the fact that she either felt sorry for me, or had fallen in love with me. Something tells me the former is true.

Until I'm 21 and can talk with friends over a pint, I'll have to drink water instead. Although we had consumed no alcohol, we acted as if we had had too much to drink. I don't remember what else we talked about, but when I got up from the table, I was left with a full stomach and my heart was near overflowing. I felt the world was opening up before me, with nothing but brilliant prospects. I still don't have money and am a little behind in school, but tomorrow is a different day, and I am expectantly awaiting it's arrival.
