My social life has suddenly taken a turn for the better!

Yesterday, some friends and I went out shopping. We bought some things for another friend’s birthday and then I got two shirts (both stripy: pictures forthcoming if I can be arsed), some blue nail polish (which is ugly as fuck, but I don’t care because smurf-coloured nails = uberly awesome), a blue alice band and a comb and hairtie thingy for doing French twists. Haven’t quite figured out what to do with the ends of my hair, though. Meh, I’ll get there.

Today, I went to my gymnastics class. It was only me and one other person from our little group going, and unfortunately it sucked. She was the best of us at gym, but then she buggered her arm and she’s only just started going again but she can’t do anything that involves putting any weight on her arm. Seems a little silly of her to go, if you ask me, but hey, it’s not my problem. Anyway, she likes to treat me as if I’m refusing to do anything. Here’s an example:

Her: What do you want to do?

Me: Hm…I dunno. What do you fancy?

Her: Oh, come on, it’s your choice.

Me: Oh, all right then. I’ll go ask Jodie [that's one of the coaches] for some help with flicks.

Her: Aw, is lickle Ferny-werny going to try some flicks?

[I go do some flicks]

Her: Aww, did you do some flicks? Well, I’m glad I’ve managed to get you to do something then! You never do anything! You just sit there at home typing away on your computer. You need me to get you to do some exercise!

Me: …

Ugh. She kept it up for the whole two hours. It’s so annoying.

And in other news, my progress on things I will do this Easter:

• I’ve read 70-odd pages of On the Road.
• Almost finished my history homework. Done my English and I’ve corrected my French script but I still need to learn it.
• I’ve tidied my room a bit.
• Made plans for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday
• Learned to French braid! I can’t tell you how ecstatic I am about that. I can’t do it very well, but hey, it’s pretty incredible progress for me.

Now I will spend the rest of my evening finishing up a bit of this history and then playing my Mexican Hat Dance. Oh, and I suppose I should really play my wooden treble recorder too. I haven’t played it in far too long and I don’t want to have to play it back in…
