I wore two different earrings today at work. And no one told me.

This one girl in the bakery even said I like your earrings.

I don’t know if she was kidding or not now.

But I felt very lied to when I realized it. And its not like anyone lied to me. They just didn’t see them.

But it was really embarrassing.

You know that line in Juno? When she says something like “I’ve never realized how much I like being home unless I’ve been somewhere really different for awhile”?

I really like being home too. I like going out too, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes a night watching movies and hanging out with my parents is really what I need. And I really get that line.

We sat around the TV, and watched movies we’ve seen at least five times, but laughed at the funny parts anyway. My mom made macaroni and cheese and mini hot dogs for dinner.

Later I was reading in my room. My dad came in and asked why I didn’t have my bedside lamp on instead of my ceiling light. It doesn’t work, I told him. It was unplugged, cause really, what is the point of leaving something plugged in if you’re not using it, ya know? But he plugged it back in, and pretended he got electricuted and screamed. I did too. Even though I was totally expecting him to do that. It turns out the bulb was just dead. We replaced it with one of those fancy energy efficient ones. He took the old one out and put it above his head and said “Look, Jess! Bright idea!?!?!”

I laughed hysterically. It wasn’t really that funny. But if he hadn’t done that, I honestly think I would be disappointed.

I woke up today, and my room was really dark. It was raining out, not nice, refreshing rain. Just dark, boring rain. The kind that makes you not want to go to school. But I came to school anyway. Just because I have nothing else to do at home. Besides homework, and I’d rather be at school anyway.

So I came to school, and now I am sitting in a lounge waiting for my next class. The lounge has glass windows and it overlooks the Raritan River. I always try to get a spot nearest the windows so when I get angry with my homework or I’m bored, I just look out at the river. It’s not pretty or anything. It’s just calming.

I was eating my lunch before and I looked out the window, and it seemed like a thousand white birds came out of nowhere. Against the grey rain, they looked nice. They were probably smelly, mean seagles from the Jersey Shore, but it didn’t matter. They made me smile, and it made me coming to school not as bad. A lot of them are in the river now. Splashing around and flying against the water.

I wish I could splash around and fly against the water. But I have to go to school.

I found Anjee on tumblr today. I thought it would be a lot more difficult than it was. All I did was type in her name and she came up. It was funny.

I can’t be whiney, Anjee said. So I won’t.

 I just ate pumpkin pie. It was the Entenmann’s kind. The box broke though, and it seriously had a hole right in the middle. That’s because at Shoprite they don’t have efficient baggers :)

I’m chilly right now. I have my perfect longsleeved shirt that is always pefect no matter what weather it is outside shirt on, too. Now I have Kyle’s marching band sweatshirt on. It’s warm. I don’t think he is ever going to get it back.

I can see why Anjee got addicted to this. It is rather fun.
