Hello! Something good happened to me!
Rick sort of kind of talked to me. I was going to get my clarinet in the band
room and Rick was standing in front of the instrument room. I went in got my
instrument then heard a BAM! Rick asked someone to throw some keys to him and
he missed and they went into the room. If the person who threw them was a bit
farther to the left, they might have hit me, but I doubt it. Anyway, I headed
for the door. Rick picked up the keys and looked at me saying “Oooh, close” (or
something like that). He was smiling at me, too. How wonderful! Don’t you think
so? I certainly do. I wonder what would have happened if they (the keys) hit
me? I guess I’ll just never know (at least for today)
Tonight I saw “Play it Again Sam” on
Channel 100. It was good.
Carol has always been calling me
something. Either Thurbey or Teenie Weenie Thurbini. So I thought of a name for
her (McIntosh is her last name). It’s McIntoshwishywashy. I hope I can get her
embarrassed with it.
Tomorrow I’ll finally transfer out of
non verbal communication. Yippee!
I’ll write tomorrow! Bye
Notes about the above:
1) I was 16 when I wrote that (a junior in high school).
2) Channel 100 was the precursor to HBO.
3) My maiden name is Thurber. For some reason people liked
to play around with it.
4) I was far from being Teenie Weenie!
5) Non verbal communication was an English class I was
taking where you weren’t allowed to talk. Honest! You’d think that would have
been the perfect class for me, wouldn’t you?
6) This encounter with Rick happened after I had asked him
to the Sadie Hawkins dance (it had only taken me about two hours to make that
phone call!). Unfortunately, someone beat me to it, so he had to decline.
7) I WANTED those keys to hit me.

Tomorrow I’ll be attending my book club meeting. Yeah, I
belong to a book club. No, we don’t assign books to read. We just like to talk
about books (and other things). Normally, about 5 of us show up and we meet in
Barnes & Noble or the Panera Bread across the street. But tomorrow we’re
having a guest author visiting: Kallypso Masters. I’m not familiar with her
work, but she apparently has lots of fans in the area. We had to move our
meeting to the Dingle House Pub and Grub. They apparently have a meeting room,
or a large enough area for us to meet. Now, the Facebook event says 39 are
going. I highly doubt they all show up (heck, on those meetings where 5 of us
show, it always says around 20 will). Anyway, it should be an interesting
event, but I’m guessing it won’t be the fun chat fest it usually is.
So… Got big plans this weekend? Or do you plan to just sit
back and nap?
Whatever, have a great one!

Sounds like great fun at the book club. And my gosh, your journal entries make good reading.
Yes, bought our tickets for Avengers early Saturday morning at the Movie House for a fiver each.
No Friday night movie for us, noppers, we're going to the 10AM showing.
Ivy - I want to see Avengers this weekend, too. I'm hoping Sunday. My daughter already saw it (she's in London on vacation) and loved it! I don't usually go at night to the theatre, either (unless it's $5.50 Tuesdays or I'm crazy and do a sneak peek with my daughter). Cheaper to go to the matinee.
We don't do late movies either. But when I found out at that Saturday morning was only five bucks, I was thrilled.
Not so thrilled with the rash, after, but all in all, a great day.
Ivy - I wish our movie was only five bucks. I may wait for $5.50 Tuesdays from now on. Matinee was $7.90. In a theatre being remodeled, too. But I enjoyed the flick, so it wasn't all bad.
