But, Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I can start anew.
It is 7:00 am on a Monday. I am sitting awake at my computer waiting for the shower to be free.
On most Mondays I would be deep into sleep for another good three hours, but last night at around 8:30pm my dear dear Cam friend texted me and asked if I could sub for him today.
There is so much that has happened in the last little while I just can't seem to find the time to write about it, what with school the film shooting and trying to catch up on sleep I hardly have time for anything (as is evident by the pile of clothes in my hamper and the struggle each morning to find something to wear)
I don't want to start into anything too important because I will only have to leave in a moment (I hope, because otherwise there will be no hot water.)
I have once again decided that boys are dumb. It seems that I decide this quite often, but maybe I should qualify that statement. The great majority of straight guys in which I come into contact with under the age of 27 are shallow, immature, incomprehensibly unobservant and a complete waste of my time.
Example 1: The most recent testament to this statement I met on the film set I've been working on. I did the hair and make-up and he worked on the lights. He was one of those guys who is pro at flirting. I found him on facebook (along with a few others I met on set) and saw some things that made me happy, and some that didn't so much. This boy, who will remain nameless because this is a public blog, has mostly girl friends on facebook. In his "Interests" section he mentioned film, theatre, movies, and going on dates. In his "About Me" section he explained the origins of his less than normal name and said he loved taking girls out for a great time. This part made me smile because I haven't been on a date in a while (no wonder with the amount of straight guys I know, lqtm) The part that made me hesitant was his age, he had recently turned 19 in November... This meant one of two things, neither of which would lead to anything good in my case. Either he was not planning going on a mission, or he was... a preemie :(
Long story short (because the shower is free) I decided to ask him to a movie regardless because fact is fact nothing would come of anything considering I would be moving in 6 weeks. I asked him via text during the week (the shoots are on weekends) and he said he was busy, which was a viable excuse because it is film making season at BYU. But when the weekend came and we were both on set, things were different. He didn't go out of his way to smile at me as he had before. When there was anyone else to talk to, he didn't seek out my conversation. He stopped flirting entirely.
The great majority of straight guys in which I come into contact with under the age of 27 are shallow, immature, incomprehensibly unobservant and a complete waste of my time: This boy fit all parts, including being a complete waste of my time. I didn't dwell on him longer than needed and instead busied myself with conversation w/ the actors and learning the card game the movie is about.
Serves me right for going for a preemie, there is generally a great reduction in my statements truth after a mission is served...
and now, for a shower and an extra day of school. (seven hours closer to graduation!)
