Cooties!

We had swing dance lessons last night and I was once again painfully reminded of my serious aversion to physical contact with boys. I got so nervous about doing something wrong that I completely messed up and therefore did many things wrong. I know what I’m doing. It’s a really easy move. I just FREAK OUT!
The boy-girl ratio was disadvantageous for girls and I of course looked like I didn’t want to dance with anyone. The junior high pick a partner idea was awesome. I danced with the instructor first. Didn’t do too badly. Danced with someone whose name I don’t remember. Result awkward. Danced with a girl being the lead. Did very well. Danced with Trevor, who said “you can get closer you know.” Freaked.out. Did terribly. -.-

I should start where I left off last time, huh? Wednesday night started out with us going to the thrift store and trying on random stuff then buying some VHS tapes again. We then went to Chik-Fil-A where it turned out Trevor and Jake had a $5 bill between the two of them. We’d spent five to ten minutes deciding what we’re going to do so as Trevor was asking the poor employee what they can buy two of for five dollars, I gave her my card and told them to get whatever they want. I didn’t want to stand in line and I felt serious sympathy for the girl. After food, we eventually (no one wants to make a decision) decided that we’d go over and watch a movie. So we watched Aladdin. The best part was the argument about whether a tiger or monkey makes a better pet. Clearly a monkey since tigers will bite your head off. Disregard the Christian the lion story. He was only tame because of the Britishness and the bellbottoms of his owners. Clearly. During the “A Whole New World” scene, Trevor said “that carpet must have a really high coefficient of friction for them to be able to stay on it.” Epic. Like everything up to that point was totally believable.

Yesterday at around 3pm, the power went out. Seth (the co-op down the hall) came in and said that there was a fire in a substation and the people downstairs were freaking out (since we are the safety people). We waited around for ten minutes then decided to go home. Turns out power came back on at 3.30. Oh, well. I liked the break. Then came swing dancing followed by napping for me and Zombieland for the roomies.

My mentor is teleworking today so I’ve had a lot of time with very little to do for the last two days. Friday is apparently “duck out very early” day for the safety office because I’m the last person here after 3.30. I’m pretty sure Kat and I have been the only ones in here since 2. I ran out of ways to distract myself hours ago.
Today, roomies are going to  go to Washington, DC for the weekend while I will stay home and enjoy solitude for awhile and maybe bribe Trevor and Jake into letting me go to their house and entertain myself so I can enjoy the presence of people who are not girls. Not that I dislike girls, I just spend most of my time around boys.
