Blazers

Today, I went to Target again. I did not see anyone familiar this time. However, I did purchase a blue pinstriped blazer. I am very pleased with this purchase. I don't know, I seem to be more aware lately of how I dress. And you know, I usually don't like wearing what the cliche "style" or "fashion" is. I like to wear what I think looks good. I guess those two ideals, what I think looks cool and what society deems cool are intersecting this summer. It's a nice coat, because it's the kind you can wear with t-shirts, polo shirts, whatever, and look cool. I've always liked wearing coats. Which is strange, because I hate long sleeves usually. I guess coats are different. I've been trying to heed the advice of my friends, and just be friends with girls I find attractive. And you know, it's been going well. I feel very secure with myself right now, in terms of women and relationships. Meaning, I think I'm headed in the right directions with the female friends I have, and am patient to see what college will offer. I spent part of last night at my friend Scott's. It was not successful. All people were doing was drinking beer for the sole purpose of becoming intoxicated, and I was not impressed at all. So, I left at 1:30 in the morning. I encountered a girl there that I guess you could consider a friend of mine in high school. Or not, I don't know. Define friend. Anyways, for some reason, this girl just hates me, and I have no idea why. She just makes fun of me for any number of reasons, the fact I go swing dancing, the fact I like Star Wars, the fact I have had a history of doing extreme things for Star Wars or other things I enjoy, etc, etc, etc. And she is just not nice to me at all. I wish I could understand this, because I would like to have normal relations with her. I don't know, she must have a lot of hurt or misunderstanding going on inside to be so mean to me. Whatever. I bought a movie called "Sideways" the other day, and have been watching it. I really like it. It reminds me of "Lost in Translation." If you've seen that and enjoyed it, you'll like Sideways. Basically, it has inspired me to become a wine connossieur. When I turn 21, instead of buying a case of Bud Light or whatever, I'm going to buy wine. But yeah, the movie is really good. It's got that weird dry humor and sincerity that I value so much. And it has very realistic characters. If you can handle swearing and some sexuality, I highly recommend it. So, I gave Axis and Allies another try today. It was more fun being an Ally, and having other allies to plan with. But still, it took a very long time, and I am not a fan of that. But, I guess I could play it again, as long as I'm not Japan or Germany. Well, I think I'm going to go outside, light some tiki torches, drink some Coke, eat ice cream, and watch Sideways on my computer. On a side note, I called a girl tonight that I am somewhat interested in. Or at least, interested in strengthening my friendship with. It went well. Well, I'm off to relax. Have a good night everyone.
