pleasant day

juldeaWell, aside from all of the worries about Pixel, I have had a fairly pleasant day.
I woke up at 9:30 (well, the alarm went off then - I got out of bed closer to 10) and took Pixel to the vet at 10:30. I left there around 11 and went to the mall, where I shopped around for a pair of new work pants (meaning khaki shorts or capris) and found a really great pair of capris at Penney's for $16. Hooray for sales! I will put up pictures soon, because I have the urge to use a certain cliche while doing so.
I left there around 1, came home, and did my daily web browse. Then I took an hour-long nap before going into work at 4 (in my new pants!). Worked until 8, changed clothes, and went out to dinner with Tim Russin. I now have FINALLY been to Jana's, meaning I have been to every Thai restaurant in Norman. Jana's, Pad Thai, Thai Kum Koon, Thai Raja. If there's another that I'm missing, let me know...! Jana's was very interesting because my glass noodle pad Thai had Italian vegetables in it like zucchini. But it was good. Tim turned out to be a spicy-food eater on the order of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tinder. I would like to see them battle it out.
Tim dropped me off at the movie theater where I met the other Tim, Bahman, and April for a 10:10 showing of the new Adam Sandler movie Anger Management. We got into the theater a few minutes late (-I- was on time, they were all late, but I waited outside for them) and I feel like there was something important at the beginning of the movie that I missed. Parts of the ending didn't really make sense, but not in a totally nonsensical way but in a way that indicated they SHOULD make sense if I had seen the first 5 minutes. But anyway... it was an Adam Sandler movie. If it hadn't have been for the fact that I went to see it with a group of people, I think it wouldn't have been worth the $6. $2, perhaps. There were some jokes that made me laugh out loud and there were some jokes that made me cringe and put my face in my hands. And there was great play between Boston and New York, especially when it comes to baseball (go Sox)!
During the movie I found another reason why I could not date Tim - he is a movie talker. He was SO LOUD. It wasn't a running monologue or anything, but he really got into the movie and it was like some form of Turret's! And then he would turn to comment to me and he wouldn't whisper. *smack forehead* I kept shushing him, but he was super hyper for some reason. Perhaps he had a good nice delivering (he came straight from work), I don't know. Silly boy.
After the movie Tim went home to sleep while Bahman, April, and I went to IHOP. I had already had dinner, but I hadn't had dessert, so I had a big hot fudge strawberry sundae. MMMMMMMM. It was decadent.
April, however, got to be too much. She is the kind of person that tries to dominate a conversation by telling the same 5 stories over and over... or if she gets on a topic, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get her off of it. We were watching prom kids come into IHOP and she retold the story of how she had not been to either of her proms but had acquired a prom wine glass from her art teacher. Bahman and I listened politely and then steered the conversation away, but the next time April opened her mouth it was about how her art teacher favored her over everyone else, blah blah blah... It's hard to be polite and not tell her to STFU sometimes. I know I am not the only one because Tim feels the same way too. And in a big group, if we're all being loud and having fun, if she opens her mouth to talk everyone gets quiet and uneasy, shifting around, and generally gives her a "that's nice" after she's done and keeps talking to each other. I wish there were some way to clue her in that her social skills need some work... perhaps we just have to all stop being nice to her?? I don't know. :P
Anyway, now I'm home and Matrix is on my lap. I am giving her a lot of attention. She has been home alone ALL day, and she certainly seems lonely. I bet Pixel is lonely too, and scared. And I don't get to visit her until Monday. :(
By the way... I almost feel like Tim was testing me to see if I would hang out with the others without him. When I called him earlier today, I asked if he was going to the movie and he said he didn't think so. That didn't faze me (because I really like Bahman and some of the others that I thought would show up) and I indicated that I was still going... and then he showed up at the movie anyway. Then, after the movie when Bahman suggested IHOP, I said I was good for doing anything; then Tim announced he was going to go home to go to bed, and looked at me as if to see if I would change my mind. But of course not. I really like these people, I just happened to meet them through him.
Time to wrap this up, although I might post pictures before bed. I don't know if my camera has charged batteries or not.
