(to clarify, make out sess was something I observed, so don't get too excited)
OKAY I am going to admit I suck at this whole blogging thing. Originally I wanted to write a blog a day for the summer. YEA not happening but here are my highlight since the last blog.
Working out/Driving
Tuesday I drove down to the Embarcadero with my Pops and then we jogged along the piers. Well ok we jogged for iono how long then I kinda was like DANG I am out of shape and told my dad I was tired and asked if we could just briskly walk, which is what we did. But HEY a little exercise is better than none at all right? So that was fun. We walked from Pier 27 to Pier 7ish I wanna say. My dad showed me pier 7 and told me about his childhood memories of fishing all day, catching 3 fish and about anchovies. This is the kind of relationship my dad and I have. I like to say we're close but it is in a very unique way, I can't really explain it. We're not close we're I can tell him about guys and stuff like that, yea that boat has kinda sailed long ago and any mention of feelings of that sort I just feel uncomfortable and awkward discussing. BUT I guess my point is, is I really enjoy hearing him tell me about what he did when he was a kid and showing me the sights. It's our way of bonding haha.
Today at work saw two people straight out MAKING OUT in Old Navy I was like dang....no shame. One couple right in the middle of the swim wear section SMACK DAB in the middle. The girl takes off his glasses, wraps her arms around and just starts smoochin on him. I was like wow...but kept on moving because I had a lot of clothes to run back from the fitting room. Later I saw yet another couple this time two ladies, a little more discretely making out but they saw me and I saw them, we made awkward eye contact. This whole thing got me to thinking people need to find better places to make out, I mean SERIOUSLY no one wants to see that.
Books books books
So I haven't officially decided BUT I think I might be giving up on 1984. I thought it was going to be interesting but it is really hard for me to read...I've gotten to 40 something pages and it really has yet to spark MUCH interest. The concept of this futuristic world IS interesting but there doesn't seem to be a story or plotline or is REALLY slow. I don't know if it is even worth it to waste my time. So I started reading Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. I am slightly cheating. I borrowed the No Fear Shakespeare version which has both the original text and on the page next to it a translation in "normal day english" I guess you can say. I was originally going to reach the original text and then use the translation for help if needed, but after 1984 I really just wanted to read, enjoy and make progress on a book. So I've been just reading the translation. What got me to reading this play was "She's the Man" which I found out was based on Twelfth Night. Reading the play right now the story is quite a bit different, but it is essentially still the same and a lot of the character's names are still the same. I completely understand changing the story they had to modernize it. So far I'm liking it, it kind of reminds me of "A Midsummer's Night Dream", I've never read it but I've seen the play like 3 times. One person loves this person, but then that person loves someone else and basically no one loves the right or same person.
Speaking of my reading today after work waiting for the bus this black guy goes you look so angry. I look up from my book and say what? And he said you look so angry reading your book like your eye brows, demonstrating that I was furrowing them very intensely. I told him I didn't realize, but it was probably true I do tend to wrinkle a lot when I'm focusing on something. Then he asks me what I'm reading and then asks me what does shakespeare mean? And I told him he was a famous playwright. He asks me the question again and the way he was asking it was like he thought it was an adjective or something. It was weird...and I was really confused, luckily my bus came and I got on. Iono if he was genuinely just trying to strike up a conversation or hitting on me I really don't know because I am bad at picking up on social cues like that. But mm yea..ok that is it.
