Well this past Friday i took the chance like i said i would and asked her. i was kind of nervous but i didnt hesitate. well she replied by saying "i dont date people" . yes that's right she doesnt date people. now i took this to mean that she didnt wanna date anyone at this time but i still didnt get it. i made a joke later when my friends asked me how it went and i claimed that i'm going to make t-shirts that say 'reject me if you want...' on the front and 'but i expect a 5 paragraph essay explaining why.' on the back.
well we went to the contest today ( i mentioned it in my last post) and she texted me claiming that she just said that because she liked somebody else but didnt want to be rude to me. so just to clarify, she LIED to me in an effort to not be rude...yeah... well anyways in the spirit of friendship i told her about the joke and explained my intentions that it wasnt directed at her but was just inspired by her response. (honestly, who hasnt been rejected and didnt know why right?) well she claimed that she found it kind of mean after which i apologized. i suppose we're still friends but the rest of the night she seemed to take a picture with the guy she liked (whom she is now officially dating) or hold his hand, right as i'd look back to talk to the other people who were sitting by them almost as if she were rubbing it in my face. This could quite possibly be just my disappointment getting the better of me though so i'll leave it up to the reader to determine their own opinion. we also were the only band besides the other band from our town to not get a gold. which i found stupid. we were only 1.55 points away from a gold, which ticked me off even further. it was just a terrible last couple of days. oh and i was told that apparently the factor that keeps me from getting a girlfriend is because i'm too nice. funny. i always thought it was because i was 5'2".

Coconuts and lowered expectations
so today started out normal for a sunday. woke up about 9 (my version of sleeping in between the months of august and may) , had a few donuts (from SquareDonuts of course) and screwed around on the computer. well i had a fairly easy day at work and afterward i bought a coconut. Why buy a coconut you ask? well here's the answer: Why the F*** not? after all, coconuts rule. you put limes in them and shake them up and you can make pina coladas (one for each hand) but vague song references aside i wanted to buy a coconut because it was out of the ordinary and i wanted to try something new. i came up with the idea to buy one after joking around with a work associate about it just being a random thing to do.
Well i got it home and it was awsome. i gazed in its majesty and took a few pics for the 'ol Facebook page then i commenced cracking it open. it was apparently an EZ Crack brand coconut (they're the ones with lines on the sides to make them simple to crack open) well i tried everything. i hit it with a knife, i stabbed it with a knife, and i even tried cutting it with an electric carving knife like the type used at Thanksgiving. well eventually i just took it outside and set in in a bowl and put the bowl on my backyard picnic table. i grabbed a hammer from the shed and smashed it open. i thought, "yes! i've finally achieved my goal! the coconut is mine all mine!!!" i washed off the meat portion and cut that part open and poured the milk into a cup. i tasted the meat and it was well... ... rancid to say the least. IT WAS TERRIBLE. i figured it was just that coconut candy had a lot of other flavorings and maybe the milk would be better. well it wasnt and the taste made me want to throw up. to describe the taste (ugh its starting to come back to me even now) i may as well have drank old mop water.so it turns out i got a bad coconut. the worse part is that i wasn't even surprised given the store i got it from (the one i work at).
well kids there's a lesson from this. coconuts (much like people) seem awsome on the outside but when you take the time to crack them open you'll see that some of them are absolutely disgusting. the sad thing is that if you meet a truly bad person, you can't just swish with some Listerine to get the bad taste out of your mouth like i did with that coconut. you just have to realize that some are bad (but not all.) and just throw that particular one away. just hope for the best next time. ^_^ essentiall i'm saying that people are like coconuts.
