Woah, it’s so weird with Justin not on AIM. He’s home right now, which is why, but I’m just not used to it ’cause at school he’s online 24/7 … especially at night, too. And then me coming home some random night & him not even signed on is something I gotta get used to I guess. Hehe.

But anyway … today was interesting. Up until about 4:30 pm I did nothing except go online … and eat … and go online again. LOL. But then around 4:30, Shaune comes to pick me up so we can go to Tysons. We get there fine, shop a little in the usual stores we check out (Delia’s, Wet Seal, FYE, etc.) … and when we get to Claire’s, I get this craving to buy rings. I dunno why, but I do! So I’m checking out all the rings for like 100000 hours (and I’m sure Shaune must’ve gotten kinda annoyed with me taking so long, but oh well, hehe) … and guess what I find first? A fire ring! So that’s automatically a must-get. Next I find this cool silver ring that’s shaped like a lightning bolt. But then I randomly find this ring that says “Justin” on it. At first I’m like, wtf is a random Justin ring doing in here, but then I realize it’s for *NSYNC. I’m not sure if I should get it yet ’cause Justin & I haven’t been together that long, but Shaune thinks I should, and I figure, what the hell, it’d be funny if nothing else So yeah, I decide to get the fire and Justin rings, and head to the cash register. But then the lady tells me that I can buy 2 rings and get the 3rd free. Score! Now I can get the lightning bolt ring too! Thing is, I forgot where I put it on the rack, so I spend another, like, hour searching the rack for it. I finally find it (after almost giving up), and then go back to the checkout to buy it all. So yeah, that’s the first interesting part about tonight. Onto the next!

On the way to Tysons, Shaune’s friend Ariel (older brother of her ex) calls. Twice. I answer ’cause Shaune’s driving and can’t talk, but once we get to Tysons, she calls him back, and after three “call-backs,” she ends up telling me that we’re meeting them (Ariel and his brothers Walter and Jose) by Sbarro in 20 minutes. LOL. So yeah. We do more random shopping ’til then, then meet them. And damn, they’re tall! Like, more than 6 feet … except Walter, he’s like, my height, lol. The whole time before Shaune kept saying that she did not like Ariel as a boyfriend and that there was no chance of them going out … but then how come whenever he did something like put his hands on her shoulders or nonchalantly hugged her (and everything else flirty), she didn’t do anything to push him away or let him know that she didn’t like him like that? *sigh* It’s just weird … I mean, come on, she went out with his little brother! Even though she claims to have told him that she doesn’t like him like that, then wtf was up with her letting him put his arm around her and holding his hand while watching Boys and Girls at her house later? Huh? What was that? Unless I’m totally blowing things out of proportion and overreacting (again), am I right that the whole arm-around-the-shoulder, holding-hand thing is something that couples do? Not friends? Grr …

And then Jose was being all weird with me. Like at one point (actually, it was more than one point over the course of the night) he put his hand on my shoulder. Nothing big, but it was weird ’cause I’d just met him a few hours before. But oh well. He also kept asking/saying stuff to me, and half the time I’d just smile and nod ’cause I either didn’t hear him, didn’t know what to say, or plain didn’t wanna say anything, lol. I hope he doesn’t like me. Man, sound familiar? That would suck. I don’t need that again. He also kinda reminds me of Sunny. He’s Pakistani, has the gross curly hair, and the same smile *shudders* That’s another thing I don’t need.

The whole time while we were watching Boys and Girls, I kept wishing that Justin was there. Even though I just saw him last night, I miss him! I wanted someone to hug during the typical cute teen movie, hehe. But yeah … *sigh* I’ve typed a lot. Dad’s making me go to bed soon, too. Even though we’re not leaving for NY ’til noon. Oh well. Grr, and I wanna talk to Justin before I leave! Man, it’s crazy how much I miss him … I dunno why, I just do. And I also wanna know what he thinks about the ring … ’cause I know wearing something like that that relates to “us” will keep reminding me how much he likes me, hehe, which is basically what gets me through each day *sigh* Aww. He’s so cute. Well, g2g now, but I’ll keep you guys updated. TTYL!
