indirect blogs are even better than indirect bulletins, sara! the thing is that i would much rather be emotionally unavailable or have some "baggage" than be completely heartless. being a compassionate person will get me somewhere in life, while in the long run you will become miserable because you have closed your heart to anything good that comes along.
also, keep on trying to impress manny. it's cute.


tonight was very, very interesting. i had a ghostly experience and it was very thrilling.
jax, amber & i were driving around in fullerton. as we pass the high school, amber started to tell us how it was haunted. immediately we felt a chill and this really eerie feeling settled over the car. amber jokingly says, "wanna park and go in?" i am stoked. ghosts? hell yeah. so i convince her to do it (though jax was really the one who needed the convincing, she was practically having a panic attack in the backseat). we park across the street from the campus side entrance. we are next to a row of streetlights, all lit up except for one. as we step out of the car, the unlit streetlight suddenly becomes illuminated. it is a totally different color than the rest. i try to write it off as a coincidence.
we walk through the gate to the school and the door to the auditorium is wide open. i peek inside to search for a janitor and see no sign of one. no big deal, he could have just been in the back or something. we continue to explore the campus. as we are heading over to the auto shop garage, we hear a loud roaring noise. we look around to see a monster truck accelerating toward us. i book it. i seriously don't think i have ever run so fast in my life. jax and amber follow behind me, and as soon as we turn the corner, the roaring stops. we look back to where we were and the truck is gone.
the thing is, there was no where for it to go. if it had continued to move forward, it would have hit a wall. to the left, it would have gone into the pool. and to the right, it would have followed us. it did not have time to back up and take off before we looked again. we also would have heard it if that had happened. it was just gone.
we run to the car, thoroughly freaked out. the light that turned on when we got there flickers out as we shut the doors and speed away.
