Something fairly unexpected and funny happened to me earlier. I decided to walk over to the arcade that's a couple of blocks from my house in order to use their coin machines to get quarters, so I could wash my clothes. It would've probably ended up being an hour long trip, both ways.

So, I was walking down the street when somebody behind me starts honking obscenely. Now, I'm fairly used to this because I seem to get honked at and whistled at a lot while I'm walking down busy streets. No, that isn't supposed to sound as ego inflated as it came out…. Anyway, I usually wear headphones and listen to my cd player because of this. It either drowns out whatever they're saying/doing, or they assume I can't hear them and leave me alone.

However, this person was incredibly persistent. They drove up to the side of the road and parked. I got my keys in my hand, because, unfortunately, this wasn't a unique situation and I've had to arm myself before. But as they jumped out of their car and grabbed me in a bizarre hug, I realized this wasn't your ordinary psycho.

It turns out she was one of my best friends from high school, though what she happened to be doing in metairie today, I've got no clue of. But she forced me into her car, drove me to and from the arcade, and even bought me a late lunch. It was really sweet and out of the blue, but it made my day much nicer.

Also, the weather today is gorgeous. Slightly overcast, but enough of the sky shows. I can't see the bright glare of the sun at all today, yet it's still so beautiful. And the weather is cool, unlike how it's been the past several days. I'm loving it utterly. Especially since I felt really melancholy earlier.

Jackie has left until the thirtith. For a little bit over a week, I have the apartment totally to myself. My sister, who had been spending the night, left a few hours ago. I have nobody here except for the cat, who's busy trying to brutally maul the carpet in the living room.

I felt incredibly lonely, actually. Usually, having nobody in the house aside from myself would make me extremely happy. But right now, when Jackie and I haven't really been seperated much for close to six months, and even with the problems I've had with her lately, I really miss her.

But I feel a lot better than I did earlier. Today's actually ended up being a wonderful day.
