Took a math test today, then prepared for the bed picnic. I wasn't sure if I would follow through with it since it's something new to me. In the end, preparations were underway and the "grounds" were set up and the guests arrived.

I had trouble getting into it, so I cheated and had a couple shots to sort of sense the things they might say. And we spoke of many things like books and philosophy and love; conversation really bounced around with these guys. Maybe someday it will come more naturally, second nature. Good practice, though.

I'll throw on a few pictures and put the rest on Facebook-

I think I need real friends to do this with; friends with eyes. I'm not sure if their eyes are creepier as black holes or as realistic eyes. At the least they could have those shiny button eyes...

Then I went to Eatzi's with my parents before seeing Jonathan's play, The Umbrella Play by P Seth Bauer. It was a very good play about human relationships and how rain can bring people closer and loosen the walls we all have around us. I'm thinking of getting a copy, but I heard a lot of the magic in the play was director/actor character decision, so I guess once it's over it's lost except in memory.

I'm not sure how I feel about actors. I used to not trust them as much because I wasn't sure if they were being honest with who they are toward me. I suppose I still don't trust them to some degree, but I think I respect them more than I used to. They are sort of like little romanticists, always trading faces. I wonder if it's to find the face they really like and then they will be that character the rest of their lives. I really get wrapped up in plays; maybe I just like living vicariously through the actors.
After the show I did the awkward brief conversations I have with people I used to know in high school. Kayla and I had one of those extremely long hugs from back in those days; like five to ten minute hugs. Apparently we started swaying to the leaving music which must have looked pretty funny. She said she got a new phone but thinks she added my number, and that we and maybe Jonathan should have another summer get together like we did last summer. It really made my night.
