a look in the better direction

So I'm going to try and make an entry for you guys that is not about the horrible people in Chico, because I am a lucky enough person to have a couple people around who are not horrible- so I want everyone reading to be aware that even in the place I am I still find fun and beautiful people in the midst of it all.
Tuesday I went out to a formal dinner with the anime club. There were probably 20 people attending. Believe it, me at a formal- meaning I dressed up and everything. Adam of course was my date, which was really fun because as long as we've been around each other we haven't been much datelike- we went out to eat a lot, and out to movies a lot- but I only look back to a few as being date-like... like one night that we went out to dinner and I kept getting embarrassed cuz he kept looking at me, which seemed to only make him look more cuz he apparently thought my blushing was cute-
tangent I know.
But we went out to the big dinner all dressed up, had good food at Gen Kai. It ended up being one of the best anime club events for me because the people who annoy me most weren't sitting close to me :) HELPFUL!
I was pretty surprised, I expected I'd get annoyed with Dan kicking it so close to me but without his usual clan he's a much more- uh... civilized... person.
And even though I felt ridiculous being dressed up- I didn't feel as ridiculous after I saw some other girls wearing tiara's and flowers in their hair. It was like "barbie plays formal". That image alone made me laugh silently, and sort of get over the fact that I was dressed up. At least I wasn't playing "pretty princess" at the restaurant. HAHAHA. Okay- so thats a little mean on my part and I don't really intend it to be in a mean fashion. I genuinely thought of it as being funny. But maybe I'm just a horrible human being. Or maybe it's truth. Maybe it's a combination. I'll leave that to you to decide.
So dinner was alright, but not as fun as after dinner.
Then on Thursday it was Adam's birthday. As soon as his birthday hit I gave him his present- Aliens Vs. Preditor 2- a PC game he digs- and some silly 80s Jackie Chan film- however I gave that to him early cuz I'm bad at holding back as far as gifts go I want to see the person smile- even if its way early.
I bought him a Jamba Juice- I had thought about taking him out to dinner but before that came up he talked to his parents and we were to have dinner there- so that was cool. Anime club sang happy birthday to him in horribly off-key voices. The few people with any hope of harmony all tried to be the star singer and so instead made matters worse. It was hysterical. And awful. His facial expression was priceless.
Dinner with his parents- or mostly his mom was nice. His mom is cute! Very friendly and easy to talk to. It's cool cuz I seem to get along fine with all of his family. His sister seems to like me- I read- she's an English major- so that's all good stuff. His Dad is always running around, so it's hard to gage what he thinks. He also doesn't speak too terribly much but he's funny when he does- and he likes to harrass the dog. I'm genuinely surprised at how much I like thier dog- it's really well behaved though even if it does try to get in my lap all the time.
So yea- for all of you who were probably getting concerned with my streak of negativity- it's just that I need to vent about it because it disturbs me how sick people are. It's not that every aspect of my life right now is bad- it's just that I have to feel like I've said what I have to say and made peace with it before I can enjoy myself, and the things that have been happening lately have been hard to make peace with. But if you break things down to the point of when I'm only with Adam, J, or Chris or Adam's family- things are fine- in fact I don't think I've ever been seriously annoyed with any of them. If you break it down to my work environment, things are fine.
