I've been mocked all day. Bumping into couples all day. The cherries I'm eating right now are mocking me. Every other one I eat is heart-shaped. I'm serious. It's like an all out attack from Aphrodite.

I saw Shrek again last night with Mark and his girlfriend. I found out what her name is without having to admit defeat and asking. She was on her cell phone on our way to the theater. Gyselle. I'm not sure about the spelling. When she said it into the phone ... I wanted to yell, "Ha! I win! Yeah baby!" and do a little dance. For a while now she's been an unwilling player in the name game and I won. I didn't have to ask Mark or even her. *laughs* ... I know .. it's extremely silly.

They both loved the movie. I'm sorta shocked I saw it again. I never to see a movie more than once. I love Shrek though. The weird thing is ... when I saw the posters for it way before it came out ... I didn't really wanna see it. Even the trailers on tv. Mark said he didn't expect it to be that good. We came home and Mark played guitar for a while. I still can't get over how cool it is to have a roommate who's a musician. He strummed ... 'Wild Horses' by the Rolling Stones and I sorta stood in the door way and hummed it. A part of me wanted to start singing it but I didn't.

I'm not a bad singer. At all. But because my voice is pretty high ... I'm always embarrassed to sing in front of certain people. So far .. Mark's in that category.

I saw Evolution today. It's not like an oscar winner but it was funny. I liked it. And you gotta love a movie with Sean William Scott in it. I think that's his name. The guy who played Stiffler in American Pie. I'm also a David Ducovany and Orlando Jones fan. I used to love Orlando when he was on Mad TV. And I love the new 7UP commercials with him. That reminds me ... I wanna get a Make 7 Up Your's tee.

Mark and Gyselle were around for a lot of the morning. I went over to PathMark to get a few things and soon after I came back they were gone. I worked on this report I have to format properly. I felt a little blah ... so I wen't for a walk. That's when the war started. Not only did it seem that there were only couples walking on the boulevard ... but I was walking into them. Actual contact. I was a huge clumsy dweeb today.

As I walked pass the playground and my eyes actually met with this guy who was sitting on a bench. He looked at me and sorta smiled. He was around my age ... hispanic and cute. "Blah", I thought and just continued walking. Walking and bumping into more couples.

I walked down the stairs to Port Imperial. Looking down and actually seeing heart-shaped petals from tree blossoms. Aaaarrghh! More couples on the dock. I had my sketch pad but didn't feel like drawing. I sorta just played around with sketches I had done before. Just sharpening the lines and just adding more detail and stuff. I walked over to the benches on the far end. I played with a goose feather and looked over at the city happen. I wasn't sad or anything ... just pensive I guess.

Things were fine until this annoying couple came over. A young couple. Probably around my age. Giggling and being totally annoying. I wanted to gag or snap my head around and yell, "Could you knock it off! Geez!."

I sat there on a rock for a while. Running my fingers over the feather I had found. Watching the water and the city. Thinking how cool it is that I live in Jersey now. Cool because I have my own place. Thoughts just flowing .... flowing ... and then ... giggle ... The couple again. I wanted to stay longer but they were starting to actually make me upset. It's bitter ... I know.
