10/22/18

   Uh, I didn't update for the last three days... oops. My bad! I had lots of stuff going on. Yesterday, 10/21/18, was really damn fun. I hung out with my good friend, Emelly, and played LOTS of Minecraft with her on our community world for us and our online friends.

   You see, Emelly is Mexican and I'm black, so our family's customs and traditions are a LOT different. Yesterday was the first day I've ever eaten dinner with her family. Emelly's mother doesn't speak English, and I only know English, so there's a HUGE language barrier and almost no way I can communicate with her. That makes things quite difficult. I want to get to know her family, I really do. But the fact that we can't talk face to face and back and forth makes this whole situation a lot more awkward.

   Anyways, back to the dinner part of this story. In the background was a lot of Spanish, a language I am not familiar with and do not know, as I have stated previously. When sitting at their dinner table, I was probably noticeably tense and I was sweating a shit ton. I could feel sweat dripping down my neck because of how god damn nervous I was. We ate Thai food that her family cooked, and It was delicious. When we were done with the dinner I didn't know how to say thank you in any way. So I just... left. I rinsed off my dish and kind of just dipped to my friend's room. I told her how I felt and she told me that she noticed my nervousness. She later told her mom for me that I said the food was amazing and thank you. I really appreciate her for that. Gotta love friends!

   About 30 minutes later we biked to Dunkin Donuts, Emelly's phone falling out of her pocket in the process, and us biking back to find the phone lying in the freezing cold grass. We picked it up, glad that it wasn't finessed, and made our way back to Dunkin Donuts. Once we were at the counter I was really fucking nervous because I had NO idea how to use Apple Pay and my phone was at 2%. I embarrassed myself by trying to scan it on the barcode scanner and not at the Apple Pay designated spot. The cashier fucking roasted me. In the end, we got our food, and most importantly, I learned how to use Apple Pay.

   After eating our Dunkin and biking back to her house, we warmed ourselves up in a blanket and watched Marvel movies. Emelly is making me watch all of them with her. I really have no objections since I'm looking to get into some more fandoms, so I appreciate it. Plus, it's fun to do stuff with her. I was pretty sad when I got picked up and had to go. My day of fun was over. Back to a boring room with no wifi and no cable. Sigh. Home shit home.

Actual 10/22/18

   Right now I'm in my English class. Having finished everything, I'm just updating my Wattpad, something I can't do at home because I have no wifi. Today has been hectic to say the least. I left having missed a whole period and a half of my schedule. Unexcused. It's whatever though, like, what are they gonna do, tell my mom? Pffft. She already knows she's the cause of me being late. Asshole. Anyways... I'm home now. I just enjoyed a nice, juicy McDonalds quarter pounder that I found in the fridge that SUPRISINGLY has food.
