Friday should be cause for rejoice. Yet, these past two Fridays, I have not gotten that “it’s Friday” feeling. It’s not too hard to figure out why, in retrospect. Last week, Thursday was a half day and I went out to lunch. This week, I have had Honor Band yesterday and Honor Band tomorrow and the day after. Thus, I did not get that proper Friday tingle.

However, understanding the problem doesn’t make me feel any better. I need that Friday feeling to break the monotony of the week, just as I need holidays to break the monotony of the year. Geeze, what would the human race do without holidays? We’d be so bored. One Friday, I remember, I just could not stop smiling because I felt so good that it was Friday. It’s disappointing to be deprived of that.

Exacerbating this is the fact that I’m on instant messenger to chat, but no one is online. (Except for the Daryl, thank goodness for him, otherwise I’d be 100% insane.) It makes me feel as if I’m the only loser not having fun right now.

I tried… I really did. Got home, played piano. Just couldn’t get into it. Couldn’t feel anything. So, I tried playing the organ. The added foot action didn’t tickle my fancy either. Already read my usual online comics and blogs. Nothing exciting there. I don’t feel like playing pool either.

My cousins were over, but they were both sick, which didn’t make for exciting enough an evening. Played chess on a whim. Meh. We did play poker, but for no money. I don’t know; I just wasn’t feeling it as great that night. It was still kind of fun. I got screwed in the end… my A-K lost to 5-7 off-suit. I mean, it was good, but it lacked the oomph of other nights. I guess I attribute it to their diseased states.

…

I apologize, folks. You probably don’t really need to hear this. But that’s the State of Shawn right now — bored on a Friday night.

Luckily, there is a remedy. I just need to hang out with someone tomorrow, after honor band. But I fear no one will want to, or they’ll be busy. In that case, I shall just have to kidnap someone.
