I just got off the phone with Lilly and Michael; it was SO good to hear their voices again! Lilly gave me up-to-date information regarding Lana Weinberger and Josh Richter. Supposedly, they're going out again. Wow, what a surprise. I mean, Lana's pretty much the most popular girl in school, and yep, you guessed it: Josh is the most popular guy. They're destined for one another. Don't get me wrong; they can keep it that way. I supposedly went out with Josh for…oh let's see…a DAY. He took me to this beach party, making me believe he finally liked me. But in the end, it turned out he just went out with me for his own publicity reasons. What a JERK.
Anyway, after talking for like 5 hours with Lilly, she put Michael on the phone. It wasn't until I heard him say 'Hey Princess' that I realized how much I missed the sound of his WONDERFUL voice. See, I used to obsess over Josh Richter; that is, until I realized his complete and utter jerkiness. And it's totally embarrassing for me to admit that I REALLY was obsessed with him, even when Michael, the most amazing person EVER, was seeing me for me the whole time (that is, before and after I became a princess). Now that I think about it, I'm completely humiliated. But I'm amazingly glad that Michael didn't just shun me for not realizing what a great person he is sooner.
And now, I guess, we're sort of going out (Michael and I). Well, we're as 'going out' as two people, who live thousands of miles apart, can be, anyway.
Wow. When I put it like that, it sounds extremely tragic. How depressing.
But it doesn't matter, because I've finally found an amazing guy who likes me in return. And he likes me for who I am inside…without the princessy- shell.
So Michael and I talked for a few hours, just about how Genovia is and how Grove (my old school in C.A.) is. He says that "Principal Gupta just isn't the same without me." (she used to obsess over my being a princess) I find that QUITE funny.
We also talked about where he'll be going to college after senior year. It's still pretty far off (we'll both be Juniors in the fall), so it's not like he has to decide right away. But we just talked about it a bit. He'll be going to Columbia, probably, and he wants me to go, too.
How hard is that! When you're living thousands of miles away from the guy you love, and then he goes and begs you to attend the same college as him, two years from now!
But it's REALLY sweet, too.
Wow, I really need to figure stuff out more.
On the other hand, I'm dealing with those jitters I was talking about yesterday. Mom and I had a chat about this whole coronation thing, and I'm feeling SO much more confident now. At least, more confident than yesterday. Which is definitely progress, for sure. Mom says she knows I can do it, and my grandmother knows I can do it, and my father in Heaven knows I can do it. I just need to know that I can do it. And I do think I can do it. I think. I dunno…
Boy, I'm just a princess with so many questions and too little answers. Which is really my own fault for not searching enough for those answers.
Oopsies.
Okay, well, I gotta go feed Fat Louie. See ya.
