"Being Peace"

I went to mom’s house for a little while last night. Dad was telling me all of this stuff that Denise Vinsonhaler shared with him. I had my phone calls forwarded to mom and dad’s telephone number and Denise called for me. Dad answered the phone and he was going on and on about her. I think he liked her and was hinting for me to ‘go after her’.
Suzy Miller called me on New Year’s Eve but I didn’t go out with her. She telephoned a couple of more times and I failed to return her calls. She must think I am a snob. I can only believe she’s calling lately because of her possible interest in Chad—or for her roommate’s interest in Chad. And so, I guess I’m okay for not returning her calls. Ha-ha.
I can’t wait to do aerobics at the gym tonight.
Margaret Lai and I went to B&M Chinese Food again. I enjoy that place.
Chad phoned me just as I was about to get started with my work out. It was fun to do the aerobics. I didn’t do the entire Muscle Motion videotape work out but I did enough of it.
Chad and I ended up working out together at the gym later—sort of. He was pooping out.
After the workout Chad made a statement.
“You don’t seem ambitious or driven.”
“I guess that’s your point of view,” I said.
He’s in school. As I recall I felt more ambitious and driven when I was in school also. I don’t know. We all want our bit of fame and fortune.
“Well, what…are you going to be star?” I asked.
Chad replied, “Yes, I’ll be a star.”
So, we shall see.
I telephoned Denise Vinsonhaler. I suppose Dad had persuaded me to call on her after all.
Denise announced firmly, “Chad is a defensive sort. He’s a leader type that likes to tell people what to do. That’s my first impression.”
I thought this to be quite profound. It does fit him on many occasions.
"I believe that being happy is the only important thing."
Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
