boringest excitement

didn't draw anything in class today, coz i had to sit in a courtroom in llano this morning instead. rather, i had to wake up at 6, drive to south austin with dad, drive to llano with dad and a lawyer, sit in a courtroom and freeze, then drive back to austin. instead of sitting in class and listen to people talk, i sat in a car and a redneck court and listened to people talk. it was a drag, since i couldn't draw, but it was somewhat educational.
i learned:
-that while i can in no way pretend to not be a freak, i can pass for a friendly, congenial, harmless kind of freak.
-that our lawyer is a very nice, liberal, bigoted asshole, and probably a fairly useful cog in the machine to have on your side.
-what the significance is of a judge deciding to forgo reading of the docket. i asked the lawyer and he just defined the words for me, which i already knew, so i watched what was going on and determined that the significance is this: none whatsoever. the lawyer verified this.
-that lawyers are often late.
-that the woodwork and trim details in the llano county courthouse piss me off.
-that i like talking to construction workers more than the other people i met today, even though i have nothing in common with either of them.

i also learned that people don't have alot to say to me, even when i try to talk to them.
