Laura's Birthday
So I drove up to Columbia today for fluffylovekitty's birthday -- in fact, as I type this, we sit in the living room watching Kim Possible and peddling away on our computers. Laura had warned me she didn't have a cake, so I brought one up where I scribbled "Happy Birthday Twin! =D " in purple gel icing. We went to Jazz's to eat dinner with some of Laura's coworkers, and then headed up to Trops to drink alcoholic slushies. Afterward, we headed back to the apartment to pick up fold-y chairs, and drove out to Fingerlakes State Park to watch the Perseids. I was so excited -- I haven't properly watched a meteor shower in a long time, and watching a meteor shower with friends was one of the things I had on my list of things to do before I died. We saw some amazing shooting stars, and even a UFO -- it was quite odd. All of a sudden, it just appeared, as bright as the planet in the southern sky, just by the Little Dipper. It was moving very slowly downward, like a satellite, and as it did so, faded slowly away as it moved until finally it disappeared. It was far too slow to be any type of meteor, and far too bright to be a satellite.
The half-moon rose up close to the end of our watching, blood-red and quickly faded to a bright orange. it was gorgeous. And afterward, we headed back to the apartment for cake.
"I'm going to the bathroom," said Laura, walking through the hallway.
"Okay!" I said, turning into the kitchen. "And when you're back, we'll light candles."
"... All right..." said Laura, walking into the bathroom. She shut the door, and shouted from behind, "But I have matches on the toilet."
I stood there, opening the cake's covering. I guess we could use those, I thought.
"I have a lighter," offered AJ.
Suddenly, Laura came back out wide eyed and stared my direction. "YOU MEANT THE CAKE."
I stared at her, nonplussed, trying to figure out what she could have possibly meant...
"I THOUGHT YOU MEANT THE BATHROOM," she said.
We began laughing hysterically. But then we ate cake.
It was an awesome day all in all. Though I'm really glad I get paid on Friday =D I need to figure out what I'm going to do about my comic site's layout. I really have no clue how to work with Wordpress or Comicpress, and my skills in coding sites has become null over time. I used to be really into it in high school, but now... I really don't know. I want to set up something like the Snafu comic site has, where there are comments/blogs under each entry, and the different comics are entirely separated. I want a separate part for my Bleach doujinshi that I'm working on, old random archives, and the new comedy comic that's going to follow my attempt at Pirate Cafe in college.
Mehhhh.
