Yay, I'm back!

First off, I need to thank everybody who wished me a Happy 20th Birthday in some form (comment, IM, card, entry, dinner, present, etc.). So, I would like to thank (in no particular order whatsoever):

THANK YOU!!!

I spent the 21st with my family. Was very nice. My nephew had a baseball game that day that I went to. He told me that he was going to hit a home run for me, which is sweet. I was really surprised when he followed through on his promise, and actually hit one over the fence. His coaches let him keep the ball, and it's now displayed on the mantle in the living room with the date on it.

I had much fun the 23rd when I went out to eat with a few buds at Ruby Tuesday's and then went mini-golfing and on a bumper boat ride at Caddy Shack. I seriously enjoyed myself, and I sincerely thank everyone involved. Unfortunately Megan, Laura, and Laura's Matt-Matt had to skip the Caddy Shack experience. The three of us that did go enjoyed ourselves immensely ("What!? These bumper boats have squirt guns!?"). Making plans for another trip to Caddy Shack with more people involved, because it's too good of an activity to only be experienced by three people.

My friends from high school, Anne and Erin, just happened to go to Caddy Shack that nite as well. It was awesome, because they were golfing behind us. So after our 18 holes we asked them if they wanted to go on the bumper boats with us. Anne declined, but Erin was psyched. It was great fun, as we were totally soaked.

Too much fun. :)

I went to the Rhode Island's Reunion X on Saturday nite with Sharlene. It was celebrating ten years of the X-Games, which were first held in Providence. Tony Hawk, Mat Hoffman, Bob Burnquist, and Fabiola da Silva were just a few of the people there. It was pretty cool, they did different stunts on the half pipe for a while. I didn't really go there for them though, I was really there for the Darkness, who did a 50 min. set to close out the show. But, I was still impressed by the athletes.

I've been to every gig the Darkness has had in this area, and I have to say that that was the best show I've seen them do yet. Maybe that was largely due to the fact that I got right up at the stage, in front of Dan, and got his crotch shoved in my face multiple times during his guitar features. I also had the oppurtunity to touch Justin Hawkins' thigh. Nice firm thigh. MMMmmm. Sharlene really enjoyed them, which was great, because I bought her the ticket as her birthday gift because she said that she'd never been to one of their gigs, and really wanted to go.

It was nice spending time with her, because I rarely ever get the chance to hang out with her. Between our work schedules, her band practices, and stuff like that, it's really difficult.

I had Sunday nite off work, surprisingly, so I slept till about 3pm, and then went Hollywood Video to rent DVD's. I felt like being nice, so I rented Van Helsing for the Xbox for Cody, Welcome to Mooseport for mum and dad, and The Magdalene Sisters for me. Knowing how I am, if I were one of those girls, I'd pretty much have a ticket in there for life. Sister Bridget looks an awful lot like Sister Theresa, the nun who taught my ccd classes. *Shivers up spine.*

I got to spend time today with another good friend I haven't seen in a while - Julia. Today was the first session for freshman orientation, and we wanted to set up a table to publicize the group - let people know we're around campus, and possibly get a few people to sign up. And we did just that. Came out of the whole experience with a gorgeous sunburn on my face, arms, neck, and a bit on my back. Lovely. While we were sitting at the table, Julia and I were in awe to the degree of which she'd tanned. Honestly, when she'd first brought it to my attention we had only been sitting out there for about an hour or so, and she lifted her sleeve and you could see the difference in her skin color. Well, it wasn't until I got home and lifted up my sleeve to show my mum the burn that I noticed that my burn was extremely noticeable. There's a clear red line that shows you where my sleeves stopped. Oi. I've got a manny tan. *Sigh*

Mental note: Wear sunblock for the next orientation session.

I got my birthday gift from her as well. It was wrapped all neatly in Hanukkah-themed wrapping paper (cuz Julia's jewish!) and it was a set of 4 mugs that she got at the store she works at, Funusual. They've got a 60's retro thing going on. There's a Carnaby Street, Abbey Road, Penny Lane, and Notting Hill Gate. They're so awesome! I almost don't want to use them and just keep them on my desk for always. But she insisted that I must use them to drink my tea. Well, my iced tea, as I'm not drinking warm tea during the hot summer.

Julia also brought up the idea of studying abroad. We've talked about it in the past. She brought up the idea of studying in Cairo. Certainly as a history major, Cairo is a great place to study. I'm definitely interested in learning more about it, but I dunno if Cairo is the type of place an American student should head to. Granted, I don't think anything has happened to Americans in Egypt (as far as I know of), but it still makes me wee bit nervous. But, I'll go with the flow of things, and if it leads her and I to Cairo, then Cairo it is.

I'm also happy to report that Julia is still the dirty slut that we all know and love.

I'll wrap it up as I've got some aloe vera gel chilling in the fridge that needs to be applied to these burns.

Hasta Luego,
Meg

PS - If I forgot anybody who wished me a Happy Birthday on the thank you list, please let me know. My mind can be shit at times, and I really want to thank you for the well wishes.
