sooooo....this is the third blog about the same evening but i thought i might as well write about it too. my version is a little different though as i did not spend the day with tish and emilee as they did respectively with each other.
my saturday started out like any other saturday in my life except i woke up at my mother's new apartment for i am moving in with her. i pretty much sat around and watched movies all day, ate breakfast, lunch and dinner etc...everything normal and routine, but then i took a shower, routine in itself but what i did afterward is not. i was bored and wasn't planning on going anywhere because emilee had not called me yet and i assumed that she and tish had already carved pumpkins so i decided to make an attempt at straightening my hair. it wasn't that difficult, but it was all frizzy and big! i thought of taking a picture but i was.......hesitant! since i didn't care for the way my hair turned out i decided to wear what emilee calls a beannie. so i sat down at the computer to continue my boring day and lo! who should call me but my the fabulously entertaining, awe inspiring beauty EMILEE to invite me to come and carve pumpkins. of course i'm NOT hesitant to join them and i head out immediately. so brendan, emilee, tish and i met up at 1327 pine grove and headed out to k-marts! lol. a few avalanches and foreshadowing comments about rotten pumpkins later we were into the store to purchase our veg's! (that's for you elise!) after that we went to the always delectable Jimmy's on 24th street for some nice cold ice cream! yum! next we went back to emilee's house and ate our IC while watching chicago on tv for a bit and then began the festivities. fernando arrived in flip flops no less when i'm sure it was 40 degrees outside but whatever! it was funny to see him wearing socks and flip flops! lol. major fashion faux pas! anyways...the pumpkin carving began and all was well until brenden opened his and what does it smell like?! none other than a dead, rotten hooker as tish said. i thought it smelled more like a porto-john but whatev! brenden thought maybe if he dumped out the innards maybe it would be better but it only made the smell worse and the visual wasn't all that pleasant either. so we made three teams of carvers instead since we now only had three pumpkins. "Team Hair" - Brenden and Me! "Team Loner" - Emilee! and "Team Mexican" - Tish and Fernando! "Team Hair" carved what was supposed to be a cat in a tree but what looked more like a rat in said tree and without a lid no less. i don't think brenden and i were having good luck because his pumpkin was rotten and i dropped my top in the trashcan whither he had dumped his rotten pumpkin juice and i wasn't about to go in after it so we went without. "Team Loner" carved a classic goofy pumpkin face. and "Team Mexican" carved what was supposed to be a cat and a spider and did look like a cat but i never saw the spider. once we were done we tried to decide where we should smash the rotted pumpkin, but not before fernando had the brilliant idea to dump hot water in it! yum! gag! barf! so we dumped out the water first and put the veg in a bag to cart it around in so that nasty veg juice didn't get in my car. fyi - the pumpkin is now name "veg" because i'm tired of typing pumpkin! lol. anyways, we thought of maybe smashing it at E&A but we are babies and couldn't follow through on top of being horribly stupid criminals because we circled the block a few times before going in the parking lot, parking to wait for the cars to move on and then finally pulling up to the drive through so we didn't look so suspicious and leaving because we couldn't do it. after that i thought maybe we could do it at my dad's house since i hate him right now but i decided it was not a good idea because i knew he'd know it was me on top of the fact that i think he was probably home so yeah! then because we had no other thoughts of where to do it we kicked off the light thingy at the boardwalk into the river and watched it float on down to st. clair! after that the night was sadly over and we all cleaned up at emilee's house and left. all in all it was a great night! i love hanging out with those guys!
