so i got a brand new cell phone with a brand new number and completely forgot to tell everyone. was walking around for several days thinking, "why isn't my phone ringing anymore?" stupid lauren. so, for future reference, my new phone number is...
231-0796
i didn't mean to get a new number, my dad cancelled the plan on the same day that i was planning on going in. oh well. speaking of my dad, he's just arrived in karkush and still enjoying himself. over half of his emails are about how great the food is.
fourth of july weekend was fun. went fishing with matt and some friends of his on sunday. that's right, I CAUGHT A FISH!!! actually i caught four but only one was big enough to keep. so much fun. we went hiking all around the lukiamute (?) which is really beautiful. i had some trouble with aiming and casting. my fingers didn't want to let go at the right time so i would either hit the bank i was standing on or the girl standing up river from me. oops. we were so tired and hungry that we decided not to cook up the fish that night, instead matt and i went out to chinese with my mom. mmm. much better than trout. but i'm sure i'll be forced to eat the fish the next time we go. yuck.
i was supposed to have monday and tuesday off from work to spend with matt but ed decided we needed three servers and two hostesses which pissed everybody off. it wasn't that busy, but i ended up screwing up bigtime and lost a table of six because i'd reserved the back tables for a group of seventeen. because we both had tuesday off, matt and i went out and got so drunk monday night. started at three with lunch at fox and firkin, wandered around the riverfront for a bit and then stopped in at aj's which is now the union. the only people in the bar were the bartender and her boyfriend so we sat and chatted for a bit. walked back to my house to finish off the tequila from matt's birthday then back to the red white and blues festival to listen to hammersmith. decided to go back to fox to take a shot or two (damned beer gardens and their only serving beer) and ran into matt's neighbor and some of his friends. did tequila shots with them and then matt drank a few glasses of beer with his friend leroy. tried to go back to the end of hammersmith's performance but matt was so drunk that he couldn't even walk and i was only slightly better. somehow we made it back home although i really can't remember much of it. woke up tuesday morning and went back to matt's place to sleep on his bigger and more comfortable bed. matt and his roommate made an enormous and delicious breakfast and then we both passed out again until four. watched fight club until dark and then wandered down to the waterfront. i have to say that it's been two years since i've seen the fireworks in corvallis but i was really disapointed. it barely lasted for half an hour. bastards. aparently albany's was way better. that's right, suck it corvallis.
right. so that was my week. now off to lunch with my mom again.
lolo out
