*giggles* That was so fun! Paige had her b-day party today n I was invited. So, for a good 6 or so hours, I was hanging out with Jakes family-and actually walked away unscathed! xP Come join me behind the cut won't you?? *disappears in a puff of smoke*
Ah, I'm feeling generous today, you won't kill/hurt anything ^-^ *there was much rejoicing; yaaaaay* teehees, anyway! For some reason I was invited to Paiges post b-day party...I think that was Jake's doing, but I'm only 95% sure that's why. Oh well, I went, and had a ball :D
Jake n Paige came to get me at around 6ish, though my dad kept asking me over n over the whole time I was waiting if they were for sure they didn't want him to take me over-that he could if they wanted-so on n so forth. I think he's starting to feel as bad as I am that they pick both of us up n drop us off more than we do >.<' We're the type of family that if you do something, we'll meet you halfway in return. That's really hard to do with Jakes family, lol. He had already said they'd come to get me, they were probably on their way, I didn't see calling and asking if dad could take me as an option, so I just waited trying to reassure dad that it was really ok for them. When we got there one of the first things I noticed was this ADORABLE lil kitten laying on the floor. White with black spots-just so cute. But, I also noticed it seemed very skiddish, so I decided to let it be. Instead I stood around with Jake until he lead me over to their couch n sat, Kahlea fighting against Paige who was trying to do her hair.
We mainly just watched whatever the little one was watching on Noggin as more people trickled in here and there. I was really starting to get nervous as I realized I barely knew anyone there. Yea, I'd seen them at the Graduation party n possibly remembered their names, but I didn't really know them know them. Jake became a safety leash for me when we got up to get food and sat down with Paige n her friend, Whitney, in the dining room. I thought for sure someone was going to make a comment about how quiet I was being, cuz I don't think I said one word the whole time other than, "The gravy and mashed potatoes are invading my corn." -_-' As time went on I got more comfortable with everyone, but I only really talked when one of them would say something to me first, otherwise I just talked to Jake. I feel bad about it now, but I can't help it...Anyway, Jake and I killed god knows how much time after we'd finished eating by amazing lil card tricks.
*head desk* God I wish I could remember those card tricks Chris taught all us girls! Cuz the tricks Jake were showing me just...ah, they confused me on how he did them until he explained them-I want to show him the awesomeness of my tricks. There was one where he had the Ace, King, Queen, and Jack with each of their suits, then mad them "jump" or something another n in the end all the Aces, Kings, etc. were together in individual piles. It was so cool! When I tried it out the first time, Jake cheated n messed me up. Then the next time I just royally messed it up xD Oh well *shrugs* He showed me about 4 different ones and explained them, but that's really the only one I remember attempting *giggles* I kept getting distracted by the kitten! I even got to hold her for awhile 'til Kahlea ran off with her again :3 Jake n I got into several "throwing cards at eachother" fights here and there when she did, which somehow ended up in us playing Slap Jack. HE SO CHEATED!! *laughs* All he wanted was the Jacks, so even if I'd won the pile he'd take the Jack! Then there were several times I'd won the pile, but he took it cuz he said the card I'd laid down didn't matter. Lol, again-oh well. It was so fun, though I can never seem to win in any game with him without him accusing me of cheating or just not letting us finish the game at all xP One day there will come a day I will beat him *cackles manically*
After all that, I got basically forced into a game of Spoons with a good portion of his family in the dining room. I've heard so many horror stories about that family and their Spoons games-hell, on the way to the party they told me about the last time they played Jake alone broke a chair n then fought a guy to the ground for a spoon...I was terrified to play with them! *hides behind Jake* Well, I ended up really enjoying myself ^-^ Their was about 10 or so of us playing at all times, so the first time everyone dived for the spoons my first instinct reaction was to dive in the opposite direction n let them tear eachother apart. Luckily, Jake's a sweetheart n would get two spoons then chuck one at me, so I only got "Spo" throughout the whole game. But he wasn't the only reason I didn't fail out. The game lasted for a good 2 hours, so I slowly, but surely, got into diving for the spoons with the rest of them. I was hell bent to not drop out of the game...plus I was really having fun :D Those guys can get vicious man! There where a good 4 or so occasions that someone ended up in my lap, once I had to fight for my spoon, two people ended up getting bit, and someone fell out of their chair fighting for a spoon *giggles at the thought of everything* At about 10:30 we paused the game so I could call dad and ask him if I could stay 'til midnight instead of 11. He said it was ok, so we continued the game 'til about 11:30ish xD His family is so funny, especially during the game. I'm so glad they talked me into playing with all of'em ^-^
Afterwards we went outside to watch everyone play Moonlight Tag (since Jake couldn't play I sat out with him on the porch n just watched instead). We didn't get to watch for long, though, cuz within the second round his mom came out n said we had to go :( All the way home Jake, his mom, and I all talked. I was definitely more comfortable around them, I'd love to come around more often for things like this :3 I know my family really behaves everytime Jake comes around, I wonder if his did that tonight??...I doubt it xD teehees.
Well, I should probably head for bed; Jake is coming over tomorrow n I need to get up at about 11 to take a shower. Well, ah, I don't need to go to bed yet. I'll just go do something else right now. So, sayonara everyone! *waves, then scurries off to find something productive to do*
