"It's not the destination that matters, it's the journey" -I have no idea.
I'm assuming that it was either some dead guy or some pseudo-intellectual movie character, but that's beside the point, because it's so true! Last night, six of us attended a fifteen minute party. Yeeeup! Fifteen minutes. That's all it took! But, the best of it is, it took two hours to plan Cooper and I getting over there.
General Timeline of the Planning:
8:00 - Ben calls Jacque informing her of "massive get together" involving going to his house and watching a movie.
8:03 - After telling Ben that she can't go, as she is watching her little brother, Ben informs Jacque that Nick Janke will, in fact, be there.
8:03 and 54 seconds - Jacque makes "O_________O!!" this face and begins vigorously tearing her hair out. Planning begins. Ben tells Jacque that she ought to bring Cooper with her.
8:10 - The following conversation takes place with little brother:
"Damn it, Cooper! Because you exist I can't go to a party tonight!"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm watching you!!"
"...So take me with you?"
"..."
8:20 - Jacque convinces herself not to go as Rosalius cannot go what with homework and such.
8:25 - The following conversation takes place with mother:
"So yeah, this this party tonight, but I'm not-"
"You can go, I'm fine with that."
"But what about Cooper?"
"He has to come with you. If you can find a ride home, and he goes too, then you're welcome to go."
8:30 - The 3-Way calling begins. Jacque, Rosalie and Ben/Nick/Whoever happens to have the phone prod Rosalie into coming, but to no avail.
8:52 - Nick proceeds to give Jacque a really long explanation on how to find the ladder he hid in the park so that she may steal Rosalie from her window.
8:57 and 12 ½ seconds - Jacque realizes that the only bit of the entire speech that she remembers is the part about getting a hobo to throw pennies over his back.
9:02 - Rosalie leaves Jacque so that she may watch Desperate Housewives, also known as public television porno.
9:05 - The call-waiting saga begins. This is the period in which Jacque had one person on each line constantly. The phrase “Hang on, I have another call” was used more times during the saga than it has been used in the history of those six words. These conferences were prodding Jacque to grab the little ‘un and get down there.
9:07 - Jacque breaks down and agrees to come. Planning begins.
9:14 - A plan is devised.
9:19 - Jacque and Cooper head out the door.
So we met at Subway, and I was informed that they’d nearly stolen a Bush-Cheney sign on the way over. I was amused. They met my little brother, and apparently he’s cooler than I am. Go figure. Though, I’m beginning to think that it’s because he did back flips in some random person’s yard, and gave Sara someone to run into the political signs with.
So we finally get to Ben’s at quarter to ten, hang out for all of fifteen minutes until we get shut down at ten because Ben’s dad thought it was time for all of us to go home. So, the five of us, Dylan had gone home, talking about Chuck E. Cheese. Nick’s mom came and got us and I was home by 10:15.
Oh and…er…I got a date to homecoming too. May have left out that little detail. Hugegrin. Yeah. It was nice. And warm. And fuzzy. :DD
And that’s all I have. Nods. EXCEPT! New inside jokes, as worded by Ben: The car wash fight. Running. Signs. Pocket tumors. Backflips. Apples and bannanananas. Violence makes me laugh. Was it just me or was that thing flying? All the cool kids sit down. Don't play in traffic. Chuck E. Cheese. I think that's them. Purple, orange, and green are already taken, we're talking politics.
“Because every now and again, the straight-laced kids need to get a little weird…”
