"Birthday Parties in Heaven"
I was sweating freaking bullets yesterday. The weather was absolutely atrocious, complimenting the usual traffic. Fuck, i thought i was going to flip out. Only Elaine comes up with the idea: "Im going to have a dinner party at my house at 7 pm when i dont leave work till 5:30, i work in Sweetwater, and then i have to go to publix." I feel bad for Jacky, she had to put up with me in the car racing around like a mad woman. I got home at 7:10 and hadnt showered yet. But in the end it all turned out pretty damn well. I baked a cougar paw cake for c/o 2005 and Teresas birthday. It turned out pretty. Kenny grilled the hot dogs, and they came out good : )There were like 12 or 15 of us-mostly mah girls. Teresa was soo excited about the party that in the end i was definitely glad i went through with it. Kenny and i attempted to kidnap fahad from his house, because he just got back from Pakistan. Well we got there, and literally tried to kidnap him, but it didnt work- the kid fought back. You would think between kenny and i we could take him. But no. Alas. But then later Kenny-my-offical-accomplice-when-involved-in kidnappings and I drove over and successfully kidnapped Kathy. I was so freaking excited to see her! EEEEE! I'm so glad we got together, unfortunately mike an javi left early... and zahid... well ima talk to you later about your highly noticable absence from the premises. Anyhoo. Everyone got a chance to talk and eat cake, which i didnt burn... So id say it turned out well. My neighbor got bitchy so everyone left before one save a portion of the movie night crew, so i got some movie time in... Fight Club and Rounders... anyway im at work, eating leftover baked ziti and drying my eyes... Ok.. three women huddled around computer watching Green Days new video for Wake me up when September Ends.. Ok i cried just listening to that song when i first got the cd... but oh lord the video opens up the flood gates on so many levels. Same thing with the party. I almost started crying because i realised what it was all about. This summer has been absolutely... real. Like thats the only word i can use for it, because there were definitely painful moments, tears, and points where i felt low. But, ive been spending most of my time with really amazing people-You know the kind... where you can just have fun playing with tin foil, sunglasses and a camera... and be entertained for long periods of time... I got to spend SOoooo much time with Heather, my best friend since middle school... whether it was movie night, 3 am icecream pursuits, rides home from FIU, the ft lauderdale airport at midnight, tampa, orlando, the "key," incriminating party behavior or even just helping her fold silverware into napkins at 5 am at the Dennys on 104 and US1 she will always answer her phone at 4 am for me when im bored, sad, excited or whatever and i love her so much! I guess im going to end this entry now... im too tired to really put into words what i want to say, soo perhaps on a day when ive had more than 45 minutes of sleep, i will detail a bit more.
