Poker Run
Yesterday morning a bunch of us all met down at the church and went on a poker run. A poker run is where you start out with a clue and your group has to go to the place where that clue takes you and you'll find a playing card and another clue until you have seven cards. Then at the end the group with the best poker hand wins. We were sent to places such as the train station, Kelso's mini airport, the squirrel bridge, and the Sunday market. It was alot of fun! Sara, Adam, and I came in second place with a full house. We would have won, but Chris's group had a full house with kings and jacks and ours was with queens and nines.
Chris was acting suspiciously happy the entire time. His girlfriend broke up with him last week, so you wouldn't expect him to be overly happy, but he was. When I first got down to the church he was lying in the grass so I asked him if he was tired and he said, "No, I'm just having a really good day." I didn't really think much about that, it's something he'd do. But then when we made a coffee run he got a call on his cell and kept talking about how he was busy right then and had to go to his cousin's wedding but he'd be free that afternoon and promised to call back as soon as he was. Then when we got back to the parkinglot he purposely took up about four spaces (he has a truck so he can do that) and said that he "didn't feel like parking between the lines."
So what conclusion can I make from all of this bubbling happiness? He has a new girlfriend he's not telling us about. Mmm hmm, I'm pretty sure. He should know by now that he's required to tell Sara and me these things (Sara of course came to the same conclusion that I did). I mean really, for a guy he's actually pretty good at informing us things and getting into the whole girl-talk as much as a guy can. He knows he has to tell us this stuff. He asks us about our boyfriends all the time when we have them, and makes us tell him all about them and everything, but then when it comes to his girlfriends he's all, "Oh yeah, I've been going out with this girl, ______, for a couple of weeks." Silly boy. Or man, I guess, since he's older. Whatever.
Dalena gets to go to Virginia for the whole summer probably. I'm so jealous! I wanna go REALLY REALLY BAD! With the way my parents are though I'll be lucky if I can get them to let me go for a few weeks. I can't see how they'd ever be able to let their "little girl" be on the other side of the country for the entire summer. It really sucks to be the oldest and the only girl, especially where my dad is concerned. Andy, you gotta help me out here. I don't know how I'm going to be able to make it! I'm pretty sure that if I get a few scholarships to pay for college I'll be able to convince them to let me go for a week or two, but how am I going to convince them that going long enough to have a job there would work? Well, if there's a way, we'll find it.
I should go eat lunch now. I'm picking Toni up in a while, and we're going to go hang out and bond and stuff. Hopefully we can think of something good to do, something cheap, not that places like that exsist around here. As Yoshi says, the northwest is a beautiful place, but the Kelso/Longview area is horrible. A little advice to all of you: Never move here! Go to Vancouver/Portland, or north a little like Puyallup or Olympia. Those are good places. Kelso just has the worst crime rate/drug rate/AIDS/Hepititus/teen pregnancy/unemployment rate around. Now don't get me wrong, there are some nice parts of town too. The hill I live on is pretty good, and down by the lake is nice. But that's it. Right, I was leaving, wasn't I? I really should learn to control the rambling somewhat...
