"Drugs don't grow on trees!" - Busso
Alright, where did I leave off. I was spending the weekend in Anderson, crashing on Cara's ultra-comfy couch. Ahhhh, it was nice.
I forget when I last wrote. I think it was Friday night. So I'll start with Saturday.
I slept in til around, oh... 10 or 10:30, and then got up while both Julie and Cara were out of sight (in their room, perhaps? or asleep?) so I decided to see what was on TV. To my utter delight, Back to the Future was on. I didn't end up watching it, but I did sit still long enough to enjoy my favorite scene... Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream... with the '50s town square... and yeah. I love it.
Then Cara fixed her comp so I got online, and then we watched a bunch of TV. Weird Al stuff was on VH1, so we watched a ton of that which is great because I love Weird Al... and then Webjunk was on, which I got into during Thanksgiving dinner chez Kyle/Trav/Trevor when it was on in the background and we laughed at it while we ate.
Finally we got around and went to Lori's wedding and then to the reception. It was fun, going to a wedding with just friends. It was the first time I've gone without family. It was a lot better, to be honest. Not that I don't like my family, but because it's just a lot more relaxed and fun with friends. Especially if you actually care about the person getting married and aren't doing it out of family obligation.
Yay for Lori!!!
I did some videotaping during the night, all of which are on youtube now. Good stuff. Especially Ryan going crazy for the punch.
After breaking it down on the dance floor for a bit (me, Jill, and Cara... and someone else I think), we decided to call it a night. So Cara and I returned, as we came - bonding to Jimmy Eat World again - and then she went to hang out with Jill/Kristin/Jessie next door so I got online and played on youtube and hooked my iPod up to her speakers/sub and enjoyed having some time alone in their apartment.
Being in their apartment got me thinking about my future apartment that I'll be getting come summer. I actually was pretty excited about it. I do love to decorate, and I do love having my own space. Yeah buddy.
Sooo... then Cara got back and we ended up sitting around watching stuff on youtube for a couple hours. Mainly Weird Al music videos. And interviews. And then the emo kid. And then the emo girl. And then Cara went to bed and I... kept doing my thing for a couple more hours before crashing once more into the fabulous comfy couch.
Today I woke up around 11, packed up my stuff, did some last-chance high-speed internet enjoying, and then headed home. 2 hour drive. Tired. Hungry. Singing along with my fantastic iPod playlist.
When I pulled in at home, my mom and bro were also just getting back from church/grandma's... with Subway in tow. With an extra sandwich for me. Perfect timing. It was great. We watched some of this week's Justin Timberlake episode of SNL, which actually was pretty much great from what we watched so far. They did the BeeGees one, with Justin Timberlake as Robin. Ohhhh yeah. '70s fun.
Then I showered. Blasting my BeeGees CD... haha. Hey, SNL got me in the mood.
Baby I can't figure it out, your kisses taste like honey...
Then I was starting to get around when Stephanie showed up EARLY. So I hid from her and had my mom go entertain her while I blowdried my hair and got dressed. When I went out there, she decided to inform my mom and brother about my life issues that were supposed to remain between me and a few trusted friends.
So I got teased mercilessly basically... for a long time. Then Busso and Anne came and we sat around talking and having story hour with Stephanie about her engagement, Anne about her boyfriend troubles, Busso about smoking the hookah, and me about my life issues, which they forced me to elaborate on.
Finally, we decided to leave so I drove us to town and we had dinner at Pizza Hut, where I finally opened up freely and unashamedly about things that are going on in my life, and... it was good. And we also took pictures, and in every one Busso looked like she was high on something. We blame it on the hookah... haha
Then we went to DQ... and that was good. And I told them all about the Hot Glue incident, which somehow they had never heard. HOW COULD THIS BE?! It's my best story. Ever. I was shocked. Even some AU people know that story, and none of them ever worked in the factory.
So I told the tale of burning my leg with hot glue, complete with motions and scene set-up. And the crowd went wild.
Seriously. They were busting a gut. I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S MY BEST STORY. Or at least top 10.
Then we packed up and went back to my house, where we sat around talking for a bit and then I decided it would be fun to play with the BOP-IT EXTREME. One of our favorite high school pastimes. So I searched my closet to no avail. I have no idea where that thing is. I need to find it, it's a crowd-pleaser. It's a MUST for when I move out on my own. A MUST.
So instead I grabbed Guesstures from the top shelf. Dusting it off... we began to play.
Best. Idea. Of the night.
So I used my camera to videotape people acting out their words, and we got some PRICELESS footage. Most of which were due to Stephanie (the "ghost", the "pregnant gorilla") and Busso (the cowboy). So many laughs. Most of which caught on tape. So when I get back to AU, I'm gonna put them on youtube. Not now, though. I tried, but dial-up just isn't working with me. Ever.
After a while they decided to leave, so that will probably be the last I see of Stephanie until... hmm... a long while from now. And I will most likely see a lot of Busso and Anne during break, which is AWESOME because usually that doesn't work. But I'm looking forward to more good times.
Now I'm just sitting here, enjoying some PEACE AND QUIET. Listening to my '70s playlist. Chilling. In solitude. Ahhhhhhh. This = good.
Tomorrow I think I have to go shopping w/ my dad for my mom's Christmas presents. It'll be alright. Although I'm really in the mood to sit around in my pj's all day, not go shopping (I really hate shopping). But sometimes you can't get what you want.
Plus it's nice to buy people presents. It makes them feel good.
Uhhhhhhhhh... that's about it.
I like talking to people online that I don't get to see every day. It makes me happy in the darkness of a without-them world.
Wow, that was a bleak portrait I just painted. My apologies.
And now... I'm gonna... do something. I'm not sure what. But it doesn't really matter. I'm at home, my papers are over, my exams are over, I'm ignoring the issues of the day, and I'm still on a buzz from hanging out with 3 of my best friends in the entire world that I hardly ever get to see.
Life is good.
P.S. Busso thought my discussion with Anne that I posted on facebook about her hookah-smoking being a gateway to heavier drugs and a life of criminal behavior was hilarious. So we discussed it a few times, and I have her on video describing what the best drugs are and how to do them. Also she offered us some drugs that she was peddling out of her shirt pocket.
It was a joke, but so darn hilarious. Too bad it's too big of a file to put on youtube. Maybe when I get back to AU I can edit it down. We'll see how that goes.
Some advice from Stephanie:
Stephanie53185: i think you underestimate yourself
Stephanie53185: and sell yourself short
Stephanie53185: you never think highly of yourself
Stephanie53185: so why would anyone else, you need to view yourself for who I SEE YOU AS! youre awesome, you make me laugh no matter what, you listen to me, you can be serious when needed...just sell YOU, dont be someone youre not...if thats not enough for people, then they aren't worth it
