So my birthday is in about 45 minutes and my party tonight was awesome. I love my friends, only in a completely nonsexual way. I'm incredibly tired, though. So here's a quick rundown of what went down today:
At about 3:30 Nick, BJ, John, Mike, Dominick, Steven and I headed out to Modesto to go to Funworks. We got there just a bit before 5, because there was traffic and stuff. We got there, and got out deal situated and then went to play some golf. It was raining, but who cares? I can't really say we had much of a game, because we all cheated for the most part. Good times.
Then we got some pizza, at the all you can eat pizza buffet! It was pretty crazy, cuz they had like a chili pizza, where the pizza sauce was chili and the sausage was the kind that you may find in certain types of chili. It was pretty intense.
Then we went on the Bumper Boats. Let me tell you, that was INSANE. Steven and I took this one that had a cross thingie on it because we were going to be Pirates and kill everyone. It turns out, that the ship's squirt guns didn't move. So we got incredibly soaked. The day was already cold and wet, so we were freezing. It was ok, though, because everyone else was soaked too. We did this at like 5:30 too, and we were wet when we got back home at 10.
After the Bumper Boats, we tried to dry ourselves off ghetto style. We headed to the bathroom and pointed the air dryer at our close to try and dry them out. Didn't work too well.
Then we headed to the Build a Bear area, where you take plush animals, stuff them, and then customize them to your liking. Mike stuffed a Bunny for Yazmin and had it play "Happy Birthday" when you squeezed it's hand because her birthday is on Saturday. The whole time we all sat around acting like the fathers of the bunny (similar to Three Guys and a Baby, or whatever that crazy movie was) and tried to name it. Eventually it was named Mr. Ray, but I think Mark would have been cooler. The chick that worked their was cool, too. She gave us a discount and we talked to her a bit. It was pretty funny though, because some of us made like every effort to flirt with her/hit on her and she was like 4 years older than us or whatever. I made sure to say bye to her on my way out of FunWorks though, cuz that's how I roll.
To finish things off, we went on the Bumper Cars. These weren't just any ordinary Bumper Cars, either. Oh no, my friends. These were special sensor Bumper Cars. If you hit someone in the right spot, you'd get points for it. The first time we went, I got in second place, and my team one. Second time, I was in dead last (my car stopped moving :() and my team lost. Third time was the best, though. I got in first place and had more points than the other team combined. And they had more people than us. So it was cool.
Then we headed out. During the whole night, we would stay around the Jukebox area, listening to old 50's-70's tunes or kids songs. We played The Hokey Pokey, and danced along and then listened to We Are the Champions. We definitely got into that one. For our exit though, we put on "Kiss Him Goodbye" the song that goes "Nananana nananana, hey hey hey, goodbye." I know you all knew it. Then we walked out in slow motion as it faded in the backround, and once we were all outside we jumped up and clicked our heels together. It was sweet.
Finally on the drive home, we'd listen to a lot of random songs. I had control of the radio, so I picked a lot of random stuff. The best moments though, were "Landslide" (I think... it's the Fleetwood Mac cover) by the Dixie Chicks, because even though it's a country song that isn't even that great... WE ALL KNEW THE WORDS and that old song by Chumbawumba that goes "I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN! YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN." We knew that one too. All in all, it was a cool night. I'm staying up til 12, too. Expect a new entry pretty soon.
