i'm ready to come home.

Because I'm cool..

Wednesday
Happy day of birth Natalita. Yes, Natalie turned 17 and we had fun. First piece of the day's business to attend to: buy party hats. Luckily for us the selection of hats only featured pastel colored clowns. Its rich. I ran into Tobben at Annies. And we picked out robot making supplies. Because robots are cooler than people. I had to scurry to Kelly's and we made siigggns. Yay for us. Oh signs. For basketball games. Clarissa's said "GO Natalie" and mine corresponded with "Oops. I mean, Happy Birthday. You are 17 years old, I hope you don't get cold." My poetic abilities never cease to amaze me. Kelly's said "We heart Natalita." Which technically should have read "We heart GRANDE Natalie." But yes. We also had "Guess what? Natalie is this many." (poster in shape of 17) It was really..well..amazing. No, but what was even more amazing was..are you ready. We bummed a ride to St. Louis from Mike DeLuca. There was Clarissa in front, Kelly, Tobben, Allison in the back. I think we basically made Mike hate us. But who can really fight the urge to make faces at passing cars on the highway with party hats? The answer is no one. And it was a great time. Poor 30 year old man who made some sort of strange face back. He seemed.. lonely. At the game (which was an off season keep-the-players-on-shape-game, so did it really count?) we set up right in the middle of the bleachers. And well, gave each other headaches. The chants were good, the screaming was loud, and the opponents fans were quite annoyed (which were about 10 people.) I liked it though. Tobben displayed his acrobatic skills at one point in the game. Natalie refused to wear a hat on the court. And Kelly and I try to get into a huddle. Back at Jenny's house Natalie unwraps gifts (I hopes she finds a good use for 5 pairs of star sunglasses) and we attempt tai quan do (because I can’t spell) in the backyard. I would mention the cookie cake (yum) but it gave me a severe stomach ache, so I wont. Clarissa and Mike leave. Kelly and I dance in the basement, and take pictures on cell phones. I really wish Natalie's dad's phone was a bit more distinguished from hers. Because well. I took pictures..with his phone. And then felt stupid. Kelly and I got a ride back to her house from Connie's mum. And we held a 5 minute pow-wow. So theres that.

Thursday
By this point in time I've listened to Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape by the "Christian metal band from Florida" Underoath a lot. Yes, sir. But that really has nothing to do with my day. I prodded my father into taking me birthday shopping (for other people, crazy kid) It should be good. At 7:30 (that’s a hour and a half late, shame) I arrived at Danielle’s. Little dog and I played, I should wear pants next time. Mythology was discussed. That and someone's sibling being "goth" Eh? Sometimes I love cake so much that it needs to be bought at Dairy Queen. Hence the piling of Katie, Kelly, Emily, Danielle, and I in a car and getting some. It took a jackhammer to slice into it. But, deary me, was it have on a Styrofoam plate. We watched Thirteen. And I realized I must be REALLY behind on my life experience. Those kids are just silly. But it was a really amazing movie. Fo rizzle. Oh. Then we watched Brat Camp. And I really wanted to have an "Earth Name" but I was not granted one. Suppose I'm not worthy yet. Those names made me laugh exceedingly hard. Emily and Caitlin left due to them having to work in the morning..what? Oh money..and not having any. Us kids talked a while, and fell asleep to Tale-Spin. I had a dream about my cell phone. That’s all I got on that.

Friday
Waking up in someone else's house is strange. Waking up to some else's house with Little Dog on you, hyperventilating (the dog, not me.. surprisingly) is just crazy. The nutritious breakfast of Cheese-Poofs was consumed, and I left. Tar and gravel stuck to my socks as I sprinted to the car. I slept on the couch because my 8 hours of sleep wasn’t a sufficient number for me. Play at 7:30pm. Woot for Joseph and his Techni-colored dream coat. When Sarah and I got there, we could hear singing children. And I thought they would deny us of our wholesome family fun. But no. It was good, colorful, and good. The highlight was, of course, hearing in front of me "Ha! She hit him on the back." Old men stating the obvious amused me. After talking to all our actor friends or you know, just Jake, (and meeting a Ben and an Alli) we picked up Kelly. Whom emerged from the upstairs with Snoop-Dog inspired braided pigtails. You know you have ALWAYS wanted to have a dance party at the lake with all the hoodlums, no? Yes, well WEEE did. And it was amusing. Zip it, save it, file it, and erase it. Kelly has mad gangster ghetto pop and lock moves. We're doing it again. With louder music. And you know, more of that..rap..stuff. But it still won’t beat the Postal Service.
