prom, and all hail the relatives

Wow. It's been quite the busy weekend. So, Saturday. The morning consisted of finishing one of the Samurai X dvds that Sam lent me, talking to Nikki, and basically relaxing. Mum came home and did hair and makeup, pictures were taken, boy came over, more pictures, went over to his house, more pictures, yada yada yada. Then dinner, at Morton's, where I ate cowie. *gasp* It was oh so good. That cow did not die in vain. But, yeah, then after dinner we headed off to the dance, where I proceeded to fall down on the dance floor, and the authorities suspected me of being drunk. No, I haven't had anything to drink. No, officer, I really am THAT clutzy. Ah, joy. We then wasted precious minutes walking about and telling people of our escapades and the joy of the breathalizer. (it's cool! you should try it sometime.) Hung out with Joel, that was fun. Didn't dance much after that.

So, then, around 11:15 or whatever we headed out and went home to change for afterprom. I waited until approximately 1:40 am for him to arrive at his house, change, tell his parents about the breathalizer and other excitement, and drive back. Meanwhile I enjoyed a stimulating conversation with the parental units. So, then, afterprom, which was so much fun. We did laser tag (dude! it was so awesome, it was my first time playing laser tag) and the bungee thingy and sumo wrestling and I tried to fight Cephers in the boxing ring thing (yes, I failed, I'm at peace with it), I did some boxing with that arcade game thingy, we played a couple games of skeeball, and oh the gambling. Man, he sucks at gambling, he kept losing all his money. Like, he was complaining about how he lost all his money gambling so this guy walks up and tosses us two packets of money (y'know, $2000 a piece) and so he proceeds to lose THAT money, too. I liked the roulette, I always did the same thing, it was fun, I made money.

Then (oh yes, the fun doesn't stop there children!) we decided to head out for breakfast. And, hooray, we happened to be leaving at the same time as Danny, Tara, JK, Christine, Ivey, Shivani, and the like, so we all ate at Village Inn (after discovering that IHOP doesn't open till six... boo!). So I had a chicken ranch sandwich (but of course) and thar ya go. That was prom. Oh, and, Danny should NEVER EVER stay up that late again. Seriously, he was frickin' insane. And hooray for "pellets" or whatever they ended up deciding to call the dang thing.

So, yeah, I guess I came home around 7 and fell asleep shortly thereafter, only to be woken at noon by the party my parents were hosting... "De Do Run Run" is a loud game, man. Although apparently I slept through the piano playing and screaming. Hmmm. Ah well. There were cannolis, and yellow cake, and bagels 'n' cream cheese, and daddy's special foamy coffee, so all was good. And all the people gawked at my prom pictures, as dad was able to hook up the camera to the big tv. Ok then. But whatever, it was pretty fun, three of them (Christie, Amy, and Keith) stayed till four, talking about random things and thinking up skit ideas. And then afterwards... we got to clean! Because the grandparents were to be flown in the next day.

So, monday morning I got up at five, cleaned the kitchen a bit, and dad drove me to Le Peep. I was the first one there, followed shortly thereafter by Dan and Baylee. So, yeah, the physics breakfast was quite fun, I had the "bagel sandwich". I've been eating a lot of bagels recently, I notice. I keep rereading my yearbook, too. But nevermind.

So then afterwards, IB assembly, which was quite fun. Hooray for Shivani and Danny and Joel! Erm, did anyone else get an award? Who knows. I actually rather liked the little blurb Courtney wrote for me. It involved the suspension. I had kind of forgotten that there was anything interesting about me that people could talk about. I mean, besides injokes. So that worked. And it wasn't mean either! Some of them were really quite mean. And Sean's and Srav's kinda sucked, because Brandon and Abraham were making fun of last year's lame descriptions... and in the process were lame.

So then was outside picture taking and such, and I feel kinda bad for what I did to Tiff... I shouldn't have teased her about it. She's obviously not one of the chosen few who find him attractive. Either that or she's just embarrassed about it. Either way was kind of mean. Ah, well. Mostly I was just trying to find out if they WERE a couple. Clearly not. ^.^

Yep, and then the rest of the day was spent obtaining the remaining two signatures (Gore and Cavnar) and working on photo (which STILL isn't done, by the way). Oh boy. And tomorrow I get to work on math homework, how fun.

So at three mom picked me up and we went to Chipotle to feed up before Grandma and Grandpa arrived. And mom locked herself out of the car. Yee-ap. That's right, folks. So we called my dad and munched morosely on our joint burrito. Thankfully, he was just about to leave (he was planning on coming home at 3:30! yeesh) so he easily left work and rescued us from our dire straits. We then (mom and I) walked over to cold stone while my dad ordered his chipotle (for he, too, did not want to be starving by the time G&G arrived). And cold stone is too good. I had sweet cream ice cream (aka PLAIN) with heath bar, oreo, and hot fudge mixed in. Yum. It was prolly about five bucks, but it was good. Besides, everything's expensive nowadays. But whatever, nevermind.

So then we went back home and I called nikki and then helped out with cleaning, etcetera. And then at like 5:45, when we were supposed to leave, mum discovered that she had not yet taken a shower. Oh boy. On top of that, we call the airline and discover that their plane got in twenty minutes early. What the frick?! So, yeah, that kinda sucked.

But, anyway, we got the grandparents, we went out to dinner at Carrabba's, and then we came back home and watched part of a Dr. Phil. So, it's been an eventful few days, to say the least.

And now... to bed.
