Well, my *plan* for this evening was to do a
bunch of work on the web site, but now I'm really tired and
my throat hurts so I'm going to go read instead. Then go to
bed. I actually did sit down at my computer with the intent
to get started, but instead I spent some time choosing and
purchasing a plane ticket to LA!! Yay! I'm going to visit my
friend Jason in August! That'll be awesome. So the least I
can do tonight is add a little to my journal.
This was a pretty full weekend! Anne and Tim came down! Friday
night, three bands played at Ellis Hall, OU's English building.
It was weird seeing bands there because I had so many classes
there in college! Tim's Band, "In the Black Hearts of
Men" played their first show ever. It was awesome. Their
friends' band, Denovo, played too, and they were great too!
They all stayed at my house, along with two of their friends
and of course, Anne and Tim! So I got to have another fun filled
weekend of guests! Everybody LOVED Emma, which was great. I'm
sure they loved Charlie too, but he just wasn't putting in
as much of an effort to be cute this weekend.
After the show,
we all went to The Union. They had new drinks - The Lemonbomb
and the Chandra. They're the same drink, except the Chandra
is drink-size and the Lemonbomb is shot-size. They had TONS
of lemon in them!
Since I loooove lemon, these were the perfect drinks for
me. They were so sour! The funny thing is that by the end
of the
night, they had to take down the "Try a Lemonbomb!" signs,
because they ran out of lemons!
After The Union, we went to an afterhours party. We hung out
on the porch for awhile, then played around in the kitchen.
The next morning we all headed uptown for lunch, then ate it
on the college green. When we were finished eating we went
cd shopping. We were hanging around outside the cd store, and
for some reason (a
bike race? maybe?) ALL the parking spots on court
street and union street had those yellow plastic "NO PARKING"
bags over them. Well, this tough biker in leather pants
with fringe, a leather vest, tattoos, sunglasses, etc...
pulled into a spot, RIPPED the no parking bag off the
meter, and went into The Duplication Station (a place
you go to photocopy stuff)!!!
Then he came back outside when he was done,
got on his bike and sped off!! It was totally tough.
He didn't put the bag back either, but I guess I
wouldn't really expect him to.
At this point Denovo
had to take off to get the van they rented back to
Columbus in time, so the rest of us headed to The
Front Room. There, I played Ice Hockey with Anne,
on the patio. Ice Hockey is a game I made up freshman
year of college. You sit on the wall of the patio, and
try to spit ice cubes into the hole in the grates on
the sidewalk that trees grow out of. Before I go any
further, I think a diagram is necessary:
There, hopefully the game makes more sense now! Anyway, if
you spit an ice cube directly into the hole, you get five points,
and if it hits the ground and slides into the hole you get
2 points. This game rules, and I was always the reigning champion,
but Anne beat me!!! It sucked. Luckily, the guy I usually play,
Adam Goldman, showed up and so I got to play him and beat him.
He still has never beat me! BWA HA HA! So that was fun as usual.
The bad thing is that we got sunburned pretty badly while we
were there. It didn't show up for a few hours though.
Anne
and I went to the Lake and laid out for awhile afterwards,
but we put plenty of sunscreen on. But after a few hours
the sunburns we got at the Front Room really began to surface.
OWWW. Mine still hurts. When we got back to my apartment,
Adam
had mowed the yard and set up the patio furniture and got
out the grill! My parents just got a new gas grill so they
gave
us their old one. YES!!! And THEN.... sorry! To be continued.
I thought I could make it but I can't. I'm WAY too tired
and my throat hurts so I should go to bed so I'm not sick all
day
tomorrow. Anyway, more on the BBQ soon! Hopefully tomorrow!
I'm not even going to proofread this, so I'm sorry for any
mistakes!
