Her Smiling Eyes

Wednesday, June 08, 2005

I officially ended school at about 9:15am Monday morning. Huzzah!
No buses after 7th hour so I had to call the masha. She was outside staining our fence- so no dice on answering the phone. Left an eager message, and then I hung out with SLK. Miss K and I got into an interesting discussion about nationalities and where we were from. It's a shame when you get into cool conversations like that and then low and behold, the mother has arrived finally.

::Skipping frusterating, angery parts::

After my nap, I arrived at Wes's house. There were a couple of friends I knew from classes, but overall, a group I never hung out with. The newness was kind of refreshing because I had no idea what to expect- but I missed the comfort of my own group. So I was really quiet and shy because I have a crush on one of the boys (not Tim) and this was my first time hanging out with him (not Wes either). This was the first time he really talked comfortably and at his own will, if I might add. Well, damn- he opens up, I clam up. I was trying to get into the swing of my normal nature but it was such an off day. What helped was that there was this really funny kid who is oddly enough my childhood friend's cousin. Weird because that family keeps making a reoccuring appearance in my life since I moved from Waukegan at the end of 2nd grade. Some history:
-They lived down the street from me and I grew up with them (Ian, Janna, and Rico)
-I moved to Lindenhurst in like 1995 or 1996 (I can't remember)
-They moved here about 4 or 5 years after me and I didn't know it yet.
-Janna ended up being a teacher's aid for my english class in 6th grade (found out she moved around here)
-They moved again and I ended up running into Janna at a Grant football game (because she went to Grant then)
-Lost touch with them until one day one of us found each other on MySpace (of all places--damn trendy site...) and I found out she moved to Cali

Trippy. But yea, this kid Oscar was there and he is cousin's with Janna. Very funny kid. I didnt say anything about the relation, though.

Wes's house is flippin awesome- especially his basement. The boys were playing pool while the girls and I played cards. Joe busted out the records and put on "Strawberry Fields" and it was right then that I realized it was finally summer. It will forever be one of those songs that reminds me of summertime and all of it's glory. We decided to play 'Musical Stools' and when Joe would speed up the record, we go faster and so on. Stools flying everywhere- fun stuff. Then the boys played and seriously, that was about the most hilarious thing I've witnessed yet. There is something about the way boys act around each other that is always so funny.

More people began to arrive so we played Scene It, and I play that game so much or see it being played so much that it drives me crazy. Luckily, Wes found Catch-a-Phrase and we played that for a good three hours. We'd all get so excited and accidently shout out for the wrong team. That was the only way the other team got points, I swear. Some of the descriptions for words were so far fetched, it was amazing that anyone even got it. Healer = "Look, look, guys, I scratched myself!!! No, no, but it's okay... cuz I FIXED IT!"

After those three hours, the majority of the crowd left except for Ben, Heather, Alyse, Bridget, Wes, and me. We played a game of Skip-O. Ben and Heather had to leave so it was just Alyse, Bridget, Wes, and me remaining. We played a game of crochet (sp?) and I won because I had a little practice from last summer. We all wanted some icecream so we went to the Twisted Cow. Cute boy was working and he served me my chocolate cone. We were almost going to leave before I got anything to get an icecream cake at DQ but I wanted to stay loyal to the Cow and I got my icecream there. I didn't want to just go in there, buy nothing, then leave. So I went with them to DQ anyway while eating my cone and help them pick out an icecream cake. The plan was to get it and just eat it out of the box as a group. I had to pitch in $3 because they only had $5's and $10's. We had them put "Happy Birthday Jack and Jill" because it was free and we were going to play along that it was a birthday cake and even put candles on it for fun so we could all blow them out.

But before that, on our way out of DQ, we saw Peter Cimpoes! He was in my english class sophomore year and I had crush on him. He was very quiet so I would always tell him that one day we would have a elaborate conversation on something- anything that came to mind. Then in my yearbook, he wrote how we haven't had that elaborate conversation yet and how he looks forward to when we do. And when I read it, I turned around to him we started talking about our lives and so on. He is part Romanian, so I asked him if he knew how to speak it. He said 'good night' and I told him to write it in my yearbook so I could remember how to say it later. I think it was like 'Nopte buona' or something close to that. Anyway, he is really interesting! But I guess he is being homeschooled now. Lame. He is a really cool guy, though, and I am really frusterated I can't get to know him more. I don't have his number or anything--just random visits to DQ. It was really nice to see him and I'm happy he still remembers me.

We got back to Wes's house and whipped out the forks to eat the cake. I had three bites since I pitched in three dollars. I was stuffed. We watched Sleepy Hollow and then went home. It was good times.

The next day, I woke up to the telly. I picked it up too late but then my cell started ringing, so I picked that up. It was Ward and he said beach and I said I'm there. So I got my swimsuit on and all my beach gear, then I made a quick lunch. PB sammiches not good to eat in a rush. My throat got clogged and my chest hurt. So I had to use the PB Draino -- milk. I survived and I went on with life. Ward arrived at my door and asked for a blank CD.
"A blank CD?"
"Yes, Carly said she wanted a blank CD. "
"Ok..."
Deciding not to question anymore, I went downstairs and brought up a blank CD. We get into the car and Carly pops in this blank CD. She becomes confuddled on why it's not playing. Ward says duh, its a blank CD--it has nothing to play yet. Mind you, we are already approaching Grand when Carly exclaims - nooooo, I said BLINK CD.
Well, that makes a lot more sense. Blink as in Blink 182- which I also have CD's of. Funny stuff lol.

No problem, we listened to the radio for a little bit. Vanilla Ice has a new sound - and it's trippier than before. I forgot his new genre he's invented for himself, but it sounds nothing like his new song. I honestly thought Q-101 was just messing around. No dice.

Luckily, we found Tilly and The Wall. I have never been so relieved in my life! We listened to that the whole ride to Silver Lake, which was lovely music for a warm summer day. We arrived at Silver Lake and met up with Ryan and some of his friends. Tom was there which was cool because I wasn't really friends with the rest of those people besides Ryan, Ward, and Carly. Carly and I attempted to tan a little bit, but we eventually just gave up and went in the water. Tom dunked me and that was lame. I played Little Mermaid and did a dolphin impression. We tossed a football around a little bit and then I tried to dunk Tom back but instead I just hung on him like a monkey because I couldn't get him dunked. Ughh, no fair. The water was really nice and it was a very fun time. We tried sunning again and I got some color to my back and shoulders. I'm progressively getting tanner, one shade at a time lol. Damn you easy tanners...

We left around 4ish and went to Carly's. Ward and I played with Molly, who bit me twice. One was because she was licking me and then bit me. The other was when I was showing Ward how her fur sort of looked plaid because she has tiger-ish stripes, then stripes from when we ran this hair clip across her fur. I was about to point the plaid out and she whipped her head up and bit my arm. It was like a shark attack because it was so sudden! I didn't even terrorize her at all! So I decided I'd read a magazine after that instead of playing with the kitty.

Then I went home and took a little nap. I woke up and had some dinner. I realized I haven't hung out with Brendan yet this summer- so I called him. We went to Vegas and exchanged summer happenings over some fine desserts. It was happy =) This lady complimented me on my hat and that was cool. She was impressed I made it myself.
We decided we wanted to walk around rather than drive, so we walked around Main Street. We both nearly got sacked by Megggily at PML and I screamed because I was startled someone was running at us. She took us inside and we saw the cast of Rocky Horror, which was flippin' sweet might I add. Dillon was thereeeeee and he is such a sweet boy. I promised I would see his show this week. Aww, I'm excited =D

We tried to get Tim to come swimming with us when he came to join us but we realized we might wake Brendan's parents while swimming. So we decided to go to my house instead and watch a movie or play a board game. Brendan ended up not joining us but Tim and I went back to my house and watched Josie and the Pussycats. We had apples and dip. It was good times.

Today I got up really late. My dad is in Wisconsin. My mom is still home. The weather was weird today so I couldnt sun on the deck like I planned. I didn't run either, because it was storm-ish outside. I might play hackey sack later, though. And I think I will call some people to hang out. My ma just got some chinese and whooo!! Im gonna eat now.

Good day and much love to all!
