| Terrell keeps bugging me about writing more in my entries so I'll try and be more descriptive this time. Wednesday I went to the bookstore about a job and although I got it, I also found out that it only pays minimum wage, so I picked up an application to a seafood restaurant down the street from my new house. I had been planning on going with Richelle and the gang home but got a last minute call from David asking me to go with him because he didn't want to make the drive alone. Because of holiday traffic we spent five and a half hours trapped in a car together and I think we spent 80% of it yelling at each other. He claims he doesn't fight with anyone else except me, but I find that hard to believe considering how irritating he is. I just get bored too easily and since I dated him I know all his buttons and how to bug the hell out of him the most so it's amusing for me. It gave me something to do at least, although I may have gone too far since at one point he pulled off the side of the road and told me to get out. It would have sounded a little more intimidating if he could stop laughing as he said it. That's just how we get along and as weird as it is it made the long ass ride down there not too bad. We didn't get to my house until almost 7:30 so I just spent the night in hanging out with the folks. Thursday morning my mom came into my room at 9 am and started jumping on my bed in order to get me up for the Thanksgiving parade, because apparently there is nothing more important than all of us watching it every single damn year. We called up to the family in Ohio and got some really bad news, which I already posted about. We went down to my Grandpa's for Thanksgiving dinner which is always great. I love that at everyone one of his holiday dinner parties there's anywhere from 10-30 people and they're all people we've known and loved our entire lives. Friday morning was another rude wake up, my mom actually wrestled the covers away from me and threw the ferrets on top of me. Thus I got up bright and early for Black Friday shopping. It was very unproductive - in six hours we had bought more presents for the dog than anyone else. Jenn called me wanting to see a last minute movie and go out. Much thanks to Glenn for letting us skip the ridiculous line. Bridget Jones was very cute, I liked it. Danielle Harder and Richelle - both of who couldn't make the movie because of how late I called (what can I say, I'm lazy) - called me while I was in the movie. After Jenn and I grabbed some dinner we met up with the ole' gang to create our own little party. Saturday some of us met up for lunch, Dean Anthony's has the best pizza. Jenn went to work and I went home to hang out for a bit. I got my first motorcycle lesson! While coming home from the store he pulled off inside the neighborhood and told me to take the bike. He used to do this occasionally to teach me how to drive, just randomly tell me to take the wheel. I loved how it felt sitting there holding the whole weight of the bike. He walked me through putting it in neutral and explaining the gears to me (keep in mind I still don't know how to even drive a stick shift car.) However he happened to tell me how to put it into first gear before he told me how to stop so I was slowing going down the road without knowing how to stop it and not even daring to put it in a higher gear. I suddenly remembered him mentioning once that the brakes were on the right so I managed to brake it smoothly but forgot to pull in the clutch so it stalled. I had been handling the weight just fine before but the sudden stop of it stalling threw me off balance and I couldn't catch the weight quick enough so I spilled over. I didn't get hurt but the mirror cracked off the bike. Dad didn't care about the mirror, said it was easy to bolt back on but I felt terrible. I didn't care that I fell, quite honestly I expected to, but I couldn't stand doing anything to his bike. Sat night the whole family went out to for dinner and a movie together so I finally got to see the Incredibles. It wasn't what I was expecting but it was very cute, I liked it. Jill had called me about a reunion party she was having at her house so I went straight over there. I can't believe it's been so long since I've seen her, and it was so great to see her and everyone. Even Mike was there from MSOA. He's apparently come out of the punk phase, he didn't have any of his piercings anymore. Robin was there too, I miss hanging out with him. He's going to be up here in middle January for a tennis tournament so we'll get to go out for a night or two. Andres came, which was completely awkward and I wanted to shoot myself. I got to meet Jill's new boyfriend, he's a real cutie, although he was a little too drunk to determine the kind of guy he is. Oh well, Jill has good judgement so I trust that he's a good one. Sunday I watched a movie with my mommy, then we went out for - what else - some more last minute shopping. Richelle picked me up at 2 and we hit the road. At 10pm I finally walked into my dorm. I don't want to go into yet another rant about it, but what should have been a three and a half hour drive turned into eight goddamn hours. The girls made a date to work out at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Who wants to take the bet of us actually making it there? |
