this was my favorite thundercats shirt for years, but it got too tattered to use... so i cut it up to see if i could make it wearable again.

i guess it looks okay? i am shy to wear it out... but we'll see.

cleaning my room, i took out my keepsake boxes to put some new things in, and i found my old summer camp ribbons. i loved going to summer camp!

honestly, i think this is the first memorial day i've actually done something? I can't believe i didn't take a single picture. I had too much fun observing, me thinks.

the BBQ at (e:paul) and (e:terry)'s was an awesome time! :) I was surrounded by nothing but good people. I didn't bring anything, but i became (e:hodown)'s little kitchen helper, and helped do a lot of cleaning once everyone was done eating.

It was really fun to be in the kitchen chopping and cooking away with everyone packed in there together, laughing and talking. I got to meet little Zoey and her sisters (sue me, i forgot their names, lol). How adorable and bright is that kid? It was a hoot watching their antics. I love kids. Maybe I'll interact more next time :)

I think it is officially time for me to go into hiding for the next week or so. After 7 days of full throttle, I am exhausted. I will never know how some people live like this all the time. I am way too introverted for it. I need recharge time, and i barely got it this week. But it was fun none the less.

My fingers are so bruised from frisbee. I kept slapping it instead of catching it, haha... I've never had finger bruises before? it's a weird sensation.

I could not get to sleep last night. I think i should have gone home... i had to go home to get proper shoes anyways. shoulda coulda woulda! :P

i had a great day today. i ended up working the lunch shift, then went to the bank. most of the rent is there already, so that's gonna be good. i also had a talk with april about money... seems like things will sort themselves out like i thought.

i'd like to complain less.

After that, Stevie and Michael picked me up after they left the burchfield penney. We went for dinner at Amy's Place. I got the biff sandwich and we all split veggie wet shoes. they both got lentil berry sandwiches... everything was so good! i had a lot of liquid... coffee, water, cream soda... i've peed a lot today. my tonsils were feeling swollen last night and earlier but now i feel fine?

We were having conversations about all of these transitions and such, and then stevie discovered my coffee cup and turned it towards me. what a coincidence... my life is just one big coincidence. a grand synchronized dance.
it really is weird how many seem to be happening.

we tried to find a book store to go to after, but everything was closed early? We ended up going to sweet_ness 7 for desert drinks and ended up playing a really fun game of scrabble. Soon after arriving, the storm began. it was kind of magical, the way the air felt, the music, the sound of the thunder and rain, the dim lighting, the feeling of closeness with my friends... I live for those small moments of magic. They make me feel human again.

Brandy is coming, soon. She comes the 6 - 10? of june. I can't wait to have her near again. We always resume right where we left off. Much fun will be had. If possible, i will take her to that soul night event. i had an unbelievable amount of fun the last time i went. i have to go to this one. i missed the other ones.

when i got home, i sat on the porch, watching the storm. it was nice.

went to an Edm event last night. it was kind of terrible, but we managed to make it fun anyways.
