whew, it's been too long
08/18/01 ~ 9:38 a.m.
i'm baaaaack! i took ned to the airport this morning. so it will take me awhile to catch up on all of your lives, but at least i can bring you guys back up to speed with mine.
well, as is customary, i'll give you all a quick rundown of the missed time. i'll be brief, i promise.
so saturday night, i was pissed. ned didn't call me all day and he finally got home at 11:30, having no idea i was going to be mad. i kept my attitude up, and we went to sleep kinda mad.
sunday
we woke up and all drove down to great america. me, jenny, mike, ned, heather, and travers. we met up with ned's mom and hit the rides. we took cute pictures, too. when ned gets home and gets them on his computer, i'll show you all. so all is going well, i'm in a good mood, and then ned drops the bombshell that he is planning on spending ANOTHER night with samantha, to see a friend from modesto he hasn't seen in a while. THAT NIGHT. he waited until we were AT great america, that day, to tell me. he said he didn't want to make me more mad the night before. ooooh, i was pissed all over again. so i was bitchy for part of the day at great america, which i hated. i could not believe how inconsiderate he was being. i understand he wants to see his friends, which is cool and all, but to not even ask and expect me to drive him up there? he's got nerve. so i decided to just go with him and stay the night too. his other friend was nice, a cute girl who is very athletic and has a spunky personality. so whatever. sam just got on my nerves though, like usual. i drank too many mountain dews trying to stay awake and got all jittery. we stayed up till 3 am watching movies and seeing all his friends. ned and i shared a matress together in the middle of the floor and i couldn't sleep. i kept waking up in a cold sweat, shivering. i was miserable.
monday
we woke up, sam made us some stupid breakfast thing that i couldn't eat cuz i still felt like shit, and the 4 of us went miniture golfing. i actually had fun doing that. we finally left them at about 2 and came home. i was exhausted and wanted a nap. ned didn't. so we messed around a bit and it put HIM to sleep and then i couldn't sleep. i went out in the living room and called jenny and ranted. then ned got up and carly came over with her boyfriend. heather and travers were there too. we all helped cook a spaghetti dinner and had a nice time.
tuesday
we went to the jelly belly factory (and they were OUT of belly flops! so sad!) and watched kubrick films the rest of the day. then we had thai food with mike and jenny. good stuff.
wednesday
we went rafting on the american river. we brought our own raft and parked 2 cars. we ended up rafting for a little over 5 hours. we parked that car down bout twice as far as the rental companies have you go. it was a VERY fun trip. ned got sooooo sunburned. when he gets his pictures up, i'll have one to show you. then we watched a movie and had hamburgers with mike and jenny.
thursday
we had lunch at an indian restaurant with mike and jenny. then we finished our kubrick marathon. ned and i have seen all 11 films directed by stanley kubrick (that have been released). we kick ass. i then cooked a fancy dinner of spinich stuffed pork tenderloins, salad, and herb roasted potatoes. i was very proud of myself.i'm a chef!
friday
mike, jenny, ned and i went to the california state fair. it was the first day of it being open. it was friggin' HOT and my legs got tired really fast. we looked at tons of booths and animals and ate fair food (egg roll on a stick! corn dogs! kettle corn! yay!). we wanted to ride elephants but couldn't find them. we didn't ride any rides, which was weird. we're getting old. ned and i came home and went swimming with heather. then we watched the simpsons and mike came over to say his last goodbyes to ned. ned and i headed out to his mom's house and got dinner at red robin on the way. we went to bed at 11 and i wanted to stay up all night (we had to get up at 5:30) but he made us sleep. then i took him to the airport this morning.
i'm sad, but fine. 2 straight weeks of him could drive anyone crazy. i love having him here, but staying with me, the 24/7 thing, is a little much sometimes. we don't usually fight like we did last weekend and i hated it. i hated him letting me down.
but we parted on good terms, and i'm going there for thanksgiving. so all's well that ends well!
