Update!

Oui...tis been a very long time since I have last updated. A lot of things have happened at least... The quick story is that I had my birthday party (the first actual birthday party I've had in years), started moving into my dorm, and spent almost five hundred dollars on stuff...For the more detailed version I suppose I'll start on my birthday party, as I probably have the most to say about it and it is chronologically the most interesting thing that has happened. It was also the reason why I haven't posted in so long...I have been too busy working out the details to really post anything intelligent. Anyways...I got a group of people together for last Monday(the 18th) The group consisted of David, Matt, Travis, TJ, Darren, Joel, Chuck and Cassie. The plan was to meet at a pizza place, have everyone pool their money and we would have pizza and soda, then on to the bowling ally for cheap bowling. The actual evening turned out a little different of course...I started off the day prolly around noon by actually waking up and dragging myself out of bed. I called and made sure everyone was good with the times and rides and such then began getting myself ready by taking a two hour long bath(I had a really good book to read) and then doing my hair and stuff. David got off work at four and was supposed to go over to Matts house and help Matt make my present- he was gonna make a mix CD and wanted David to 'discreetly' find out about ten of my favorite songs. I guess their plans didn't exactly work out, so they gave up on that and left to get gas, pick me up and head to the pizza place at about eight thirty. Around seven thirty David called saying that he was about twenty cars back in a gas line, and things didn't look like they were gonna be moving very quickly. They ended up picking me up a little after nine(and by this time I looked absolutely fantastic) and we went on to the pizza place. Unfortunately, the pizza place closed at nine. Luckily the manager didn't seem to mind waiting, so everyone was still there when we got there, along with all the presents they bought me! Joel gave me a card, Joel and Chuck filled up a birthday bag with lots and LOTS of candy, a couple of mini card decks, some bubbles and did I mention candy? and Cassi gave me a watercolor set wrapped in a feather boa. All in all pretty cool stuff, and it was a really neat surprise to walk in and have a bunch of people give me stuff :) So after the pizza place we headed off to the bowling ally for the Monday night special- dollar shoe rentals, games, sodas, and pretty much everything else. Only little snare in that was that we had to wait an hour and a half for our lanes. We went to the arcade at Golfland to pass some of the time, but we got there just a little before they closed so we ended up just passing the time at the bowling ally until our lanes came up. I mostly just stuck close to David and talked to him because I hadn't seen him since the Saturday before my actual b-day. The bowling was fun, and about halfway through David and I were holding hands, and he even kissed me, though no one noticed then. After the bowling ally closed we decided to head over to the hookah lounge. No one noticed me and David at the bowling ally, but they sure noticed us there. We were all sitting in a circle and Joel started some thing where you take a hit off the hookah and blow the smoke onto the hand of the person next to you. When the hookah came around to David he took a hit, but instead of blowing the smoke onto my hand he kissed me! The reaction was pretty funny- I'm pretty sure no one really expected it. We didn't get too many more chances to make out that night till he brought me home though, and about that I'll just say I might have to throw away part of my feather boa...Anyways, I'd have to say my party was a success. Didn't go quite according to plans, but it worked out in the end. Now, on to other things. The next morning, Mom made me get up at seven forty two so we could go down to ASU and check into my dorm. I got my room key and claimed my bed, but I decided to stay out here for the rest of the week. I also got my financial aide money so last night and ALL of today was dedicated to getting the things I need for school. We got a coffee maker, a microwave, some organizing cubes, school supplies, a blow dryer, some more shampoo, a haircut, and many many many clothes. I have to say I have never bought as many clothes at one time as I did today. I got three pairs of pants, a long denim skirt and about ten different shirts to go with them and the few clothes I have already and a bathrobe. The only clothes type things I need now are a pair of leather sandals and a pair of flip flops. Tomorrow I will move into the dorm for good. I have to say I am a little worried, but mostly I am excited, so wish me luck!
