Okay, I gotta brag about my awesome birthday. The day before my birthday was the actual party, I went to Sakura's and then came home and opened presents and ate cake (strawberry with vanilla frostin', YUM!), then I watched videos of me when I was a kid, which was both embarassin' but interestin'. It made me see how my parents treated me, and I feel so sorry for my dad. My mom was pretty much just havin' fun and makin' sure things went well for her, while my dad was just tryin' hard to take care of me and my brother, yet he was called (even by my brother) "bad face". Anyway, I got to hear yet another nickname of mine which I didn't know about, but I refuse to say it so the people in my school won't call me by it. I could go into the details of the video, but I have a feelin' this will be long enough as it is.
Anyway, on my actual birthday I woke up around 5am (after a night of partyin') and went to the train station in Washington. Then I got kind of nervous because this was my first time travelin' alone and I had no idea what to do. My dad took me as far as he could go without needin' a ticket, and then did everythin' he could to help me out. After that I was on my own, so I just followed everyone else. I managed to get a good seat and get nice and cozy, phew. However, the overhead announcin' thingy was broken, so I had no idea where I was at when we stopped, meanin' I had no idea when to get off. This made me panic a little, but in the end I asked a person who worked there and he helped me out. However, I didn't get to ask until about an hour till I got off, and this was a 7 hour ride, so I didn't get a chance to fall asleep at all. For the first two hours I had mild motion sickness from the train jerkin' back and forth, but after relaxin' and listenin' to music I was good again. A few times I almost nodded off, but I just had to do somethin' other then listenin' to relaxin' music, to get my mind goin' again, so I watched a movie on my lap top and that recharged me. Anyway, the train ride was awesome 'cause I got to see all different types of people interactin' with one another. Since we made lots of stops, and mine was the second to last with me gettin' on on the first stop, there were lots of people gettin' up and then new people sittin' down around me. It was kind of scary when all these sick people were sittin' around me takin' medication and talkin' about another person on the train who had red eye, two ear infections, and possibly strep throat, and I got to meet this person. All these sick people were from Catholic schools who were goin' to a Catholic Convention in Harvard, so it was interestin' to listen to 'em when I wasn't off listenin' to music.
Ok, so then I figured off when to get off and got off (no duh). Breanne, the love of my life, had text messaged me to make sure I was still awake, and then we text messaged details of where to meet and stuff, so I managed to find her and her brother easily. Man, when I saw her across the train station comin' towards me I almost wet myself, it was so wonderful! So then I got in her brother's jeep and we traveled back to her house. It was really quiet and none of us said stuff.
When we got to her house I carried my luggage to her room and then got out all the stuff I brought for her and her family. I gave a lot of junky stuff and cookies, but what I really loved was finally givin' her the ring, which she wore and it was a perfect fit, WOO! Then after some sittin' around and askin' one another "I dunno, what do you wanna do?" we decided to go to a little supermarket within walkin' distance and get some food, and then watch a movie. We got chips, popcorn, pizza, and these mini bagel bite thingies. We got back and got all the food ready and watched "Hot Chick", which was funny. At this point I realized just how little my mate eats. She took about half an hour to finish the pizza thing, and after that she was full. Now, this pizza was a little thin thing, with about a 4 inch diameter, it was nothin', yet she got full. I felt kinda bad cause I had pigged out on the pizza, mini bagels, and a jumbo bag of popcorn. After that I believe we set up my air mattress, and then had a series of pillow fights, which were fun! Then we got all ready for bed and watched "Silent Hill", which freaked me out, so we watched some funny ghost huntin' thing afterwards, then we headed off to sleep.
I had some trouble sleepin' cause my mate was watchin' me the whole time, and we both ended up wakin' up way too early, even after goin' to bed at like 1:30am. Finally, my body took action and I zonked out again and had a dream about school, and when I woke up and looked over my mate was sittin' there on the floor starin' at me, which scared the crap out of me. She also took a picture of me sleepin'. She got some cereal for breakfast and after we both got dressed we went shoppin' with her parents. I made her get fruit and hot pockets and stuff, hopin' to get her to eat more. Then, after that, we went to the mall with one of her friends. I got kind of angry 'cause her friend was makin' my mate laugh more then I was, and I felt unneeded for a while. We were only at the mall for a little bit, cause we all didn't really wanna buy anythin', so we made plans to go ghost huntin' and then we left.
Back at my mate's house we watched more television and I wanted to eat these donuts I bought, but I didn't want to because my mate hadn't had anythin', so she forced herself to eat this little brownie snack so I could eat a donut, but she ended up gettin' full before she could finish. Then I decided that today I'd just eat as much as I wanted, and the next day and then on I'd eat as much as my mate, so I had another jumbo bag of popcorn, another donut, and two hot pockets. My mate had one hot pocket...
So then two of my mate's friends came over and we went ghost huntin'. First we went to a graveyard and then we went to the woods. I had a random angry moment, but I don't wanna get into that. My mate got really cold after goin' to the graveyard so we went back to the house so she could put on another pair of pants and stay warm, then we continued to the woods. In the woods my mate and I held hands, and it felt awesome (though I really couldn't feel my fingers). Then, after that whole thing, we went back to my mate's house and hung out, and had another pillow fight. Then a miracle happened, my mate got hungry, so we all pretty much threw her into the kitchen. She ended up gettin' a hot pocket...which she wasn't able to finish...
Then the two friends left and my mate and I came back into her room, where we had some more pillow fights I think. Then we snuggled and I looked into her eyes and knew what she wanted, so we kissed at 9:39pm! WOOOOO!!! After that we got ready for bed and snuggled for hours. I was scared to go to bed cause my mate kept...well...doin' stuff, and I was scared to ask what she'd do when I fell asleep, so I just sat there for a while. Eventually we were both exhausted to the point of almost passin' out, and my mate kept tryin' to get me to lie down, it was weird. Eventually I was too tired to fight it and I fell over, where I then had a series of laughin' spells where I just laughed for no apparent reason. Then, finally, we both went to sleep.
I woke up at random times through the night and into the mornin' like the night before, and we both ended up gettin' up too early again. After snugglin' some more we got dressed and went back to the supermarket, where I celebrated my turnin' 18 by gettin' scratch tickets. I won like $2, so I bought another one where I won $4, so I bought two more and won $2, so I bought another one and then lost. Over all I spent $24 on scratch tickets, and I wanted to get more but my mate managed to get me away from 'em. I'm lettin' ya, I got a bad gamblin' problem. When we got back it was almost time for me to get on the train, so we ended up snugglin' for the rest of the time. My mate lied on my tummy at one point and heard my tummy makin' weird noises.
Then we had to go, and in the car we stealthily held hands again. Then I got the train station and got confused again, but luckily my mate was allowed to go right up to where the train was so I could hug her right before gettin' on. This part was depressin', cause I really didn't want to go.
So then for the next 7 hours I was on a train, and I ended up gettin' a window seat that was facin' opposite to the direction we were goin', so that was interestin'. I ended up gettin' super drowsy multiple times on this ride, so I text messaged my mate to keep my mind goin' so I wouldn't doze off, which worked. Luckily, the announcin' thing was workin' and my stop was the last one, so I didn't have to worry at all about missin' my stop. The train got crowded at one point to where people had to stand, but near the end of the ride not that many people were there. The door to the bathroom in front of me had trouble lockin', and at one point in the ride someone opened it and a guy was in there, but luckily I was starin' out the window and didn't see anythin'. Finally I got off and had some trouble figurin' out where to go to meet my parents, but I eventually figured it out and got in the car.
Where I lived there was a sudden down pour of snow, so the roads all the way back to my house were covered in snow, so my parents were stressin' one another out and goin' about 20 miles an hour on the highway. There was one point where the road was completely ice, which was scary. Then I finally got home and got online for a few minutes, to catch up with all I missed. I then developed a really bad headache and got incredibly tired, so I finally took a shower after 3 days and then headed to bed. It was nice bein' in my own bed, but I still missed the presense of my mate, even though her starin' at me all night was kind of scary. I ended up wakin' up at 1:30am and havin' the two remainin' donuts and the rest of the popcorn and then headin' back to bed, and then I woke up around 9am and started this huge long thing.
So that was my awesome birthday trip, which I wish wasn't over. I left a few things out, but blech. I'm still worried as anythin' about how much my mate eats, she says she eats more when she's bored so I'm hopin' she gets really bored a lot. Knowin' me, I'm probably gonna end up over reactin', but I can't help it when my mate eats so little, it's not healthy...Anyway, no negativeness in this entry. That was my trip and it was the best birthday ever!
