Disclaimer: I'm warning you now, I'm writing for two days so this one could be a really, really long entry.

Yesterday was a nice day. The four of us met at my place and Lance offered to be the "chauffeur". We went to the movies first and sat in line {yes, sat; we got there like, and hour early} until they let us in the theater and then sat there for another 30 minutes before the movie started.

Harry Potter 5 was a good movie, but there was a lot missing from what was in the book. If you hadn't read the book, then yes, you would have loved the movie. But if you've read the book, there are some things that you won't like.

After the movie we headed over to Lance's house so that he could pick up a couple movies for us to watch inbetween lunch and bowling {we ended up not watching them anyway; we watched something else} When we left Lance's house, he drove up to his dad's house so that he could look for his Harry Potter books, but when he realized that he didn't have them there, he sat down and started playing around with his drums. Katie, Tiff and I were all still sitting out in the car. He did come out, but not for about 15 minutes. We asked him what he was doing and he said killing time. Bowling was at 10pm and it was only about 3:30pm.

When we left his dad's house, we finally headed out to lunch. It was decided that we go to Olive Garden, since I had never been. We wanted something like Applebee's, but not Applebee's. IHOP was suggested as was Denny's and Red Lobster, but when I told them that I had never been to Olive Garden, that's what made up the decision. The food was good. We ended up splitting the bill 4 ways and each of us paid about $15. Good food for a fairly decent price.

After lunch we all came back to my place and watched Dane Cook. We had been listening to it in the car so we decided it would be worth it to watch his stand-up. And it entertained us for a little while, but then I realized that I had wanted to go to Spencer's so that I could make a specific purchase. So when we were done watching the DVD, we piled back in the car and went back to the mall.

Once there, I went to Spencer's and bought what I had gone there for. After that Tiffany and I decided that since we had told that kiosk guy we would be back and since we were already at the mall anyway, we went to find the kiosk. His face lit up when he saw us back there with definate intent on a purchase. I'm not surprised though, at his reaction, since most people say they'll be back, but never end up going back. Tiffany bought some baby oil stuff with Vitamin E in it since its good for your skin and the whole bottle would last at least 5 months. I got suckered in and ended up buying some pretty colored bath salts in a glass container for my sister.

Once we were done at the mall, we came back to my place again to watch more of the DVD and rest for a bit before bowling. Around 9:45pm, Katie announced that she was beat from the day and was going to go home and sleep instead of go bowling with us. It was a little sad, but I was alright with it. I've gone bowling with Tiffany and Lance before so I knew it would be fun even without Katie there. So I said my goodbye to Katie and about 5 minutes later, the 3 of us remaining left to the bowling alley.

Bowling was fun. I haven't been bowling since back in September when I went bowling with people from work. It was $10 for unlimited games in the three hour time frame they gave you and that included shoe rental. We played 4 games altogether and decided to leave around midnight. I won the 1st and 3rd game with 102 and 105, respectively. Tiffany won the 2nd game {I don't remember her score} and Lance won the last game with 114.

We left the bowling alley and headed over the hotel that my mom and sister are staying at so that I could pick up my laptop. I had let them borrow it for the day so that they would have something to do if they decided to stay in. I introduced Tiffany and Lance to my mom and sister. We talked for a minute and then the three of us came back to my place. We finished watching the second Dane Cook DVD I had and then I walked them down to their cars.

The plan was for them to leave at around 1am, but Lance didn't leave until just after 2 and Tiff ended up staying till around 3. I came back upstairs and had just about given up hoping that Stuart would come over, when he knocked on my door at 3:20am.

He was here until just after 6am so I ended up not going to sleep until around 6:30am. I was supposed to be up at 9, but apparently I was just so tired that I slept through my alarm {it automatically shuts off after 5 minutes} and didn't wake up till quarter till noon. I called my mom to let her know that I was up and it was okay for her to bring my sister over so that she and I would be able to pack up my apartment.

She came over around 1pm and we started to work. Around 6ish my mom, Jean and Steve came over to pick my sister and I up so that we could go over to my old work since I promised them dinner from there. My sister and I got a cheese calzone and the other three got spaghetti. It was tasty and I was able to say goodbye to a couple other people. My mom dropped us back off at my apartment so that we could finish up for the night. After we got most of the packing done she tackled the task of cleaning my bathroom and I attacked my kitchen.

We're done for the night though. My sister went back to the hotel with my mom and we're going to finish packing up the minivan in the morning. The things that are going in the pickup truck are already gone from my apartment. I still need to do last minute packing, such as my suitcase, but other than that, I'm pretty much done. I'm not bringing any of my furnature, except the small side table/dresser thing that my TV was sitting on.

Alright, this is the longest entry that I've written in probably two years, but I'm writing about yesterday and today. With that being said, I'm off to take a shower. I'm in desperate need of one .... well, maybe not desperate, but I haven't taken a shower since yesterday morning and from working all day, I feel gross. And my legs are really sore from using them to carry stuff down three flights of stairs so I'm hoping the hot water will loosen them up a little. I shall write at some point tomorrow. Probably from on the road or when I arrive in Las Vegas.

BTW, the specific items that I bought from Spencer's are tongue rings. One that vibrates {this one is specifically for the guys ... and Stuart loved it} and a set of 5 tongue rings that are referred to as French ticklers. They have plastic/rubber spiked balls on the top that are supposed to tickle when used a certain way.

Err.... I'm glad you got to see Stuart...

[My mind has been even more tainted by the last paragraph. :S]

It was long, but the splitting-it-up-into-segments helped a lot. What's really horrible is when people just mash everything together...

The Olive Garden is my favorite place to eat. Red Lobster is good but Justin don't like it so we hardly ever go there. I don't think I could have carried stuff down 3 flights of stairs, lol. My legs would probably given out on my after the 2nd-3rd trip. I don't have my tongue pierced but I've never seen a vibrating ring or a French tickler. haha

Ewww.. to - NO


NO I CANT WRITE A COMMENT BECAUSE YOUR EYES ARE CHASING MY CURSOR AND ICAN'T LET THEM CATCH ME..

Grr..

Anyway

Tongue rings? Pain. Then again, so is bowling. And Dane Cook.

You're just a glutton for punishment.

Easy solution for the eyes:
Use Netscape ;-) Or just hide your cursor somewhere off the screen.

Yeah I heard a lot has changed in the movie...but when you think about it that's almost necessary. First of all, the book was really long. And movies are meant to be watched, so if certain parts need to be eliminated for a better show, than I'm all for it. I don't remember much of the 5th book anyway so I don't think it'll matter...

Haha I can only do good with bumpers. I never use them but it must be a psychological thing because I always fail when they're not there. I will admit to having tried the classic ricochet though, those are always fun. Haha I know it's sad, but my forearm and thumb are always sore after bowling...

Dane Cook is kind of hit or miss for me. The first time I saw him was at my friend's cabin, sitting on the couch because I had a stomach ache and couldn't do much else. Some of it's funny, some of it...eh. Anyways, I'm surprised you haven't been to Olive Garden. I love that place, especially the breadsticks, although they can get a little salty sometimes. My family used to go to Red Lobster a lot when I was younger but I don't know why we stopped...I've never been to IHOP though, which is as equally sad as the bumpers -_- We might've stopped in there to use the bathroom but that's about it....I'm too uncultured.

Haha I don't trust those oils and salts or whatever. They try and make everything sound all exotic or "all natural," but seriously how different is it from just plain soap / lotion. I once went into Bath and Body Works for my mom...I don't think I've seen smelled that many fragrances before in my life.

Haha sorry I'm having another imature child moment similar to Randy's. The last line is just phrased too...awkwardly lol. "Rubber...supposed to tickle when used in a certain way..." Yeah I need to grow up, whatever ;-) I should probably finish this up so it doesn't get longer. Randy will probably yell at me as it is lol so I guess it doens't matter.

Peace
