Anny had her birthday party on Friday, and this was by far the highlight of the weekend. :-D 8 of the 10 people invited were in attendance, which was totally awesome. Many photos were taken. It was so nice having everyone in the same spot together again. Dinner was fantastic…I ordered a crapload of sushi and was only able to eat about 1/4 (at most) of what they gave me. I also took home Ben’s dinner because he barely made a dent in it and was just going to leave it there. Most of us enjoyed dessert after the meal (big fat chocolate cake…mmmm!) and then we went back to Brian and Jon’s apartment for some fun gaming. Much Warioware, Tetris, and Timesplitters 2 was experienced. Brian ducked into his room early and slept for the whole rest of the party.

A bit after midnight Will, Hiroko and Ben left, so it was just me, Peter, Dave, and Jon. Of course we decided to play drinking games then. XD I drove back to my place to get my vodka while the guys took a trip to the grocery store to get some mixers. Dave reminded us of the “correct” way to play Asshole, or some approximation of it. Futurama was on in the background for a bit but it proved to be too distracting so it got turned off. Jon went to bed a little while after that and Dave and Peter wanted to show me an episode of South Park but I fell asleep halfway through it. Dave had to be up for work the next day so he decided to leave. So Peter and I continued to drink and watch Fischerspooner visualizations until 6 AM. It was nice spending time with him again, as it’s been a really long time since that has happened. I didn’t sleep too much that night but that was okay, because I was able to nap later on.

I went rollerblading in the afternoon but there was this walleye tournament going on so my path was blocked with these people carrying nets of fish to these giant tanks. Annoying. After showering I was really tired so I watched part of The Butterfly Effect (courtesy of Dave) then napped. Jon woke me up with a phone call inviting me to dinner so I drove over there half asleep again. I really need to stop doing that, because it’s not very good. On Friday night I did just that…he woke me up with a call, and I drove over half dazed and I slammed my car door on the back of my calf (I thought my leg had cleared the door.) That hurt like a motherfarker, and still does. I don’t bruise very easily, but it’s beginning to bruise now. Owwwwwwww. In any case, we had dinner at Rocky Rococo’s (mmmmm!) and went up to Appleton. Jon convinced me to buy a UPS for my computer after saying, “What is this $40 going to mean in the grand scheme of things? Think of how much your plane ticket is! You’ve needed this for over a year!” (Over two, actually.) I had a $15 gift card anyhow so it dropped the price down even more. Brian bought me Super Smash Brothers Melee for Gamecube and Jon got me Norton antivirus (”So I can stop complaining about your antivirus software!”) We also went to Target so they could get more stuffles for the apartment. Some good finds included a shower caddy for 99 cents and…well, I guess that’s it. Once back at the apartment we watched Zoolander, which Dave had just bought and I’d never seen. Pretty damned funny stuff. XD

Sunday I rollerbladed 10 times around the path…ahhhh. :-D So great. I think I did my hips a disservice by doing that though, because they ache today. Oh well, it felt great at the time. After showering I went shopping for necessities, like toilet paper and drain unclogging stuff. I think I was able to unclog most of the drain in the bathroom sink, so that’s good. Combination of a crapload of hair and facewash, methinks. I spent a long fricken time packaging up all the items I’d sold on eBay in the last few days so I can send them out today. I’ve been doing rather well for myself with that…in a week I’ve made over $120 for a large quantity of items. So I’m getting rid of things that clutter up my life as well as making a little bit of extra money for them. Sweet. I have a ton more stuff to list, which will take a long time. But it’s worth it if someone wants the things. We both gain something…I get rid of the thing I don’t want and they get a sweet deal on something that’s in really good condition. Aside from my anal-retentive tendency to keep everything of mine in perfect condition, I am now really glad most of my things are well-preserved for the sake of selling them. I spent a considerable amount of time cleaning up my room as best as I could given the amount of crap hanging around in it. Mm. I really did NOT feel like going to bed last night so I stayed up a bit later than I should have. If a bit is 2 hours.

I’m really looking forward to tonight…my mom is baking. Mmmmm. Yummmm! :-D “You just made a yummy sound so I thought you liked the dessert!”
