Dear Blog,
I began my day with getting a text from Mark asking if I was hungry and wanted breakfast. I wasn't hungry when I texted back "Yes," but I thought it'd be nice to see him since he had been gone for awhile. Actually, I thought he wouldn't be back for a much longer time, but apparently he drove in last night.
We met up at Cold Stone around 10 AM, went to IHOP, and had fun chatting about various things and being impressed by our waiter's hospitable and charismatic attitude. We made all sorts of plans while we had breakfast -- we planned to sky dive in Lake Elsinore, watch a movie (most likely Toy Story 3), stop by the beach, and drive-by watergun a friend of mine who happens to be a sign-waver. Well, we didn't sky dive today (he called and the price right now is $190 - more if you want pictures and a video), although we still plan to someday. We also didn't watch a movie (we ran out of time) or stop by a REAL beach -- y'know, ocean and all. What we did do is run all sorts of errands for Cold Stone. Then, at 4 PM, we filled water balloons and water guns, hopped into my car, and cruised down to where Reggie the Sign Waver was working. She saw us when we stopped at the stop light, smiled and shook her head. I texted her beforehand, so she would have time to put away any and all electronics, heh. I parked in the lot behind her, we got out, snuck up, and launched our balloons first. Then we fired away with our water guns, woot woot! We all got wet.
Afterward, there was a bit of a tiff between Mark and the Kaczmarskis about scheduling for today, which was eventually resolved (albeit just about everyone involved was dissatisfied one way or another, whatever), so we went our merry way to Smart & Final to pick up some food for the barbecue we had planned for tonight. Abby, Anthony, Trisha, Mark, and I went to Canyon Lake and grilled BBQ chicken and hot dogs haha. I took quite a few pictures and, although everything was on-the-go and rushed and so not planned, we still had a lot of fun.
At the moment, though, I'm full of piss and vinegar because Mom had to rain on my parade. A lot of my attitude stems from the fact that I know she's right, but some of it also stems from resentment that she's "putting her foot down now" after all these years. Yeah, whatever, so what if I'm being the unreasonable one tonight. I don't want to deal with her tonight. I was actually on the verge of blowing her off and hanging out later with my friends, but in the end I decided to come home (not that I was respectful when I came home anyways; I told her I wasn't going to talk about anything, so good night, pretty much). I need to get my shit together and move out, get away and start my own life. I'm tired.
Oh, and Mark fixed and updated a lot of things on my laptop that I'm using now to write this. I haven't been able to use the Internet on this for the past four days, so a very appreciative "Thank You" to him. Good night, Xangians.
Sincerely,
Traci
