Coolest Party Ever!

Saturday, October 20th 2007, Wake up time: 6:15am


Why did I get up so early on a saturday?! Well, I had a good reason! It was time for my PSATs...o joy! I had some rice crispies to get my energy up before setting off for school. PSATs were just some practice tests in English and Maths, but it still took two hours out of my day! I didn't plan to do the proper PSATs but I wanted to see how I'd do without much practice. I got them over and done with, they weren't terribly hard...mainly consisting of multiple choice. 


I walked home with Anna, Jenny and Autumn, some girls I became close friends with who were in the grade below. They were actually the people I said goodbye to last...odd how these things turn out. I got home, and called Gracie. We actually planned to meet up later that afternoon, she said she'd call me back and let me know what was happening.  I decided to get on some chores to pass the time and more importantly, earn some money! I got my laundry out of the drier and cleaned up the kitchen. I then raked the garden for two hours, which only got my $7.50! In fairness, I'd been sneaky and tried to take longer doing a job which should really only have taken me half n' hour ;). 


After I was finished, Danielle called and I was invited to go to her birthday party! I was a little worried about cancelling on Gracie, but then Gracie called and said she was grounded anyway. I was psyched too, because Danielle had got a limo to take her to the restaurant we were going too! I had never been in a limo! I finished raking and got changed and all smart for the party! 


I got to Danielle's house, where I met her brother A.J and saw Andy. Danielle's parents were so welcoming and friendly! We went and picked up her boyfriend Hannie before coming back for the limo! I also met Danielle's friends Jenn, Emily and Fiona, who were all lovely people. The limo had arrived! We all piled in...and each had plenty of room! I amused people by choosing to watch Disney's Hercules on A.J's I-Phone! 


We arrived at the restaurant, a lovely Italian that Danielle's father owned. It was delicious! I had some mozzarella marconi and some chicken with pasta and brocolli. I made everyone laugh by doing something rather odd. Danielle had ordered some calamari for starters (or squid). I picked up one with a fork and did an impression of Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean...don't ask! (Though, it was very, very good).


We headed back to Danielle's, dropping Jenn off first which gave us more time in the limo! We got back to Danielle's, where I met her dad. I should explain her parents are divorced, so I met her mum and step-dad earlier. In case you were confused! We had some pumpkin ice-cream while just hanging out. There was the birthday cake of course and some fortune cookies! Being weird, I wrote down all the fortunes I got...


- Avoid the opposite sex!
- Vacation can wait, stick to the project until the end...
- The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.


Honestly, are they high when they write these? We then watched Danielle open her presents! I hadn't got her one, purely because I had no idea that I was going to the party! I promised I'd get her one, despite her saying that I don't need to worry. Hannie gave me a lift home, and we briefly talked about possibly double dating, him and Danielle, Jenn and I! However, this never came about ha. He did become a very, very good friend over the next months, but we sort of just stopped talking properly after a little while. It's one of the few things I've truly regretted. Alas. I arrived home, it being quite late due to how long the party went on, I headed straight to bed...but not before hearing the good news. It had been the sixth play off game, arguably the tensest one! If the Sox won, we had a very good chance to get to the series...but if the Cleveland Indians won, it was over. But the Sox won, by a fantastic 12-2! I was so happy I even enjoyed doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen! I'm such a good boy ;) 


Thanks for listening.
