| | on wednesday we finally went to california bar and grill, even though
we swore we'd never go there after the incident two years back (they
wouldn't let us in because mike wouldn't turn 21 for a week and we
didn't have his parent or guardian with us. bah.). it was
extra super crazy full - we had to wait in line even though we had
reservations. the wings were pretty decent, I guess, but it was
way too loud and crowded in there. dunno if we will go back or
not. on the way home from steve's house that night, bobby and I
totally saw a UFO. there was this line of three white lights in
the sky, which I brought to bobby's attention. "that's totally a
UFO," I said. "really?" he replied. "it looks like a plane
to me." but it wasn't a plane. it wasn't moving. we
drove right under it, and it wasn't even very high up. and it
wasn't making any noise, so it wasn't a helicopter. it was pretty
scary. I locked my bedroom windows when I got home, as though
that would keep the aliens out. on saturday, while we were
playing d&d (I'm so cool) , steve's brother came dashing in asking
us if we heard the screaming outside. of course we all ran out
into the cold night air to hear the most unearthly screams you can
imagine. I actually cried, for serious, I was that scared.
and I don't get scared (or cry) easily. steve thought that it was
turkeys, maybe, and I thought it might be a peacock, so we didn't call
the police or anything. before you ask, we have seen peacocks
running around on the roads out that way, so it is a perfectly
reasonable explanation. yesterday I got my first ever holiday
bonus from work. I got $10 instead of a turkey, since I have no
need for a turkey. I am so unbelievably touched by this
gesture. I wonder if I will get a Christmas bonus... or
maybe even a raise... today is the day chris is supposed to die,
according to a tarot card reading he did on himself during our senior
year of high school. I am obviously very concerned about
this. he called me from work to let me know that he was still
alive, which I appreciated. he'd better stay that way
(alive), or I will chase him into the great beyond and double kill him. tomorrow
is the day before thanksgiving. I can't believe it is that time
of the year again. I had set a goal for myself that I would have
the patterns made for my assorted hand-made Christmas presents by
saturday, but I somehow don't see that happening. it is okay,
though, I can buy the fabric without patterns. everything will be
fine. we (my parents, sister, and I) usually go on a ride through
the city on thanksgiving eve, so my dad can point out things that he
used to do on thanksgiving eve when he was a kid. it seems we are
not doing that this year. I have mixed feelings about this.
I am glad because I kinda wanted to go to wings, but I am sad because
it is something that we have always done. it's like the end of an
era. we keep getting older and keep moving on with our
lives. this time of year always seems to make this more evident,
somehow. ::sigh:: and our day after thanksgiving traditions
are not going to be the same, either, as my dad has to work and will
not be joining us. it makes me want to cry, for serious. maybe I am becoming weepy in my old age.
