Why am I always so lazy about updating this thing? Now I have a lot to say. Friday I went to Indy to see Social Distortion. I don't remember the last time I had so much fun. Between "Choice" on the radio for the drive up and Jessie's rant about how much she "fucking hates obese people" on the way home, I never stopped smiling. We had a chance meeting of the official Brian Haulter Ex-Girlfriend Club in front of the Murrat (me being a member since technically I was his ex for about 2 months or so). It's funny how no matter how far you drive you can still see the same damn people. The best part though was that it was such a good night I never felt uncomfortable once. I've pretty much realized that Jessie is my best friend, so I can't imagine ever feeling uncomfortable around her anyway. She's one of those people that now that we're friends it's hard to believe there was ever a time that we weren't. Saturday I went to Brian's Halloween party. The turnout wasn't quite what we'd hoped for, but there were some good costumes that showed up. I wish I'd had my camera. Daryl stood behind "Grandpa's Bar" in the den with a single beam of light shining down on his horned head. It was pretty fucking creepy looking, and we all loved it. Brian and I fell asleep kind of early (if you count the hour we lost on the clocks), and everyone else headed off to the Lava House party. Sunday was fun. We got up early, and went to Bob Evan's for breakfast and to share the paper. Then we went to Oxmoor Mall and did a little window shopping. When I go to the Disney Store I always freak out because I want to buy my nephew EVERYTHING! He's four years old, and if I thought my sister would let me take him home and raise him for my own, I would do it. Nathan gives me hope that having children is going to be fun someday. I'm crazy about this kid. It's cliche, but I didn't know I could love someone so much. I guess when I have my own kid(s) my heart is going to explode! Monday was a busy day for me. I had a ton of work to do, since my end of month paperwork was due, and a client had a job interview. After that I raced home to practice on my own a little before I had band practice. Practice was awesome. I am so happy to be playing in a band again. I'm using all of this excitement to drive myself to work harder. Tuesday was a blah day at work, but after work I went over to my parents' house to go through all of these old, wonderful pictures from my paternal grandparents. The best part was my parents said I could have all the ones I wanted. My favorites are the ones of my grandparents when they first started dating and of my dad when he was a teenager. My dad was flippin' hot! In the 60's he looked just like Ringo Starr, but in the 70's he grew out a mustache and his hair which made him look like George Harrison. It's obvious from these pictures that my dad loved the Beatles. My mom, being ten years younger than my dad, wasn't born until the 60's, so she thinks my dad looks like a total geek. I found one picture of my mom from the 80's where she had total Farrah Fawcett hair, so she doesn't have much room to talk. After the nostalgia fest with my parents I went over to Brian's to watch the election with the Meredith guys. Joe kept trying to make fifty cent bets on who was going to take which state. The problem was that he kept changing his tune if he got one wrong, so it seemed like someone owed him fifty cents all night. It was looking grim for a spell, so Mark put on the wig and crazy glasses. That cheered us up for a while. Yesterday I was a total bum. I slept until 11 or so, and then lounged around the house with Jesse and Kara. Jesse wears these umbro soccer shorts that make me laugh every time. The three of us had a lovely lunch at the Chinese Buffet. We all talked so much that we barely ate! When Brian got home from work we went shopping so we could watch each other shop to get Christmas present ideas. Then we went to the Onion Tea House for dinner. Brian bought the DVD of the Beatles first trip to America, so we came home and watched that with Jesse and Jonathan. Well, I guess that finally brings us to today. I really need to try to write a little something everyday, so I don't have to write a novel all at once about my week. On a final note, The Incredibles opens this weekend, and I can't wait to see it! Maybe I'll see you there. Good day!
