senashentaFriday there was a surprise going away party for C.A. out at Jodi's parent's place; they live in the middle of nowhere. So just before 5, Ryuu picked me up and we went to Jodi's to get directions to where the party was supposed to be. Then we had to drive for about an hour to get there. OH WELL.
Pam and Kevin were already there when he arrived, along with a couple of guys from Peterborough that I didn't know until then; Jordan and Peter. Normally I have trouble talking a lot with people I don't know, but Jordan and Pete were so awesome and nice. They were about the only people there that I didn't already know that I could deal with though. >>;
Haha, everyone was late including C.A. and Jodi. xD; It was this huge secret, and we were all out in the garage waiting for them to get there for like two hours. All six of us, wtf. XDD;; Out in the garage was this cutout thing... you see them on beaches and in tourist places, the big pics with the faces cut out for people to take photos in/with? There was one in the garage that was a mountie riding a moose (and smoking a joint for some reason, lol.), so we all crowded behind that to jump out, and Kevin and Ryuu stick their faces in. Then instead of popping out right away, we just waited to see how long it would take for her to notice them.
It was funny just to listen to. She was like "...wow, that kinna looks like Kevin..." and then there was this long silence. We all sniggered and then jumped out at her. It was priceless.
After they were there, we just sat around in a circle on lawn chairs and talked, and other people drank (Ryuu and I don't drink.) Ryuu and I had brought C.A. gifts, so she opened them. She got a t-shirt from Ryuu, and I gave her a bunch of jam and a Japanese dictionary. <3
More people did come after a while, and there was about 20 in the end. Then there was a band because the lead singer/guitar was Jodi's boyfriend so she insisted. HAHA. They were really good! They only did covers, but I really enjoyed them.
I had a lot of trouble though, because of the crowded space, the number of people, the loud music and the dancing (plus because of all the above it was very hot), so I spent about half the night sitting just outside the garage, listening to the music and looking at the stars so I wouldn't end up having a huge panic attack. Pete was really nice and sat with me for a while the one time, and Ryuu and Jordan ended up outside with me later and we talked about media (movies/actors/books/etc.) for like two hours. ^_^;
The band finally packed up around 3am, and most of the people left (the ones that weren't spending the night). It was fun, and kind of stressful, and camping-parties last freaking forever. -.-;;
The ground around Jodi's parent's place is really uneven, and it was raining off-and-on all night (so no campfire! D=), so the grass was wet... and we lost power for a while. (Jodi's dad set up the generator so the band could still play!) But because of all that, I fell like fifty times. I think I managed to find all the potholes in the entire lawn. It was kind of funny, actually, because I don't even drink and I was the one falling all over the place. XD;; DOH.
Anyway, so my right ankle is all swollen and sprained, and my left knee is all cut and scraped up. Ah well, it's not so bad. Imma limp for a while, though.
Then when I finally got home I crashed... and slept for like 14 hours. Something like that. >.>;;
All in all, it was fun and I'm glad I went. I don't get to see Pam and Kevin much, and I was glad to meet Jordan and Pete, and spend time with C.A. and Ryuu. I knew I'd have trouble with the sound level and the number of people, so that at least wasn't a surprise. At least I could get out and have some fresh air to get over it, and people were nice to keep me company. :)
ANYHOW~
So that was Friday and yesterday. =D
C.A.'s gift. It was a Christmas gift, so of course it had to be in Christmas paper! I just wanted to give it to her because I won't see her at Christmas. ;~; I'm gonna miss her! I always see C.A. at Christmas and around my birthday! It won't be the same...
My knee. I suck. >>;; It bled a lot, but I didn't even do anything about it for like half an hour because I did it just as we were running to hide and surprise C.A.; Pam and Pete like grabbed me up and shoved me behind the mountie thing, and then I was too distracted to notice that I was bleeding everywhere. xD;; It didn't hurt much, though. When I did clean it up I didn't even put bandages on, I just went inside and washed the dirt and grass out of the scrapes and stuff. I took this pic yesterday, today it's all bruised too. >>;
The continuation of Day 50; this is the top shelf beside my actual bookshelves. Technically, it was originally designated as an anime shelf, but my reference books have expanded across there too. >>; Eheh... thus, my anime is all stacked and tucked all over the place. These shelves are full of knicknacks too, obviously. I bet people can see stuff they've sent me across those shelves! =3
OH, AND! Before I forget, Friday afternoon I finally mailed the last round of P.O.S. packages! So![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kierseth, cat_mcdougall, etcetera_cat, smoulderedtears and lipstickcat have big heavy boxes coming their way! But they were mailed ground mail (because they were so big and heavy... except for etc's, it's uber heavy but not as big as the others) for money reasons, so they'll take a bit to arrive. Hopefully everyone will get theirs by a month from now.
Like a week from now I also have to mail about 12 Christmas packages too. No wonder I don't have any money. >>; lol.
EDIT: YEY Johnny Depp biography~ X33
EDIT 2: Oh, and when Ryuu picked me up on Friday she gave me my present from when she went to China a few months back. "Present" and not "souvenir" because it's edible. lol. She got me pocky and pretz; dark and white chocolate pocky, and shrimp and pizza pretz. <3 Apparently it's really cheap there, like 50 cents a box. O.o;
