Dave and I are finally back home from our visit to our families. We stayed with Dave’s dad for a few days, and got to see Dave’s aunt who is in chemo for liver and colon cancer. She looked like she was doing well when we saw her. After visiting with Dave’s aunt we got to go see April, since Dave’s aunt lives in the north west side of Houston. I had fun hanging out with April, she even treated me, Dave, and Ben to dinner! She got me chocolates and candy and some spiffy stuff! I was pretty excited. Dave and Ben ate all the chocolates that I liked though, I only have the gross coconut and toffee chocolates left 
I wish I coulda spent more time with my buds and stuff, but none of them except April were free. Susan pissed me off pretty bad, because I told her on Saturday that I’d be in Houston on Wednesday, Thursday, and maybe Friday night. And she never got ahold of me, I had to get ahold of her, and she was too busy with her other friends to come hang out and say “happy birthday”. And Friday it was her friend’s birthday so she was busy all night. Well fuck you too, I thought we were friends too. I had a goddamn birthday on Monday and you didn’t even send me a crappy e-card, but you spend all day with this other person on her birthday.
I am fucking tired of everyone ignoring! It really pisses me off! I’m not upset at Otis, because I know she has a full-time job and that was really short notice for her. But Susan and Leslie don’t work, or go to school, or anything! You’d think that people that are my friends could take the time out to at least stop by for five minutes and say hello when I’m in town! It is not like I live there anymore, I live five hours away!
Had to get that out of my system, sorry for the interruption.
That was Monday and on Tuesday we sealed Dave’s dad’s new fence for some monies and then chilled. It was actually pretty fun. I hadn’t done hard work in a long time and it felt good to break a sweat. That was about all we did on Tuesday I think.
Wednesday we woke up fairly early and drove up to visit my parents. They had just gotten back from a cruise in Alaska and had gotten me an’ Dave some souvenirs. They also got us a little bit of smoked salmon. We haven’t tried it yet, but I am excited. I love smoked salmon! They gave me my birthday gift also, a sappy card and some monies. And they had also bought me Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. The difference between it and the blue version is that it is on the GameBoy Advanced instead of the DS. But I think I like this version better so far. The controls on the DS version are a little weird and irritating. Anyways, they took us out to a movie and to eat, and I got to go to the dentist. My tooth started hurting like hell when I drank cold stuff on Saturday, totally out of the blue. I was worried it was a cavity, but it was apparently just torn tissue. So good news yey! It was a little stressful staying with my parents, since my mom is my mom. I got to visit with Jennifer and Megan though, which was pretty sweet. I had gotten a bottle of wine ’cause I thought we were going to be making fish tacos on Thursday, but it turns out my parents wanted me and Dave to pay for it all, so we didn’t. Wednesday night we watched The Rock and Jennifer fell asleep, so we took her home after it was over and went over to Megan’s to hang out. Megan and I had a glass of wine each and we watched most of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which had been retitled on the DVD release to Indian Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark for some reason. Anyways, we left around 0130 so she could get some sleep and go to work in the morning.
I woke up fairly early for us on Thursday, around 0930-ish. Dave woke up around 1300 though, lol. We went to Armand Bayou Nature Reserve and went on a trail walk. It was pretty fun. There were tons of Golden Orb Spiders. Tons! They were everywhere! It was pretty sweet, we even saw a deer. Afterwards we hung out with Jennifer again and ate at Applebee’s. Dave and I ordered poorly. I had the French onion soup and they brought it out and the bowl was filled to less than half way!! I was pretty irritated, but that Applebee’s isn’t very competent, I have found. After that we got some snack foods and went back to my parent’s and watched some movies and finished off the wine. We watched Die Hard 3 and I don’t remember what else. They all started blurring together for me. I got kinda tired a little early so I went up to bed around elevenish, but Dave and Jennifer were gabbing about comics and were pretty loud and my mom kept coming in to tell me alcohol is bad for your liver so I shouldn’t drink it, so I couldn’t really sleep. Dave did take Jennifer home eventually and we slept pretty good that night.
Friday morning we had to go back to Dave’s dad’s place ’cause Dave had to sign some stuff that day. I took a nap and played my Pearl game some. Dave’s dad and step mom got it for me for my birthday, it was so nice of them! I really like it too, it is really fun so far. I had lots of fun digging around the Underground last night also. Whee! Anyways, Dave and Ben and I all went out to eat with Freda and Jeff and we had a good time. We ate a newish Tex-Mex restaurant that had really spiffy food. I had a stuffed avacado, which I guess is really more Cal-Mex than Tex-Mex, but it was good either way! I also got to have a few Amaretto Sours, they were pretty good too. Afterwards we went back to my parent’s place and spent some time with them. But on the way there Dave got me some birthday gifts! He got me Leaf Green and the National Pokedex and he got himself Diamond. He said he is gonna get me more things too, I’m excited. Dave spoils me! Anyways, we went back to my parents and spent some time with them. I don’t really remember what we did, I was a little tired. Then me and Dave played our games and such until we got even more tired and fell asleep.
We took Franklin with us on our trip, and he really liked it at my parents’ place. Their cat, Kichou (my old kitty but she likes going outside and stuff so we didn’t take her) did really well with Franklin and Franklin seemed to really like having another cat around. We are (I am) thinking about getting another kitty if I get a job. I will hopefully be working at a local restaurant soon, it isn’t a job in Earth Science, but it is a job that pays money! I think I wanna take a little bit of a break, anyways, and work a job with no major responsibilities and just sort of exist for a season or two.
I forgot to take pictures with my dad’s camera, but we took some with our camera phones. If any of you know how to transfer the pictures from the phone to a computer please let me know, I want to show off my kitty! I know you can email it and stuff to yourself, but neither of us have the internet on our phones. Halps!
