Whew! I'm exhausted.

First, family went away and I was off to the mall to shop for Sadies crap. Matt called right before I was off to give his congrats.

At the mall, found all of the necessary items within the first... ten minutes of shopping. Ten down, 110 more to go. Went to Hot Topic and browsed (saw a shirt with Gir saying "I'm naked!"... but it was girl's cut only), followed by Anchor Blue where I witnessed an abundance of asians in the store, a cute emo guy up on front, and half the store covered in that black plastic construction sheets. The girl's side no less, so sis didn't do much browsing there. Afterwards, Waldens where no interesting books surfaced, Spencers which proved equally fruitless (although they were having an aerobics show/demonstration on the first floor), and then a brief stop over at Dillards. From there I departed my sis and mom to go to B. Dalton. Saw the new Christopher Rice book, but lacked the money to buy it. With the time winding down, I headed to our meeting/pick up point to see my dad there already. The girls were running late, so I just tried on some of the sports coats and rain coats in the area. One made me look like a french officer... and I would so have gotten it if it wasn't $150. The other half arrived about twenty minutes late, and then we were off.

Total purchases: Jovah's Angel, two pants from Anchor Blue, my blue t-shirt for Sadies, a new belt, three long-sleeved shirts.

Picked up Christine and then off to the Silver Nugget for a bowling party and bday party for Adrienne. They blindfolded her and brought her to the bowling alley where the ten of us surprised her thoroughly. People I knew who were there: Adrienne, Crystal, John, Jamie, Christine, Emmelle, me, sis, Missi. The last one being the reason for why Jyl wanted to come, but she couldn't due to... whatever reasons. So, bowling = gutter. By the third game I gave up my bowling shoes to someone else and went to play some DDR. Unfortunately, the arcade was hot, sticky, and very very disgusting. Not to mention that everyone who came in seemed only interested in playing DDR. Oh well. Came back and Adrienne started opening presents after she cut the cake. Then everyone said their goodbyes, and my family + Emmelle, Crystal, and Christine went to go catch a movie before going home.

Mothman Prophecies. Couldn't really enjoy the movie because the scenes were very redundant, and the psychotic flash-shots were used too often to be effective when they were meant to be. Not to mention that we all were whispering Chapstick at any given moment. Before the movie started, sis, Christine, and I literally jumped, skipped, and twirled into the empty theater. I dropped my glasses at one point, so I had to hold onto them while twirling.

Movie done, drove everyone home. First, Christine. Simple enough, and especially entertaining when she was discussing the late hour with her grandma in Korean. Finding Emmelle's house led us into the largest senior development in Vegas. Row after row of cookie-cutter houses, plus the atmosphere after seeing the movie, gave the entire drive a Twilight Zone quality... especially after driving down a row of houses for 5 miles. Oh lord! I didn't know suburbs could be so effing huge!

And now I'm back, sleepy, and happy.
