Real - Unreal - Surreal - <3?!
Dec. 31st, 2008 12:32 amI had this weird moment today where I wondered if this is all real and where it all came from and when it's all going to end.
Day after Christmas I worked. Day after that I worked too. All day and all night, both jobs. Yay me. Saturday night I stayed up drinking with my cousins out in their yard with a fire going ant all, and then Sunday we went to the diner for breakfast, and then B was back from NY and informed me we were going on a "South Jersey" date and presented me with a list of possible activities and said we could do as many as I wanted as long as we were done by four (football game, you see). We went to the wildlife preserve and took some pictures with his digital camera - it was a gorgeous warm day but it was kind of overcast to start out, which made for good pictures. I wasn't convinced that hanging around out on the little bridges they build over the marshes was that great of an idea, but it was kinda cool. Very quiet and it was a perfect day for it. Then we went to the park - the first time we went to the park because I said I wanted to see the castle, and I remember totally freaking him out by climbing the geodesic-dome-jungle-gym-thing. I can climb certain things, like dome-shaped jungle gyms and step ladders, and it always freaks out anyone who watches - and we sat on the jungle gym and swang on the swings a little. Then we raced go-carts at the go-cart track - I can drive a go-cart too but can't really control the speed. So... I got to be reckless as hell, and that was a blast. To the mini-golf suggestion I said maybe another time. To the batting cage suggestion I said no way, I've got no confidence whatsoever in my bat-swinging talents. I did agree to ski-ball at the arcade, and made the obligatory Kevin Smith film comment.
I still don't think New Jersey is a fun place to be, but we had a good time. At four, of course, was the football game, which I tried to bail out on, because I don't follow football, but B convinced me to stay, and so I saw a very pathetic game of football where the Eagles (who, I guess technically are my team) uncharacteristically didn't suck, and the Cowboys sucked really bad. Monday night after work we went to karaoke with Ryan and a bunch of other people, and I rocked out to Madonna, and you know what? I didn't notice my life was so much fun!
I think it's all because my cousins are here. When they leave again things will go back to normal. But for now, I'm taking full advantage of this!
