Surprise!

The whole weekend I was at home, Xab was acting weird. Mentioning strange things like "You need to be back by 1:00 so we should leave early" or "Don't eat too much, you'll ruin your appetite." And he was calling my roommates, having vague conversations with them. I'm not as unobservant as I make myself appear but I knew something was going on. I just tried to play dumb with Xab though since he wasn't doing too much of a good job hiding their little conspiracy.

Anyway, I unlock the door to the apartment and open it really quickly to throw off their timing even though I really didn't have an idea of what was going, except that something was up. There were streamers across the ceiling and a few seconds later, "Surprise!" and out pops about ten of my friends. I didn't even know I had ten friends.

I had a mix reaction. I just stood there while a camera flashed, trying to figure out why there was so many people, if I was the wrong person to walk in, and thinking "crap." Because my birthday passed a month ago and it really wasn't fair that they went so far just for me. I felt really undeserving of it all. But grateful, as well. I never thought I would have a surprise party for myself.

Afterwards, we brought out the cake and the apple cider with champagne glasses. It was the closest we could get to being underage and nonalcohalics. The whole party and their thoughtfulness made me feel really good. I feel loved.

Homesick

It's been kinda fun being home. Almost regretting that it's only for the weekend. My parents are odd. But then again, who's parents aren't. I went grocery shopping with Xab and my dad wanted me to buy lumpia wrappers. Who would have thought that he needed 300 lumpia wrappers.

Afterwards we went shopping for clothes because it's I've noticed that I only have about three shirts that I really use. Instead of buying overpriced junior shirts with stupid sayings on them I bought plain, colored boys tees that are cheaper and without the retarded phrases. The paint on those shirts really isn't worth the extra $10.
