The Night That Didn't Exist

Last night was not, in fact, real. It was entirely surreal. The day itself started out normally enough. I went to Borders with my dad and then we went to lunch. This is our only "bonding" time I guess you could say, because we both like books and italian food. So that was all good, getting stocked up on books that I want to read before school starts and everything. Then I got home, changed, and went to 5 o'clock mass with Lindsay where Joe was playing the piano. Mass was craziness, because all of a sudden Father Walter broke into song and when it was over everyone started clapping for him because he won't be at St. Joe's for very much longer. It was nice though, and we didn't talk at all during the readings or homily. Afterward, James came to pick up Lindsay to go on their date. Joe and I weren't really going to follow them, even though we were pretending that we would, so we went to Dierbergs and randomly bought posterboard and markers and stuff (for no reason, I promise. We were NOT going to make posters to put on James' car). So while we were at Dierbergs, we got two calls, one from James and one from Tony. Tony was at the mall with Danielle Conley (who is so so nice) and we were going to go there, but first we went to meet James and Lindsay (on their date at Applebee's, no less) because Sara Stockdale was working there. I won't go into that, but we went there and sat at a table about 5 feet from James and Lindsay and talked to the Dominic people that worked there. It was crazy, half the time we sat there and laughed about how weird the evening was going. At one point, Mike Sexauer dropped a dish of honey mustard sauce and it flew all over a chair and the floor. They cleaned up the sauce mostly by rubbing it into the carpet and wiping it with napkins. Then, some poor family came in and sat at that table and some man sat on the chair that had had the sauce on it. YUMMY. And our waiter was crazy psycho, he laughed because I ordered chocolate cake with fudge sauce instead of a meal. So after Applebee's, we go and meet Tony and Danielle at the mall. We went to Borders (my second trip there in a day) where Joe bought the Nightmare before Christmas soundtrack. We then walked around for awhile, bought strawberry banana flavored gumballs, almost got locked in the Halloween shop, saw Rob and his sister...it was total craziness. Finally we decide to leave and go to Quick Trip to get hot cocoa. I got a Snickers ice cream bar, yummy. We saw more Dominic people there, and then went to my house where we made random posters that did not say James for President or anything like that. Then we went to Bedrock street, and pushed our way through the jungle to the next street, but James had left, so Joe dropped me off at my car and I drove home....again. Yeah. But the most memorable part of last night was when Joe said that his car smelled like fart, and he said that the old people who used to own his car haunt it and fart in it. Fart is the ugliest word in the world, by the way. But that was my crazy psychoness of a day. Afterwards I came home and read Teen Idol, by Meg Cabot. Everyone should read books by Meg Cabot. Yeah.
