chestnutcurlsI am going to California!
Yes...in June I will be going where I have not gone before, to visit![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jessecho et al. :) I talked to my parents about it on Friday night. It was not a pleasant exchange. After enduring half an hour's litany about how I couldn't possibly know this person and how no one online is who they claim to be and how mentally disturbed I was to even want to take a trip to meet somebody, I had an urge to delete my journal and never talk to any of you again, because hey, you're all actually 50-year-old pervert Jehovah's Witnesses pretending to be other people, right? :P Thankfully, they finally agreed that as long as I stayed in a hotel and was able to get around independently (translation: escape from impending doom), they would be okay with my going. But they've made it clear that I am not of sound mind. :P This sort of casts a pall over my excitement. I mean, I have this great opportunity to hang out with awesome people and accomplish two of my life goals (see San Francisco and see the Pacific). :) I don't know why this makes me a nut case.
The rest of my weekend was better. My mom and I went up to Jackson on Saturday for Debra's All-West performance, and had a great time. David Holsinger, the famous composer, conducted the Wind Ensemble (the best high school musicians in the state). Having played his pieces all through high school, I was in awe watching him. He was incredible. It made my whole month. :) Before we went home, Mums and I went a little nuts at the Dunkin' Donuts, and went shopping at Goody's, right across the street fromsalemgirl's alma mater. I got a nice skirt for 5 dollars. (I have pictures of all these things, but couldn't get them onto a disk, so I'll post them later.) When we got back, I had some of my dad's amazing chicken soup for dinner, and then went to Kathy's parents' house to watch the Tigers kick Cincinnati's butt. It was a very satisfying game. :)
Yesterday was such a nice day. After church, Ryan, Matt, Alli, and I had a leisurely lunch at Mozzarella's (in which Ryan found a piece of his plate in his pasta pie and received another one for free). In the afternoon, I burned a great workout (translation: ghetto :)) CD that I'd been trying to burn for a month, and then took a walk. While I was walking, the sun came out!!! For two hours! Thus, we have doubled our sunshine amount for the month. :) In the evening I went to Bible study at IPC- apparently Jean Larroux has been teaching on Sunday nights as well, and no one told me. Of course, it was a great lesson. Afterward, Ryan and I and Myla and her boyfriend went to dinner. It was fun and relaxing. Then I came home and Kathy and I watched half of Sense and Sensibility. Yay!
This was really long and I should have cut it. Oh, well.
