More later

My friends kick ass.

This is where life gets busy

Yesterday, I woke up at eight, and thought, "It's Saturday. What do I need to get up for? Nothing." And went back to sleep. An hour later, mum came in and placed her very cold hands on my back to serve as a wake-up call. "Get up," she says, "We have to go into town because I need a hair cut, you need to close your bank account, and you need to be at Rhi's by noon."
By noon? Hmmm.
I knew something was up. I mean, I knew I was going to spend the night at Rhis. I'd told Ali she needed to come by while I was there. But I also remembered that Kamille had said something in a comment about having fun at a party this weekend. A comment that while I was emailed it, didn't appear on my journal.
Hmmm.
Alright, so, trip into town. Get a $500 check to myself as well as $174.14 in cash, thus closing my account that had held $674.14. That will get me just over $1000 NZ. This is a good start. Btw, Kah, got the postcard. Very awesome!
So, we get to Rhianna's, and there were other cars besides hers. I recognize one as Kaisa's, and the other I was pretty sure was Jess's. I was right.
Surprise party for me! Yay!
So there was food and fun and Cathy showed up, as did Ali. We watched Ron White, Bill Engvall, Dane Cook, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour (well, parts of it before we went outside to shoot at pumpkins and cans with beebee guns). Lots and lots of food and drink.
Oh, yes, there was a banner for me that they all wrote on. There were pictures taken by Ali of some of us in rather compromising positions. We also got to see Jess's pics from the party she'd held before Pat, Kah, Ali, and Jess all went off to college. And there was a cake for me, which said, "Hana Rocks!" It was sprinkle cake too.
I introduced them to the term 'feminazis.'
Cathy and Kaisa went off home, Ali couldn't stay the night but she could stay long enough for one movie. So, we watched the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as I do enjoy that movie, Jess had never seen it, and we all wanted to ravish Shane West. Bruce Almighty was what we watched before finally going to sleep.
I had to be home by noon so I got maybe half an hour of playing the Sims 2 before I got Rhi to take me home. At that I forgot to grab my banner and my case of CDs I brought. But I DID bring home my new edition!
(no, not a baby)
Perhaps you remember when I had a polar bear that needed naming? Spike. Does that ring a bell? Here, a picture:

Well, I got another polar bear. Meet Crash.

I now have bi-polar.

And so, I come home and am there less than half an hour before we are off to see my step-grandma, aunt, and cousins. Everyone's got to say their farewells. So we had a nice lunch there, and another cake that said, "Best Wishes for College, Hana" that was also very nice. And all in all very pleasant. Yet, now, I'm glad to be home and online and all that because I'm such an addict.
