Last night I had a dream. But, unfortunately I can't seem to remember much of it. I remember pushing Nick Shroeder (an SLC kid) down onto the red bench in my foyer and then seducing him. Of course, right before any thing good happens my phone rings. Damnit. Today, I went shopping with Margaret and my family. It was nice to spend time with Margaret. I really am glad that we are hanging out again. It was weird to not be close with her during high school. After a day of shopping, I spent my afternoon in my parents' room discussing Star Wars. It was really interesting to talk to my whole family about Star Wars. Did you know that Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo had three children? One was named Anakin, wow, I am a nerd. Jake and I are discussing a road trip to Denver for the 50 Cent concert. That would be a fun trip, it would kind of weird though. No, actually it would be terribly weird.

Me: Do you know Alex Steitz?
Jake: I've heard the name
Jake: Isn't he bizzare kid that ran for president?
Me: Yeah
Jake: A little odd if I recall?
Me: lol he wants to go to the naval academy
Jake: Skinny?
Me: Yeah
Jake: Whats the naval academy?
Me: The United States Navy school
Me: It's like West Point for the Navy
Jake: ha, what a joke
Me: I know.
Me: Is he even tall enough?
Jake: why spend money educating them to drive a boat if theyre goiing to get shot anyways
Me: lol.
Me: They need officers
Jake: thats something germans would do
Me: is it?

What? You pooped in the refrigerator? And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing!

My family is hilarious. I had dinner tonight with my cousins. Ok, they aren't really my cousins by blood, however, my grandma was BFF with this woman named Marilyn. And our families have always been friends. So, all the kids in my generation are like cousins. Let me introduce the characters...

Robert
He's quiet. He's kinda creepy seeming, but he married Jo and produced three awesome kids with his seed, so how bad can he be?

Jane
She's my mom. She's a hard ass with a semi sweet heart of gold.

Harlan
He's my father. He's got an amazing sense of humor and is funny as all hell.

Jo
Jo is married to Robert. She's loud and funny. She's the oldest of three and has three kids of her own. Her mother's most definitely insane. She's just as funny as my dad.

Me
Self-explanatory

Sarina
She's 16 and one of the funniest people I know. She's quick to call people on their bullshit, but an awesome friend to have.

Anne
My little sister. I find her pretty damn annoying, but she has her funny moments.

So, we're sitting at the dinner table. We're talking about Jo's sister Doe and her family. All of a sudden Sarina yells out, "I hate Harry he's such a little bitch." Everyone of course cracks up, but it doesn't end with her. Pretty soon everyone is chipping in about what a little bitch he is... eventually the conversation turns into a talk about Alex's (Doe's daughter) bat mitzvah. Basically, Sarina and I were attacked by seventh graders and we told them to go away, but of course in not so nice words. Then Doe proceeds to lecture me about being nice. So, this lovely homosexual Joe and I drink a bit and go and then hunt down this little snitch. Sarina, already hunted her down and was like, "No one likes a snitch." Regardless, we hunt this 12 year old bitch down in laser tag and we just keep shooting her. Then she kicks me in the shin... and all hell almost broke loose, but it turned into Joe and I making her cry. Back to dinner though, so after we all laughed about the various shenanigans that ensued in laser tag alone we told stories about Aileen, who is a demented old woman who shouldn't be drinking anymore (p.s. she's my godmother, her husband is the one who just died). So, Aileen decided to go to the bar next door and get something to drink. There was no bartender behind the bar and being old school, she went behind the bar and went to fix herself a drink. Sarina, never missing a beat, quips "Do you think she paid for her drink after she stole it?" We talked about grocery stores for a while before we turned the discussion to the favorite grandchildren of Marilyn (Jo's mom). Sarina interjects that she is either the least favorite or the second least following her brother Noah. She explains that Adam is the first, followed by Madelyn, Alex, Sydney, Noah or Sarina (it changes). Marilyn is hilarious because she's old and follows the rule that old people can do whatever they want. Actually, most old people seem to use this rule and often interrupt me at Shabbat dinner. Fucking old people. Yeah, dinner was fun.

Would you excuse me? I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling up with blood.

Well, being home has been fun. Mariah and I are doing whatever we do... we're friends one day and all over each other the next. I don't want to be just friends, -sigh-, but of course she's right and we can't get caught. My parents are out of town this week and I have the house to myself. Except for the addition of the thorn in my side, Anne. If anyone wants to take care of an adorable 16 year old for a week, you can have her.

My parents have been extremely gracious and bought me some really pretty clothes today. Yay. My dad is a really funny guy. I really have forgotten about how funny he was until we were watching James Bond together, Moonraker to be exact. He is talking about the things in the movie that are so stupid. It was great. My dad has also given me a job. It's called drive cars for him on business trips. I wonder how much he'll pay.

Ok, I need to get dressed for I can go out to the suburbs... w00t.
