Thieves In The Orchard

This weekend has been really amazing.

Friday: After school I went to Outspoken with Alex & Colette & Tyler and there we saw John & Lily. We sat there for a while and talked, then we went to Alex's house and hung out until the football game. We played pool... and Colette tried to use her "techniques.." she lost her playing privileges towards the end. hahah. At the football game we went in using alex's ID card four times to get me, sydney, and alison in. We went in and said hi to nick and robin.. and got extremely cold and bored. Alex, alison, colette, sydney and i left the game and started walking away from the school and under the bridge. we took a small path up to the railroad tracks and started walking down them and to the train station. Alex and I soon realized that it was pitch black and WAY darker than it was when we were with cole and nick last time. so the four of us kept walking, but poor colette was wearing uncomfortable shoes. I turned around to see how the shoes were working out when i saw a silhouette of someone behind her. I thought it was Alex, so i counted everyone but we were all there. We realized that there was someone following us, so we started to run really fast to get away from the train tracks. poor colette was trapped behind because of her shoes! :(. so we stopped and she finally caught up. so we kept running on the side streets and then finally walked. when we passed the train station someone jumped out and cleared their throat and said "oh i finally caught up to you guys.." when he walked by us he smelled really grossly of alcohol. so we crossed the street and started walking faster. Then he noticed that we crossed so he slowed way down and then pulled into an alley and stopped, waiting for us to walk by. So, we paced to insomniac video and sat in there until he left. Then we rented Airplane! *(after being in the video store for 45 minutes)* We continued our walk to Colette's house, and when we got there watched the movie and had really yummy alfredo pasta.

Saturday: I woke up at 7:30 and went to Mission Plaza with my dad for the Plein Air Festival. I posed for three artists on the grass outside the Art Center and made money. Which was really helpful. Then we stayed for the auction which was fun, and my dad and i went home. i took a nap from 2-4:30. it felt so good to sleep. i hadn't slept much all week. Then Alex came over and we hung around for a while. thennnn sydney came three hours late. AHEM!!!!!. so we made vegan dinner for her and two boxes of macaroni and cheese for alex and i. haha. they then FORCED me to watch the exorcism of emily rose. (AHHH) and we watched CASHBACK [amazing] and the TV set. which i didnt like that much

Sunday: sydney and i went downtown all day and went on a random stuff hunt.
i got a really cute fondue kit for 5 dollars. yesss. then we went to Linnea's for the songwriter's showcase. After that nate and sydney came over and we all played guitar in my room with claudia. it was really sweet. they left around 11/11:30. it was a good night

Monday: Bob Jones bike trail/BEACH!!/lavendar/apple orchard thieves. best apples in a long time/being stranded in the pitch black freezing night/the amazing feeling of a hot bath after the beach/love with new cd player
wow. so that was really long and satisfying
