Friday, like I said in the last blog, was really awesome. My conference went well. Friday night I got the chance to go out with my best friend and his family, so I took it. He still lives back in the Toledo area, so I don't see him all that often...usually about once every other month. His mommy came down too! During high school, she was like a second mother to me, so it was really incredible to see her. I haven't seen her since Lee's high school graduation...which was 6 years ago. She ran up to me and gave me a great big hug and said "ZomG! You look JUST like you did when you were 15." I went "ummmm...is that good or bad?" And she said "It's good! It's good! You still look so sweet and cute and innocent." And Lee goes "Yeah...but she isn't." True story. We just hung out at his aunt's house. Lee and I sat outside for a while and had good talks. His fiancee Aly and I hung out for a bit and talked about her wedding. I am planning it for them, so we need to start getting some things in line. I got home around midnight and my boyfriend was missing. I called him and asked him if he'd been kidnapped or if he just didn't feel like telling me he was leaving. Turns out he wanted to go play videogames with a friend and assumed I'd magically know that's where he went. He's a goofball.

Saturday Jon and I spent the large majority of the day at the zoo. My favorite part of the day had to be the lion. We were walking up to his enclosure and he suddenly started roaring and pacing back and forth. It was SO loud! He just kept roaring and roaring and pacing and pacing...and suddenly he stops right in front of us...*GACK!*...he coughed up a lion-sized hairball. For as gross as it was, it was freaking AWESOME!! I've never seen a lion throw up before. I was not super impressed by "Fluffy" the world's largest python. I was all excited to go see it, and it was just curled up into a ball. Hello...if all of the ads say you are 27ft, I want to see all 27ft. of you, snake. Although, I did get a glimpse of what I *think* was the widest part of him...and he's definitely wider than me. That's a BIG snake. Then we came home and curled up on the couch together to watch the Buckeye game, which resulted in lots of Jon-bitching. Silly Michigan fan. We ARE the "without sports this wouldn't be disgusting" commercial. Here...just in case you don't know what I'm talking about...


Then we spent the rest of the evening hanging out together and goofing around.

Sunday was largely spent at Trickynicki's house. We went to a kickass breakfast, where we both ate ourselves retarded...then we carved pumpkins (and roasted the seeds...nom nom nom) and watched scary movies and drank margaritas and baked cookies...okay...I didn't realize it at the time, but apparently all we did was eat. Haha. When I got home, I tried to murder Jon...I gave him what I thought was an innocently tasty Hershey's kiss (with cherry cordial flavoring inside...NUM!!)...and he bit into it then looked at me and went "I'm allergic to cherries." And I panicked...then I read the package and luckily, no actual cherries were used in the making of cherry-flavored Hershey's kisses. I KNEW this was the case...if someone had asked me if Jon had allergies, I would have said "why yes...penicillin and bing cherries"...but I just didn't even think about it. Luckily, he just laughed and said "You are supposed to wait until AFTER I have married you and signed the life insurance policies over to you to poison me." Then around 8:15 we went on a dinner-finding adventure. Apparently EVERY location that serves food in Grove City closes at 8pm on Sunday.

I bought tickets for Nicki and I to go see Paramore and The Starting Line in a week!! I am also researching external burners for my laptop since the one IN the laptop no longer works and I am dying listening to the same CD over and over and over in my car. I think I will go DVD burner (can you even get JUST a CD-R drive anymore? I don't think so...atleast I can't find one.) as that will make Jon happy too.

[emo] On the off chance that even though you have ignored me, you happen to check-in... I'm STILL sorry...and I'll still be here if you need me. For as much fun as I had this weekend, it couldn't get me past knowing that I hurt you, and that fact quietly nagged at the back of my mind the whole weekend. And at times, it shouted at me...especially at Nicki's...where so many of the fun-times I had with you happened. I am trying my hardest to leave you alone...because I know that's what you want...but I just wanted to say I'm sorry again. It makes me feel better...even if I'm saying it to no one. [/emo]
