Birthdays and Poker Games...

Today was my friend's birthday, and we decided we were going to meet up at the mall. I called her first thing when I woke up to see what mall she wanted to go to and stuff, and she told me. I got ready to meet her, and I wore a white t-shirt, jeans, and a scarf she gave me from the last time I saw her. The last time I saw her was on my graduation. I knew she would be happy to see me wearing the scarf she got me. I caught the bus, and she had told me she would be on it, but she wasn't, and I was worried. Mind you this friend has no cellular phone, so I had no way of calling her. But she borrowed someones phone at the bus stop she was at and called me. I got off at the transit center only to see the hot married Indian lady who looks at me all funny...She goes to my school! I cannot figure her out. She always smiles really big when she sees me and stuff. Anyways, I saw her get onto the bus I had just gotten off, and I immediately decided that I had to get back on it. As I quickly attempted to get back on the bus, I almost tripped on my stupid sandal. It was funny and she giggled a bit. Yes, I am obvious! Hahaha! We talked briefly and then the bus took me to the mall I needed to get to. I went up to ZUMIEZ, a store we have here that has some cute hats, and I purchased a fedora. I love hats!!! Hats and scarves...Yes, GAY! Hehe! Anyways, my friend and I had a good day shopping. I spent way to much money. We went to lunch at a Thai restaurant, and we both loved it. I came out to her and she was okay. She told me that I had been through this faze before, which I had, back in high school, but I told her that this time it was different. She told me that she thought because guys had disappointed me that was why I was feeling like this, but I explained to her that it is not just a feeling, I have not liked guys in a LONG time. She told me I should get a girlfriend and experiment. I told her I was looking, but that I did not want a girl who looked like a man. She just laughed. We looked at books at the bookstore, and I found a book on sale that is called "Kalpana's Dream" by. Judith Clarke. Its about teenagers in Australia from India. It should be interesting!

I got home afterward, and my parents had a poker game planned for our family and a family we have been friends with for years. Long story short, the parents got divorced recently, and our family has remained friends with the father of the kids, ages 16 and 20. He loves to play poker, so about once a month or so, we end up getting together to play poker. Anyways, I am pretty good at poker. I am not AMAZING or anything, but I am good! I ended up coming in third in our first tournament, second in the second one, and second again in the third! I do pretty well. He, the family friend that loves poker, ALWAYS wins! I still had a great time! I had two glasses of wine, and it was funny because I was not so much tipsy as I was simply funny. I cracked jokes about everything! Yep! I love good ol' vino! hehe!

Can I just say how glad I am to have my brother back from Military school? The boy is amazing now! He is so nice and sweet!!! And his girlfriend and him have such a good realtionship...They just love each other. I really want to have a relationship like that some day. Although I know they are young and silly, both 16, I still envy what they do have and that is 'sweet innocence'.

Anyways, that is all I have for now. I will update this soon. Also, I am planning on doing a collage and scanning it and putting it up on here...Yeah! It should be cool. :) I will show you all when I get it done.
