Clip The Wings That Get You High, Just Leave Them Where They Lie

My weekend really started on Thursday. My car was booted at school that day and after a bout of lying to the lady I needed to lie to, she finally got the security guards to remove the device on my tire. My friends gathered around my car for a little bit while the security people were removing the thing and while the two guards tried to figure out how to use the key (ridiculous, no?), James, Captain, Otter, and another kid walked to the other side of the parking lot. Something exploded when the foursome were halfway across the parking lot, far away from the actual explosion. After walking to where they needed to go and walked back to investigate the explosion. Come on, they're teenage males. Did you think they wouldn't? So, after noticing that there really wasn't much to it, they came back to where I was and just as I was about to pull out of the parking space, a lady called them back and directed them to the office. Long story short, they were accused of setting off an explosive and the administration (as crappy as it is) tried to get me to incriminate the four of them and even tried to get them to confess to it. For two and a half hours, it was just nonstop, hardcore trying to get them into trouble. They eventually got off with no punishments, but there was a police report filed. They had their Miranda rights read to them...Sounds like fun.

Bella joined us somewhere along the lines and the six of us eventually met up at the end of it all and discussed it through. Getting the whole story straight, another kid joined us. By this time, the straggler kid and Captain had left, leaving Bella, Otter, MoMo, James, and I. We all piled into the bed of James' truck and just sat and chatted about stuff. Otter left relatively soon after that. We talked about the blatant homosexuality of the football team and other stuff (where we all realized that I had the cleanest childhood and was really the luckiest one out of the four that remained). We eventually got out of the parking lot and Bella, James and I headed over to James' house so that he could drop off his car and we could head off to Tempe for a presentation at the Gammage theatre.

We got dinner from a place called Cornish Pasty which was really good. First sitting down, we arranged ourselves so that Bella and I were sitting on a side of where there was a bench and James was across the table on a chair. I was on the outside and after a few comments, James was coerced into moving to our side. Score! Physical contact right? Well, it wasn't that much, and really, all I did was start a game of tag...The dessert was pavlova, which is a meringue with whipped cream and fruits. It was yummy, and since I'm such a whipped cream whore, it was fun. (The story behind that: after random events where James was present, he came to the conclusion that I rather enjoyed whipped cream. In fact, it got to the point where we joke about me having - for example - waffles with my whipped cream instead of my whipped cream with waffles.) So, we decided that by the time we were done, we weren't going to make the presentation, so we just walked around Mill for a little bit.

We drove down to Mill, where Bella was sure I was going to kill us all with my driving, and started at an interesting clothing/ness store called Urban Outfitters. It was fun and we stopped and flipped through a book where action figures were arranged in interesting ways. We then headed to Hippie Gypsy, where we swore would have every parent pull out drug tests after being in there and they had the cutest stickers and signs. After that, we trekked to Borders and then back to a random Sub Deli place. It was just about 10 then so we started on our way home. Heading back, we stopped at Basha's and got stuff. Dropping people off, I returned home.

Friday, after going through school, I stayed a little bit after school and got home at 3:30. My baby brother (of 7) got home shortly after I did and imagine my surprise when he came in and cursed my brother (16 on Monday) for forgetting to pick him up! I got a few things done and in an hour, headed off to Bella's house. I called James (we were planning on catching a play called Triangle) and somehow worked it out so that we'd all meet back at my house. Well, when I got to Bella's, she was asleep-ish on her bed and kind of distraught.

After coercing her out of bed and into clothes, a string of events happened and she was distraught over Otter and the fact that it seemed like an unbalanced relationship. James showed up at the door and I was downstairs to let him in. We paced around downstairs for a little bit and listened to Bella's sister and her friends play Guitar Hero 3 before heading upstairs and setting up a game of pool. I won twice only because the 8 ball hated James and eventually, we just gave up and retreated for the sole chair in the loft (that's where we were). He took up most of the chair, but I was perched on the armrest. Wrapping an arm around him for support, I was delighted when his hand grasped mine (This is where I get silly and girly...). Eventually, Bella's sister came over and told us that Bella was crying and that we should probably go see if we could do something. We decided that I was better suited and so I went.

Bella and I talked a little bit about it, but we mostly skirted around the main point. We decided that the night was more of an "indoors" night anyways and called James into the room to redo the plans. James eventually called Otter and chewed him out about being a horrible person and we decided that the day was Bella's - whatever she wanted. So, we went out for a little bit of shopping for stuff (and even though we didn't buy anything to throw and break), we got back with soda and sparkling apple cider. Dinner and then I put a bottle of sparkling apple cider in the freezer, turning to James and instructing him to remind me to take it out later.

An hour later, I realized that the bottle was still in the freezer and nearly leaped out of my own skin to make sure it didn't explode in the freezer. It didn't. In fact, it barely froze. There were little bits of ice, but other than that, it was fine. So, pouring cups of it (into plastic cups no less, that was amusing), we sat down for another movie. Before we started, Bella called Otter and then disappeared to another room. Okay. It got a bit quiet before Bella's sister and friends came down and the dogs started barking and stuffs. Okay. We went upstairs to play another game of pool (which lasted significantly longer) and James won this time. My mother called and told me to get home, so I finished the game of pool and chatted a little with everyone before heading off.

Saturday was relatively tame in comparison I guess. I woke up to a call from Bella and rushed off to school for a practice AP test. It went alright, I finished it all in time and the essays were alright. I guess I'm expecting mediocre results. I got home, my dad a little mad that I disappeared, but he disappeared for a little, so whatever. My middle brother went off to a band thing at 2, so I drove him to school. It was his birthday, how could I not? I got back, tended to my 16-year-old brother and eventually got back from shopping for him. Eh. We got home, did some stuff, and then my dad came back home. I sat down with some sewing, and a little bit of computer ness, and eventually, told my mother to go find Birthday brother and pick him up. Two of his friends had shown up for his party thing by the time he got back, and the third showed up shortly after he did. We ran and got pizza and a cake and the boys played games until 9 when I sat them down for cake and more sparkling apple cider. All was good.

Sunday, I woke up relatively early (8-ish I guess) and woke my brothers up at 9. I sewed for an hour before I gave up on my pants. I got the boys breakfast and then hopped on my computer a little more. Eventually, we played Starcraft, which was fun. Nothing much. I withdrew 60 dollars from my account and now need a job. Tomorrow, I shall get prom ticket. Went out to dinner, and I swear, my dad just gets even more annoying the more time I spend with him. Got back, more computer, and apparently, I'm getting a printer, a chess board and set, and three keyboard keys from James on Monday...I'm looking forward to this.

This should be fun. Nothing to do but wait for the future to unfold. I can plan, but when the time comes, if I don't execute the plan, then where the hell would that leave me? I should so corner DJ's girlfriend and tell her to arrange it so that James goes to prom with me...So silly...
