This weekend was an especially busy one, but that good busy, not that sitting in your room studying all day busy. The kind of busy that makes you smile on Sunday night when you go to sleep.
Friday, was a relatively boring night for me, until before it ended. I was supposed to go to a soccer game and a Ra Ra Riot concert with Simon, but complications led to me just going home, spending a night watching Jackass and Nitro Circus on MTV until midnight. But that wasn't the exciting part. During most of my Jackass marathon, I got in touch with director Justin Eugene Evans, the man who made the Anaheim Film Festival hit, A Lonely Place For Dying. I had friended him a week previous, and that night, I wrote a status about him and his film, and how excellent I thought they were, as well as the two main actors in the film, Ross Marquand and Michael Scovotti. He saw the post, and we ended up getting into a "comment conversation". He then proceeded to write a status on his wall about me, quoting my blog, and posting a link for all to see. That pretty much made my night at that point, and I was almost happy I didn't go to the concert..just maybe.
Saturday, I spent my day driving around with Melissa, trying to get the rest of the components to Jia's, my sister, movie-quality costume. She was going as Jesse from Toy Story. We stopped in a consignment store, and I found a gift for Piera, the one I was looking for exactly. I'm not going to go into to much detail about Piera, in my attempt to have some neutrality, but let's just say she's special. No more detail hooligans! Be gone!
Anyway, we got done there, picked up a glue gun that we spent about an hour looking for, went home and got ready for my friend Fabian's party. Leaving the house a little later than expected, we got there, and Fabian and I made our way to Santan Village, a Gilbert mall near his house, leaving our parents to have fun. To protect Fabian, I will edit out some persons involved with him as to not anger anyone involved with him. Basically, we just hung out for a little bit, talked about our friends, school, family, and Fabian bought a new pair of shoes at the Vans store. The store clerk was hilarious, and him and I were going back and forth about a beanie that I wanted to get, him claiming that it was for a girl, me claiming that it wasn't for me. We left, laughing, and walked home. From there, we went to his house, watched a ridiculously intoxicated man urinate against a wall, and played XBox 360 in his living room. I went home, tired, but still satisfied from a fun night.
Sunday, I did a buttload of chores, rushing to get ready for Piera's party. I did 5 loads of laundry, cleaned my backyard and kitchen, and cleaned my room. Simon picked up, fresh out of a soccer game, and we went to his house so he could get ready. Let me attempt to visualize what Simon's house looks like. Imagine an Andy Warhol/Frank Lloyd Wright collaboration home. The size of a small hotel. Yeah, it's disgusting, in that beautiful way. Honestly, I would kill to live in a house like that, because it's simply put, mind-blowing. Anyway, back to the story. We went to Dave and Buster's at Tempe Marketplace, met up with Piera and some of our friends, and had fun. I met Piera's parents too. Her mother is extremely nice, and her father, while partially scary at times, is ultimately, just a nice and well-meaning man. I started to realize that our friends were putting a lot of stress and pressure on Piera, so I tried to make her feel better and play some games with her.
We went to Target, and I bought to DVD's, and Simon bought a book. When we got back to Dave and Buster's, Simon put the bag down and it got stolen. Good job Simon. Always thinking. We all sat down, ate some delicious nachos, and got back to more games. It was actually a really fun day, and I was glad I went. Also, on a side note, I was the only person who got her anything (ZING!) so I felt pretty special about that.
That's all for now, I'm ready for the week ahead, extremely exhausted though.
Also another side note, October 22nd was National Stuttering Awareness day. If you don't already know, I've struggled with a stutter for almost my whole life, and to anyone with a stutter who reads this, you're not the only one, no matter how much you think you are. Anyone and everyone should have an opportunity to do something great, no matter what holds them back.
