Friday, I went to the sports center with Rachel & pals. I learned about The Game - you know, "If you know The Game, you play The Game, and if you think about The Game, you lose The Game." It took me a bit to figure out what the heck they were talking about. And now I'm always losing The Game!
Saturday was the Mani-Pedi party, but first the group got together and played Ultimate Frisbee and soccer. It was raining, too, but it was kind of refreshing. I was on Jorgen's team. (I say Jorgen's team because he was the only one who really did any work.) He told me to run for the goal to catch the frisbee, and I did... towards the WRONG GOAL. BUT, my idiocy distracted the other team, and Jorgen was able to throw it to Samantha and get a goal. My team won all of the games we played =D I got mud all over my favorite jeans and new Vans though. Then we made a quick stop at my house so I could change, and we went back to Samantha's house. It was terribly fun. We got foot scrubs courtesy of Valerie. Anneliise was soo fun to watch - she screamed with laughter whenever Valerie even got near her feet =P My iPod froze up and I thought it was broken, so I went in the bathroom and sat there (and possibly cried) for a few minutes until someone said "Jessica fixed it!" And she had. I was so relieved! We eventually watched Step Up, a really great movie, and 13 Going on 30 (Although only me, Anneliise, and our new pal Becky were even awake then.) Then we woke up the next morning, and discovered that we actually only had an hour to get ready. I freaked out, because I needed to take a shower. Except for my hair, which was still kind of wet, I was presentable at church. After church, I hung out with Angie and we watched Miss Congeniality, then walked down to the (shall not be named here) conference grounds with the family and played ping-pong and walked along the boardwalk.
And today was Aly and John's 16th birthday party! We all crowded into Aly's little bedroom. Aly whooped John at Guitar Hero twice, we listened to Swedish techno - Basshunter, I believe - and then watched Never Back Down, a really amazing movie. We stopped in the middle and ate tacos. Right about then Anneliise showed up, and we ate cake and burnt brownies and battled the Candle That Wouldn't Die. We eventually had to kill it with apple juice. Then we finished the movie and watched part of an episode of Family Guy, which was just as bad as I thought it was. I had a great time. Let's see... Aly, John, me, Liise, Sully, Lily, and Chris all came.
