U-haul Trucks and Bean Dip...

[pipistrellafelix]

I went bowling this morning with Ben; two games, lost both times. I'm really bad at bowling, but it was fun anyway.

And then I went to Shana's to help move her roommate out. I sliced open the inside of my elbow with a cardboard box (because I'm talented like that), and drove on the freeway which I hate doing, and spent about seven minutes parallel parking (because I'm really incredibly awful at it).
And then thirteen of us rode back to Hardwick's in the empty back of the U-haul truck which was hilarious, and stifling, and loud, and insane, and really incredibly dark. I literally couldn't see my hand in front of my face; it's not just an expression. We were making really terrible jokes and headlines--"Thirteen Die in Flaming, Burning U-Haul Crash" and "Thirteen Thespians Go Down Singing"--since we were pretty much all singing 'Creature of the Earth' at the end. And the best quote of the day:

Steven (during all the death-jokes): "It kind of makes your life flash before your eyes."
Kaya: "Yeah...but I can't see it."

And then there was a party at Shana's, which was sort of a birthday party for Austin, with the best cake I have ever seen: White frosting, black sprinkles, a drawn broken heart and the words 'to a soul blacker than these sprinkles.'

And now I really have to go pack. I'm going camping, to the Olympic Peninsula, from tomorrow till Saturday. Hurray!

Enjoy the peninsula.

Who were you all trusting with your life? Shana?

Haha, yes...she said she had one moment where she said she realized how many lives she had in her hands...and then she just kept going.

Doesn't that make you just feel oh so confident of your safety, in retrospect ;)

Glad she got y'all back safe and sound (she did get ALL of you, right? You aren't hiding a dead body or two somewhere?)

...uh. No. No, of course not. *shoves corpse further into bushes*

Riding in the full U-Haul was quite an experience too, especially when we realized that we were on the freeway. Also, there was the constant fear that something could get loose and fall on our heads in the dark. I nearly got squished between a dresser and a mattress.

Oh, I bet...hehe. I kind of wanted to do that but it was so bloody hot loading the thing I didn't really want to after all.

We'll have to rent one and do what Lily did, deck it all out in lights and things and go riding around.

Bowling with Ben Burkhalter? Or someone else with no aliterations?

[elanor-two.livejournal.com]

Yep, Mr. Burkhalter.

but I love this:

I laughed so hard and my cousins went "Wah?" but, you have to know Austin

Hahaha, I know, isn't it perfect? And he tried to blow out the candles and the sprinkles went everywhere, because there were so many of them...
