Easter and stupid hair tricks
Apr. 17th, 2006 02:52 pmYesterday was one of these really awesome and unforgettable days. Nothing special or out of the ordinary really happened, but everyone that came around yesterday was in really high spirits for whatever reason. Everything was funny to everyone. First, Chrissie, Tim, Celia and her three kids came over around lunchtime, and Gran came up. They stayed till around 1:30; Gran stayed at my parents' and I went to let the dogs out and take care of Pendragon. Then I hung around on the computer for a while, being kind of bored. At 4-ish, Uncle Don, Betsy, Spencer and Meghan showed up, and at 5 Jeremy arrived. Betsy, Mom and I had a drink, and Betsy amused us all with her metal corkscrew rendition of Jesus's crucifixion, death, and rising. It was hilarious. I said that at Christmas she'd have to do his birth, too.
We had a long dinner, then I brought up PS2 and SC3 and Spence, Jeremy and I had marathon games. (I'd have to say that Spencer beat us both, if we were keeping score.) Everyone who is going to Disney on November was there, and we each chose a restaurant we like best. My Mom wrote them down, so that when she makes reservations (which you have to do months in advance these days!) everyone gets to eat at their favorite restaurant. During most of this time, SB, Jeremy and I were still playing SC3, while Meghan was watching. (Because Meg loves to watch video games. She plays them once in a while, but she'd rather watch others play.
After Uncle Don and Betsy and the kids left at around 8:30, Jeremy and I stayed at my folks' to try to help him find a new apartment (he wants to move closer to his new job.) And really that was about it. But today everyone's saying how much fun yesterday was. It's hard to explain. It was just really relaxing.
Today I went shopping first thing after I ate breakfast because I needed a few items, and I picked up a few little plants to go under my tree outside. I also got this goddamn stupid Hairigami thing, because I really need something to keep my hair secure at Kung Fu, and I like to do interesting and bizarre things with my hair. The booklet tells you that it takes practice to do the most basic bun. What it means is that it takes a hairdresser who has about five hands. The book says you need patience to master it. What it means is that you need about five hours of free time, and maybe a class. It's advertized as an innovative hair-styling tool. What it really is is a ridiculous piece of randomly snapping plastic covered in cloth that should be thrown into the fire, along with its inventer. What it doesn't tell you is that you need completely straight, even hair for this. Hair that has any curl--mine, for instance--quickly becomes a nest of twisted knots. Nice. I like the hair yoga better, even though I can only do one style with it because I apparently have too much hair to do any of the others.
Well anyway, I feel a little KH2 coming on. I should get on that.
