Shannon and I visited my favorite sister Amberly at Trinity on Friday and Saturday. We left school after seventh hour and took the train, then Amberly and her friend Dana and Dana's friend picked us up at the train station and the inside jokes began.
Wait--before I begin, do you like the new template? My buddy Rachel (also known as tiggersnail) designed it, isn't she great? I messed with the colors, but the whole layout is her creation, she's good. Can you believe she taught herself html? Mad props to Rachel.
I also joined some new diaryrings. I think I'm becoming addicted to those, but I'm restraining myself.
Back to the weekend. I'm really tired as I write this entry so if it doesn't make sense in some parts it's because I'm too sleepy to communicate coherently. Amberly's dorm room looks so much better now that it's decorated and not so stark. Although someone went a little crazy with the brightly colored yarn, but that's no big deal. We went to dinner and it costs six bucks for a guest to buy dinner! Let me tell ya, Trinity food is not worth 6 bucks. Shannon and I didn't buy dinner but they let us into the caf anyway. Amberly "couldn't finish" her dinner, so I ate her funfetti cake (with sprinkles) and mostacolli. Coincidentally two of my favorite foods.
The weird thing about Trinity is that a lot of people leave on the weekends; the weeknights have more going on than the weekends. We meandered around campus and met some of Amberly's friends, got some bosko sticks at the snack shop, hung out with Am's friends Vicki and Gina in their room for a while, and then we (except for Gina, I don't know where she went) hung out with Am's friends Mitch and Derek.
Mitch and Derek are awesome; they're hilarious and they have amazing music, book, and movie collections. Mitch has all the cds that I want but I'm too poor to buy. I need to send him a shipment of blank cds so he can burn them for me. Derek has a belt with a huge Harley Davidson logo on the belt itself and a giant belt buckle, it rocks. Mitch is Lance Higdon living in Illinois, it's spooky how similar they are. They like the same music, Mitch hardcore dances, he wants to take up the pipe, he's into books, there's a lot more similarities that I can't think of right now but when I was around him I kept thinking "woah." Profound statement, I know. Hanging out with MItch and Derek was one of the best times of the weekend. Amberly should bring them home with her sometime.
The next day was kinda boring until Janice came, but that's because we were really tired due to lack of sleep so we basically sat in Amberly's living room and zoned out. Janice came, we went to Applebee's and then we went to a Bebo Norman concert in Trinity's chapel. It was just him and this guy Gabe Scot; Bebo Norman played acoustic guitar and sang and Gabe Scot sang backup and played acoustic guitar, slide guitar, dulcimer, and piano. They're so freakin talented, they had great harmonies and great vocal control. Although because I was so sleep deprived I almost fell asleep towards the end, but that doesn't mean they weren't good. After the concert we went out for coffee, came back and hung out with Nate for a bit, and then Janice drove Shannon and I back to my house.
It was great to be around Amberly again, so many new inside jokes were created this weekend. There were lots of funny stories, but I'm not good at writing funny stories so just ask me about them sometime. Now I'm extremely sleepy and I have a buttload of homework to do and then Conan's 10th anniversary special is on tonight. Conan is the man. Amberly got an online diary, go visit it, it's callmepappy.diaryland.com, hop to it. That means visit it. Go. Now. And leave her a note. She doesn't have a guestbook cos signmyguestbook.com charges money now, those chumps, so leave her a note. Goodbye.
