Suddenly I have a social life!

Thanksgiving was pretty nice for the Pollack Clan. It was just the five of us, plus my Grandpa Garvin. As usual, Mom went over really early and did all the work and then called after we woke up to say "I've been doing this all by myself, why aren't you up already?" sort of stuff. Bah. Thankfully it was all very low stress. We ate dinner happily and casually, and the same with seconds and other helpings. I got to watch a dog show, and also the Drum and Bugle Core Championships--which rock hardcore. We stared in awe at Grandpa's gigantic TV and watched "The Wizard of Oz" in all it's gigantic, beautiful colorfulness. The whole time I was thinking, damn, when are we going home? I was told some of the highschool crew would be gettnig together tonight, and here I am doing cross stitch and watching the wizard of Oz?

We finally got home, and there was a message from Dave K. on the answering machine. Turns out he had just called, and I hadn't missed a thing. WOOO! I exclaimed "I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!"

And so I did. It was indeed a very informal evening, mainly involving the usual driving around to pass the time. The highlight of the evening was perhaps when Jonah bought a 25 cent packet of saurkraut at the Speedway. Or perhaps when Dave K. stole the fire lighter from Jonah's house and used it for entertainment and defense in the car. Or perhaps our recovery of a road cone, which we put in Jonah's shower and took pictures of. ANYWAY, it was good fun. I was hoping to booze up a little, but I'll get my wish soon, as Dave K. has challenged Steph to a game of drunken Mario Kart racing. So there will apparently be a shindig going down Friday night. Also, Jonah invited me to come to a concert that evening, which will be:

1)My first real concert EVER
2)Involve the performance of the remaining members of the Grateful Dead
3)Hopefully ending in time to get back for the Drunken Mario Kart Debacle.

Of course, I'm supposed to wake up at some ungodly hour on Friday morning to go shopping with Mom. Gotta be back by 4:30 to hitch a ride with Jonah. Go to conert, go to party, go to sleep. Saturday I get my hairdo re-cut in the morning, and then in the afternoon to evening I'm going to hang out with the great Chris, and we will watch all six episodes of Buffy I have on tape, and hopefully procure DiCarlo's pizza for it. I guess I need to pack for Hiram somewhere in there. . .

So suddenly, from nothing to do and nowhere to go, I have a full schedule. I'm glad, and I hope it's all fun.
