so the fourth was pretty ok-blah-blah-shit... nothing really spectacular happened. mary nell and kate and mary nell's good friend sidney came over and we played pictionary. earlier in the day, evelyn and a friend of hers from william and mary came over and we sat around. played a game and watched a movie. chris (the friend) took a nap. god. our lives are really boring.


so there was a lot of rain and a decent amount of electrical disruption in the air yesterday, so everyone ostensibly cancelled the fireworks celebrations. but then... at like midnight -- right after brad got home, we started to hear explosions and shit. so we were all excited or whatever. i leapt up and headed over toward the stairs so i could go up on the roof and watch the festivities, but i stupidly tripped on something on the way and fell onto the couch. this made me realize that i was far too tired to enjoy the fireworks (and probably too tired to safely climb the stairs) so i went to sleep. yeah, i think that i am officially old because of that.


in other news, ray comes home tomorrow! yay! luckily, ray doesn't read this, so we can use it as a forum to plot for his return. hahaha! not really, but i think the plan is for mn and brad to go to the student center tonight to prepare for ray's arrival. so anyone who is interested should contact on of these cats and find out what the deal is. otherwise you are going to get a shit part in the synchronized dance routine. or be on the bottom of the pyramid.
