Heals The Original Dryness

for lack of more energy to blog....
an email from nora (my older sister, it's kinda a tradition she send me an email on my birthday instuing knowledge about the coming year):
subj: that day again
So you are 19. Nothing special about the coming of this age. No new found
luxuries, abilities, or responsibilities come with the 19th year of life. It
is your last chance to do stupid things and chalk it up or excuse it with
the "I'm a teenager" excuse, live it up while you can. You are now halfway
to being 38, that's something.

Happy birthday.

Nora

subj: re:that day again
i love you! you missed acapolco dinner, but thats ok, the service was really shitty. we asked for water about 7 times before we got it. we got our FOOD before water. plus there was this huge group of asian teenagers in yellow shirts that were probably campers of sorts and were really annoying and stuff. but on the plus side... steak fajitas... oh and i had a "social gathering" cause it really wasn't a very organized sort of birthday party, but we went to this park off of cal ave that has swing sets and big feilds and molly stones right down the street so we were set, and we just hung out and people got there when they could and left when they had to etc. etc. and it was really fun and relaxing and totally what i wanted it to be. there were a couple times i wished we had a deck of cards, but oh well, next time. we made up for it by just lightly tossing the frisbe between us while we were sitting in the shade, "zen frisbe" as neil called it, we had been playing full out frisbee earlier. e ven josie and my friend jeeyon got in on it. anyway, happy times, hope you are well. say hi to nick and anyone else i might know. hugs and stuff :)

much love,
aileen


email from elliot:
(basicly he got home late and couldn't come, so he wished me happy birthday anyway)

my response:
hehehe! thank you for the well wish, sorry you didn't make it, there were plenty of people so don't worry about it, but it was fun and stuff and you would have enjoyed it. lots of my friends meeting each other and just hanging out and stuff. and at one point almost all of them were on those bobbley springy things they have in parks, you know, where you sit on them and they rock back and forth and bob around. anyway it was really amusing seeing full grown people on those; they lean back and the spring thing bends back so far they fall on the ground. i never really enjoyed those when i was younger, i think it was cause i never had enough weight to throw around to really get the effect of those "rides"/park play things. it was really fun, a couple of them were motorcycles, so when you leaned back it looked like you were popping a wheelie :D and you could lean to the side and "turn" it was so much fun. i was racing away from the people on the teeter totter behind me. in other words we were silly and acted like 5 year olds which was the entire point of the party in the first place, being at a park :D

so yeah, gives you an idea of what it was like :)

hope all is well! ttyl
