0014: Back from the trip.
Well, I'm back, I had a great time, but I really wished I could've taken today off to have a normal life for a day.

Basically, we drove off right after school and we got to my Aunt Suzie's house at around 2:30 AM. Her and Rod (her boyfriend) were staying up and waiting for us, but Ashley (Rod's daughter from his last marriage) was sleeping.

We talked for about half an hour, then we went to bed. I woke up second-to-last, and we basically hung out until 6:00 PM which was when the reception would begin. I finally got to become friends with Ashley, last time she stopped by, we ate pancakes, and then we had to leave.

The reception was a blast, the food was better thant he last reception I was at, but the atmosphere was better then than now. Very few cousins, or even recognizable people were there. I basically hung out with Lauren, Katie, and Timmy all night, while the adults parties with eachother, repeating stories we all heard last year and recalling events from their lives as kids.

For me, the reception wasn't that much about the bride and groom, but more about us meeting the groom's friends from England. They're all incredibly nice and interesting people.

After that, we went home (er, Suzie's house), watched movies, and hit the sack. Sunday was an entire day (or at least the good part of it) of driving. How depressing. I got to school and learned that I had forgotten a big homework assignment, and several tests. Oh well, I made out well in the end.


My Coheed & Cambria CD still hasn't arrived, I emailed them, Claudio himself responded telling me that for some reason people don't really recieve their merch for like ten days. He said that if it doesn't arrive this week, he'll send it again as part of the uber-fan pack, for free. This fan pack is basically the CD, the shirt, a DVD of their performance at the Roseland Ballroom, and a CD of said live performance. Not bad, I guess I don't mind it being what would now be twenty days late if I got all of those goodies.

Aside from that, I have my weekend all planned out already. Michaela's birthday is next Monday, "the enemy" forgot her birthday, so I'm going to try to throw her a small party, even if it ends up being me and her in my room playing DDR and Soul Calibur II.

Aside from that, nothing else to report! I'll put up some pictures from the trip once I can bother with resizing them.
