drunkrussian's Journal: Fun Evening

Well, this evening was fun, if a little strange.

After work, I knew I would have to fend for myself, as far as dinner went. Eating alone sucks, so I called all my friends to see if they were there. Nobody answered except James, who said he could probably make it. On a hunch, I drove past Madeline's house and saw her and her mom sitting out back, thus being away from the phone. So, I called up to them on their deck, asking Madeline if she wanted to go to dinner with James and me. Instead, her mom (or I, depending on who you listen to) ended up inviting us all for dinner there.

After picking up Tim (who finally answered his phone) and an audio tape, we drove back and met up with James, who had walked over (impressive, Airborne Ranger!). Dinner was good. We watched Strong Bad cartoons. Then the shaver came out. We shaved my left sideburn and James's right, Tim's left arm, the tip of Madeline's hair, and Phil (Madeline's brother)'s leg. We were way too obsessed with that thing. This turned into a game of pen-throwing, followed by bottle-kicking, at which point we decided it would be a good idea to go outside and play soccer in the dark.

So, we had some fun there...it turned into a serious contact sport, complete with punching, kicking, and martial arts moves. And for everyone who wasn't James, there were bum rushes and tackles. It was entertaining. Madeline (wisely) decided not to play, so she shined a flashlight on the ball for the rest of us.

An entertaining evening, for sure. Now I just have to scramble to get all my homework done. Sigh.
