So. Sunday morning. 5:25 A.M. my cellphone alarm goes off. I roll over and punch the shut-up button before it gets another chance to make that godawful noise that sounds like a car-alarm dying. Splashing water on my face in the bathroom, I pull my green hood over my head and ninja-stalked toward Mel's and Jeff's bedroom, and I gently shake awake Mel, and that's all I needed to do, then I slowly made my way downstairs in the pitch darkness, waited on the couch and tried my best to de-fog my head of sleep, clutching my permit and cellphone in both hands.
About 10 minutes later I'm at the Michael's parking lot, in the driver's seat, Mel in the passenger next to me as I stare out the dark rain-streaked window, hearing the soft throbbing of drops on the roof, one of Usher's song humming from the radio. "Geh." I rubbed my eyes and took a deep breath. "I look like I'm in jogging clothes."
"You wanna go jogging?" Melissa sarcastically remarked from her seat. I gave her a deadpanned look and released the emergency brake, stepped on the clutch with my left foot, the brake with my right foot and shifted from neutral to first, then checked my windows, adjusted the windshield-wipers to the max. Might as well get it over with. Once the clutch engaged, revved up to about 3 rpm, clutch-in, shifted to second, then to third, and we were outta there.
For about 20 minutes I practiced driving in the black Honda Acura, then I handed the honor back over to my sis, the headed for home. The sky was lightening moment by moment, and sis suggested we have pancake breakfast. It was too early in the morn in the summer for me, so that's why the name of the place seemed to have slipped my mind. "Wow, this is great."
Mel looked over at me as the waiter set down a cup of steaming hot coffee in front of me, then went away. "What?"
"It's great to be among my fellow citizens totally make-up less."
She only gave me a look that was half amusement, half ignorant as she perused the menu. MM, cinnama-sation!! LOL
...
So at around 12 to 1:00pm, there was a party that went on at the house, which was only supposed to be a 'lunch.' Yeah, a lunch that went on till about 5 in the evening. Peter, one of Mel's obnoxious but amusing friends, promised that if I remind him often enough, he'll get me a CD of Adobe Photoshop 7 if I so pleased. Free of charge hehe. Now our fridge is stuffed, just as I will be until it becomes unstuffed. Submitted some new stuff into DeviantArt. Next week we're planning to go to Mt. St. Helens.
;it's something sophiscated.
