Went off to the mall with my parents 10ish am, where I got a few books and a necklace. Then we went to the Olive Garden (mmmmmm). I got another book, some peanut butter cups, a t-shirt, and matching butterfly hair clip, earrings, and "invisible" necklace. =) Then left for Rumsey.
Remington's presents...One of them I'm not going to mention here. The mentionable ones were boots and a dress- the dress he and Zoe liked me in in Capitola, surprise! Zoe gave me a moonstone choker (mmm, moons), Jessica got me a book (see her entry for more about it, I'm attempting brevity), some frog soap (hehe) from Bill and Melissa.
Went on the trampoline (in a skirt!) a few times. The first time I went on with him and it was fun (well, we were holding on to each other, which helped), the other time he was hopping over me practically, and I kept falling down. Not the best idea to go jumping in boots, I think, as now I've really screwed up my heel (big blister, ugh). Also went on it this morning, and now my leg hurts. I'm just a walking injury pit. Make that "limping."
There was quite a lot of trampoline activity going on, as well as odd female personal conversations, which I am not going to repeat. I will say though that things got "outed" about me that I uh, would have preferred not to be outed. I was uh, rather amazed that one person knew something about me that I certainly had never mentioned to her...loose lips sink ships around here?
Zoe was apparently having issues again with him giving me more attention (I don't think he did that that much, but I guess no one agrees with me), and they went into the bedroom- alone- to uh, work stuff out. Not that I found this out until later that night. I just was somewhat bugged...especially since she'd been going on about how she didn't want him and me going off alone together, and I said I woudln't do that. Ugh. But...whatever.
I told him it was my best birthday...he really liked that =) Blew out all the candles on the cake, then hung out on the trampoline that night (people lying around on it talking) for hours. Late that night a bunch of Berkeley people showed up, which was also quite interesting.
Remington got really drunk. He was having some long conversation with Sarah, and then was going on about how well, guilty he felt about doing that or something. He was half incoherent, so that obviously didn't help things. He was grabbing drinks a lot and coming on to a few guys...I told him he was turning into Sarah. (For the record, Sarah was VERY good last night. Not drunk! Yay!). Zoe and I hauled him into bed, and were attempting to put him to bed, when he asked her to open the window. She did...then he ran over, poked out the screen and puked. And I ran out of the room (I can't stand looking/smelling/hearing/anything to do with barf). Zoe cleaned it up instead, as it didn't bother her. See, some things are quite good about this arrangement. Then we put him to bed.
Here's the part where we got really evil, but it was funny...various people were coming into his room to check on him, and someone got the idea to take a picture of him in bed with Kalina (she snuck in, posed dramatically, and left). Then we had Chris (Christy's boyfriend...uh, slightly weird guy) pose in an even more uh, shocking position. Then Lynn pointed a rubber band gun at his head. Then Christy and Chris and I posed in the bed. Basically we had half the party in the room laughing, and he never knew it...hehehehehehe. (No, he isn't sure what exactly went on last night. We figure he'll be surprised by the pictures.)
Zoe is now having a party next weekend, and invited everyone to it. And guess what, I told my parents I'd come home next weekend. UGH. I don't know what I'm going to do. She'll cry and whine and guilt-trip, probably. Her anniversary, b-day and Mother's Day are within two weeks of each other. (sigh.)
Went to brunch at Lyon's with most of the Berkeley contingent and a few Davis folks, then they dropped me off (which incidentally wasn't mentioned to me until we were in the car- "so, we're dropping Jen off?" I hate when they do that.) She's going to Berkeley tonight to be with Damon (her other, rarely-seen-these-days boyfriend). Which sorta gives me the willies, but I won't get into it. Am annoyed though that Remington didn't mention getting together with me after she leaves. Okay, so that would be tacky, but still, I'm wondering what's going to go on. I don't like that kinda wondering. Well, I'll be okay if I hear from him after she leaves. But if I don't or he's not home or something, I'll probably get all annoyed. Oh joy. Have to wait around on IRC 6ish to see if he shows (sigh).
And I still have to call Mom tonight.
And I'm very tired.
Oh, and just tn answer your question, Jess: I was happy with Rem, and I did like the book.
7 p.m. I was just having bad vibes.
I used to have feelings about things...instincts about what would happen and the like. But they went away around the end of high school and didn't return.
Till today.
I fell asleep, still feeling somewhat funny regarding Remington and Zoe...woke up 6ish feeling bad about things. I originally thought it was about Remington that I felt bad...but I called his place after Zoe was supposed to leave (around 6:40) and she was still there, said that she was really sick. The vibes did not let up. Maybe I felt a bit worse.
Anyway, she called me again around seven, wondering if she should go to a doctor...yes, definitely, if she's been sick for two weeks and it seems to be getting worse. Actually, the bad vibes started to feel better after determining that. She wasn't real sure about her ability to drive...or stand up...but is insisting on going to work tomorrow and leaving Davis at six a.m. Ugh. She asked if I'd been expecting to see him tonight and I said "I really had no idea." Still don't. Actually she said I could go over there and hang out with them tonight, maybe go off with him if she needed to sleep. Something like that. Well, then she got off the phone to call a doctor. Now I'm just waiting around here worrying. Ugh. And I get to do that till she gets back from the doctor's ...that could take hours. I should have said to call me back or something. Ugh. Actually what's weird is that I want to go along with them to the doctor's...yeah, like there's a point to that...but my motivation is not to follow him around this time, it's 'cause I'm worried about her. Hmmmmmm. But that's really silly to do, beg to come along.
9 p.m. Well, Remington came on line, said she's at the doctor's. Unfortunately he said she sounded as if she wanted to cancel getting together tonight. Damn. Not happy about that. But then again, what can I do? Anyway, I'm just bummed. Ugh. Ugh. I told him not to call me unless a get-together is going to go on, so I don't get my hopes up. Although at this point it's probably too late (sigh). I am very bummed.
But Mom did ok going to the party. Without giving me a whole load of crap either. Which is good.
I'm just not going to be in a good mood tonight.
