This morning we slept in entirely too long. Once we were up and dressed we went to TCC to meet with Jenn’s adviser. Everyone there was either black or crippled. It was really weird. If there was a white person, they were on crutches. Without fail. We were there for a few hours while Jenn took a placement test and met with an adviser who was of no help at all.
We went to the mall, had lunch and looked around for a bit. Mainly looked for friends. Fail.
Once we got back to her house we went to Target where Jenn bought the majority of the hangers they sold, then met Susan and her daughters for dinner with Jenn’s dad.
We came back to her Dad’s house and hung clothes and unpacked for 4 hours. Progress.

Day 90 - Norfolk, South of the Border
This morning I woke up at like 5:00. Which is very uncharacteristic. Jenn picked me up a bit later and we got all ready to drive up to Norfolk. First we had to go by Mike’s house so that she could get her charger and then back to her house to pick up a few things. We hit the road and I promptly fell asleep.
We drove until South of the border, where we got out and explored. I found the Charles Trippy CTFxC thing, and took a picture, feeling very lame as I did so. But whatever. We went into the little shops, and went to the top of the huge sombrero. It was fun. After that we got back in the car, got some lunch, and spent the rest of the drive listening to Disney music and whistling along until we were light headed. And then I fell asleep for a bit.
When I woke up we were in Jenn’s dad’s driveway, but neither he nor his girlfriend were around to let us in. He rents the back apartment to this girl named Ashley who is just a bit older than us, and she is really nice. She let us in and we hung out with her for a bit in her apartment and watched TV and talked about fun stuff to do up here.
Once Susan came over and unlocked the house, we spent a while unloading most of Jenn’s things out of her car. And now there is just a clusterfuck of stuff on her bedroom floor. We are going to bed in a minute.

Day 89 - Arlington, Evan
Today was a very lazy day. The only productive thing I did during the day was to take stuff to be embroidered in Arlington.
Tonight I hung out with Evan one last time. Our similarities are getting to be quite scary. What did I wear? White BDG pants, black BDG v-neck. What did he wear? Black pants. White BDG v-neck. It’s a problem. I have realized that each time we hang out we are dressed similarly. We just smoked hookah and talked about school and Pokémon and music. And it was nice. He goes back to school tomorrow morning, and I will be heading to Virginia to help Jenn get all moved in.

Day 88 - Mall, Rock Climbing, Jenn
Today was Ashley’s last day visiting. First off we went to the Y to go rock climbing, but there were camps going on. So instead we went to the town center to kill some time before going back. We went by Anthropologie so that she could return some stuff she bought that didn’t fit, and I returned the amazing plaid shirt I bought the other day since it was broken. Very sad. And of course they didn’t have my size so I settled for yet another BDG V-neck. I have a problem. I own almost every color.
We went back to the Y and went rock climbing for a few hours. Ashley is afraid of heights so it was fun trying to get her to push her limits and make it up to the top. She didn’t today, but maybe next time. SWEBOP goes every Friday, so we want to start getting more involved with that. I bruised the bone in my pinky finger the other night at the show when some guy hit me. And it has been uncomfortable even when moving it, but today it was in agony trying to hold on for dear life. Oh well.
After rock climbing I took her to the Loop for lunch, then we went to Peterbrooke so that she could buy some chocolate. We took the long way home so that Ashley could see some of the old houses in Avondale and old Ortega. On the way back Corbett called to go to lunch, but he just followed me home instead and hung out for a few minutes while Ashley packed. Ashley and I headed to the airport, and I dropped her off. I did pretty much nothing else all day. Just relaxed and hung around the house. Went with Jenn to Target and Zaxbys. The End.

Day 87 - Ponte Vedra, Kickbacks, 500 Days of Summer
We went out to Ponte Vedra and spent the day laying out by the pool, enjoying some margaritas. And of course getting sun burned. My face is pretty red, but Ashley has the most amazing sunglasses tan ever. It’s not bad at all, and it should fade by tomorrow, but you can see the line.
We met up with Jenn and took Ashley to Kickbacks. Then we went to see 500 Days of Summer in Orange Park. It was so good. Although it was a direct copy of Jenn’s life, so that was kind of weird.

Day 86 - Fox, Art Market, JMOCA, Cummer, Shai Hulud, SATURDAY
Today was far more eventdul than yesterday, thank god. We woke up and went to get breakfast at the Fox. On the way there we stopped and saw Jenn at Casablanca. I have never been there. She gave us the tour. Then we went to Breakfast, and saw Amber slaving away back in the kitchen. Didn’t get to say hello. From there we went to the Art Market. It keeps getting worse and worse. There is less art and more children’s clothing. It is really disappointing. We did meet this one really nice artist, Jay Negron, who had some amazing charcoals. After we walked around the art market for a bit we went to walk around Five Points. Took Ashley to Edge City, Clothing Warehouse, Anomaly, and Wolfgang. I bought an amazing dress at Wolfgang. We left 5 pts and went to JMOCA. I haven’t been there in a while. There had a huge Rosenquist that was amazing.
This afternoon we also went to the Cummer, and we sat in the garden and painted for over an hour. It was a nice day. We came home, showered, and went to dinner with my mom and Jenn at Timiquana. Then Ashley, Jenn and I went to the Pit to see the Shai Hulud show. Colton was there, of course, completely wasted, of course. Therefore more Colton Words of Wisdom came out of his mouth. He is one of the funniest people I know. At one point during the show we were outside ad we were dancing, ballroom style. I said, “Colton why didn’t you dance with me at my prom?” And he put his hands on his hips and stood in the gayest way possible, then said, “Kate, a lot has changed since your prom. I’m a man now.” It was the funniest thing ever.
Saw Kevin also. And Stamps. And a lot of people I did not care to see, including Justin Jarrell. Ew. During one of the bands I was sitting outside with Colton and Stamps and Ashley, and this girl runs by, and just starts hitting this other girl and pulling her hair. It was like the third fight that night. But, since it was a girl fight, no one broke it up. Kevin ran after then taking pictures. It was hilarious. The whole time they were fighting Colton was jumping around yelling, “It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday!!” Overall it was a hilarious night.

Day 85 - Mall, Ugly Truth
This morning we woke up and my mom had laid out breakfast for us. Cereal and fruit and whatnot. Yummy. Then we got dressed and headed to the town center. Ashley unfortunately has no Anthropologie in Virginia Beach so we spent quite some time there. And Urban. Of course. We met up with my mom, Granny, and Marsha and had dinner at Maggiano’s. Then back to Anthropologie. Of course.
Tonight we saw the movie The Ugly Truth. It was just one of those movies that made me hate my life. But it was really good.
