Today was my second to last day at home. I babysat Liam all day, and we had a lot of fun. We went to Chamblins to take in some books, and then we met up with Corbett for lunch at Chickfila. Yum. Liam and I went to Jungle Quest this afternoon, and that was so much fun. I have never been there but he goes a lot. It is mainly for kids so I was given funny looks. I didn’t care. I had so much fun hanging out with Liam. We went rock climbing and zip lining and whatnot. There was this little boy who was rock climbing with us, and I fell in love. His name was Alex and he is 6. He would race Liam and I to the top of the rock wall and even did it blindfolded with us. He was so cute. I wanted to tell hi parents I would be willing to babysit anytime but he disappeared while I was blindfolded at the rock wall. And that is saying a lot, coming from me. I hate children. But he was one of the most adorable things ever.
I spent the rest of the day packing. The End.

Day 94 - Rob, Inksmith, Heidi Montag, District 9, Little Sister
This morning Rob and I went to lunch (this morning?) at the Loop. As usual. He was going to get a tattoo today, and Eddy was going to do it, although Mike was using the table at Inksmith so we couldn’t. And Rob wanted white ink and Eddy didn’t think Rob fully understood what white ink looks like, but he did. Oh well. We left Inksmith, and went to Starbucks then his apartment. Where we beat each other up and read Heidi Montag’s terrible interview with Spencer in PlayBoy. The pictures were hilarious. I love her, just because I love to hate her so much. They are a weird group.
Once I got home I went with my mom and Liam to Publix, where I was beat up again, this time by Mikey and Liam who tag teamed me in the freezer aisle. I am going to have intense bruises on my arms tomorrow. The one that is already showing is from when I jumped onto Mikey to hug him and my arm hit his nose. Already tender and blue. Oh well.
Tonight I met Christina, my little sister for school. We met up at Starbucks in San Marco and just talked about school and Jacksonville and whatnot. We seem to be really similar and I m excited about this.
After I left San Marco I drove to Tinseltown and met up with Kevin and we saw District 9. I have heard so much about it being one of the most amazing movies ever, but I thought it was just really weird. I didn’t see how it was so amazing. It was alright. Once we left the theater we sat on my car and talked, and laughed at all of the hilariously awkward couples in the parking lot until we realized we were a part of it. There were these two horribly annoying girls running through the parking lot, obviously hiding from someone. They were running and yelling and being really obnoxious. Kevin wanted to shoot them with his paint ball gun. I encouraged him to do so, but he wouldn’t. Finally we realized that they were the third and fourth wheels on their friends date, and turned out it was this girl’s first date with this guy. It was a hilarious situation to watch unfold. We eventually left and got Icee’s. I usually don’t like having more than one Icee flavor at once, but Kevin made the most magical concoction. It was delicious. We went back to the Tinseltown parking lot so he could get his car. We sat there and talked, and we both fell asleep in my car. Not for very long, but it happened. I was exhausted.

Day 92 - Chrysler, Susan
This morning we woke up and first thing I called Apple to figure out what is going on with Jenn’s computer. The first woman we talked to had a serious attitude problem, and was not listening to me whenever I explained the issue. I feel like she finally got frustrated when I was equally rude to me, as she hung up. We called back and got a different woman, who was very nice, but dumb as a brick. So in the end we figured nothing out.
We got dressed and went to the Chrysler. On the way we were hungry so we caved and went to McDonalds for a delicious happy meal. As we were leaving we both turned to throw away our trash, and sitting right there was the most hilarious yet adorable sight I have ever seen. A homeless looking black man, eating a vanilla ice cream cone. He stopped dead when we turned, and his face looked like he had been caught doing something wrong, yet to innocent at the same time. And there was ice cream on his mouth, in his beard, and on his nose. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I was laughing so hard I had to run outside and spit out the sip of soda I had taken before I turned and saw him. It was adorable.
We got to the museum and it was amazing. There was an Egyptian exhibit, amazing contemporary art, Japanese prints, and so much more. I loved the Chrysler.
Tonight Jenn and I went to Susan’s house for dinner. Ashley was supposed to come but she didn’t feel well. Susan and her daughters are so sweet. And I am really glad that Jenn gets along with them so well. Spending time with Jenn and her dad and Susan has made me realize how crappy my relationship with my dad is. Jenn and her dad are best friends, and Susan texts Jenn just to say hello. I didn’t even have my dad’s fiancé’s number until recently, and when I called her trying to find my dad she had no clue who I was, even after I said “Its Kate.” Ugh. Oh well.

Day 91 - Mall, Unpacking, Dinner
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.
