They Should Be No Different

This day started off early with a car wash. It was something I enjoyed very much, as lazy as I may have been. I remember my greatest efforts being put towards my very first car wash 3 years ago and that was it. Every year, I leave it to the rookies to get the job done, but at the same time making sure somethings actually being done. For the majority of the car wash, I hung with Ana, Deejay, Emily, and Doug. We've determined Doug to be getting Coolest rookie this year! I personally felt very content inside to have spent the morning chilling with people I have been so distant from this entire year. I didn't feel the least bit awkward; I just felt like myself and I liked that feeling. Afterwards, I stuck with Ana because I had no ride. Emily, Ana, and I went to the music store on Washington to buy a capo, where we encountered the weird owner who gave us a bargain without us even bargaining. Dropping off Emily, we went back to Ana's house where we just chilled in the basement as she practiced her performance for Deejay's ma's surprise party. We also tried to play variations of Happy Birthday : acoustic, rap, slow, fast, etc. It was mucho fun :)

Later at 5PM, I headed to Vicky's Sweet 16 Party at her house. At first, I debated whether or not I should go, but I've been really learning to "take initiative" in my life. I was afraid that not knowing anyone would make me feel a bit awkward, but I went anyway, finishing the birthday card along the way. I had a good time tonight. It wasn't all out fun, but I couldn't help but feel good at the thought of how I pulled through. If I hadn't gone tonight, I wouldn't have become more acquianted with people in my grade through many games of Rock Band. I would have been wondering now "what if?". I would be curious if I missed something great. I've come to realize that parties now should be no different than they were in Elementary School. Sure, you didn't know anybody that well there, but you went anyway for the sake of having fun and meeting new people. This weekend's a busy one and I honestly can't wait to see a familiar face on Monday morning. :) Photo is of the Car Wash.
