Why be Normal?

I went to the show at Crapo park today!

Saw Brandon for the first time in like a week,
Dude, I know you like your solitude and Schupick, but I like sharing! Share yourself! It’s entirely different than selling.

Totally forgot that him and Alden knew each other til we were standing in front of the bandshell observing Lauden.
Who cracks me up by the way, without even saying a word to me.
his persona is like, geeky goth kid, thats actually very talented at his guitar, rather friendly, and kinda funny. He was on stage jamming metal by himself, while its all bright and sunny and green outside, his expression making it seem he were staring down a thunderstorm. And his brother Rochne’s a character as well. Avoids the sun. Does not prefer pants.

After the second band Alden and I went hiking in Crapo. I discovered a way to climb down the waterfall! We were gonna go to the river beach, but people were camping! so we stood a ways down the a bank just lookin at the river, when a boat starts approaching us and we realize its the DNR. I swear, the Dicks Never Rest. :P
Actually he just thought we were fishing and we were like….no.

Then we got back to the bandshell just in time for me to drive to work.
I had a lot of friendly entertaining customers today.
Some lady gave me a taste of her herbs.
Sweet Itailian Basil.
Smells delicious.
And Adam told me about a 20$ Blink 182 concert in Chicago in July,
so I’ll pry go to that if I can plan my trip to Madison around it.

Then after work we made funfetti cookies with strawberries on top at Alicia’s.
Jackie and ber boyfriend Brock were in town so they came too. Alicia had left to pick up Ashley, so it was just me, Brock and Ellen, and I started throwing cheese balls to Ellen and failing miserably, so right as I was sweeping them up Alicia’s parents come home from the movies and are like, “Audrey, what are you doing?”

I get that from time to time.
:P

I do most of my reflecting driving home at night.
Fortunately now that I have my contacts back, that’s safer.

Tonight, I’d just dropped Ellen off at her house, and I thought,
…I see this girl everyday, I’m pretty sure I know her face better than mine.
You know your friends a lifer
when you see their face more often than your own.
I love how my group of friends feels like a family, and how other groups we’re friends with are just like, extended family. And a few times a year we have the equivalent of Christmas, usually camping, and everyone gets together.

We can be dorks together, take risks together, be creative together.
And we make sure everyone gets fed.

Take today for example:
Brittany and Ellen came by as I got off work at Sarducci’s and we share breadsticks and Mountain Dew.
I was supposed to go home,

but fortunately we witnessed a Chinese fire drill.
Then we discussed whether they were illegal or not,
and concluded that, because they park in a moving lane of traffic,
then yes they were.
Next question: Can they be done without parking?
We decided to go to the park and try it out.

Ellen and I stopped by Family Video on the way to return a movie,
and noticed that eggs at Walgreens were 99 cents.
“Dude, eggs are 99 cents!”
“We should get some and throw them at random stuff out in the country!”
(somehow color got in the conversation)
We were gonna put food coloring in the eggs and throw them at our canvass and see what happened.

On the way to the check out, we ran across some fedoras, and we tried a bunch of them on and took pictures because they had some ridiculous patterns, making an old guy laugh at us so he pointed out the truely stylish ones.

To the park!

Not parking and running around the car was possible,
but we kept ending up in different seats, so we decided to keep drilling
til we all got in our original spots.
Of course, on the third try,
I accidently left the car in reverse.

Which made climbing back in a lot more suicidal,
and it was veering off the road, so I lept in and slammed on the brakes
just as Ellen was leaping into the passenger side,
sending her into the seat and shutting all the doors.
No one was harmed in the making of this video.
Do not try this at home.

Then we went to my house and experimented with the eggs, which was a surprising success! Do try!

(Look at the my next post to see how it went down.)

So then while taking Ellen home, the night was as written below:

A sharp crescent moon hung low in the sky,
tufted tops of grass stems swinging silhouetted beneath it,
and the stars were sprinkled above.
The fog laid as low as the grass stood tall on either side of my lane,
creating a corridor of white mist and green foliage,
the eyes of a fox glowing in its distance,
then disappearing.

I don’t think many people understand how much I mean what I say.

(Note old as dirt half nude guy tanning under Brit’s chin…
we decided to try this picture again.)

:P
Magickers we be.

on Full Throttle. Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

-We realized many of us dont really remember meeting Bre. She must’ve just been hanging around and decided to stay :)

-Brendon’s car has removable doors in its roof. That’s hatchbacks for yah.

-*Kyle’s under my car, attempting to remove something*
“Brendon get me the 3/4 or the 15”
“Where are they?”
“In a box over there”
*Brendon surveys the garage, which like any garage, also doubles as storage*
“In a box?”

-“Audrey, let Bruce off his chain.”
“Yay Bruce!”
*Bruce is sitting on top of his dog house, panting expectantly. The second I remove the chain, he leaps down and somehow manages to run and pivot in place three times and then shoot up the hill to Kyle like a wind up toy*

-*I walk up to Brendon and stand under a leaf I just picked from the neighbors unkept yard*
“Dude that leaf is huge!”
“I know it’s the fuckin’ Amazon over there!”
*Brendon looks*
“Duuude it is!”

-Use rhubarb leaves instead of fig leaves if you wish to provide full coverage.

-Bruce has the smile of a clown.

- Kyle: “Ope, guys, now I have a mustache.”
*I look under car*

“My car gave Kyle a dirty sanchez!”
*I pull out my camera…*

-Kyle and Bre stalk everyone and their cars

-Kenny made dirt cups. Pretty dirt cups. In “ramakins”.

-Gummy worms make for interesting ammo. I managed to hit a truck in the opposite lane and get one stuck on the back of a car next to me.

-Brit + Baja Blast Mtn, Dew = uncontainable laughter she must hide with her hand becuase she “can feel her face making this ugly thing…”

-Kenny was “mocking” evertone’s “phrases”

-I almost got raped by a teeter-totter

-Ellens cat is a ninja. I’ve never seen anything elses head move so quickly

I would cry all night long.

And I prefer sleep.

So you know that dinosaur skull call in Jurassic Park III?
That’s what it sounds like when I cough really bad.
Only way less prehistorically badass.
