Is this something you can share with the rest of us, Amazing Larry?

So I thought I’d attempt to write an entry even though I’m exhausted and sunburn.
So yeah defiantly am having a f-ed up sleeping cycle but I can’t help it if I wake up at 6:30 am and then want to nap when I get home. And it also doesn’t help that roommate/bf also keeps ungodly hours with working on engineering stuff until 5 am.

So yesterday was Ryan birthday. Woot. Go Ryan, 23 is I imagine unimpressive and lame. But for his birthday we did go bowling which was great to play in real life instead of with a Wii. And I had made Ryan a big chocolate chip cookie that said “Happy Birthday Ryan, you’re 23! So here’s a giant cookie.” I hope it’s not too crunchy, I had to bake it long enough so it wouldn’t break as soon as I tried to get it off the pan. I like birthdays a lot, I wish more people made a big deal about them. It’s the ultimate personal holiday. But I understand that it’s hard to fund a big great birthday- but usually anything/ something is better than nothing on your birthday (or at least for MY birthday it is- or else you'll hear about it).

And so today is (soon to be was) Matt’s birthday! His parents came down which is always an experience. We went to the Illini Football game- amazing game. We beat Wisconsin who is ranked #5 in the country. So in short- Ron Zook is a Zeus and the players are deities of the pigskin. It was a lot of fun although it was hotter than ball sacks. And we got sunburn, but only on one side of our faces. It was so exciting and it’s dad’s weekend here at U of I so there were dads everywhere and the marching band spelled out dad and the cheerleaders' dads were dancing during half time too. It was just dad-cute all over. I called my dad at halftime to tell him to watch because he gets so excited over football and that was the extent of my celebration for dad's weekend.
But I digress, Matt’s birthday gifts from me included 1) a new watch! More grown up than his little digital one he’s had for probably 10 years. 2) cookies! I made matt some chocolate chip and pecan cookies (really for him and his parents to have during their visit). His parents brought lots of stuff for both of us- a new gas grill to cook on- which is awesome and makes me wish it was the beginning of the summer. They brought some kugel- a type of noodley Jew food. I don’t know what was in it but it ain’t bad! They brought a lot more food. I love it when parents visit and they bring or buy you paper napkins and like plastic silverware, as if we are constantly picnicking or hosting barbeque parties. His parents are the ones who got us the football tickets and they also went to the hockey game (I stayed home and took a much wanted nap instead of going to the hockey game because I know that the team we were playing were not very good therefore making the game less interesting). Other than that we’ve been sitting around our apartment and watching even more sports on tv (I don’t know how men do it- watch various sports all day, “It's like you're unraveling a big cable-knit sweater that someone keeps knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting...”)

And now I just spent 10 minutes reading all the Pee wee’s Big Adventure movie quotes. I love that movie I want it on dvd, even though it’s on tv every other day. Oh I bought jungle book on dvd- it’s maybe my second favorite Disney movie...maybe.

Oh I also dyed my hair dark brown, its real dark; darker than I thought it’d be but I like it. I would just be nice if the weather was cold so I could wear it down for a change and show it off.

Tomorrow is going to be a long one. Lots and lots of pet sitting jobs which is fine because all the pets are nice and sweet and a delight. Just waking up at 6:30 am is no delight.
