Oh my Goodness!  Yesterday was one of the best days ever!  It was so fun and awesome and educational I can barely stand it!!!  The day before wasn't bad either.  Allow me to start with Monday.

It all began with me calling Anna to tell her to do something with me.  We were going to get Britt to come with but she was with Mizzo so we couldn't really get a hold of her.  We decided to go to Chinese and had a great time of it.  Yay sesame chicken.  Later we went to downtown La Grange and saw The Interpretor.  It was a surprisingly good movie. 

Yesterday my mom and I picked up Anna to get our TB shot and go to our volunteer orientation at the hospital.  It turns out we can't start volunteering until next week because we waited too long to get our shot but that's okay.  When we finished with our shots we went outside to play a little tennis.  Let me explain something.  I can't play sports. I cannot run. I cannot jump. I cannot hit. I cannot aim. I cannot throw.  That's part of the reason why I am in band.  I dislike sports greatly because I can't do sports.  That day was different however.  I took the tennis racket and Anna told me that I should face my opponent, holding the raquet so that I can't see the face so I can go for it on either side.  She hit the ball to me and to both of our surprise, I hit it back over the net!!!  It was a beautiful thing!  I actually hit it!  It didn't even end there, either!!! On more than one occasion we hit it to each other 8 or 9 time in a row!  (Granted, they were spread out over 4 courts.)  It was wonderful!

We had a break between tennis game-like things and during it we read some 2 minute mysteries.  They were all dumb and the answers weren't anything you could convict anyone on.

After our Tennis and mysteries, Anna and I went inside and stayed in my mom's lab until lunch.  We filed a few cards for her and made fun of some people's names.  I think Elizabeth is the name of healthy people because we didn't come across any to be filed.

We went to lunch and had some unique conversations.  They were all about either dead people or always having your knife on hand.  Thanks, Dad.  I am truly inspired, now.

After lunch, we went back to my mom's lab and filled boxes with pipets for one of my mom's co-workers.  It was surprisingly fun. 

They had nothing left for us to do at the lab so my mom sent us rampaging around looking for a gift shop.  Anna decided that we should play cards and I thought SPOONS would be fun.  The only problem with that was that there were only two of us and it's not as fun with two people as it is with about a million.  We solved this issue.  Whenever someone got 4 cards, they had to sing "I'm a Little Teapot" whil the other franticly searches for 4 of the same card.  If they find it, they grab the spoon (or in our case, straw) and win that round.  It proved to be an awesome game!  We played a little more Tennis and then went inside to freshen up.  May I add that Anna is a wuss.  If you can't strip down in a women's wash room (And I mean take off your shirt to reveal *gasp* the tank top you're wearing underneath) and clean yourself off, well, I don't know... but it's still sad. 

Orientation started about 20 minutes late and there were a ton of people there. 

After Orientation, we drove Anna home and I sat down for a nice bowl of fried rice.

That is, until Brittany called asking if I wanted to go with her to the Drive-In (I had no idea it existed) to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Fantastic Four.  Obviously  I did so I went with her and her family to the drive in. It was great!!!  Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the best movie ever!  It was funny and smart and I loved it!!!  Watch it when you get the chance.

Fantastic Four, however, left much to be desired.  Yes they got their powers and that one guy wasn't very nice but why did he go evil?  The good guy didn't start spending extra time with the good girl until way after the bad guy went all weird.  It wouldn't have helped his company much anyway.  Oh, and for all of you who may wish to be supervillians, a few words of advice.

1.) At least go evil over something!  Lost love, you felt wronged by one of the heroes, you stubbed your toe, SOMETHING! 

2.) If you emerge from a garbage truck, You're probably not going to win.  It was true in both the movies I saw last night.  You cease to be even remotely cool when you jump out of a garbage truck, I don't care how rich you are.

3.) If you make a mask for yourself, you know you're crazy.  Now, it's okay for Batman and Spiderman, but that's about it.  I don't really consider them to be the most sane of people, either.  ("I have no powers but with my utilety belt, I can save the world and look good in spandex!"  "That's nothing!  I wasn bitten by a radioactive spider and instead of getting cancer and dying, I can climb walls!!!!")  Did we learn nothing from Hannible?  They don't get much crazier than that guy.  (Speaking of cannibles, there's an awesome line about it in Chocolate Factory!)

Note to movie makers.  Don't go "The End" and then go "Oh, wait, let's set up for the sequel first".  It's quite dumb.

Then I went home and immediatly fell asleep.
