convention get together

last friday, we miskin youths (at least, gordon and i) had a whole buncha people over. namely, people who went to convention with us last year. convention is a long story, i'll save that for another rainy day.
so to remember good times, we had a get together at our place on friday. we had about 12 people over, if im not mistaken. the shindig started at 2:30 on friday afternoon, and we estimated that it would end at about... oooh... 7:30.
so the fun got underway. people started arriving, and things started going. first, the guys played some computer games and such, and the women (the girls, including me...:D) went and prepared food for the mongolian barbeque we were going to do later. i had to boil about three tons of egg noodles.. woohoo. the rest of the girls cut up veggies and stuff... and raw chicken.
after that was all done, everyone decided the pool looked extremely inviting, and alas, no one had any swimming attire with them (except lydia who was sleepin over, and me and gordon, coz we live here..:D) then corrine and marni could take it no longer, and they borrowed a shirt from morgy each, and went flying into the pool. that opened the floodgates, of course, and soon every time i blinked, some guy would run past in a pair of gordons shorts... i had to rub my eyes out to make sure i wasnt seeing things...
anyhow, after a swim, we all got out the pool and went to make ourselves supper. it was a good time. we all had to grill our own food... poor emile was last in line. so long was he in line, in fact, that he ate all his raw green and red peppers. he didnt want raw chicken on his plate because of some bacteria that would infect his plate... emile is very clever. and very cool...
anyway, then we chillaxed and later we watched a movie... everyone left at 12:15 or so. now, pics.

since then, we've just been going to school and having a blast at school. at least, i have. school is soooo much fun. i have lots of friends this year, in contrast to last year, when i was still mopey, boring and weird...;) this year is cool. i hang out with lydia, and she DEFINITELY makes school as much fun as it is. without her i wouldnt have NEARLY as much fun as i do. honestly. otherwise, im friends with ethan, and nathan. and emile. and zacki, who is extremely cool. and a whole bunch of people.
nothing HILARIOUS and funny has happened as of late, but i thought to myself today "my poor readers... suffering because of my long sojourn in the land of silence. its about time i went to lift their spirits and post on something... if not funny, then at least it will be a post"
and LO AND BEHOLD!!! i come to my site, and the only new comment is a plea from the very heart of erika "UUUPPPPDATE!!!!"
so here you go, erika.
and the rest of you.
tara for another month or so... KIDDING!!! sooner than that i hope...
