My birthday party/family barbeque

So this is the tale of the day that was the best birthday party in the history of ever you have ever EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER heard of.
Let me start this story off. . . . . . . . . . .
So I was woken up from my bedroom at my grandma's house. Interuppting my dream about the military taking over our school, and the cat that thought she was a turtle, that saved the school. So while I was trying to commit my dream to memory I was walking groggily down the steps to the main landing. PANCAKES!! I was cutting my pancakes and the way that I was holding them was cutting into the tips of my fingers, and they made my fingertips red and they hurt. Once I finished I lay down on the couch to watch a little bit of The Price Is Right, then I rolled myself off and back upstairs to pack my stuff. We were leaving for the BBQ!
I was packed and headed out the door, while my aunt was driving me and my brother home where she would stay for the party. About half way there Noah and my aunt started talking about math, and me HATING math with a passion, proceeded to stick the other earphone in my ear, disgusted by the mere MENTION of math during the summer. We got home, and everything was being set up still, it was around . . . . I don't know . . . .1:13? My friends, Hannah, Emma and Alexis were supposed to be there at 2. I quickly changed my clothes and straightened my room up. Then Alexis called; "Where do you live again?"
"Um on F*** St."
"P***?"
No! F*** as in EFF."
"What street do we turn on?"
Uh, after you get passed the party store turn on C******, I think. Right Mom?? Yeah ok, do that."
Call ends. 10 minutes later. . .
"Can't you find the place?"
We're on T*****."
"Oh my GOSH. Where on T***** street?"
"I don't know!"
"That street is the longest street ever!"
"Ok, we just passed the church school."
"Alright! NOW I know where you are! Follow the same directions as before, ok? See you when you get here!"
Call ends.
Ok mom! They know where we are now.
Alright, now go stand in the street and wave your arms around so they know here.
Um, ok!
So Alexis gets to my place, and I'm talking to her and stuff. And 2 comes around, because Alexis was a smidgen early. And Emma pulls in.
OH MY GOSH! Haven't seen her since like last year!
So she comes out, I play it cool and casually make my way over to her to greet her, like a normal person. But you see, I'm not a normal person, and my hugs tend to crush people. Emma must have forgotten that.
As soon as my bare feet hit the pavement, I'm running towards her, hair streaming back, and I plow right into her. Bear hugging her as best I can with my total height of 4 foot 10. When she's like 7 foot 10. (That's barely an exaggeration. BTW) Pretty soon she's gasping for breath. So I release her, just to have Alexis shoot out from inside my house and do the same thing around Emma's NECK! I think Emma almost died that few moments. ;-)
Now we were just waiting on Hannah. So we got plates of snack food and took it to the back yard after I showed Emma my room and Noah's room and found the book on Abe Lincoln that my Oma (other grandma from Germany) wanted so bad. We found AN Abe Lincoln book and went to take it to her, but that wasn't the one she wanted, so we had to go on another hunt and finally found Honest Abe. So back to the present we are in the backyard snacking. Throwing grapes around and purposely emptying each other's SPRITE cans. ( Inside joke) When Noah and his friend Avery came down the hill and got some snack food too. But they had burgers, whoa, what?? They were ready?? FOOD!! We all ran toward the hill with our plates. I got a burger, extra pickle tastiness. When we got back down the hill EVERYONE was down there at our spot. Me, Alexis, Emma, Avery, Noah and my cousin Josh. But no Hannah. Throwing fruit, talking, creepy crawly bugs and Alexis flirting hard core with my cousin. Talk about weeeeiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrdddddddd. But soon sometime during the baseball games and the thousand talks about the Artemis Fowl books which Emma has fallen in love with as well, thoughts of Hannah kinda disappeared. Until I remembered and then I decided to call her. It rang and rang when I was about to hang up someone finally answered the phone.
"Um, hi, is Hannah there?"
"Nope she is not."
"K thanks."
But the line was already dead. Ok, didn't know what to make of that.
Then we played some more baseball, talked a little more about Artemis Fowl, googled Fred and watched some weird Fred videos.
Then we had a a water balloon fight. We were filling them up just girls, when Avery and Noah came along. Helped us, and then Josh came and squirted us all a LOT. We were no match for him. It was the clothed people against the bathing suit people.
TEAM ONE                 TEAM TWO
Bathing suits                   Clothed
Alexis                             Delaney
Noah                              Emma
Josh                               Avery

We spent like half an hour filling them all up. And then literally 45 seconds to have them all in pieces on the ground. Afterwards I opened up my presents, I got a fancy pair of earrings from Emma, lots of old named gum, and weird flavors of gum, which was what I wanted, no bacon flavored, which I suppose is ok, and an iTunes card, from Alexis I got a book that I saw at the bookstore when Alexis came with me, it's (get ready for this title) "The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma". It's 'bout to be good. I would wait until after everyone left to open the one from my cool Uncle Mike. (My other uncle's are cool, but I needed an adjective to put in front of uncle)
More baseball, and then it was time for everyone to go. First was my cousin, who I am probably likely to see again before school starts, then Emma(who I was sad to see go because I would miss our talks of Artemis Fowl(because she's the only other one that will listen to me when I drone on and on about how much I love it) for like the next year, or whenever I see her again. Which I hope will be soon), then Alexis(Who I almost crushed to death with her skinny self in a hug), and then Avery(even though I only knew him from seeing him around the elementary school for the carnival and other stuff he was a cool little dude).
Then everyone was gone, so I opened the one from Uncle Mike. Oh my gosh. Are you for real? Are you KIDDING me? Ha ha! Talk about coincidences. Oh my gosh. I will give you ONE guess what they were! One GUESS!
Eh, I'll tell you. They were  . . . . . . . . ..


















Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony
Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox

But they have cool covers. Finally that night, I danced around in my room because I was soooooooo happy!!!
