The Weekend + My super powers

Well, my weekend wasn't that thrilling. But, I did get to hang out with some very cool people. :)

I watched The Dark Knight for the third time. I think that will be the last time I go to see it in the theaters. We played Ultimate Frisbee. I actually had a great time. People weren't douche-bags about me not being a perfect player. :) We ate at Cartucci's. It used to be my favorite restaurant and Joe and I used to go every weekend. It seems that the magic is gone. Our favorite waitress, Claudia, is no longer working there. The food was good, but not as magical as I remember. I guess all good things come to an end.

Someone got stung by a bee on Saturday. They had to stop playing afterwards. I do not have serious reactions to bee stings. It's just a simple "ouch!" and then some stinging for a few seconds and then I move on. I forget all about it. The past few people that I've seen get stung have been in pain after it, so I wonder if I just don't get hurt as much by it as other people. It's the same for mosquito bites. I itch right after the bite, but then I forget about it after a few seconds and the bump is gone within a few minutes. I know that is unusual, but I'm not sure about the bee stings. Am I super-immune to insects, or are people just wimpy??

I've tested out another thing in the past few weeks. When I was younger, I could not get poison ivy/oak no matter what I did. I could roll around in it and not have any reaction. I had heard that this could change as people get older. It hasn't for me yet. I still don't react to it. :)

So, apparently the only thing that can hurt me is the sun (damn evil thing) and spider bites. I've had a few spider bites that have made me pretty ill. Maybe I'm actually not as sensitive to those either... maybe those bites would have killed a normal human being. lol... Okay. So I'm probably not super-human, but it's still kinda fun to think about. :)

A wonderful birthday weekend...

Well, my birthday went swimmingly. :) I had a great time.

We played Mario Kart while we waited. Then we went to Portofino's for pizza. Brandon's car tried to kill me when we arrived at Portofino's, but I survived (my heel got caught on the seatbelt as I was getting out of the back seat and I fell out of the car in the least graceful manner possible... I halfway caught myself, but that just left my arms sore. I scraped up my elbow and banged up my knees pretty bad, but I'm okay). The pizza was good. Artichokes for me, of course. The company was great. Joe, Brandon, Walt, Nate, and Kelli went with me and then Philip and Richard arrived later. Then we wandered around Books A Million for a while, and then went bowling. I had mediocre scores, but I was pleased. We had a great time despite problems with our lanes and awful (NOT BOWLING) music. We went back to my house and played Mario Kart for a while. Then ppl left or went to bed and I played around with my new toy: a Kindle (see the link!). It's pretty cool. I really like having the actual book to put on my shelf when I finish reading it, but this is so easy and the books are cheaper and they're more earth friendly, I assume, since there is no need for paper. :) Anyway, I went to bed sometime after 4 AM when Joe finally made me. ;)

Yesterday I slept until 10:30 when the boys woke me up. I was not ready to be awake. I took a nap a little later. Then we went to Concord Mills to see The Dark Knight for the second time with Brandon, Walt, and Richard. It was even better the second time. I actually had tears running down my face at the end. Since I had already seen it once, I knew what was going on and I got to pay more attention to what was being said. It was beautiful.

Afterwards, we went to Steak and Shake and had shakes while we had nerdy conversation. :) I love my nerdy friends. Life would be so less entertaining without them.

We got home after midnight and then my neighbor insisted on talking to me for over half an hour. Then I couldn't fall asleep. Again. Needless to say, 6:15 came really quickly. At least my birthday weekend was wonderful. Thanks to everyone who was a part of it. :)
