HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIR-…

You get the point… Jen’s Birthday was this weekend… Lucky…

I’m not going to lie, it was pretty fun. Friday she went out with the girlies for her “Girls Night Out,” whatever that means. Evidently they Stitched and Bitched the night away. Which as I take it was relatively fun, so thats good for her. The guys and I went to check out the house and watched movies, but more on that later.

We celebrated Jen’s Birthday through Saturday night into Sunday afternoon. Saturday evening Jen’s cousin came over, and a sizable bunch of us wasted the night away playing Guitar Hero and Mario Party in a friend’s room. The next day Jen’s Mom and Dad came up from Waterboro, and we went out to lunch at Ichban’s (or something like that). Jen and I filled our cravings for Sushi, and then some.

I met Jen’s Mom a few weeks ago, but this was the first time I have ever met her father. He is a pretty nice guy. Jen’s Grandmother made her two skirts, and Jen’s mom bought her a few shirts and on sick pair of boots (thigh-high, stiletto, black). They also brought up all sorts of snack foods and goodies with them too.

I had heard a while back that Jen was really looking forward to the new DDR: Super Nova, so I got it for her (she’s a BIG DDR fan), as well as a loofah (a duck loofah), so she had one over here in Bell when long nights left her other one oh-so far away… They were both a hit. All in all I’d say it was a pretty good day…

In other news, the boys and I checked out “The House” this past Friday, and I’m not going to lie… It needs work. Not the, “Oh, lets paint the living room,” kind either. More like the, “We should call a wrecker,” kind… Everything is in workable shape. Just about every room needs a coat of paint, and a few doors need to be patched. Besides that, everything else is great… Except the kitchen…

The kitchen is bad-ass, its got an island in the middle, hanging ceiling fan, a telephone bar, fridge, stove, washing machine, the works, and its huge. However, its not done. It needs a new ceiling, a new floor, and the windows need to be finished (plus a little woodwork here and there), but I/we just couldn’t let that get to us… the rest of it is just too good a deal. It’s a three bedroom apartment, with a full bath, living room, sitting room, full kitchen and breakfast room (sun room). Plus a porch and a 6-8 car driveway (3-4 of those spots will be ours). It’s a mile off I-95 (about 10-15 miles north of school). It’s just nuts!
The landlord is Caleb’s brother, so no secrets there (he is a nice guy, not a dick), and the tenants upstairs are sorority girls (so they are pretty chill, and again, not dicks). Rent is $800 a month, which comes to about $267 per person a month, and if we agree to do work on the apartment (pretty much a given) he will drop it to $600 a month (all of this only because it is family).

So we signed up. There wasn’t really any other choice… I am sure you understand…

Finaly, I have my interview for Image Works tomorrow. Can’t wait. It’s at 13:00. I’ve been getting my paperwork together all afternoon. I’ve got a few more things to get from my mom, but I’m really excited…

Ok, Jen’s back, and its time for our HTML study session… God I love this girl.

PEACE!

PS: She’s sweaty… She took a moment to remind me of this fact with her FOREHEAD! Gah…
