i just love family parties. yesterday was JR's 13th birthday and once again my sister, brother, and i were in charge of the games. we thought we'd do something different this time so we made up a scavenger hunt. there were approximately 30 kids running around driving me nuts. i'm actually losing my voice from all the screaming. nevertheless, it was too funny. we had them embarassing themselves in front of relatives and family friends by singing n'sync songs, doing jumping jacks with their tongues sticking out, barking at JR's dog and telling my sister "your butt gets bigger and bigger every time i see you" all for the stupid passwords to continue to the next question. ahh yes, and we got it all on video tape.

not to mention we caught up with the extended side of the family whom we haven't seen in 11 years. i was talking with my aunt's brother-in-law cuz it seemed like no one wanted to hassle themselves trying to speak english straight to the only white man at the party. poor guy. anyway, his son's are hella fine! what do you expect... they're 1/2 white 1/2 filipino which means perfect skin, the best physical features, and all around gorgeous. they're only 12 and 11 years old and they've already got all these girls flocking to them. so anyway, as we were 'hangin with mr.cooper', my cousins decided to teach him nasty tagalog phrases to tell his wife tonight like "gusto ko cantoten ka" (i can't spell) which basically means "i wanna fuck you." it wasn't so much the phrase that cracked us up, but picture a middle-aged white man trying to conquer the filipino accent --> drunken, mind you.

so today i've dedicated this sunday afternoon to cleaning my dusty room (i'm allergic to dust). my windows were filthy and being the anal bitch that i am, i took the whole thing apart - sliding windows, screens, and all. bye bye, baby spiders ready to hatch from their pods. but wait! the outside of the window was full of crap so i went to the backyard to squeegie it. bad idea. on the way there i see that my dad's turned on the mist sprinklers. i couldn't find the switch to turn it off underneath all the bushes so i thought to myself, "fuck it. how wet could i get if i ran across?" i'm so stupid. i victoriously made it but as the pathway ended i realized the gate to the backyard was locked. so i'm standing there like an idiot happy that i made it across with minimum moisture, but eventually got drenched trying to unlock the damn gate. AGH!!!!!

all that just to clean my frickin windows.
