"She will not like it because they are not pants."

Friday was Alex's birthday, so I decided to throw him a surprise party. Now, with his awesome perception, I didn't think it'd be much of a surprise, but he claims to have been very surprised when I ushered in a bunch of his friends. The party went well, overall. We sat around and talked; ate ice cream, Oreos, and pretzels; Deet and Alex tried to jam; and we watched Big Fish, which is a very appropriate movie for Alex's birthday. For presents, I gave him "Guess How Much I Love You," a book of Sherlock Holmes stories, a Tom Waits shirt, a Levenger fountain pen, and some ink to go with it. He liked all of the presents... especially the Catholic school girl outfit I wore that night after everyone left... *shifty eyes*

Saturday we traveled to Alex's home where we had Alex's birthday dinner party with his family. He got a 160G iPod, so now he can carry ALL of his music around with him. Sunday he had to work the afternoon shift, so his mom and I went to church and went out to eat. I got to do homework and play with the kitties when we got back. I really wanted to clean the pile next to his bed, but he said I'm not allowed because one of my birthday presents is somewhere in there. I made his bed instead. I had dinner with his parents before he got home from work and we watched Sin City before going to bed.

This morning was fun fun. Not. I got a ride with Mr. Moore and Zachary to CCAC, but we didn't get there in time for me to catch the 67A to Oakland. I wound up taking the 77B with Nik (we met at the bus stop and he got off the bus before me) to the top of Craig and walked as quickly as possible to my art class. I made it just in time with all of my stuff. We have a test in that class on Wednesday, so she let us out a bit early and I was able to get to Japanese in time for once. I actually think I did well in Japanese today. I got a B on my oral midterm, though. :(

This week is Alex's Spring Break, and mine is next week, which is pretty lame, but I'm sure I'll get to see Alex a few times this week at least. I need to get the recommendation letters back from Dr. Gareis and I need to finish my essay so I can turn in my Ritsumeikan application. At least I have everything else.

To explain the journal title: Alex said this to me when he was half asleep. He was talking about the present hidden in the pile. So cute. <3
