karenormaking my flag cake for le 4th...i was doing it before it became the in thing to do, i'll have you know...waiting for the cake to cool and the whipped topping to defrost. la la la.
mom is in high freakout mode, as expected. i'm hiding in my room as much as possible.
trying to convince danni to come see fireworks with me tonight, since all the rest of my friends are losers and aren't interested. danni claims he is tired. 10 in the morning, he's tired--take a freakin nap, there won't be fireworks till 9m, at least. sheesh. there's this church that usually does them at the far north end of the valley, but you gotta go up in the hills to see them well...last year jessica and i found this bridge thingy over a gorge of some sort, leading from the street to a gated community and it was great cuz there were no trees in the way...i have to find out if the church is still doing them. when i was younger, a country club right by my house used to do them every year, so we never had to go anywhere, but then they stopped abruptly...but either last year or the year before, i think they did them randomly. in any case, can't count on them. and the local community college used to do them every year, and that was great, cuz they are pretty centrally located (in the flat valley) so you could be far away and still get a good view...they stopped a few years ago too. it's getting harder and harder each and every year (smacks that Sublime song out of head). anyhoo. i've got to try to make danni go. also there's supposedly this party that i'm supposedly invited to (indirectly), so i don't know if i'll go. Paul always had the best parties, cuz he keeps in touch with everyone, at least nominally, and everyone i've ever known is usually there. but i don't remember exactly where he lives, and i'm not calling him, so...
i've got that one kate bush song (on Hounds of Love, don't know what its called) that goes "every time it rains, i've got you here in my head" in my head, and its been there since i woke up...i wonder if tori took inspiration from it.
i SO need a shower, but should wait till after i decorate the cake...which incidentally, there is no room in the fridge for. blah.
hope everybody's day is going well...
yay America. or something...
