All right, so I guess maybe people are wondering how my birthday went, since I haven’t posted since the day before it. The actual day of my birthday was slightly better then an average day :)… it was nothing amazing, but it was kind of cool. Basically the things of interest that occurred…. I got my cell phone in the mail that morning. That night, I went with Karissa and Jill and Clay to the church we’ve been attending to see a dramatist. It was pretty cool. Then afterwards I was hungry, so Karissa and I went to find someplace to eat… and Zack also came and met us there. It was enjoyable.

Saturday was the day of the thing which Karissa planned and kept secret from me for like a week. It ended up being a paint balloon fight. It was very cool, but rather cold for it… it was like mid-50’s…. and cloudy… and paint/water made it just that much colder :). But it was definately a good time. Then we rode back to school in the back of a truck. It was quite packed… but that was actually probably good seeing as it was cold and we were wet and we were in the bed of a truck. Oh, and we were under a sleeping bag 😉 I’m sure it was interesting to see for all the cars around us. But yeah… we all found it enjoyable. Then when we got back here at school, we went into the laundry room to eat cupcakes and stuff. Naturally, the group of people there being the people they are, it was not long until cupcakes were smashed into people’s faces. Also a fun time.

So that is all of the Karissa-planned birthday 😉 So naturally because it was very coolll…. even though I highly doubt she reads this since she is here… a huge thanks to her for making it a very cool day. And thanks also to Karen and Jill for their contributions… and to everyone else who came.

After that, we went to the Further Seems Forever concert at the State Theater in St. Petersburg. Now… the name of this venue completely throws you off from what it is actually like. Yes, at one time, is was a theater. However, it is now somewhat rundown, and there are no seats or anything in it. It is a very cool venue for a concert though, so it was somewhat of a pleasant surprise, to me at least ;). Let’s see… opening bands… first band was Salem. They were all right. Had a couple songs I kind of liked. Second band was… The Early November. I really didn’t like them that much, although most everyone else in our group seemed to like them better then Salem. Then a group called Elliott played. They were good, I definately liked them. Only one thing kind of annoyed me… that being the fact that their guitarist for some reason felt that it was necessary for him to smoke during the show… which was just kind of annoying to me. And then of course Further Seems Forever…. who were stinking awesome.

So naturally Saturday was a very cool day.

Yesterday was also really fun. After church and everything we (we being Jon, Karissa, and I) went to downtown disney and walked around and did stuff… and ate… and then went to a movie. We saw The Recruit, and it was very cool. I definately reccomend it.

Anyway, it was definately a good weekend. The best of this semester so far to say the least ;). Anyway, I’ll leave you with that for now. This post is quite long enough.
