I'm Really Glad I Went!

Zack's party was so much fun! I'm glad I decided to go, 'cause if I didn't I would've missed a lot. I think there were 14 people there- let's see... lol. Me, Danielle, Laurel, Sabrina, and sara (*_*) were the girls, and then for the guys there were Zack (obvisouly), Nick, Michael, Austin, Kameron, Connor, Teagan, Blake,Stevie, and Tommy came later, after his swim meet. And he came in his speedo. We were all like "Come on Tommy! Put some more clothes on! We don't need your speedo pics in our heads!" Lol.

When I rang the doorbell (Well, actually, mom rang the doorbell. I was about six feet behind her, having a heart attack from nervousness...) the dog (I don't know which one...) came to th edoor, and Sammy took both dogs and put them in a room. And I really appreciated that :). I felt bad, though, because they were locked up all night... But Mr. & Mrs. Sokolowski were really nice and said they were ok in their room.


Sabrina and I tried to stay dry for as long as possible. Which didn't really happen :). We were getting splashed and hit by water balloons, so we both ended up taking our shirts off. (We had on our bathing suit!) In the beggining, I tried to stay dry for my glasses, because once I got wet, my glasses would not be able to be seen through. Even though they would be off when I was in the water, they would still get splashed... Lol.


Laurel and I were playing pool against Stevie and Nick when I noticed the scrabble game. It was one of the spinny ones!!! So Laurel and I went to play that :) Austin and Kameron joined us. I actually think Kameron was going to win. We never finished, though, because someone hit Kameron with a water balloon and it got all over the game... but before that, Kameron actually took a picture of the score card to show his mom. Lol...

Wow. So there I am, ignoring her like usual, but sara can't ignore someone. But she can not hit me. Lol. So first, she tries to soak me in water by putting water in a bucket and throwing it. I kept walking, not looking at her, she completely misses me, and splashes the lineua. Then she attempts to throw a water balloon at me (I know it was her because she was the only one with a pink one. I didn't look at her.) But it hits me, doesn't break, and bounces off of me! And hits her! I was like "KARMA!" (Well, in my head :) lol.) She kept trying to get Kameron or Austin to pour water on my head. I know that 'cause Austin told me. Lol, whatever. I'm a bigger person. (Well... I have a comment that I could put here, but it would totally ruin the whole "I'm a bigger person" because it would be rude... but if you know me, you know what I'm thinking :) It's obvious)

At one point, Mrs. Sokolowski had to let the dogs out, so I stayed in the house with the doors closed, and Laurel stayed with me. She was playing the piano, and I was dancing. I got some weird looks from Connor and Blake. Lol. But I still twirled! And LAurel was amazing! She made up her own song and memorized it without writing it down. She was going by ear... She's amazing. She is so talented! (By the way, she's now writing her stories in Bulgarian. Yup. Now I really cant read them. Lol) We were looking at the pictures above the piano. One was a really nice one of Cleveland at night, with the lights all lit up. We were trying to guess what city it was, but we ended up asking Mrs. Sokolowski. There was a Christmas picture of them, when Sammy had to be like 7 and Zack looked 5. They were so cute!!!!

I played volleyball a couple times, too. That was fun, although my thumb hurts and I can't crack my knuckle... But it's nothing I didn't have during basketball season. That was fun, we played girls verse boys until Kameron came out and told us the Kentucky Derby was about to end, and we all wanted to see how our horses did. (We pulled their names out of a bag. My horse was Conveyance.)

I think the best part of the night was near 8:15ish at night, and we were all in the pool, and Don't Stop Believin' came on the radio. Without even looking at each other, we all stopped what we doing and stood there and sang the whole song. It was pretty epic. I mean, none of us could hit the high notes and we were all flat the whole song, but it was awesome. Mrs. Sokolowski came out and filmed us! I think we should put that in the end-of-year- slideshow thing. But I love how our class is mostly on the same level sometimes.

Mr. Sokolowski was really nice, telling me all these stories. Like the one about Zack and how he came home after studying the whole week and told his dad that the test was easy, it was open-book and with a partener, and his dad asked him who he had as a partner and Zack was like "Jessica!" Lol. And then he asked me what high school I was going to, and I told him Eastlake Engineering, and he got all excited and told me Michael's dad went to MIT, and how he was glad I was going through and he was giving me a little pep talk about how girls can do whatever they want and not to listen to guys saying we can't do anything. Now I know why Zack is as gentleman-y as he is. His parents are really nice :) Well, I already knew that, but it was nice to be reminded how nice they were :) If that makes sense? Lol.

I had so much fun!! I'm glad I went!! And I think I'm getting better with the cynophobia- don't you? A couple months ago I would never be able to go to a house that had two dogs, let alone stay there 7 hours. I'm the one who nearly ran out onto the highway and threw my candy at the dog on Halloween that one year... Lol.

Love ya!
