Reminiscing with Myself

Today I was doing all sorts of junk at the State Fair and my cousin/BFF, Anna, was with me.  I haven't seen her in geez, it's been about an entire lifetime (so like four or five weeks), and we were having so much fun.  But of course our jokes were reminding me of the good ol' days.  Back when we were fun and hip and aliiiive.

Like the time we went ghost hunting with some friends to a cemetery and when we got pulled over in while we were actually in the cemetery.  Holy smokes.  We almost died right then and there! The cop was being all grumpy and unruly and it seemed like I recognized him!  Well after about 10 minutes of that jokester scaring the heck out of my friends and I, my dad pulls up, who is also a cop and they laugh and laugh and laugh about how clever they thought they were.  My dad had set us up!  Typical.  I honestly should have seen it coming.  The circumstantial evidence was too incriminating but I was young and naive and didn't put it all together.  Looking back on that, yeah, it's funny but it was traumatizing and a little awkward after I had spent most of the time trying to convince my friends that "no, my dad would never do this to us!"

Another memory:  I didn't really get permission to tell this story, but it's been told in public several times  so I think (hope) it's OK.  Anna and I were playing the Wii at oh, three am, just having the time of our lives.  We were doing yoga and Anna was on the warrior pose, honestly, you would just have to see the pose to understand.  My cat was in a random box behind her and he kind of hated people... he launched himself at Anna's feet.  Anna's jumpy as it is and she flipped out when that happened.  Oh, I left out a vital piece of information.  She had to pee so so so bad!  Really, she was pushin' it as it was.  Not to mention the fact that she has a weak bladder anyway.  So when the cat jumped on her an awkward turn of events came about.  She fell over and peed right on the floor.  It was SO funny!

Last story:  I was at Anna's house this time and we were just sitting there talking and she confessed to me that she felt like we were growing apart.  That struck something inside of me that I'm not proud of.  It struck the part of me that makes me cry like a little baby.  We both just sat there and cried for a good 15, maybe 20 minutes.  We were pathetic.  Ok, so we still are.  We have taken to crying about every time we talk and/or see each other.  But how can you blame us?!  We grew so close!  Like sisters even!  Heck, today she almost told someone she was with her sister.





So as you can imagine, today was a really great time to catch up and pretend we were barnyard animals.











Also, we ate a butt load of ice cream, seriously though... Those containers were very nearly the same size as our heads.  And we at the whole thing!  In one sitting!
