The Fair!
Sidenote: There is something on teevee right now with someone singing Phantom of the Opera in a different language. It keeps coming and going, and it's really confusing.
So, the fair. It was like every year, only Allie's rabbit did worse this year than any of her others have done. Two red ribbons. This is to be expected, since this rabbit wasn't supposed to be shown... But, disappointing nonetheless. At least Bruno (the hedgehog) won something big.
My mom and I got to the fairgrounds at 3:30 or so, exactly 10 minutes too late to see Allie showing Blink in his first thing. So, we hung out with our neighbors and watched the judging, then Allie came out and she sat with us for awhile. It was really amusing because she was trying to be all sullen and punk with her black eyeliner, and all the angst, but she was still at the fair, showing rabbits. Which, as far as I know, is pretty unpunk. There were lots of kids like that. High school girls wearing like... bar clothes and heels. Skater kids hanging out by the horse arena trying to be cool. You can pretend to be as cool as you want, but the only thing you had to do this week was hang out at the fair. I found it amusing. Anyhow, we had about an hour before Allie showed Blink again, so my mom and I went and walked through the commercial exhibits and the horse and chicken barns (we used to raise chickens, and we all obviously ride... so it's they're the only two we were interested in).
On our way back to the rabbit barn we were going to stop and get food to eat while we were sitting in the bleachery things watching the judging, but i recalled Allie saying she hadn't eaten since this morning (and she mentioned it like three times, in a "feed me" kind of way), so I suggested we wait and see if Allison wanted to eat with us after judging. So, we didn't eat, and waited for Allie to finish. She comes out after the judging, and we Suggest we go to the Regina restaurant (the best food at the fair), which was met as though we'd suggested she go sewer diving. So, mom and I ate, and walked around some more, and then headed home, by way of the recycling place and the grocery store.
I didn't sleep enough night before last, so I fell asleep at 9:00, really hoping no one would call. Of course Suman called at 9:40 (apparently telling him, upwards of twice a week, not to call late unless I tell him I'll be around to answer it... is useless). As always he's like "Oh shoot, it's after nine! Did I wake up your parents?" I just sort of grumbled something at him and went back to sleep.
And that was my day! Ooh the excitement. As for today, I'm off to see how the MeganHating is going on some other sites, check my email, go read compulsivebowlers.... And maybe work on my layout a little.
P.S. Did anyone notice the typo "two smart" from yesterday? I found it amusing. and I'm too lazy to edit it.
