Day Awesome


  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TULSI!!

  Today was my friend Tulsi's birthday, and there is just so much for me to write about that I can't possibly wait until Monday!

  For Tulsi's birthday my friends Grace, Giselle, Tulsi and I all went to a comedy club/ improv theatre. It was really cool, and the improv was really ingenious. Sometimes you wonder how it all just randomly comes out of their mouths.

  Besides the theatre being great, it was so nice to see my friends from middle school. I do see Tulsi about once or twice every two weeks pretty randomly. I haven't seen Grace nor Gigi all summer long! The last time I saw Grace, we were constructing a life-size (sort of) T.A.R.D.I.S. The last time I saw Gigi, was my graduation, and she was crying into my gown. What's so funny is that Grace is 13 going on 14, Tulsi just turned 13, and GiGi is not yet 12. We are a pretty diverse little group of friends.

  So, I think it would be fun to do a little random character sketch them.

  Tulsi: The brave and daring Tulsi. What can I say? Today she wore a purple polka dot skirt, with rainbow leggings, with knee high socks on top, converse, and a tee shirt with a creature she created printed customly for her. She looked awesomesauce. I love her and her red hair to death.

  Grace: Grace is the kind of girl who you're always happy to be around. She is always smiley, and up for a challenge. When she dances you can't help but picture Florence Welch or Luna Lovegood. She is such a good companion, you could never ( ever, ever, ever, ever, ever) be upset with Grace, she's just amazing.

  Gigi: Gigi is that younger sister you wish you had. You know, the one who draws you pictures, and asks questions in that voice that makes you happy. She sometimes speaks in a voice that almost every kid in our school can identify as "the Gigi voice", it's a sort of growl/ purr sort of thing, and you can't not love it. She and Tulsi are the girls who see a tree and before the idea ever occurs to you, they're already climbing.

  We were quite the ensemble. After the improv show, we went to Central Park. If you've ever been, you would know that there are these huge rock formations in and around the main playground area (or at least I think it's the main playground area). We were climbing those, and going up to the top. I was a little weary because I'm just always that way. You can imagine that Tulsi and Gigi just went ahead and ran practically head first.

  While playing hide and go seek, Tulsi found Grace and I, and afterwords we were in a sort of enclosed area, and instead of going around, Tulsi just jumped the fence in her cat-like way. Grace and I sort of looked at each other like "Umm. Ok. Let's do this.", and we just flipped over and boy did we feel all suave and cool afterwords. While it was our turn to seek, we just figured we would stumble across Gigi and Tulsi, because knowing them there would be no way for us to find them. So we were just walking around that area of Central Park, and there were some musicians playing... you guessed it...music. Grace had the brilliant idea to dance, so we did. Mind you, it was traditional Chinese music I believe. It was very slow and orientalish. So we danced and people were giving us that look like we were crazy, and then eventually started smiling and/or laughing. But, I have almost never felt so happy.

  For those of you who still haven't realized, we were dancing, in our floaty sort of way to Oriental music next to the bathrooms at Central Park, and we loved it.

  Eventually, my day with them did have to come to a close. My dad picked me up, and I went back to his restaurant to have dinner with my family. A friend/aunt-type person, Sharon, was in from Michigan and it was really nice to see her. The dinner was nice, and my stomach feels like it is going to explode.

  Today was a really good day. Like, a really GOOD day. I just had to write about it.

P.S. If you know what a T.A.R.D.I.S. is, I would love to say"Hello fellow Whovian!"

  1. AWWW!!! Thank you so much for your character sketch on me! I just have to do one on you now to return the favor:
    Yasmine: The type of girl that paints your imagination with colors you've never even imagine existed. She's so perfect. Of course, she has her faults like every other human, but she's the girl you look at and say: "I want to be just like her." And when she tells a story, you are on the edge of your seat holding your breath. You never know when she might explode in a splatter of rainbow fireworks. Amazing.

    I have to say, dancing with you seemed to lift something heavy out of my soul. I felt free for those few minutes (or hour, according to Giselle) that I was dancing with you. I really could've sprouted wings and flew.

  3. Now that Grace has typed a character sketch for you, Mina, I have to do one to boost up my ego.
    Yasmina: The crazy girl who lives next door.
    Just kidding! (not really) Grace has it all wrong...
    When Yasmina tells a story you're trying to interrupt her with your own story, because she interrupted you in the first place. And this time, I am serious. Waaaa...Yasmina just hit me! (Momiji mode ;)

    Oh yeah, I love swapping stories with her.

    Did I mention I LOVE YOU YASMINA!!! ( momiji mode) no not like that! No, really, as a friend, sheesh.

    She wants me to do a wikipedia on her.
    Sigh, ok,
    ( two hours later )
    and this concludes the retelling of our history.

  4. Now that I don't have you breathing on my neck, Yasmina, maybe I can actually write something.

    While I was reading this over again I was practically in tears. Everything you said was so true and so heartbreaking. Fifty years from now, I'm going to read this and remember exactly what we were like.
    I'll look at Grace and think of just how much she smiles, and how happy and excited I feel whenever I see her. I always have something I urgantly need to tell her. Even now.
    I'll think of Gigi and how sweet she is, and how I always go absolutally crazy when I am with her, and afterword my jaw hurts from laughing.
    And then, Yasmine, I'll remember how I always have so many new things to tell you, and questions to ask, and suggestions to make, and I'll remember how much I love you.
    You three are the only people in the world who I would stop reading a really good book for. And from me, that's a big complement.
