I hate you, allergies.
Yesterday was the Best Nephew In The World’s birthday party! Malik actually turned one on Thursday, but…oh well. The time before the party was everyone rushing around and trying to set up and yelling at me and I think it may be a characteristic of all people named Faye to be complete and utter bitches. Grr. But the party itself was great. Spent most of it playing Monopoly with the other girls my age. I’ve noticed that I become ruthless when playing Monopoly. I’m a very cutthroat Monopoly player. Anyway, I only had one property for most of the game, until I bought Park Place, traded Pacific for Boardwalk, and then proceeded to ruin everyone’s shit by building houses with the money I saved by not buying anything and then buying/trading like a madwoman. Oh yes. =D
Malik was very good-natured throughout the party, which is more than I can say for the horrific little children that I had to pry off the playstation so they could go home. They were loud and obnoxious the whole time, screaming Eminem lyrics and fighting with each other, with Pat (one of the Monopoly girls), with me… etc. Further cementing that I don’t think I want kids.
The time before the party was complete and utter chaos. My mom went insane and yelled at me when I wasn’t helping because I was going to get changed, and then yelled at me five minutes later after when I was helping with the loot bags and hadn’t gotten changed yet because I’d gone to help. My sister started freaking out whenever the doorbell rang. It was almost a Pavlovian response. Something in the oven burst into flame. A plate broke outside and Marvin started dancing. Malik nearly kicked the cake and now seems to know to smile and do something cute when a camera’s pointed at him. It’s peculiar.
Today I’m going to Centre Island. I will update after my return. I want bubble gum. =(
