I stayed in Bellevue last night!!!
In the morning, I went over to Caitlin's to study for our history test, and we read and read and read and READ AND READ AND READ. You have no idea! We read from when I got there at like 11 until 4:45. The only time we stopped was for 30 minutes to eat a salad. It was the most boring thing I have ever done. At 5, we left for Coldstone to see Eileen. After a while there we went back to Caits, and I came home to get ready to go to Cassie's. I left for Cassie's at 8:15, and when I got there she was in the living room with her mom and three guys..Lane, Matt and Winston. I talked to her parents and her friends and stuff, and then Matt said he wanted to go somewhere and burn Christmas trees. lol, so we got in a jeep and this big blue rapist van and picked up a bunch of xmas trees from the dumpster, then headed out to Lake Sammamish. On the way, we met up with some other people, Will, Riley and I forgot the girls name, I wana say Chastity or something but I know thats sooo wrong lol.

Anyways, we got to the lake, and everybody carried Christmas trees down this really steep trail to the water (everybody besides Cassie and I..we were holding hands and trying not to die on the way down). Walking down was so slippery and scary. There were sticker bushes all over, and Cassie kept getting them caught on her pants and she would kick them off and theyd fly back and hit my legs at full speed. Ouch! At the very bottom of the trail, I was taking like my 2nd to last step, and I dropped about a foot off of some ledge. It was kinda like when you are going down a flight of stairs and you dont think there is going to be another one, so you level out your weight, but then you drop down one more stair.. hopefully other people do that like I do..Anyways, we got to the water and Matt ( a soon to be firefighter ) started pouring gasoline all over the trees. We all were standing around and watching, and he lit the gas. It was not just some little christmas tree fire like we had expected. The flames shot up into the sky and out towards us all. Cassie, the other girl and I all screamed and started running towards the trail, feeling the heat of the fire burning our backs. We turned around after we heard the guys start laughing, and it was as tall as a house. Not even exaggerating! Slowly, it got smaller and smaller, and Matt started playing around with the gas and pouring it around. After the trees stopped burning, Matt, Winston, Cassie and I left in the rapist van to get more wood. I actually like that van, its pretty comfortable to ride in..plus it has WOODEN CUP HOLDERS!! So we went down by Marymoor park and picked up some more wood, then went to the gas station and got another gallon full of gas. On the way back to the lake, we heard the funniest song that says "we have big balls!!", so Cassie and I were laughing hystarically in the back seat. We got back to the trail, and Matt thought he would just drive the humongoid van down this little ass road. Cassie and I were sitting in back squealing and freaking out cuz we thought we were going to crash into the cement pillars on the sides..so he said nevermind and we parked the rapist van facing the wrong direction on the side of the road. We probably looked just a little bit more than suspicious..and then to make it worse, we opened up the back doors and the guys started throwing big shadowy objects into the ditch beside the road while Cassie and I watched for people driving by and half-closed the doors each time a car came. we went down to the lake and got people to go up and bring down wood, and then started another fire. Matt thought it would be cool to light the grass on fire, so he made a line on the grass that eventually led him to the water..which led to him lighting the top of the lake on fire. That was pretty awesome actually. We stood around the fire talking and laughing, and then when it started dying down again, Matt started with the gasoline. This time he stuck the nozzle of the gas bucket realllly close to the flame, and it caught on fire.
You would think that a firefighter would know that wasnt a good plan..but then again you would also think that a firefighter wouldnt take so much pleasure in the starting of fires..
so with the nozzle on fire, he started swinging the canister side to side trying to get the flame to go out, causing flaming balls of gas to fly in every direction, but mainly across the fire and towards everybody watching.. lol. He ended up throwing the entire thing of gas in the fire. Around 12:45 we all left the lake and went home. Cassie and I talked for a while, and then fell asleep on her living room floor. I had so much fun last night!

I got up at 8:30 cuz Rhys was calling to tell me that it had snowed and ask me to come play in it with her. I hung up and started falling back asleep, when my phone rang again. Eileen was calling to tell me it had snowed. haha. I went back to sleep and then got up at 9:40 to go home. I said bye to Cassie and we talked about hanging out again next weekend. Hopefully we do, cuz usually we hang out once and then its another 7 months before we do it again. Im gona try hard to hang out with her tho..so maybe that will be my late new years resolution lol.
I came back to Kirkland, and skidded up the hill to Eileens house. I was moving at like 3mph, but my wheels were spinning so fast that my speedometer was reading 50mph. It was kinda scary. I went into her house and we hung out for like 10 minutes before she found out that she had to go into work. So we had a train of cars going to Coldstone cuz her parents wanted to make sure we got there safely. Apparently they got lost on the way, so Eileen and I got to Coldstone and started opening the store. I hung out with her for a few hours, and she didnt have ANY costumers the entire time I was there. I came home and slept for a couple hours, and now Eileen is here so I gota go work on Chemistry with her. Woo-hoo exciting! lol jk..
