Here's what happened:

Jet fell down an entire storey.
We bought a leash and harness at Walmart and took the kitties for a walk.
Bighead and I decided to be Calvin and Hobbes for Halloween.
I got "swine flu".

( it's kind of long and involved so here's a cut for you )

Yep, is ma birfday! (And

chiklita's too!)

Today I went to Wonderland with my friends, which was very, very fun. However, I didn't get to go on the Behemoth because the line was SO LONG (seriously, the shortest line we waited in was 25 minutes, and Behemoth is so popular that it would have taken 2 hours), which made me a bit sad.

Another thing that made me sad was getting tricked by a group of 11-year-old boys. *facepalm*

We went to the water park, and obviously we needed a locker for our stuff. The lockers cost $8 plus a $2 deposit. (Yes, I know, that is a MASSIVE rip-off, but what are you going to do?) So, we were waiting in line to get our key when this little boy approaches us. He asks if we want to get a locker for $8, since he's done with his. He leads us over to the locker and locks and unlocks it to show us that it's legit. We agree, pay him, and put our stuff in our lockers. His friends are giggling, but we can't figure out what could possibly be wrong, so we decided it was just the fact that they're 11-year-old boys and we're ~older girls~.

We go down a bunch of water slides and go in the wave pool. When we're done with the whole water park thing, we go back to our locker. We open it and get our stuff out - and then we realise that when you give the key back, that's when you pay the $8. Oh. GREAT. We already paid these stupid little boys $8. We don't want to have to pay it AGAIN.

So we tried to give the key to someone else. We weren't going to sell it to them like the boys did to us - we just wanted to give the key to them, and then they could pay $8 when they returned it (and save money, since they didn't have to pay for the deposit). Nobody wanted it, though. So we ended up just putting the key back in the locker and running.

I felt so stupid for letting five 11-year-olds trick us. At least it makes a funny story!

This morning, I was woken up by Jet. Not unusual in the least. He does it all the time. This morning, however, I rolled over and opened my eyes to see him hanging from my window sill.

This wouldn't be so strange, except for the fact that my window is VERY high up my wall. So, this tiny cat jumped about 5 feet and was holding on for his dear life. He finally let go, only to jump back up again. Finally, I noticed the source of his distress (because as many mental problems as this cat has, he has never done this before and I really don't know why he would): a wasp buzzing around my window.

I couldn't tell if the wasp was inside my room or trapped between the screen and the glass, so I got out of bed (it was 7:15 anyway), and went to investigate. The wasp was indeed in my room, and it was MASSIVE. I didn't want to risk getting stung, so I yelled for my dad. He came up, spotted a cup, and made me drink the week-old water so he could use it to trap the wasp. (It tasted really, really bad; I can't drink water in the mornings because it tastes funny right after waking up, and it was plastic-y from sitting in the cup so long, so NOT pleasant.)

My dad managed to trap the wasp and bring it outside, but Jet was still disturbed. He continued to try to climb up the wall and meow plaintively. He was definitely scared. Poor guy. :(

I picked him up and brought him downstairs and tried to make him feel better. I talked to him, because I am cool like that, saying, "It's okay, Jet. The wasp is outside now. You're never going to get out there, so you don't have to worry about him."

Today we ordered pizza for dinner because my mom is out of town and my dad doesn't really make food. (He can, but he doesn't.) The pizza guy came and my dad forgot to close the inner door (airlock, as we call it), and of course Jet ran outside and halfway down the block. So much for "never getting out there". :P
