The Silly Times

I have given people the wrong impression of me many a time, but tonight seemed to have blown the rest out of the water.
"So if you're Norwegian, does that mean you're from...Norwegia?"
"No. I'm from Norway."
That's right, Hali. You know Norwegians are from Norway, but you had to play it cool.

On the bright side, I did get to see my friend Ted today at the MHCC Jazz contest. I was so upset because I told him I'd bring him a Carmelizer from Dutch Bros. Delicious, but totally out of my way. I was already running late and of course I'd hit every red light on my way to the high school. But it was 100% worth it because I got to see one of my favorite people ever. Gosh, I forgot how crowded those things are. It was pretty fun though, I met some cool new people and I got to see one of my best friends. Ted is about a million feet taller than I am. When we talk I physically have to tilt my head upwards in order to look him in the eye. I hope to go with him to David Douglas's Winter Formal this year.

Amelia and I got to spend some time together as well today. We always have so much fun when we're together, and we can talk about anything. Tonight, when we were coming back to our friend, Ivan's house, Amelia parked in his driveway and it was pretty dark out. Our friend Tyler was with us as well, and we walked up to the front door. Amelia pushed on the door and realized it was locked. Which was strange because he knew that we were coming right back. Well, Amelia was in the middle of taking off her boots on the doorstep because they were all muddy and this Asian lady opens the door real slowly and peers at us through the screen. Obviously, we had the wrong house. Because this woman was not Ivan. Nor Ivan's mother. We obviously had no idea what to say, so Amelia just said, "Sorry, wrong house." At this point, Tyler was running across the lady's yard onto Ivan's actual property. We had surprised some unknowing neighbors. BOTH HOUSES LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. During this time Amelia is screaming at me, "Get in the car, Hali. Get in the car!" So, I get in the car, and Amelia drives us to Ivan's driveway. This whole ordeal had me in hysterics, I was laughing so hard, and Amelia and I were both so embarrassed, it definitely made a fantastic ending to an eventful day.
