July 4th Weekend

It's time for the weekend update. This will be the third weekend I've spent away from home, and I'll actually be camping overnight saturday night this coming weekend so that will make four in a row that I've been away. Not that I mind, there's really nothing to do here, and the thrill of seeing Kate each weekend after looking forward to seeing her all week is wonderful. Anyway back to the weekend past. I got up to Ox's on Friday evening about 6:30. And just basically hung out. We watched Dragonheart which is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's a movie that has some glaring inconsistencies and is sometimes melodramatic but I like it anyway. David was there though and I absolutely hate watching movies I like with him around. With movies that are silly and over the top I don't mind his silly chatter, and if the movie is a bad one I will join in. But in a movie that I actually enjoy and get into I sometimes just want to hit him and tell him to shut the hell up. I didn't though, and he got tired of talking about halfway through so it was ok. Kate crashed really early that night, and she was just plain GONE. It's ok though she was a good pillow, and it wasn't to hot in there like usual. Saturday everyone went to see Spiderman 2 except Kate and I. Everyone is saying that it's the best comic book movie ever made. I still like X2 and Hulk better. And besides there aren't enough comic book movies to make that a bragging point. It is only slightly better than claiming to be the best video game movie ever made. Kate and I watched The Man Who Knew To Little while they were gone. That movie is still hilarious no matter how many times I watch it. It hurt Kate's head though, in the good way I think. Troy and Angie got there that evening and we cooked out by the pool. We all did some fencing to, even though it was to hot for real armor. But nobody there did anything stupid. I finally got to fight Troy again. He said he wasn't in teaching mode but he was. I was just kinda goofing off and fighting. But after we stopped he gave me a big lecture. I guess he thought it would help but it basically was "do what you're doing, only do it better". Didn't really help me that much but oh well. After we were all done fencing, a few people got in the hottub, others went in side and played cards, and the rest of sat around the pool talking about any and everything. Kate crashed again early, but it was ok we had fun. On Sunday everyone was kinda lazy, which was ok except I couldn't find a place to take a nap. Kate and I left to go meet her friends and then eat dinner at her house. We had sausages and potato salad, then apple pie and ice cream. How american is that? It was really really tasty. Then we went to fireworks at Kate's library. They had bluegrass bands, and booths. Lot's of churches there, it made me happy. Kate met a bunch of her old friends, one of them made a pass at her. It's nice not to have to worry about my girl running off with someone. I love her a lot and she loves me, we could do practically anything and we would just kiss and it would be good again. That's probably not true, but it sounds good, and I'm sure as hell not going to put it to the test. Oh yeah we had to pay to get into the fireworks. I have to remember to pay her back for that. Anyway the rest of the Herd showed up right as the fireworks were starting. They were some of the best fireworks I've seen. The reason was that there was a thunderstorm brewing behind the fireworks. Lightning was streaking across the sky behind the fireworks. It was awesome looking!!! We made a bunch of jokes about God wanting to get into the act. After that we went home and watched Shaolin Soccer. I've been wanting to see that movie for a while. It's just goofy as crap!!! I'll write about Monday tomorrow, I have to leave work now. I'll also talk about some of the social things going on this past weekend. Lots of pseudo drama going on. I love my friends.
