Wow, my weekend went just like the title.

Cool.

On Friday, I went to the movie “The Grudge”. To describe that movie in a few simple words would be next to impossible, but to describe the utter greatness of the movie experience would take all day.

First, the movie theatre was PACKED. It was opening night for this particular movie and with people laughing heartily and candy boxes rattling joyfully, I knew that this movie was well-worth it to see. Plus, it hardly had any little children. :-)

It was so great; everyone screamed in all of the right places, and the two girls who were sitting on either side of me (Sharon and Lindsey, I went with a group of people) were literally jumping at every other scene, making the movie seem even more scary and my movie-going experience even better. :-)

Let’s just say that the movie is WELL worth to see if you are into just the raw horror movies out there — It’s awesome. :-)

Then on Saturday, I went to a haunted house. Now, we walked there, and it was literally a two-mile hike to this haunted house, located in the center of downtown normal. We had to pass by creepy streets and mad barking dogs…and…*Gulp* one bridge over water — but other than that it was okay. We almost (well - we had to turn around a couple of times but still made it there in an hour) got lost, but we made it there okay in the end.

We had to stand in line for another hour, outside in the cool night air quickly descending to blackness for half of it and the other half in a nice queue line inside of the old school building. There were 15 rooms (in the haunted house, I mean) in all, and for the 8 bucks I had to pay, I feel that it was well worth the wait/walk. Just awesome. :-)

I yelled only once. We were in a room and there was a TV with fuzzy lines going across it, sitting perched on top of a covered table (pretty tall, actually). Suddenly, the TV flickered to the movie that is from “The Ring” (you might recall this one…) and all of a sudden a little girl was standing right in front of me and I didn’t even notice that she had come out from underneath the table. She looked EXACTLY like the little zombie girl from “The Ring” and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is when I screamed. :-)

Other than that, I held myself, but the girl behind me (Jenny) was yelling her head off when we went around a corner and a REALLY tall guy was towering over us and coming closer and closer. She was rather freaked out by that and I just kept laughing when he chased her. See, we were all holding on to a rope and were NOT allowed to let go of it – Firecode according to the guy at the beginning of the “tour”. The really tall guy kept touching Jenny’s hair and stuff; she just kept screaming and practically climbing on top of me. It was really funny though. :-)

So, how was your weekend? :-)

Well, today started GREAT…and it is still going AWESOME so far.

Last night my next door neighbor called me into her room and was in hysterics because she spilled a bit of water on her LAPTOP keyboard, causing it to have SEVERE problems. Most of her keys weren’t working and stuff like that…She asked me what to do. I told her to put it upside-down (With the “monitor” (screen) on the bottom and the keyboard flipped upside-down and I told her to leave it like that overnight.

Sooo…I woke up this morning feeling GREAT! My stomach had stopped hurting and I had just a WONDERFUL night sleep also! Sarah came back from her class and was also very happy because she had a BIG Biology test today and it only took her 20 minutes to answer the 50-question-test; she knew the information THAT well! I told her that I was VERY happy for her, and then I explained how I had such a good night sleep last night, I didn’t even hear her alarm go off!

Her response:

“Yeah, because I didn’t SLEEP in here last night, Jillian.”

Oh. HA HA! That was great!

Well, as it ended up she spent the night at her boyfriends’ room a few floors down.

So I woke up at around 9:30AM this morning, got a shower and came back in the room. I was just so happy that I was feeling better; I knew it was going to be a great day!

After I dressed, I went out into the hallway and Emily (the girl whose laptop ‘died’ last night) came over to me and was like “Jillian; Jillian! Guess what?? My computer works just like normal now!” Yay!

So she showed me her computer and how every key worked and how she didn’t have to call customer service anymore and how she was so happy thank you Jillian!

Whoo!

So then I came back in my room, made a cinnamon roll complete with gobs of icing, microwaved it up and ate it! Mmmmmmm…Then…Sarah came back and told me about her test and that made me happy for HER and then I told her how I ate a cinnamon roll and she was like “Oooo! Can I have one??” and I said yes and she said that she deserved it; and I said yes again. ;-)

Well, now I am surfing the Internet, chatting with people on MSN messenger and watching Stand-up Comedy on Comedy Central. Funny stuff, and my FAVORITE comedian is on next; Bill Engvall! :-)

I’m Out!
