February 11, 2000 - Part 2

So the minute we stepped outside it started pouring rain! By the time me and Joanna reached the trolley we were soaked! It was the one day we actually made the effort to go to Alex's house dressed and it was completely pointless. The second we got there we stripped and put on nice warm clothes. We just sat around and did the normal nothing. Aunt Erma came home and we were talking about how she still has a love life and how the girls found proof of it. Alex told her who her boyfriend was too. She does not really remember him but she started crying anyway. She is worried about the village thing. George gave Alex money for her to go buy her own Valentine's Day gift. I can't believe the guy. Then we all went downstairs and pigged out on food. As we were sitting there the doorbell rang and it was none other than Uncle Gus and John. Of course I got yelled at for not calling but I really do not care. I did not talk to them for even two minutes. We were running late so we got ready quickly to go ice skating. The place was actually nice but the skates killed my feet since I was wearing two pairs of socks. A little later Matt came with is girlfriend. She was too cool to put on ice skates. Two of Matt's friends, John and Michael came. It was a lot of fun. I have never skated so well in my life but that was because the blade was so dull. Matt was the only who took some good tumbles. From there we went to 222. Larry showed up too but I did not talk to him at all that night. I was talking a bit with John though and he was really nice. Alex embarrassed Dina in from of the waiter Nick and I felt so bad for her. We left from there early even though I had the energy to stay later for the first time. We came home and packed and now I have time for a short nap before we need to leave.
