Then Vampire Slayer, and after that we got some popcorn and Mountain Dew and went on Netflix. Diaper wanted to watch some anime I've never heard of and care to, Biscuit wanted to watch a good Star Trek:TNG episode, I wanted to watch a Voyager episode so we could make fun of it, and in the end we settled on Mythbusters. Afterwards we played Soulcalibur II and SSBM. Fun was had by all.
Sunday: Depression because the fun was over and my room was a mess.
Monday: I turned fifteen. My grandma took me to Chik-Fil-a for lunch. Went to Cracker Barrel with my maternal grandparents. Bought a bunch of candy and played Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection.
Gifts I got: Kreo Starscream, Pokemon X reservation card, Tank! Tank! Tank!, Ghost Recon Wii, American Express Card, 20 dollars, Watch, BB gun, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, two $25 Gamestop gift cards, $50 Best Buy card.
I miss some of the old middle/high school sleepover weekends with friends sometimes. Playing video and board games all night long. Good stuff, enjoy it while it lasts.

Some asshole call center is spamming our phone every few minutes. Have received about 7 calls in the last 15 minutes. It sounds automated and no matter what I say it immediately says "thank you" the second I stop talking and immediately disconnects or puts me on hold. I am increasingly getting pissed off since my mom had surgery yesterday and is trying to rest.

Awesome.

Start keeping a detailed call log (date, time, inbound telephone number, etc.) and talk to a lawyer if the calls do not let up soon. (I am sure that your friends in the prosecutors office can recommend someone for you.) He or she should be able to get the calls to stop...and you might even get some money out of the ordeal. (Seriously, WV has some incredibly harsh laws consumer protection statutes. I despise litigating there, but I would take full advantage of them if I lived in the state!)

I will. You don't how much I dread adulthood.

Well I looked forward to adulthood. It comes with its own separate rewards, but those of childhood mostly go away. Or you will find that what you used to enjoy isn't as fun anymore. College can be a blast.

I host pajama parties a few times a year and adults love 'em. We play cards, catch phrase, and sometimes just work on a puzzle while listening to records. Might sound like a snore fest, but we always have fun. S'mores are probably key to having fun in a pj jam. That and girls in pajamas...but smore's are pretty awesome.

Just got through reporting them to the FCC. Will keep what you said in mind if they don't stop spamming me though.

Agreed. Though I still had times like those until more recent years. I'm 24 now and now those days are over.

Luke is pretty much living proof that you can be a respected, mature adult without having to give up anything you loved as a kid.
