I've decided on a day to go to the zoo. I picked this day to cater to myself, since the attempt to cater to other people seems to make them all complain to Char in some fashion. Weird.

Anyways, it'll be on Tuesday August 5th. If you remember the park on Harlem and Roosevelt, that's where we'll meet starting at 10 at the earliest. Once everyone coming has assembled (10.40 AT THE VERY LATEST) we'll hop on the Blue Line and head downtown. There are two ways to travel there, the first being you pay for one $2 train ride with an approximate mile walk (if not slightly longer) OR a $2 train ride plus a $2 bus ride, but without the extra walking to the entrance. Everyone decide.

There is a park round the zoo, so if (since its not the biggest zoo, depending on how the time is utilized) you want to bring a frisbee or something, that's an option too.

--*If you are going, please be sure to tell me so I know who to expect!*--

Any other questions? Just in case, if I have failed to address anything, or new developments arise, edits shall be made.

EDIT: If you read this, bring water. Lots of it. !!!

E2: Now scheduled for W of the same week!

No, its not on August 29th, Erica. I'll probably be in school on that day. Not all of us have the luxury of a late start. :P

So the possible days for the zoo trip have been set as August 4, 5, 6, or 7.

If people I talk to aren't specific with what dates are better for them, I'll just pick (then it'll probably be the 5th). So unless I'm persuaded otherwise, I suppose that's the date? *unknowing nervousness to please/appease the most people*

On the yet-to-be-solidly-chosen day, we'll met at 10 near the Harlem Blue Line stop, so in that park. I say 10 because I know people will be late, so we'll leave about 10.30. Then, after a reasonably lengthy journey we'll be at the zoo until its time to home again, in rush hour El traffic to catch one of the later buses.

Reminders: You need CTA/food money, even if the zoo entrance is free.

Requests: Does anyone have a sure fire way of contacting Patty? I don't know if she'd be up for this sort of thing.

Hello there people reading this entry! *waves*

This entry is dedicated to the planning of my belated birthday party. It will be held at the zoo. However, since I'm bored of Brookfield it will be Lincoln Park Zoo, which is good because it seems to be free everyday!!! :D The zoo opens at 9a and closes at 6a.

What I need to get input on is when this little get together should be, I can get everyone info on meet times/travel after the day is settled and those not online are contacted. I think a Tuesday or a Thursday is best, and more than a week from now. So here are the available dates: Tuesday, July 29 or Tuesday, August 5. Its either one of those two dates or the following week. It will probably also count as a "crap! its almost school again!!" gathering while we all still have a bit of time.

Though it is free to enter the zoo, you'll still need some public transport/food/trinket money. I'd like to plan it for a nice day, however I've not yet mastered control of the weather. :(

**Please leave a comment and give me some idea of your state of mind about the whole thing?

hallo dudes!!! yesterday was the greatest day!!!!! first i went to mukos so she could drop me off at michelle's. then i got there and found out i was a half hour early. sorry chris.

then at michelles was great fun. we where playing hot potato and martha was trying to kill me. fun times that. then video games!!!!!! that one inuasha (sp?) game rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the grooping dude was cool!!!! then we were kind of later going from michelles to ericas.

but at ericas her birthdays are great! there was (more) pizza and cupcakes and soda and ..........^_^!!!!! then i gave erica Michelle Branch's CD 'Hotel Paper' and a fan. a fan because chris gave her a Sanzo glove she made. it looks cool. and ericas lucky to have such a large family. she got a lot of stuff. such as this cool guitar. i want my own guitar. i think ill buy this one set i saw in this catolog of a 6-string and 12-string steel guitars. i think by its self the 6-string was only $50 or so. so if i do buy them id have a good guitar i would be ever so careful with and a good guitar i dont have to worry about as much. so that would be good.

but by far the highlight of the evening would most likely be DDR at ericas house. great times that. i am now addicted, thanks a lot erica. ^_^! even though i suck. i hit the steps but always a little early. or i somehow more myself up on the mat so that i am no longer hitting the correct button pad thing. ah well. tis a fun time to be had by all. okay thats it. i have stuff to do. like organize my icons. ta.

Dude today was great!!! i love Friday the 13ths. they always mean good days for me. yeash.

okay today was great. i did basically nothing in my classes. plus today i had 3 cupcakes, a piece of swirly cake, a chocolate chip cookie, 4 boxes of candy, god knows how much lemonade, and whatever else. great times. but when i got home i went to sleep so i think i slept through me hyperness. but im wide awake so ill be up for awhile.

TODAY WAS ERICA AND JEN'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah and tomorrow im going to Michelles Anti-Valentines day party (^_^) and then straight to Ericas birthday party where i know shell make me do DDR. good times to be anyways.
