Hey, Skype me real fast, I need to talk.

It's funny how so many made up words (Yahoo, Google, Skype, Facebook) have become verbs. "Hey, Facebook message me a second, will you?" "Skype me, we need to talk." "Did you Google your name last night?"

On Facebook, you can "friend" people. I had no idea that "to friend" was a verb. In spanish, what is it, "amigar?" Who knows. It's just interesting to me.

Besides today's hip hop lingo and Facebook, I have been looking into a previously-mentioned website- Skype. Me and my friend, Hanna, were talking, (She had a webcam, I have some awesome speaker-earphones), and I decided "Hey. I need a webcam." So, we went out and got one.

Above is my favorite image that I've gotten. It makes me laugh ridiculously (Fancy that- it's my profile picture on Facebook). You can add all sorts of borders, masks, silly hair, and alterations to yourself with it. It is quite a time waster, too. For instance, I wasted maybe.. an hour just messing around? Still, it was worth the laugh.

Besides getting a webcam, my weekend has been pretty enjoyable. On Saturday, I went down to the River with my friends, and we had a blast. Annie made some chocolate cake that was to die for, and Nicole brought some coke. Sugar plus Sugar plus Tim plus Tim's hyperactivity equals really fun trip for us all. The first thing I did was climb a pine tree. On a previous trip, I had climbed the same tree, but in a race with a friend of mine, Josef. I won, because Norwegians > Germans.

This time, however, was different. I raced up the tree, and got several cuts along the way. I didn't care though, I was having fun. On the way down, I untied a rainbow ribbon and gave it to Annie, who was very grateful for it was pretty. That, or she just wanted a multi-colored ribbon. Either way, she got it. We made our way towards the river after that.

After climbing on some logs, I was running back to the water-part of the river when all of the sudden "CRACK!" my ankle un-friended me. I managed to sprain my ankle, and even while I'm typing this, my ankle is hugely swollen. But, it's nothing. Hehe.

We swam about for a bit, and after a few hours, we all departed. My dad drove me to Staples, and I got my webcam, and a present for a friend of mine or her birthday party, which was later that day. After limping about in Staples, we got home, plugged up the webcam, and me and Hanna chatted for a little while. It came to be about 7:30pm, and I needed to get going to Kelly's house (for her birthday party).

My ankle was throbbing by the time I got there, but I still didn't care. I hardly ever get to see Kelly anymore, and it sucks, because I love her to death. I met some of her friends, and I was finally introduced to her boyfriend. I am so happy that she's happy with him, because I can't think of a better person for her than him.

We played around a little, and me and Nick (Kelly's bf) hit it off like a bang. He and I talked pretty much the whole time we were there, and I really enjoyed meeting him, because he's really funny. We told some jokes, and, since we were two of the only guys there, had a few laughs about things girls would slap us over. Later in the evening, the girls decided to go outside. In the dark.

Oh boy.

We ended up giving each other piggy-back rides. Haha, bad idea. I gave Nick a piggy back ride, and BAM my back un-friended me. He and I both hit the pavement, and I successfully wrecked a perfectly good party for about 10 minutes. Kelly bandaged he and I up, and while she was doing that, we both were worrying about the other person. He had a cut on his hand, and I had cuts on both hands and my knee. I said I was fine, and he said he was fine, and we limped it off, and had a few laughs.

My dad came to pick me up at 11pm, and I said bye to everyone.

That was one of the most fun days I've ever had, even if I did get a few scratches. Just scars to laugh about, you know? Hehe.
