Memorial Day repeat at Coney Island

This year's Memorial Day was really worthwhile. Although I missed my curfew and I made my parents furious, I didn't care. I had a fun time with some friends at Coney Island Beach. We all needed that day to let loose and relax. It was the end of APs and everyone was stressed with school, life, and love. Now that it's the end of the school year, we wanted another day like that. Parents are becoming more stressed about summer plans, since we're juniors and all, so we needed another day like Memorial Day. And that's how we got to today.

We planned a day to go to Coney Island and today was perfect: no rain and tons of sun. Only thing was: what are we going to do there? We is referring to the follow: Louise, Howard, Johanna, Max, Sam, Ron, Victoria, Will and I. I think almost everyone has an animal but Victoria and Will. Oh, me too. But the thing is, everyone's more hung up on me getting an animal. I guess it's cos we're closer? We chill a lot more? I don't know why but I know it's a good feeling. Oh goodness, I'm sounding/feeling all cheesy again. I can't even imagine the end of senior year. ):

Louise, Howard, Johanna and I arrived at Coney Island station at exactly 11AM. We would've been there a bit earlier if the train didn't delay right before the last stop. I made about 20 sandwiches and Louise helped me carry some. I even brought along a cooler! It was a small old-ish one, but it was enough. We met up with Ron and Victoria at the station so all that was left was Max, Sam, and Will. Sam was the first one of the three to arrive and later on, while waiting for Max, we decided to buy an umbrella. Sorry, a parasol. Eh, same difference. We were nine people and the umbrella was $10. I paid for Johanna and Max (he wasn't there yet and Johanna only had a 5) while Will paid for the extra dollar. We have a new red umbrella for keeps. And guess who got to bring it home? Who out of the whole group lived the closest to Coney Island? That's right. Yours truly.

We were stuck at the station, clueless as to what to do. We decide to head for the beach first because that was the reason why we were here: to get some sun and sand. We laid out the towels and failed at one of our many attempts to get the umbrella to stay up. We also attempted beach volleyball. Another fail. No one was able to draw straight lines and the court was later split in half (thanks, Max) so it was a four-way fail beach volleyball. But it was fun (:

Soon after, I went into the water with Louise. Damn, did she have a good laugh. So, stupid of me, I didn't bring a change of underwear. I thought I was only going to wet my feet and get sand everywhere so I only brought a change of clothes, but no underwear. I told myself: don't get my shorts wet. They got wet. Then I said: nothing above the waist. I drenched myself from shoulder down. Later on: hair should stay dry. My bun got wet. Finally: new glasses, please stay dry. Louise splashed me and they got wet. D: And what was she doing this whole time? LAUGHING HER ASS OFF. She's a mean Piggy.

After the water fail, we ate and continued beach volleyball. I was dripping because of my shorts so I just sat and ate some crunchy sandwiches. Om nom nom nom. Yummy. At some point, Louise and I got up to go change. The bathroom was a long walk away D: We cleaned up when we got back and headed for Luna Park/the places around it. The guy with the sexy voice (according to Max) wasn't at the water-gun game from Memorial Day, but the same guy was at the basketball game. So, let's see who won what that day. William and Co. won 16 fishes in total. He exchanged it for one hermit crab and four goldfish (which we gave away later on). Howard, Ron, and Max each won a tiny puppy doll from the basketball game mentioned earlier except Howard won more so he exchanged it for a white bear (which Louise is very happy about :3). Max also won a white monkey from a dart game. He said the monkey was ugly and the dog wasn't a panda so he gave them both to me. Now they're sitting on my bed...in a pile with the Pikachu that I won last time. He spent over $15 to win the dog, which is kind of funny. 3 basketballs for $5. He failed so bad. "You better take good care of them! Don't throw them in a pile!" Uh, too late for that ~

Oh we also went on the Wonder Wheel. 6 out of 9 people went. Which was stupid 'cause Johanna said she wanted to go earlier but she didn't ):< ! So it was just Howard, Louise, Max, Ron, Victoria, and I. The seating was going to be awkward: one car held only four people. So we decided on this: Howard, Louise and I on one and Ron, Victoria, and Max on another. Right before we got on, Howard said, "Look, we both have a third wheel." Thanks, Pandaddy. Thanks. D:< We went for a swinging car and it was fun. Every time the car swung, there was a nice breeze and we were so high up. The view was nice. You can see all the way to the beach and the station and everything. I even saw the Verrazano Bridge! It was exhilarating.

After all that stuff at Coney Island Beach, it was only 3:30PM. Everyone had time to kill but we ran out of ideas. So what do we do? We all crash at my place. Why? Cause I'm closer x_x! Not everyone came over though; Sam and Will left for home and everyone else came over. and we played MJ. My mom didn't mind too much; she wasn't home yet. My sister was a bit bitchy as usual. Meh. But we had fun. Max was feeling up the tiles; he was trying to guess what tile it was before he looked and got most of the characters wrong. Ron didn't have as many fails as last time, so it was okay. Louise and Howard left early 'cause she had to be home by 6. Or before.

It was getting late when Ron and Max said they had to leave. "I'll give myself a 10 minute leeway," Max said. So he was going to leave at 6:10. Before we knew it, it was 6:20. He kept going: 6:15, nah 6:20, etc. Johanna said that it was going to be extremely late before anyone was leaving. So Max suggested they stayed for dinner. We laughed. Later on Johanna was saying how it was going to be 9PM by the time they wanted to leave. Max suggested a sleepover. Another round of laughs. All in all, it was a fun day.

They left around 6:30PM. My fridge was somewhat raided. I'm missing two Cokes and some milk. Don't ask about the milk, ahaha.

There goes the post that I was supposed to put up yesterday but I fell asleep. I may or may not do one today. I might be really short :x Depends on how wide-awake I feel D:< !

I guess that's it for now (:
