Fred took a picture of me getting ready to go out, wearing the dorkiest stuff I could muster: a beanie hat, my lovely spectacles, and crazy shorts with a rainbow on the butt, a velcro fly with a drawstring top, and a texture like they are made out of a tarp.
This is something called a ha-ha circle! Get your friends together, lie on each other’s stomachs in a circle, and someone starts giggling. Eventually everyone is roaring and there is no way to stop it except to stand up.
Haha Circle
That’s it, we’re gone.

Here is a series of pictures from when a very strange boy named Seth managed to shove himself completely into a JC Penney’s bag. His “hatching” is documented here.

And here are a series of pictures of me doing semi-perverted things with an inflatable sheep that Jessica and Ron got for a wedding present. Oh my.
Jessica and Ron at their wedding reception, having their first dance as children attack them with airborne bubbles. (I don’t have any pictures from the actual wedding, as it was not open to the public.)
Jess & Ron with bubbles
This is the freaks table at the reception: Jessica’s friends. Here is me visiting them. (Fred and I were actually seated at the long front table with Jessica and Ron.)
The Freak Table
There were shells all over the table and I gave Fred the idea to put two of them behind his glasses. Isn’t it cute?

Listening to a shell?
The wedding cake.

And it’s Jes and Ron *eating* their cake. Oh, isn’t it cute, barf barf.
Jess & Ron fed each other cake
Silly traditional wedding things . . . Jessica’s about to throw her bouquet here. Observe how I’m attempting to get out of the way.
I hid from the bouquet
It’s the wedding crowd doing the chicken dance! AHH!
Chicken dance
This is me and Fred with Jessica’s mom. I am making an inexplicably weird face!
Me with Fred and Jess’s mom
After the reception, there was a real party. Observe Jes and her friends in the pool.
Friends on the raft
Here’s where I spent most of the party, on the side of the pool talking to my new friend Steven, who is quite nice, a good listener and has stuff to say besides.

Steven, the Leader of the Penguin Tribe, is swearing fealty to me, Queen Ivy and High Priestess of Budgiland.

I liked this rope swing. I spent lots of time there during this party. (Mostly talking to Steven and watching the pool partiers frolic.)
