I am so sorry I didn't post yesterday...
As soon as I got home I had to leave again to go back to school for my orchestra party.
Everyone had to bring Christmas snacks, so I made fudge and sprinkled peppermint over it. The only thing is, whenever I make fudge someone thinks they're brownies. And they try them and think, "This is a gross brownie." Um, YEAH, cause it's NOT a BROWNIE!!
Anyways, there weren't that many people there (only about twenty or so) and I played Apples to Apples. There was this girl, Myle, who was trying to make it all serious by explain EACH and EVERY green card that we had, and making everything all nice and neat and putting down serious cards. It was really annoying, cause no one really had fun cause she was being all bossy and didn't even realize it.
Then we did the White Elephant gift exchange. White Elephant gifts are pretty much supposed to be random and funny, right? I mean, Christmas-themed gifts are fun and good sometimes for White Elephant, but I'd really rather get a unicorn Pillow Pet or something.
I brought a bottle of mayo and a potato, but the girl who got it probably really wanted a Christmas present instead. I kinda wished someone else got it... someone who would have appreciated the randomness. Instead, she was trying to get someone to steal it.
I got a bottle of shampoo. I'm really glad I got something random. :) Anyway, whatever I got, I wouldn't ever try to switch it out with someone, cause I know that even thought I have no idea who brought it, they would feel bad if I didn't like it.
Then someone (I don't know who) brought a ton of Play-Doh. That girl, Myle, got it, and she just kinda looked down at it while everyone else was like, "Play-Doh!? Awesome!" and then she said, "Well, at least my little brother's birthday is coming up soon." And everyone was really shocked and didn't say anything, cause any one of us would have been really glad to get Play-Doh, but she both didn't like it and showed that she didn't.
Luckliy, another girl, Jess, stole it from her and that girl was looking for something she could give to her brother. She didn't want the Nerf gun or anything else. I think she ended up with... I don't even know.
Xylaphone's sister ("I'm not Xylaphone's sister. Xylaphone is MY sister!") got a whole pack of Twizzler-looking candy, and she was passing them out, so I got one. I was drinking punch with it when someone, Sun, asked, "Is that a Twizzler?" I just kinda kept on drinking and shrugged, while Ron, Jess's brother, said, "Haha! 'I dunno, but it's good!'" Then he gave me an Oreo with red frosting. It was kinda gross. After I ate it I told him, "I would give you some of my present, but I got shampoo, so that would really work out..."
I went back with Monique, who had to leave early because it was her dad's birthday and her family was going out to dinner together. They took me home, and I found that there ARE indeed the 'Happy people who makes jokes that don't make sense at all but they laugh really hard anyway' type of family. It was quite amusing.
