I used to journal every single day a couple years ago. I stopped doing it 4 some reason but I really think I should start doing it again. It made me find beauty in all the little mundane things in every single day. I'm always happier when I journal I think.

I spent the whole day w my friends. I doubt they want their names out there on the web for every1 to see so I'll just replace them w club penguin NPCs: Aunt Arctic, Cadence, Rockhopper, Herbert, Klutzy, Gary, Rookie & PH. We hung out at Herbert's new place. It was crazy hot today so as soon as I got there me n the 3 other people there (Aunt Arctic, Rockhopper & Klutzy) jumped in the pool. The water was SO nice just the absolute perfect temperature. We played some pool volleyball (badly. We couldn't get past 4 passes) n messed around with a few floaties Herbert had lying around. It's crazy how when you're in a pool anything becomes fun. Then Cadence arrived n joined us!! After a while we all got out of the pool and sat down for snacks & trashtalking, our Fave activities!!

Bc Herbert has a ping pong/pool table upstairs we decided to go play. HOWEVER when Aunt Arctic, Rockhopper & I went back downstairs to grab our stuff, we found Herbert's 4 y/o cousin playing with remote control cars n she asked us if we wanted to play so we obv said yes. We taught her how to drift n we joked that she had better driving abilities than Aunt Arctic who just got her license. B4 u know it all 6 of us are back in the patio playing with this toddler. Her cars ran out of battery so we played football instead (soccer if ur american we didn't tackle a little girl). She originally wanted to play with Aunt Arctic ONLY & 2v4 us lol cute but we convinced her to pick someone else for her team and she chose me!!!!! I felt so honored.

Earlier we were trying to make a joke involving some random ass obscure sport n I said croquet. Half my friends had no idea what it was n the other half thought I had mispronounced cricket lmao. Herbert said he probably had croquet equipment lying around somewhere n we thought he was joking so we all laughed. Then like 3 hours later out of the blue he goes inside the house and walks back out into the patio with two croquet mallets & a basket full of balls & hoops. We went BATSHIT. We probably spent more hitting the hoops w the mallets to stick em into the ground like cavemen than actually playing, but we had a blast. I teamed up with Cadence AND we won btw!!!! First time ever playing croquet n I kicked ass ofc. Granted one of my opponents was a 4 year old BUT thats not what matters here.

Then we got tired of running around so we moved on to something else. Aunt Arctic & Rockhopper went upstairs to play pool n Cadence, Klutzy, Herbert & I started playing a board game. Gary & Rookie were at a birthday party but they left early to come hang with us!! When they arrived Rookie (the GOAT of pool) joined the guys upstairs & Gary joined us at our board game. Gary is super upbeat and always brings the craziest gossip so it's a joy to have him around.

We found out Herbert's dad has a drum set ??? So ofc we fucked around with it n probably annoyed the shit out of the neighbors lmfao. We threw a mini concert w it and Herbert's guitar even tho none of us has any sort of musical talent whatsoever LOL. Atp it was already night so we ordered pizza & ice cream n we played cards against humanity.

Rookie drove us all back home. Cadence played nostalgic 2010s youtube BANGERS the whole ride (it's been so long by the living tombstone & revenge by captainsparklez & sum others) but unfortunately I was the first to b dropped off. I got home with my belly aching from laughing & my heart so full. I luv my friends.
