Everyday starts off with the bell tower ringing at approximately 10 o'clock in the morning, which is honestly a pain considering how I would like to sleep in how the teenagers did it in the previous society. Sadly I am not able too, so I got out of bed and began the day.

Today seems pretty busy but I think it's going to be good,  I hope it is good.  Today I have school which is alright, considering how my classes are fairly easy and afterwards I have work.  I work at this vintage vinyl store, which I think is pretty cute and fun considering how my best friends work there.  

At 9 o'clock tonight we have our games, which sounds pretty weird, but it's really fun!  It's a family tradition that the first Monday of the month my whole family gets together to eat and we play old board games. We have an expanded collection of Apples to Apples, Clue, Sorry, and even Twister. The one we will probably play tonight is Apples to Apples, because it's everyone's favorite.

At work today it was very slow, like normal.  Which is pretty typical but it's a lot of fun for me and the other employees.  Part of our uniform is rollarblades, which for some reason is considered a vintage item which is weird but this is a vintage store.  Rollerblades is rumored to be the way people used to get around but I think that's bogus because they eventually start to hurt your feet, I promise I have begun to notice many small blisters.   I am playing an old game, but is still surprisingly on the App Store, it's color switch!

"Andreana Faith get off your phone and pay attention to us!!" says my best friend Kat, she's a mess, annoying but I guess she's alright. "OK, okay now tell me, what we where talking about?" I say as I put away my phone, this is what happens when I don't pay attention, these girls jump subjects so fast. Lexie interrupts "We were talking about how we need to get you a boyfriend." Um, maybe I don't want a boyfriend guys why do they think I am lonely? I have my Netflix and pizza. What more do I need in my life? "Aw guys she's turning all dreamy eyed!!" Emily exclaims. "NO!! Guys I was thinking about Netflix and pizza. What more does a girl need, NOTHING! Now guys I am done with this conversation so I'm gonna go ---" I stand up and attempt to ride away on my fabulous electric blue rollerskates, but then Kat decides to grab my arm,"Oh no you don't!" "OH YES I DO!! My shifts over any way and I need to get back to my "boyfriend" and by that I mean NCIS and pizza!"

Finally I arrive home from work, and head straight for the shower.  I turn the shower on and immediately step in and let the shower clean me up, after the shower is done washing my body I proceed to hit the button on the panel for blow dry, and then the shower head turns into a modified blow drier.  Once I am done, I step out and then I am given another tablet that reads "Date Clothes" Oh, even my bathroom wants me to get some, how awkward.  However this isn't a date, so I swipe the screen to the left, and then "PJs" pops-up, I chuckle to myself, "Yes PJs, what else do I wear?" Following me saying that a hanger brings a Maroon PJ set to me, which I happily accept and put on. 

I overhear the relatives coming in through the door and quickly brush my long hair, and put on a little mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss because naturally they are going to want to take pictures and I have to look at least a little presentable, Right? Right.  

I am quickly brought out of my thoughts when my Uncle Ricky pulls me into a big hug, with a "Hey Kiddo" and a quick reply of "Hi Uncle Ricky" before he goes to say hello to the others.

Once everyone has exchanged their hugs & hellos, we all began to eat are meal.  Today we had Italian, which is simply my favorite so I was very excited.  There was very little talking while we were eating because the pasta was simply so delicious everyone was savoring every bite they took.  After everyone was done eating however that was when the real fun begins, the game we are is selected by a hat and the family whose hosting gets to draw the name of the game from the hat, we got the idea from the game charades, so it's pretty much the luck of the draw. 

And the game that was picked was..... Apples to Apples!! AHA I guessed correctly!
