Jon and Nathan being the heart of any party!

Jon and Nathan just stopped by for a bit (very good of them to do so).. they care, and are definitely the heart of any party. ;) We discussed a bunch of stuff:

my ever-changing MSN names, and the story behind the latest one (variety is good.. never boring)
my slow computer (teaches you patience, though.. and I do have Memory Cleaner.. Jon found that loading those AllMusicGuide pages is one huge pain, though)
blowing bubbles (sure, I'd let Nate do it in the apartment.. why ever not? yup, even though he makes a mess..)
some of my wacky books (Ripley's Believe It Or Not!: Encyclopedia of the Bizarre, The A to Z of Almost Everything, various Uncle John's Bathroom Readers)
a few of my other books (Lord of the Rings trilogy, Fargo Rock City, April Fool's Day)
our friends (Daniel needing five bottles of Powerade for his food issues, Jen not being able to make it tonight [even though she wanted to] due to stomach cramps, etc.)
funny past entries in the guestbook (Vernon having a good time praying and napping on the floor during one prayer meeting last year, for instance.. or Andrea's "hairy guy" drawing, partially in response to Nathan's "camel" drawing)
our interesting family, according to Nate (sitting on each other, lifting Mom up off the floor, etc.)
how Yazmine should learn to enjoy bubble tea pearls, and drink bubble tea like we do (definitely she should.. we don't drink the stuff too fast at all)
the rubber band ball that David made for my birthday in 2001, from a bunch of rubber bands I gave Elaine once (definitely hard when you bounce it off the walls or anything else)
Tostitos chips, gummi bears, and Teddy Grahams being Jon's dinner (in Nate's words: "that's sick, man!")
