Blast from the Past: July 27th 2000

July 27th 2000

"The ride home was a lot more bumpy than the last. It was also really squeaky. Lexy and I tried to read, we were sitting alone together. I was glad to get back to our apartment and take a load off our feet. I played 500 with Lexy for a while, then I took a bath and washed my hair and shaved. We had dinner with Vivian because it's Bibby's birthday, and then had a delicious chocolate cake that Vivian made. After that we gave Bibby her presents. She didn't seem to appreciate Katie's presents. I was so mad! Katie gave them to her and she said, "Oh dear," and rolled her eyes! I was so PO'd I was gonna tell her off but I didn't. Then we started on our way to Her Majesty's Theater to see Phantom! Vivian had given Olivia a whole bunch of hair things and bracelets, including a little fake crown. Alexis told me while going to the show that when they were outside their flat door Bibby said, "I need to get something." Six or seven minutes later she came out wearing her crown, a blue dressy skirt, a blue sleeveless top, and a little purse around her wrist! I was so shocked! First she was wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and clogs, and now she was wearing a pretty princess outfit! I don't know why, but she didn't have to look AND act like Miss Prissy Sassy. She sure acted like one.
Anyway, Phantom was really good! We didn't have great seats, but it was pretty cool. Course I'd never seen it, so it was good. The Phantom was by far the best, and I thought it was sad when she kissed him in the end. So, we've now seen five plays and my favorite list goes: Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Phantom, Comedy of Errors, and Stones in His Pockets.
Well, gotta get off to bed, and by the way, I'm now reading Anne of Green Gables."


My family and I always had a hard time with "Bibby" or... Olivia. Actually, while I was growing up I really despised her. She was mean to me and my sister, and mean to everyone else. I'll never forget that little outfit she changed into.... it looked ridiculous.

We sure didn't have great seats to Phantom! We sat allllllllllll the way in the back on the floor, and the balcony obstructed most of our view. So when the chandelier fell, we only saw the very bottom of it for a split second, and it was back up. Totally. Awesome.
