Day 8/Day 9 in Iran

Day 8/Day 9
I got busy and preoccupied so I forgot to write haha.
So on Day 8, nothing really happened until the evening. I was
going to a birthday party with Sahroosh and Parvaneh. I went to their
house about...idk...7 or 8. They let me check emails and stuff. I was
wearing my new dress, and I was so excited about it! We didn't leave their
apartment till about 10 or so, and I was already getting tired..uhoh! Well,
we got there and it was probably the most amazing garden I have ever seen
before. There was a gazebo and it was basically a fountain! Water was falling
off of it into a pond! It was so beautiful. It looked like somewhere someone
would be proposed to. Geez I hope I get proposed to in something beautiful
like that! We went inside and said hi to people and everything then sat down
and watched people dance some, then Parvaneh and I got up and danced. The
music was like Arabian Techno, and some Persian Techno. It was so neat. It's
like they basically made their own club. It was really cool. The music was
loud, there were lights everywhere! It was awesome. After that for a while
we sat around and stuff and then we ate, then went back to dancing. Parvaneh's
brother asked me to dance a couple of times, whenever I was dancing with people
I kept looking down because it was too awkward to look at their faces, idk why...
I am just weird like that. After that they did the birthday cake and presents
which took a while, I was just sitting there thinking. Although somethingg
funny they did was when they figured out who's present the guy was opening
he would get up and dance with them for a second. It was cool haha. After that
some old man started singing and it was making me fall asleep...I mean, dude, it
was 2:30AM already! Then after that we finally left and I slept in the car some.
I got back and CRASHED! Didn't wake up until 11AM.

The next day not much happened, I finished the 7th Harry Potter again. It got too
intense to stop reading haha. Farideh, her husband, and Parnian came over for lunch.
It was really funny because Farideh's husband went out to get lunch and on the plate
was like, chicken, red cabbage, peppers, and cooked carrots. All of us were exchanging
a lot of our food on our plates, it was cracking me up. I had like 4 cups of lemonade
too. GAH I love homemade lemonade! After that for a bit, I was showing Farideh and
Parnian my pictures on my computer which only really consisted of family and prom pictures.
I then showed Parnian my music. I was excited she had heard of a lot of stuff on there, more
than I expected. Then her and i played a few games of ERS. I won both times :) she doesn't
cheat and that's why I am able to win haha the younger girls cheat a lot. After that Baba
and I went to the airport in Esfahan. I am glad Sandra warned me about the seperation
of women and men lines. The first line I went through, Ame Narges was there with me, but
the second one I was alone and I told them I spoke English and it helped. We got on the plane,
which was REALLY hot. It made me tired. They gave us food, which tasted like poo. And then we
landed. We got our baggage and saw everyone here. There were a lot of people that greeted us
at the airport! They gave us flowers too. It was cute, there was this little girl, I can't
remember her name, but she loved me! She wanted to hold my hand on the way to the car and
she wanted to ride with me. I gave her one of the little stuffed animals I bought, and she
liked it haha she was very shy. We got to Ame Fatimeh's house and we ate...afterwards I was
sooo full, I wanted to sleep, so I crashed in one of the rooms and then moved over to Baba's
and my room. Haha I dreamt a lot about Buffy...it was funny haha. Anywho, that's all!
