Today, I'm not gonna let things spoil my mood.

Jennifer and 'Nessa are downstairs deciding what kind of juice we're gonna want for our late-night snacks tonight. Hayleigh will be here in a bit.

So, we've got a pile of DVDs of pretty much any kind you can imagine, a stack of old board games, a stack of normal board games, enough snacks to satisfy the appetites of eleven hot dog eating champions, CDs and parents willing to let us stay up as late as we want to stay up.

I'd say that was a successfully planned event, wouldn't you?

So, I figure...

There'll be at least a bit when the three of them will question me.

About Ethan.

I mean, I don't mind answering questions, but I don't want them to think of me as Ethan-disguised-as-Courtney, or even Courtney-who-used-to-be-Ethan. And I'm not sure if my explanations will help that.

But Jennifer is my best friend. And 'Nessa and Hayleigh are my oldest friends -- since they were my only friends from... before.

I guess I shouldn't be stressing so much about talking with them.

Daddy's gonna take Mom out to dinner and leave us to our subs (there's an awesome deli across town that makes party subs!). Though he did say something about being surprised that none of the four of us were vegetarians yet.

Yet?

Hrm.

I'll have to ask the others about that when I go back downstairs.
