bq. Alex walked hesitantly into the Cloverleaf Bowling Alley.
"You know guys, I haven't bowled for real before. Only Wii bowling."
Charlie laughed as they got in line to get shoes.
When they had finally gotten an alley, Alex was set to bowl fourth. As each of the different bowlers took their turns, Alex got increasingly nervous. His palms had gotten all sweaty and his heart was pounding. Finally, it was his turn to go up, so he took a ball, not aware that his fingers were too big for the holes.
Then, Alex took the plunge and threw the bowling ball. The ball went flying up in the air, and landed in...another person's lane. Alex's face quickly turned a shade of red that you probably couldn't find in a Crayola crayon box.
"Be more careful," said the alley owner.
Alex quickly nodded as he sat back down, holding his head down.
Yeah, that's classic Alex for you guys. :) This all just had to happen on Friday the 13th. I'm one superstitious Athiest. :)

That was what the midnight premiere of
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was like. I, personally thought that the movie wasn't as good as the previous four, with the second movie being the best. The special effects were spectacular though -- especially on the fight scene at the end between Lord Voldemort and Dumbledore.
