Last night was amazing!

The party started around 5:00. Josh and Lauren were among the first there so I gave them a quick tour of Nat's house. They couldn't believe how big it was! We then went outside and sat on the beach and watched the sunset. It was great, but it would have been better if Lindsay and Lauren weren't with us...me and Josh alone, now that would have been perfect.

After sunset we went over to the pool where the other guests were gathering. This guy that used to have a huge crush on me was there - his name is Todd. I groaned to Josh that this guy used to follow me around and bother me, so when Todd came over Josh told him that he was my "boyfriend from Pennsylvania!" I couldn't believe it! I knew he was just trying to help me out, but I was still shocked! :)

We played pool volleyball for a while and then we ate dinner. One of the guys had his guitar and then I kind of lost Josh's attention for awhile. They started talking music. It gave me a chance to hang out with Natalie. She told me that she thinks Josh likes me.

Lauren was busy picking up guys! I couldn't believe it! I'm surprised Josh wasn't keeping a closer eye on her.

Later, Josh walked up behind me and put his arms around me. He was like: "Do you think Todd is convinced that we're together?" Before I could answer Todd walked over to us. He started telling Josh how lucky he was. He said that he had been trying to get a date with me since the 7th grade. (By the way, Todd's a nice guy. I just never liked him that way!) Then he goes on to say that he wishes that he had dated me because he imagined that I would be a good kisser. At the point I was pretty embarrassed. Then he asked Josh if I was a good kisser! Twice as embarrassed. Josh even looked a little embarrassed too! Todd started to get suspicious and was like, "You have kissed her right? You're really her boyfriend?" Josh assured him that he was my boyfriend but Todd wasn't convinced and he was like, "Kiss her." So Josh leans in to kiss me - but I pushed him away and told them it was stupid...it wasn't mean and Josh didn't take it that way. I wasn't really mad at him, I just didn't want to our first kiss to be like that.

I walked off and was so completely embarrassed. Josh came over to me and apologized. This is where it gets even more embarrassing, because I said, "I just don't want our first kiss to be because you're trying to prove something to someone else." I was hoping that he missed the "first" part, and he just nodded so I think he did.

The rest of the night was great though. Things kind of went back to normal after that, but Josh was flirting with me a little more than usual. I hope Natalie's right. I just hope I didn't scare him off!

This morning I got up early to watch the Macy's parade. We're getting ready to head over to the beach now. Fun! Fun!
