The Birthday Week In Review, Part 2

So where did we leave off?  Oh yeah, going out on Friday night.  We headed to Lucky's for a bite to eat then we were off to my sister's bar.  I have no idea what was going on at the bar that night, but it was a STRANGE mess.  We had a drunk girl with a bad boob job hula hooping and falling on her ass, a quadriplegic drinking beer from an extra long straw getting danced with by the drunk girl with the bad boobs, girls who should never go near a stripper pole on it, a white guy in the band with an afro wig on and a crackhead running around in a grass skirt & his boxers.  I suppose that pretty much any weird thing that could have happened Friday night, did.  After several rounds of drinks and a round of shots we needed to get out of there before I was unable to drive us home.  We stopped for Fourth Meal, ran Nicole back to her place & headed home where one of my regular guys, Michael was waiting on me......

Saturday morning wasn't as rough as I thought it would be after being up until 3am.  I don't really remember much of the morning, but we laid around until it was time to take E to his grandma's house and then headed out running around and sightseeing.  We started with some much needed food, then started our sightseeing adventure downtown, driving all the way up High Street through the little sections of town, eventually ending up of the other side of campus at the thrift store.  I still needed to get an outfit for the party!  Two hours and bunches of fun picking out the most AWFUL outfits I could find, we were on our way back toward my side of town.  We stopped at Wal-Mart for party staples like chips, hula hoops, sidewalk chalk and foam swords, then picked up Nicole and headed back to the house to get ready.  Somehow time got away from us and we really needed to start getting ready because it was 7 and the party was supposed to begin at 8.  Lucky for us, my friends are always late.  It was kind of a show up whenever event anyway.  By midnight there were probably 50 people at my house and by 1, the police were there telling us no more live music.  That was the first time EVER the cops have showed up at one of my parties.  Must be the new renters in the neighborhood that suck.  Who knows, we just turned the music on the mp3 player back on and nobody came back telling us we were too loud, even though I know we were...  Oh well, whatever.  I think everyone had a good time.  My friend Donovan showed up with like 6 guys I haven't seen since high school that were part of the group I used to hang out with in my previous life.

One of them, Andy, immediately caught my attention.  Here we go again with the whole there's something about a boy with dark hair and light eyes.....  His are the most awesome shade of blue....  He used to live by me like 10 years ago and Nicole had a crush on him back then.  Not so much now, she had her sights set on some unfinished business with another one of them from like 4 months ago.  He and I talked for a bit and he claimed he didn't remember me.  I used the phrase "your sister used to fuck my kid's dad" and he immediately remembered who I was.  God she was such a skank, but I digress.  I sat and talked to him for awhile then mingled with the rest of the crowed, then back to talking to him.  I honestly have no idea when most of the people left.  My pictures tell me that at 4:30 the party was still in full swing, but by 5:30 there were only a few of us left.  550 jello shots, plus half and half poured drinks that started around 7 tend to do a number on a girl, lol...

Cameron, who you may remember as the guy who wanted to be with me forever, but has a problem snorting pain pills passed out in my bed, so Andy and I slept on the couch.  Somehow I ended up on the floor when I woke up at 10.  Wow, I felt like a trainwreck.  His cure for how we felt?  More jello shots.  Ok, fine then, but only if we chase a Vicodin with them for this headache.  We all laid around for awhile and then it was time for me to go and get E.  By the time I got back, Nicole and Cris were back at the house and everyone was trying to decide what they were going to do.  Nicole and Curious set out to see Amish people because Curious had never seen any before.  I finally pushed Cameron out the door and Andy and I just sat there talking about how fucked up his life is right this minute.  Bummer.  The last thing I need right now is a dude with these kinds of issues....  Eventually Curious and Nicole made it back to the house, having decided last night got the best of them and they just needed to rest, so we all laid around some more.  Finally around 3 Andy decided he needed to go home.  Ok then, I gave him my number and he said he'd get a hold of me when his life got less complicated..  At 4 we got ready to take Curious back to the airport and headed out.  By 5 we were back home trying to get E to take a nap so we could sleep.  No dice.  He was all messed up from being at his grandmas or something.  Finally at like 8:30 I got him to bed for the night and me & Nicole crashed out.

I woke up to my phone ringing around midnight.  It was a blocked number, which I don't answer.  It went to voicemail and the person immediately called back.  WTF?  I answered it because sometimes Nick does that and I still haven't heard if he's back in town yet or not.  I could hear someone on the other end, but they didn't say anything.  I hung up and they called back again.  This time I didn't answer.  I needed sleep so I could function at work on Monday since it had been a long weekend.
