Party Time

From what I remember (piecing together foggy memories), Saturday was good times!

I feel sad that ML's WOW lover didn't show up to the party because I was able to stay up till midnight! wooop wooop! People started arriving at 2:45 for the 3:00 start time. My first guest was RPP - she lives in LA so it's a little commute for her to come over (me living at the beach in Orange County and all). She brought an old friend of hers who is so sweet and they helped me finish getting the important things ready (putting the beer in the tubs).

Then MF (music factory which consists of 2 girls whose names begin with the letter "C" and one of them has a fiance...none of them travel apart so they became C & C Music Factory then just MF - now you're caught up to speed - welcome) arrived and the awkwardness began. I'm really going to have to do a whole posting with an explaination of MF so you can get the full picture. MF isn't fun to party with. at. all. BUT they are friends of ML from way back so they got an evite (which they checked every single day without responding until finally rsvp-ing 2 days prior to the party - I digress) It was RPP, MF, RPP's friend, and ML and me.......a-w-k-w-a-r-d

Not long after, people started coming in and the food arrived (Chronic Taco! yummm - I like to call it Chronic Tizzy though) then, the boy next door came over with his friend (both age 14) and brought the electric guitar and the sax and they started jamming! They were surprisingly AWESOME! So cute and they knew some good songs - when they would break, ML would put the tunes back on the radio. ok, so after we sang happy birthday....wait - just before we sang Happy Bday - I was feeling a little buzzed....like the kind of buzzed that I thought - may be I should slow down JUST a little?? I was walking some people out whom I don't know really at all - it was our first meeting (ML's new work friends) and that is the point I felt I should slow down. So I walked in the kitched to get some water (we didn't need to keep that shit outside in buckets - not important enough) when I was stopped by a big circle of ML & his friends starting tequila shots - so I forgot about the water and substituted tequila. I vaguely remember my parents leaving.... MV hasn't said anything to me about being embarrassing so either they were just as drunk or I wasn't bad yet. Not sure what time people started dribbling out, but at some point we were down from about 35 people to 15 and the tequlia shots were flowing.

It came to my attention that we had gone through a whole bottle of $$ tequila so I thought there was no better idea than to have someone's little brother drive me to the store to spend$45 on another bottle! When I woke up in the morning it was half gone so at least that wasn't money wasted. Money that WAS wasted? I let Josh's Swedish girlfriend talk me into going to buy cigarettes! WTF was I thinking? First of all, I've quit that shit - it's disgusting (it didn't used to be, but it is now!) and 2nd of all - when drinking, smoking helps promote hangovers and 3rdly - I don't know about anywhere else, but here in CA, smokes are up to $7 a pack!!

While I was brushing my teeth in the morning, I had a few flashes. Did someone go get hamburgers at like 11? I couldn't tell if that was a dream or real so I was thinking about it really hard when I remembered taking a bite into a pickle and making the statement loud and clear to everyone that I DO NOT like pickles and why didn't someone warn me those viscious little bitches were in my burger?! I also started remembering Josh and his shiner! Were those boys wrestling? Yes - yes they were and ML showed everyone just how old he is when he ordered them out of the house if they are going to wrestle - god forbid someone hit his precious tv (it was his first major purchase aside from the condo). This is when the shiner occured - I guess Wade knocked Josh's face into the concrete and they both thought it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNIE!!! Someone brought over a firepit and that was awesome since it gets cold at the beach at night (waa waaa - what a whiner!) What was NOT awesome was waking up in the morning to get juice to detatch my tongue from the roof of my mouth with hair in my face smelling of bonfire. Gross- the snippets of memories of the night before began at that moment when I closed my eyes and groaned while I remembered showing off some dance moves around the fire pit.

No one puked, only one injury, and no drunk crying - this all contributed to a successful party. Us old fogies were recovering all day on Easter (ML is older and fogier than me though because he pussed out and had to nap!) I don't know if I'm more dope than before, but part of me thinks that I am and that's half the battle. Mission accomplished

I need to be more dope

On our way into work this morning, ML and I were listening to the entertainment portion of the morning show (really the only part I like...) and there was an entire segment on Kanye West and how he says he's so dope and needs to work on his ego because it's out of control. It got me thinking - why is it that some people have the ego of a giant and think they are theeee sheeeet and some of us (me) don't have much of an ego at all?

I have come to the conclusion that this is something I need to start working on - being more dope. I feel like a total fool saying that, but whatever. During my contemplation of becoming more dope, I've been picturing myself with a bigger ego and have come to the realization that there is a fine line with being totally dope and being a total douche. For example - me having to TELL people that I'm dope makes me a douche (a la Kanye West).

So begins my quest to become dope. First thing on my list? Throw a righteous party tomorrow.

I'll let you know how that goes on Monday...........should be interesting with ML's new classmate that he's invited whose favorite pasttimes include playing World of Warcraft (or WOW as he calls it and then is completely SHOCKED when NO ONE knows what in the FUCK he is talking about). ML declared to me that he is going to show this kid how to party which should be another interesting scene seeing as though ML and I can barely stay up past 9:00 these days.

To be continued.....
