ohhh you crazy isle...

what a great weekend in the middle of the week.
monday my mom drove me, marie, and kristin out to the south ferry to shelter island. we were excited for every second and pictures were literally taken from the moment we left the car. we waited at the ferry station for about 15 minutes and then teddy came and picked us up in the island boatyard van. as we hopped in, the sliding door on that fine motor vehicle broke off so i had to hold it closed for the drive back to his work, where we stole diet pepsis and t-shirts (teddy told us we could though, we werent just being obnoxious assholes) and i got to help teddy tie up a boat and dock it! then his hot co-worker brooks drove us back to his house and we took a tour, sat around in our room, and then got dressed to go TUBING! of course it was the most on and on ordeal, involving us having to stop at the pharmacy to buy candy because we were starving, which became a typical feeling on the trip, and shop for souvenir sweatshirts, and then go to john's house to pick up the tube and kneeboard, only to realize that teddy left it at the yacht club, then get the boat, then realize we forgot life jackets and line, then searching for line and finding really thin crappy line, and THEN realizing that good line was right on the dock where we were waiting...we cruised around in his motorboat, which we named square one because the old name cool runnings wasnt cool at all, and swam a bit. getting into the one-person tube was rather ridiculous, as was our idea to fit all three of us on the tube by having me and kristin lay next to eachother and marie lay on top of us, and we planned to tube that way, because it wasnt gonna result in a tragic mess of broken bones or anything... soooo we took turns tubing and then john knee-boarded. and ellen, i TOTALLY was going to and really wanted to except they didnt have a handle, they took the line and made a knot and held onto that, and i really wasnt up for permanent calluses... then we went back and returned john's tube and knee-board and went back to teddy's.
back at teddy's, we hot tubbed it and then i made burgers and pina coladas for everyone. the burgers kicked ass, the pina coladas did not...but thats mostly because john didnt wash out the cups properly so they had like, fur on them...we also established that i would be an excellent wife but a crazy mother. i disagree. so we cleaned up and then went over to this girl anna's house, played a little ping pong, and watched tv. it wasnt very eventful, but we had hardcore girl talk until 3 am when we went back to tedster's house.
the next morning, mama hills made us bagels and we had breakfast and got ready for the beach. then we picked up kareem and john and headed over to sagg main beach. we stopped at 7/11 and jay of jay and silent bob's twin was sitting outside eating a box of soft baked cookies. it was funny. the beach was fun. a wave crashed into marie and, because she was peeing, she let it attack her and she smacked onto the sand and now has an enormous scrape and a bruise the size of a third ass cheek. football was played and i was informed by kareem that i am more of a guy than teddy...i dont know how i feel about that. these two kids pj and eric stopped by for a while, but we really didnt see much of them. then we left and got the second best pizza ever, next to the pizza danielle and i made. then we dropped everyone off and went back to teddy's house, where we again hot tubbed it and then hung out until kareem and john came over and we all left to go to gaby's house. none of us were really fans of gaby, but we stayed out of her way. the end of the night basically resulted in me taking a shower and marie opening the curtain and scalding the crap out of me. kristin and i fell asleep and teddy and marie talked until his mom came upstairs and got all mad that he was staying up so late.
the next morning we were informed that we had to take the 5:30 bus home because teddy was up late...i dont understand that one at all but whatever. soooo we went tubing again, which was rough this time, and schemed. basically we decided that no one wanted us to go home, sooo we were going to have to do some planning. we eventually concluded that we werent going to take the ferry, we would cruise around shelter island until john's birthday party that night, and then sleep on his trampoline that night. at 4, we went back to teddy's house for the "last" time to "pack". teddy drove us to the ferry, and he got out to call the bus company to cancel our reservation. HOWEVER, as we were sitting in the car chilling, teddy's mom drove up to the ferry to make sure we got on. but teddy was relentless in his mission for us to stay and gave us 6 tokens for the ferry so we could get back. soooo we rode on the ferry and got some food, saw a movie, got ice cream, basically chilled in greenport with alllll of our bags until teddy had spent enough time with his mom on the island so that she was convinced that we were gone. thennn at around 9, we went back to shelter island and teddy picked us up at the station. we drove to john's house, where we picked up kareem and john and then drove to katie's house, where we were supposed to party for john's birthday. teddy parked outside and we changed and then went inside. katie's mom came home early so everyone had to flee down the beach and walk back up. we parked the car down the street and kinda just hung around oustide the car for the rest of the night. people raved, kristin and i made a box friend, it was good times. then teddy drove kareem home and REFUSED to let us sleep on john's trampoline, despite us begging him to. instead, he called anna and we slept at her house, but we had to wait outside for a while until she got home from katie's. then this mornign, teddy picked us up and we took the 11 am bus in from greenport.
whattttttt a weekend.
