(no subject)
had a good weekend. the morning after i was out at that bar i helped tom and crystal move into their new house. the thing about tom and crystal is that i know we're going to see eachother our whole lives. i would hope i would with most of my friends, and with most of them i can say that... and it's just nice when you realize that.
anyway... from there i rushed home, got ready for ethan's christening, and rushed back out for that. it was nice, and we had the family party back at bruce and kim's their house for the rest of the night. they have one of those portable campfire type thingy's (looks sort of like a webber charcoal grill, only for burning wood for fires). so we sat around that at the end of the night. i miss campfires. just something about sitting there.
then yesterday i spent with dad and the immediates at the house. mom and catherine had a shower to go to, so me jay and dad sat around outside by the grill, just playing backgammon, eating chips,
having beers, smoking cigars... gotta do that more often. then the girls came back and i gave catherine her birthday gift (a rollup-portable wooden coffeetable type thing from crate 'n barrel). she loved it. then we played asshole. seriously, i don't think i've ever played a drinking game with my parents, but it was so much fun because they were completely into it. stuff like that doesn't even seem weird anymore. it just seems fun. we grilled way too much food and had a good time. took a lot of pictures. my parents have one of those campfire on wheels things too. (incidentally, these things are born out of a stupid rule that says you can't have a campfire in your back yard, unless it's in some kind of enclosed space... honestly i think these portable campfire things are more dangerous). anyway, we sat around that too... when i went to bed last night i smelled and felt like i was back in maine climbing into my sleeping bag after a vacation day on sebago lake.
good weekend.
and i found out that ananda DID get the other girl's phone number and he is going to ask her for the number of the girl i met because i'm apparently too stupid to program numbers into my own phone. so that's good news... i'm looking forward to talking to her again. i definitely shouldn't've been so whiny about saying fate is screwing me. it was my own dumb fault for not making sure the phone number went in... and as far as whining about fate goes... well, i know i have it pretty good. i'm happy. i'm not complaning about a thing.
