now that i'm actually leaving this dump we do fun stuff. naturally...
sooo. while this upcoming event was fun durring and prior, the after effects were quite litterly terrible.
so saturday night we decided we were going to celebrate liz and my moving out by having a party. this party consisted of: lizzy, myself, ben, michelle, liza, brittney, and alex. so it wasn't quite a party but it was fun.
Liz and i made the miserable mistake of telling brittney and alex to bring us jack and tequilla. so we all had a jack and coke, and then decided that it would be a brilliant idea to take a shot of tequilla every time they said 'fuck' in shawn of the dead.... yeah. bad juju. 4 of us drank almost an entire 2ltr bottle of tequilla in under an hour, and needless to say liz and i were extremely ill. pretty sure we were being violently ill for nearly 4 hours. luckily for us we have 2 bathrooms, and ben loves us enough to take care of us. which he did with amazing grace and a kindness i wasn't sure was there.... ben had to cary me up the stairs, and alex had to do the same for liz. only... i helped myself walk up the stairs. liz quite literaly had to be carried cuz she'd gone to sleep. then lovely michelle crawled in w/ me to keep me warm cuz i was shivering so badly and ben sat there and stroked my hair and my back for awhile until i stoped shaking so badly. i also noticed the next morning that he had turned up my heating blanket as high as it would go, which while odd, i found this quite sweet and quite kind.
next day:yeah well. i never did sleep. and we went out to breakfast where i tried to kill everyone around me because my head and my stomach were still trying to commit mutiny and escape. it took me till about noonish to get any kind of normalcy feeling back. and now i vow to never ever ever ever touch alcohol in that quantity ever ever ever again. as it is it's probably going to be a good month before i can even stomach the idea of any alcoholic drink whatsoever. *dies*
sooo thats the negative story of my week...
same day (only more positive): liz and i fed the wild stellar jays out on our deck and found that they are completely totaly and utterly the most adorable things ever. even if they do make a terrible noise (sidenote: still haven't slept). then took a nap. so i got about 2 hrs of sleep in around 42 hours. woke up, showered, got all dressed up and liz and i went out to a celebratory dinner in tahoe city at this mexican restaurant that was totaly awsome. after that we went off to squaw valley where we bumed the key to the buildings and went up and sat in the hot tubs for about and hour and chatted. the hot tubs are glorious, so this made us feel tons and tons better. after this went off to bum ice cream from our good friend ben working at Ben and Jerry's. and then went home. where we promptly fell asleep.
today: sadly, was woken up at around 8:15 when friends alex and brittney showed up to see if ben wanted a ride to work... and alex hollered up the stairs. quite annoying. but then around 10ish liz finally woke up, and we were out the door by 11 for our long awaited road trip around lake tahoe. we stopped by longs and bought disposable cameras, and then stopped at like 4 different viewing points between tahoe city and south shore. we acted like true tourists. it was quite amusing and a great deal of fun. once we got to south shore we proceded to eat lunch at subway (for some strange reason...) and then went shopping. we only went to 2 stores and decided that we needed to leave before we made ourselves completely and utterly broke. as it was i bought a lovely pair of pants, these totaly awsome boots that were orig 80 bucks but on sale for 20, and some super cute capris that were orig 130 but i got em for 30 bucks. it was sweet. and then the next store had some super adorable shirts and earings that i bought... and since we were in the tourist trap part of south lake tahoe, everything was rediculously expencive and we really just had to pry ourselves away.
so continuing on our way around lake tahoe we passed by zephyr cove (just as the zephyr song by red hot chili peppers was playing, much to our amusement) and noticed that they had stables....
so we went horseback riding. it was 35 bucks for an hour, and it was totaly awsome and totaly worth it. we were completely totaly and utterly estatic. and my horse decided that she really liked trotting, so i got to do that quite a few times. which was awsome.. but now my bum is a weee bit sore. but since neither of us had been riding in over 3 years, we were in seventh heaven.
after than we drove a ways, and then went to sand harbor and went sun bathing, hiking, and (on my part) swimming. now when i say swimming i mean i got in (all the way in) shrieked and promptly got out to lay in the sun and regain feeling in all my limbs. it was that cold. but we were there for an couple hours. took some more pictures, and then headed the rest of the way home.
overall... it was a pretty damn spectacular day. and now liz is busy packing cuz she's leaving me tomorrow. and then i'm heading out wed.
it has been an interesting 5 months. not without it's painfull moments, but it had it's fun times as well. once i'm gone i know i'll miss it, but honestly i would never come back to this piece of shit place, and i will never ever ever again live w/ 4 boys, much less any guy i had been involved with. sooo i will come out of this adventure with some good lesons learned.
adios!
