Dumping the memory banks...
This was a good weekend. Hung out a lot with Lauren, which is cool, because we always have a good time. We laughed a lot, danced a little, drank a little, sang a little, made out a little, and had lots of general overall fun.
Friday night was fun, I ended up staying home and cleaning out my daughter's room, now it's not my daughter's room. Brian came over and helped me out with moving the big stuff. I got it all cleaned out and ready, because my new roommate Chamene moved in on Saturday morning.
It took until 10:30 to get the room cleaned out. After that Brian took off and headed home and I went down to Stadium club to meet up with JR and Booze for some Karaoke. On my way there I got talked into going down and picking up Larissa to come along.
Booze was totally shitfaced, and JR was well on his way by the time we got there. After a while Brian came down to hang out too. Towards the end of the night, Lauren came by with Planet of the Apes. We all watched as Booze got more and more drunk and obnoxious, it was pretty funny. I always get nervous hanging out with Booze, though, because he gets in fights when he's drunk, and I don't want him to hurt anyone. Eventually we split and headed to Brian's house, as usual, where we all hung out until 5 in the morning, then I took Larissa and Lauren home. JR crashed out at Brian's. I dropped them off and headed home to sleep for an hour or two.
I got up Saturday morning, and headed out to my Ex's house, as we had my daughter's birthday party that day out at Red Mountain park. We had a big jumping castle moonwalk thing, and a pinata, and lots of food and soda and water and cake and stuff. Lots of little kids came, it was a lot of fun. I mostly spent my entire day jumping around with the kids in the moonwalk and grilling the food. Everything went very well, Nora had a great day and I think it was a great success. My friend Mike and his wife and son even came all the way from Surprise. Brian was going to come, but his bum ass slept all day instead.
That evening, I picked up Lauren and headed out to make a tour of the town. That was the plan, at least. We went to some bar that I can't remember the name of, it used to be called the Chateau, to say hi to Tiffany on her birthday. Bought her a drink, gave her a hug, sang a karaoke song, and while we were hanging out there, this guy came up to Brian and I and showed us what looked like a dried cat turd in a napkin and asked us, "Hey do you guys want to try out my homemade beef jerky?"
I didn't know what the hell to say. Apparently neither did Brian. We both kind of looked at the guy for a second like "What the fuck?" and then politely told him no thank you. Not our usual style at all, but he just blew our minds I guess.
From there we went to Lauren's house and waited for Larissa and drank some very interesting concoction Lauren mixed up that consisted of iced tea and rum. It tasted like grass clippings, but it was pretty potent. Larissa eventually managed to get there, and we headed over to Jughead's. When we got there, we got some sparks at the Circle K and drank them in the lot before going inside. :)
The show was fun. Weird crowd, though. We got there just as 13 Black was finishing their set, kinda glad we got there in time for them. The crowd was mostly people there for Hall 13 and Two Dimes and Redfield, kind of a rock and roll crowd instead of a punk crowd. I spent most of the show guarding the bar corner so fools didn't kill themselves on it.
At one point in the show Lauren started getting all weird, running back and forth between me and some other guy friend of hers. She said she was going to leave, which didn't make me really happy, but she's not my girlfriend, she can do what she likes. She didn't leave though. I think she thought I was mad at her, which was not the case. I actually really enjoy hanging out with her, and am always willing to spend time with her, but I recognize and respect the fact that she has friends and wants to spend time with people other than me.
She keeps on hanging out with me a lot, and she calls me, and text messages me, so I'm pretty secure in the feeling that she likes spending time with me. No need to be greedy.
So anwyays, we all headed over to Brian's house after the show (big surprise) and hung out and did the usual stuff. Drank some beer, smoked a little, and did some making out (my faorite part). Larissa stayed behind and I drove Lauren home in the morning on Sunday.
I forgot to mention that while I was working on cleaning up Nora's room, I got a call from my long-lost new friend Alena, who had gone to Mexico for the summer to work with orphans or something like that. She's working at the Rogue now and wanted me to come by and say hi.
Sunday morning, I got to bed around 6:30 and slept in until 11. It was totally cool. Got up that morning and went out to Sandra's folks' house to visit aunt Maureen. She's about to check out on us any day now. She's at the point where she asked Sandra's mom (her sister) if she minded if she went, so it was pretty important to me to go and see her at least one last time. I stopped at costco and bought her a couple dozen roses, she really liked them. She's always got such a devilish grin, even now, lying in the hospital bed in major pain, half the size she used to be. It made me glad to see her, but it was also very, very sad. her son Danny was there from Ireland, and had to leave on Monday morning, so he wasn't very happy to be leaving her. I hung out there for a while, and then went over and watched Nora so Sandra could go and visit for a while herself.
After that, Lauren and I went rollerskating together around Tempe beach park. How awesome is that? Nobody else does goofy shit like that with me. Well, I'm sure a few other people would, but there's nobody else I really want to do that kind of stuff with right now.
After that we went to the Rogue and hung out a bit with Alena. I was worried that she might be mad because I brought a girl with me, but she was cool about it. She hooked us up with free drinks and pool was free, so we hung out there for a bit. Then we rolled to Brian's. Lauren had her friend pick her up there so they could go hang out, and I stayed a little while to watch Family Guy, then I drove Larissa up to her car at Lauren's house and headed home. When I got there, my roommate was in bed already, but she left a note saying to eat some of the food she made that was in the fridge. So I did. Then i went to bed early for a change.
