great lakes. great friends. great times.
4 day vacation, yippee! So here’s what I did on my 4 day Thanksgiving time off:
Wednesday: Finished work at 4pm, went home and ate some dinner, then headed off to the +44 show. Great show by the way. I got some excellent pictures as well, which can be seen below. I went to the show with my friend Mike, although afterwards he had to go home to visit his girlfriend, but I went out and met my brother at Glen Oaks (the golf course/banquet center he works at) for some free beer. I stood there at the side of the bar for about 2 hours drinking all the Guinness they could hand me, I had an excellent time!
Thursday: Thanksgiving. Slept until 11, got up watched the Lions suck it up once again and then ate dinner at like 5. Sat around watching tv, and then made my way out to the movie theater to see Borat. A very funny movie, but just really dumb if you ask me. It does however have the grossest scene I have ever seen in a movie though, if you’ve seen it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Then headed up to the Mixx Lounge for a couple beers. Talked to a few people in the bar which was nice. I had about 3-4 pints of the black stuff (Guinness for those who don’t know) and went home.
Friday: Ran some errands and then headed to 12 Oaks Mall because I was very bored. Hung around there for a few hours just people watching and checking out the sales, didn’t buy anything though. That night I went out to the Library pub for a few beers and burger with my dad and brother Glen. I ended up going back to the Library pub to see the Killer Flamingo’s play that night. They’re a local cover band for those that don’t know, and they’re really good too. Once again, I had 3-4 pints of Guinness, then headed home.
Saturday: Didn’t do much during the day. Sat around watching tv and being lazy, as usual. Then Saturday night is where it gets interesting. Beer, shots, champagne, un invited party bus, Novi, Royal Oak, BFF’s. Yup, crazy. Here’s the quick story.
There are two girls in this story, they refer to each other as BFF (best friend forever) all the time, so to keep with that, I’m going to do the same, even though they are not my BFF, lol. Anyway, BFF number 1 is my friend, and BFF number 2 I have hung out with a few times, but nothing to the point where I know her to well.
At 10pm BFF1 calls me and says everyone is at Tequila Rain in Novi and that I should come up there. I have nothing to do, so I get dressed and head out. I get to Tequila Rain and am handed a lemon drop shot right away, nice. I then proceed to drink my usual, Guinness. We’re there for about an hour before everyone rushes out. The group I have just met up with is on a party bus that started in St. Claire Shores. I did know this, but thought they were staying in Novi until the bar closed, nope, they changed their minds. The bus is now heading towards Royal Oak. I’m persuaded by BFF1 that BFF2 and myself should get on the bus and head to Royal Oak, even though we did not ride on the bus to Novi. It didn’t take much persuading, I was just looking for a good time. So I jump on the bus and am handed a beer straight away, I like this bus! Then someone breaks out the champagne, which is sprayed everywhere, then handed round to drink. I hogged the bottle and drank my fair share to say the least. We get to Royal Oak, and we’re all too drunk to get into the bars. BFF1 then realizes she is a bit drunk and needs to get rid of her dinner, yup, she puked everywhere. I then become the person to take care of her. The bus is now leaving for St. Claire Shores….yup, I don’t want to go to St. Claire Shores, as my car, and BFF2’s car, are in Novi. So we tell the bus to go ahead without us. Our friend who lives in Royal Oak, and who was supposed to put us up for the night is trashed, and decided to walk home and not answer our phone calls. BFF2 has a friend who is sober in Royal Oak and drives us back to Novi. It’s getting long here I know, sorry. Anyway, BFF2 goes with her friend the driver after dropping me and BFF1 off at my car in Novi at 2.30am. BFF1 does not have her car or house keys, so it’s off to my house we go. We get there and proceed to wake everyone up, lol. We stumble around and drink water and then talk for an hour or two and finally fall asleep on the couch at somewhere around 5am. BFF1 and I get up at 11 and I take her back to her car. End of story, lol. What a great night though!
Sunday: I didn’t do anything, just sat around and watched tv. First time in a week I didn’t go out to the bar. Oh well.
How did you spend your Thanksgiving vacation?
