Today was awesome. We'll fast forward through the day until 6. Ben really punctual, so he was here almost exactly at 6. While looking through the pictures on my camera (including coming across one of Brock that we will discuss later), he realized he'd forgotten his own. He went home, then returned with it, still managing to beat everyone else here. We watched Bring It On because it's his favorite movie. I also lectured him about not knowing his own school's dance coach. Can you effing believe that? Around some time, Meghan, Katie and Amanda showed up with lots of cheese and stuff. Oh, Ben had brought the very complicated to make puppy chow. Anyway, so we began the cooking process. Soon enough Messier and Adam show up (after having driven by... and honked like a mile later). The party started around then. Maximo, Brock and lots of people I don't know showed up really soon after that. Jaron walked in with his brother and... idk, some people, after some time... then Essex and Kocher, then Alf... etc. It was most thrilling when my wife and Allie came. I was excited. Messier, Adam and I did one spin (yes, one) around my yard and tore it up. It was short lived lol. I got my Maximo shirt signed by the band (not actually, only half the band signed it-- Chris, Pat with a nice message, and John signed it. I'll get the rest soon). I got half a drumstick. My wife and I know that marriage is about compromise, so instead of one of us getting it, Kyle (with the help of both of us) sawed it in half. John did the final break. It turned out (what a small effing world!) that Brock and Jeanine knew each other through HTE (formerly known as Capstone). They taught me the Crotch game. We got a nice pic of us playing it. We also looked through my pictures... okay, only the one of naked Brock.
"OMG I AM PALE"
Jeanine and I laugh
"NO SERIOUSLY, I AM GLOWING. I GLOW"
More laughter
"DO NOT POST THIS. IM GOING TO GO TANNING, AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE ANOTHER AND POST IT."
Lots more laughter
"I FUCKING GLOW"
It was great, my wife can back me up. Around then, I was called to my own driveway via microphone from John. When I finally got up there, he was singing my name. They started then. We got some chairs from Our Place and watched. I went up closer after a bit. Brock became my new 2nd (see that Ben, 2nd) best friend because he gave me a back massage. Maximo performed 7 songs (I know this because I was given the set list). Chris threw water on himself... John was lazy and asked for some. It was great.
After their performance John set to the task of eating his cookie. He got a fork from me, then started scraping the icing into his mouth, followed by large bites of cookie. I have a picture. It's nice. Pat, John Deal and some others joined in too. I took John's bandana that he's unnaturally attached to. He later hunted it down. We had another group hug... of course... this time Brendan took a picture of it. I took a picture of John... in his apron... just his apron. lol, no, umm, kind of.
Okay, so some people left, so I went down to the group playing pool. Alf had some modern art going. I should go take a pic of that if it's still hanging. Let's see... Ben tried to get his glasses back. That was a fun time. Jeanine ran with them and I held on to Ben for dear life. I think it may not have been that time, but idr why, I learned the way to get him on the ground. Dear Bennie is ticklish. Kyle came in when this was taking place, and told me that he felt that naughty things were being done. I told him he was probably right. He had But is his sweatshirt at the time... and for a long time after that. Chris brought his dog, Lucy. It was cute... and asleep in Alf's car?
Oh, damn, what else? Jeanine, Allie and I had some talks in the kitchen, then Morgan joined us and played Fact or Crap with Jaron, Jordie and Brendan. It was a good ole time. We all had the talk that Jarn and I had the night before. It was touching. Around then everyone piled back into my living room. Ben and I took a love picture (another). Amanda, Meg and I headed to my family room to rave-- first to A*Teens, then In the Jungle (we had a rave train going), then Amanda and I sang Medium Pace, a song from back in the day. It holds some memories for us.
Around then the storm started picking up and it was like 11:40, so everyone started to head out.
Tomorrow=laziness and then performance, then out, idk what we'll do, but yeah.
