great night last night. hit up Bennigans on University. huge block party. i am meeting conner and liz there. so i get in line, and the line is fucking huge. it's like a 20-30 minute wait. but 5 minutes into the line, while im still way in the back of it, and drunk guy comes stumbling up to me. "Hey man! You want a bracelet!" he then proceeds to rip his off, and hand it to me. i carefully put in back together with the remaining stickyness, and a little bit of saliva to seal it up. i walked up to the front of the line, and showed the door man my bracelet. and it worked! no $5 cover, and I was officially 21 too! and i'm only 20, so this fucking rocked! Holy cow there were alot of people there. maybe 500 at any given point. i met up with conner, liz, justin, nate, pat, and the girl he was with. went and bought a few green beers at the bar, which took about 15 minutes. got back to the table, and they were gone. called them, they were outside smoking and shit. so i grabbed the 3 beers, and started for the door. then i saw john. i decided to hang out with him and his girlfriend jessica. more people started showing up that the 2 of us knew. we ordered some food, cus we were all hungry. i got 20 wings. i ordered more than what i needed, because i wanted to share. Conner showed up again, and was shitfaced, as usual. he helped himself to my wings, jon's leftover potatoskins, and jessicas leftover salad. i reaced behind me to the recently vacant table and grabbed a bowl of 3/4 eaten baked potato soup. conner ate that. then he proceeded to take the little bits of meat and skin left on the wings, and eat that. he was so hungry, and it was disgusting. then he tried to drink my beer, but i didn't let that happen. then he started getting loud and belligerant. ah well. surprise surprise...
tim, tal, roberto, sean and his boyfriend showed up. good times. they got 2 pitchers. i got one for myself. they got up to leave, and our waitress brought us our tabs. john & jessica paid theirs, and i payed mine. the other boys walked out on theirs. the waitress was so upset. i felt bad for her. but i'd been paying all my bills all night, and so i wasn't about to pick up theirs. so i'm headed out the door, and i see carmine. so pretty. we talked a bit. then i saw derick. this guy is great. he just got back from vegas. won a good deal of money, but spent it all. ending up coming home with $13 in in wallet. haha. bought so much shit. bought a bottle of grey goose for $218 dollars..... wow. but that's what happens when you party like a rockstar. his ex g/f was fucking gorgeous. anyways, he was so glad to see me. he wanted to take a shot with me, so we went inside. mother fucker is loaded with green too. can't remember what kind of shots they were, but they hurt going down. chased it with my remaining pitcher. we shot the shit for a little bit longer, and i bounced. saw his little sister. she's 19, and a really nice girl. hung out with the boys a little longer, then left and came home. wasn't a really late night, but it was a great nite. can't wait for next year.
today at work was awesome. i found out that our store hit bonus last month. so that means i'm getting $100 bonus shortly. and we are hitting bonus again this month. so im getting even more, like around $150. and i get 2 paid days off. fuck yah. Installed a hitch on a Ford F-150 today. as i am loosing the nut that is holding the ball in the bumper, my thumb got messed up on it. all the way down my thumb my skin is missing. it was so gross. the about 2 1/2 inches of skin was hanging off the tip of my thumb. and then it started bleeding. it hurt so bad. i sucked it up and put a bandaid on it, and finished the job on the truck. he left a very pleased customer. i then proceeded to take care of my wound, and wash it up and put antiseptic and sufficient bandaids to cover it up. doesn't hurt unless i touch it. gonna shower in a bit and re-wrap it. maybe i'll try and get a picture of the gruesome thing. would have been cooler to get a picture of it while the skin was still dangling off it, ahah.
