Birthday Bash!
So...I am 18...in other words, I'm not done yet...or I didn't die in that 20 minutes in between my last entry and my birthday. So here are the details...what went down:
1) I got an iPod from my parents...very cool...I'm listening to a little Billy Joel Greatest Hits III on my radio via the iTrip excessory that came with it...SWEET B-DAY PRESENT! Thanks Mom and Pops. While on the subject of presents...Seth Wilson, that bastard, got me a freaking GameCube as a Birthday/Graduation/Going to College Present...WOW!
(Note to reader...I'm not feeling the numbers thing any more...they will be discontinued for the rest of this entry.)
Talked with Drew in the wee hours of my actual birthday...walkin the dog around the talkin with Drew on the phone headset...no Life Aquatic yet...I'll watch it this afternoon. Yeah, so I got back from the walk and fell asleep around 2. This part I am very proud of: With no one in the house to wake me up, and only my own motivation to go on, I got up the next morning and was down at Mr. J's painting by 9:30 the next morning. Yeah, I know. (What the hell "Yeah, I know" means is beyond me? Take it or leave it, and if you took my advice, you'd leave it (why am i not deleting this tangent you ask...well, I am a dickey nut bastard...my brother called a kid that, "a dickey nut bastard" the other day, I was proud).) So I painted at Mr. J's for the morning with a nice phone call from Garry at about 11 my time in which I could not tell whether he was wishing me a Happy B-Day or finding out if I was coming to Oxford Towne; he cleared that up fairly quickly. Left Mr. J's (who gave me a very thoughtful note/$25 gift card combo) at about 1, then I headed home to clean up and get ready for the Progressive Party as it was dubbed early on. Progressive because it was to be an afternoon swimming and four-wheeling at Preston's Compound in Dunlap, followed by coming back to Chattanooga for dinner and then crashing at my house.
And now, the Players for "PP: Part One, Dunlap": Joe McCormick (outta the blue, but definitely an enjoyable player), Anna Holt, Preston Prigmore (duh), Yours Truly, Susan Prigmore, and of course Buzz Prigmore (probably the best part of Part One, if only for his rocking name that Joe and Seth and I determined was short for Buzzard the next day). So Joe shows up at my house at about 3, we go pick up Anna and we're off to Dunlap (Seth was not a part of Part One because he got nutted into eating with his Grandparents). After a nice drive out to Dunlap, we show up to find Preston just finishing mowing the 8,232 acre yard he has out there (that is a made up figure, it's probably more like 3 acres that he had to mow). We sit around talking and catching up for a while...and then get to it. Swimming for PP and me, and Joe and Anna (who didn't bring the ole bathing suit) decided they'd hit up the four wheels instead of watching us swim. Let's get down to business...so we all dry off and decide against swimming with Preston's cousins, decide to stay in Dunlap to have burgers with Susan and Buzz instead of eating in Chattanooga, and go off for a four wheel ride with the four of us this time. We go down to the waterfall...really a very pretty spot...and start up a conversation...an interesting one to say the least. We'll leave it at this: it ended with prospects looking up for Anna to get Preston a hook up to get laid for my 18th birthday...yeah, it was that interesting. Back to the ranch, dinner with the Prigmores...in which Buzz had two hamburgers and made the comment that he has to take a shower after eating a hamburger at least 3 times, and I laughed every time...I suggested a hand shower at one point but he wouldn't hear it. So then after saying so long to the Prigmores, Preston, Anna, Joe, and I were off to get bastarded in Chattanooga.
From here, much like a conversation between Seth and I, I will tell the rest of the nights events in jokes from the evening...see if you can piece together the puzzle: (alright I'll give you the location as well)
CTC Parking Lot:
Anna and Preston: Yeah, we're three rows back.
The Search...a search that seemed all to familiar, like I had been eerily doing the same thing just two weeks before after viewing a circus.
Bi-Lo:
Bi-Lo Cashier: ID please.
Joseph: Yes! (I pull out and give my ID to the guy) Thanks so much for carding me man, it's my 18th birthday...I had to do it ya know.
Bi-Lo Cashier: Me too, I'd get fired if I didn't.
Lots of phone calls in the Bi-Lo Parking Lot.
Green Gables
Seth: "Hey Preston you need some back up to find this Green Gables place?"
Preston: "Nah, don't worry about it."
Seth: "So you know where you're going then?"
Preston: "Yeah, sure thing...kind of."
20 minutes later
Seth: "Preston, we're coming to back you up."
Preston: "Good."
I don't know who said this one, but here it is,"I mean thanks to Preston for doing this I guess but what the hell is wrong with him?"
Poor Micheal.
Hmm...PP: Part 2, My House
The Players: Preston, Seth, Joe, Micheal Goldsmith, Me
Joe: "Hey did anybody see the commercial where..."
Micheal: "The financial advisor does surgery on himself."
Micheal's face while puffing away on a black and mild.
Joe: "Hey Micheal, do some scat rhyming" Stated about 10 times in two minutes.
Micheal: "Scat-dittily-do-wop-a-shut-the-fuck-up!"
Baby Park
"Everybody now, (singing) "And the hearse sucks a dick."
Joseph: "Hey guys, I think I know why Joe lost."
(Joe is on the couch asleep)
Peeing on Randy Tucker's yard...ahhh, the pleasures of living across from the big RT.
I think that's a good image to end on. All in all, a damn good time...
