Re-living my youth
my 'youth' is back when i could party all the time, do crazy shit and not be stiff and sore and hungover the next day...or week for that matter. in other words, my youth ended about two years ago. now i'm on so many supplements for my joints, and it takes me a week to recover from a bike ride. i'm getting old. life ends at 21 apparently.
so i tried to relive my youth this weekend. and now i'm paying for it, i'm in so much pain.
Al's Wedding
so al's wedding was this past friday. thursday nite was the rehearsal. we were all milling about waiting for people. steves mom and bro hadn't showed up yet, and neither did my groomsman. we were gonna start without them and i'm like, 'umm....who am i walking down the aisle with???' then he showed up, so it was all good. BUT, then i somehow ended up walking down the isle with my ex instead. which wasn't AS bad as i thought it would be, we did date after all, so we both had the same twisted sense of humour and it was kinda amusing. but then later al found out i was walking down the isle with him instead of andrew, so she had a caniption fit and made us change it around cuz everyone's names will be called out in a certain order at the reception :P
so anyways, steve's mom showed up an hour late, as usual. we reheared the ceremony a few more times, then we all headed to steves mom's for a bbq and drinks. me and ang bailed a bit early cuz we were uber tired. and my hair appt was at 8:30am the next morning.
so friday was the wedding. that morning was spent getting hair done then meeting up at al's parents to dress and get makeup done. i bought al a timmy ho coffe and spiked it with bailys, just a little something to warm her up. the ceremony was at 2pm...which started late, surprise surprise. afterwards we all went and got pics done, which was a pain in the ass, but whatever. apparently you can sense a lotta tension between bridesmaids and groomsmen....well lets see, myself, i had an ex bf there, and me and the best man didn't see eye to eye and i wanted to deck him. i was fine with my groomsman...not anymore though, i'm mildly irritated with him as well. and ang wanted to kill the bestman...and dana just followed us around. so when the photographer tried to get casual pics of us mingling, we'd always be girls on one side, boys on the other lol. we didn't wanna get near the guys. steve later gave us shit for being cliquey. we weren't clicky, we just didn't like them.
that nite the reception went quite well. good eats, i was able to take my shoes off and keep them off for most of the nite until we started dancing..and even then i danced most of the time barefoot. the dj sucked ass, but i still danced quite a bit.i even danced to country music..gah. i tried to get drunk, since it was free bar and everything, but i just didn't get a buzz. i had like 10 drinks, but nadda. oh well. at least i wasnt' hungover. the nite was kinda uneventful...i guess most amusing part was a couple guys jumped into the hotel's pool in their suites...and dana got plastered and bitched out the best man lol. i missed it though!!!
saturday was gift opening. uneventful...steves mom was late again. we were all so tired and falling asleep on the couches. i fell asleep sat nite around 6ish, slept till 8;30..sat around watching tv a bit, then went to bed just after ten.
Sunday
so nolan wakes me up at 9:30am. but i forgive him, cuz he brought me mcdonalds breakfast. gold star for him! we lounged around all day on the couch...cuz thats what we do best. that nite was the GODSMACK concert...which was fab!!! i was meeting up with karen from work and her hubby. i didn't have much to drink that nite though, which is good; i sure wouldn't have wanted to make a fool outta myself there. i ran into so many peeps i knew, including an old buddy of mine i haven't seen in years. my bro was there too, he was working security..which was hilarious, cuz he was one of the front dudes at the bar in the pit. so here was when i decided to relive my youth lol. i get antsy as hell at concerts, and this one was awesome cuz it had a beer garden, and tables and the mosh pit you could wander around in. so anyways, i was at the back looking at the mosh pit, and i had the urge to go in. i left my valubles with my friends and headed in. i ended up running into sol in the pit, which was crazy considering how many people were in there..like what are the chances??? anyways, i headed into the middle of the zoo and went surfing lol. and who was the lucky security dude to catch me and drag me off the crowd?? my bro lol. he gave me shit but it was so worth it. i was completely drenched with sweat when i left there, it was crazy hot, but soo fun. i got nailed in the nose again, my poor beak always gets a beating in mosh pits, and i almost lost a contact, which woulda sucked cuz i got those wikkid ones that you can sleep in. but yah, fun fun. i knew i'd be hurting today though. i took it easy for a bit after that. nolan was kind enough to loan me his shoulders, so i had a wikkid view of the crowd and the oh so sexy lead singer for a while. he's so hot. during the last song i went into the pit again to do some surfing..but the crowd was getting kinda rough, and by the time i got around the rough spots, the song ended and the lights came on. so i surfed outta there...and got grabbed by a security dude that i actually went to highschool with, so that was amusing. me and nolan and company hung around for a while after and i went and visited with my bro for a bit.
he gave me the song list that was taped up on the stage. he told me not to flash that around cuz apparently a lotta people wanted it and would probably kick my ass to get it...like come on people, its a song list :P its not like it was signed or anything. i ended up giving it to nolan anyways. after that we went home and i passed out. but slept like shit cuz my neck was killing me and my legs were all crampy. gahhhh. i hate my body sometimes. i'm in such rough shape today, i can barely turn my neck. i need to see a chiropractor.
and thats the end of my long story.
so i tried to relive my youth this weekend. and now i'm paying for it, i'm in so much pain.
