amusements of my days during the last week:
a) went to nico's work's holiday party last friday (important to note: his parents own the company). i got sloshed after like 2 glasses of wine--damn i'm weak. i wore cute little tight black pinstripe pants and saucy heels and totally split the shit out of my pants. i went to take a piss and broke the zipper right off of them. awesome. so i buttoned them back up and had the gaping eyehole around the puss. whenever i was talking to nico's parents or their friends or any old people at all, i turned my around-the-waist tied sweater so as to cover the HUGE ASS broken fly crotch hole. then when i was with nico and his friends, i opened that shit up and laughed about it. i told like five people who hadn't noticed yet. then i proceeded to eat lots of ham so as to sober up but that didn't do much good. we crashed in dellyware, and i went home wearing high heels, a t-shirt, and little pajama shorts that belonged to nico's big brother's girlfriend. whatta night.
b) sunday night the dirty hippies next door had a big holiday soiree. they made homemade garland and string for lights. they were totally cute. but since i kinda hate dirty hippies i couldn't enjoy it. they played the five albums they always play: bob marley, led zeppelin, grateful dead, van morrison, and they throw in jackson 5 to not acknowledge how white they are. they had a drum circle for god sakes. and there were old parents in there too. anyway, at like 12:30 or 1 in the morning someone knocked at the door. i was in the bedroom so i couldn't see the action but i heard only nico's voice, and he said something like "do you want to go to the party? that's next door." so i sped around the corner to make some joke about how we should have trapped the dirty hippy and had our way with his weed. nico had a huge smile on his face. he said the guy was some long-haired dude with a weird hat, stoned out of his gourd, and holding two long feathers in the air. hahahaha. the guy was so stoned he didn't say a word. he just stared at nico, and nico directed him next door. ha. hilarious.
c)went to holiday ladies night at lauren's place. i somehow got a tad wasted off of lauren's variety of too-strong-but-damn-good whiskey drinks. everyone got sleepy and went home and i was just waking up and feeling up for more fun. i drove home, called michelle to no avail, then derrick to no avail (he may be apparently saying goodbye to his girlfriend/my friend jaime who is moving back to philly i think--see many many entries ago), called nico like 7 times to no avail (sometimes i think calling him repeatedly over the period of 5 minutes makes it more likely that he'll change the whole direction of his evening for me...wrong), and was like 3 seconds from calling all of the girls i had already seen that night and telling them to wake up and go out for a drink. but i knew that it would, also, be an unsuccessful venture. so i just drank a little more and went to bed.
d) i drove a uhaul truck. a ten footer (i officially rule). and moved the rest of my shit out of the south philly apartment and dumped it all over the loft. nico offered to drive it, but i totally insisted. it was scary and really really fun. nico was totally cute and followed right behind me every inch i drove, but i didn't even know since the thing was so damn big i couldn't see behind me. i had to put my backpack behind me to prop me up so i could reach the pedals.
e)tuesday night i went to the new wave's holiday party. free buffet and open bar. the place was filled with tools, but rebecca and i had fun being flirty with dudes we just met (law students and such, ha). then me and nico just went home to get it on, and rebecca kept up our life's work. fun.
f)last night, i basically crooned over and died. after moving, then partying, and getting almost no sleep all week, i just shut down. good thing though since aislinn is coming up tonight. i'll actually have some energy to show philly off a little. hopefully this city will impress.
fare thee well all, i am off to argentina, and the hot spring (meghan, totally confirmed that it's close to where we're staying!)and awkward moments where nico's parents see me in slutty night clothes, and plenty of times for me to be among a kajillion people and just be peaceful by myself as they all chatter in spanish and i just happily don't know.
happy new year. here's to 2005. oh jesus, that's right, i'm gonna be 25. isn't that like really adult-y?
