So the big dinner party was a fun disaster. Fun in that we all had good food, good conversation, way too much to drink... and disaster in that Mick, Chris and Amanda thought it would be cool to shoot fire works off the balcony. Yes. we got in big trouble. Lots of threats. Eviction threats. Fines threats. No fun at all. And I think Shelley got mad at me. But we're better now. Fire works are officially banned forever from this place. but in their defense this place is just really, really anal about stuff. the fireworks lasted less than a minute. b/c the three of them only shot of one a piece, at the exact same time. so less than a minute of noise caused all these problems. it was mild compared to when we blew up easter eggs with bottle rockets at the old place. but anyway, I'll explain further why this place is anal in just a second...
I've been really sick the past few days. I caught a cold in the middle of summer somehow.
I took Chris on a surprise date last night to the Fox Theatre to see My Fair Lady, the old movie. It was so beautiful. We sat up really high under the blue stary sky. And its one of his favorite old movies. We had a really nice time...
After the date, there was a note on my door saying that we had been fined $50 for trash outside out door. And what they meant by "trash" was firewood we bought while at the old place and moved to the new place. Since we left it outside the door at our old place, we did the same thing here. But apparently somebody here complained about it and so they threw it away and charged us $50. I tried to get out of it today by saying that nobody ever told us it was a problem, but I couldn't get the charges dropped. So i'm wondering how much I still like this place. I don't always obey rules very well, and I had wanted to have big b-day bash for mar here just like last year. but now we may need to find a new spot, or lock the balcony door....
