a la weekend?
I spent the weekend up at Berry. Friday night was a bunch of people I didn't know and only a handful of those people drinking kinda creeps me out. I hid on the porch for the majority of Friday evening. But last night was really, really sweet.
After reaching a point of slight social discomfort, Katy rounded up the majority of the people in her house (another packed living room...) to go to another party. Considering my mindset, I really had no interest in leaving the house. So while people streamed out the door, I plopped myself down on the couch with Lisa and her friend Lindsey, whom I barely knew, and instructed them not to ditch me. And even though I haven't hung out with Lisa on a semi one-on-one basis like that in years...and that I still harbored strangeness towards Lindsey...I could not have found a more perfect way to pass the evening after my original plans had fallen through. We ended up drinking...of course...and playing some card game revolving around drinking. For a while, Lisa Loeb was on the stereo, which made me miss Jayne, because I think only Jayne could appreciate the total whackness of drinking to something as crazy as Lisa Loeb (like playing crazy eight's, watching Grease, and drinking Jack...). The evening progressed into a lot of drunken conversations, some good bonding time between Lindsey and I, and I think I totally scrapped my inhibitions and sang (horribly, probably...) while Lisa played the guitar. I honestly didn't expect to have much fun last night, and I really had wanted to spend the evening in other company...but c'est la vie. Lisa and Lindsey took good care of me.
Almost like camping, Larry. But not quite. : )
I am now home...much earlier than I ever anticipated being home...and having run, eaten something, and showered, I feel ready to start my day--at 307PM. I'm supposed to go to a family dinner tonight...since I leave for school in two days...but somehow I'm not entirely sure that whole Event will work out the way Momma hopes it will.
So I'm going to go watch little girl movies by myself.
I have to distract myself.
I cannot believe that the summer is almost over.
I'm not ready to be done yet.
