**************DATELINE NAT'S GRAD PARTY****************
when brandy and i finally arrive it's just about 4:30 and the party is in full swing (or so we thought at the time.)
as it was a large and long day i shall bullet list this bad boy and delve into detail where i deem necessary.
upon arrival i make note of how nat's house appears to be a used car lot, including the poorly designed and poorly constructed building in which the deals are dealt.beth and tony actually showed. this despite their aversion to us after beth's graduationvolleyball. nuff said.food! boy, for a HUGE grad party the amount of food really was tiny. a single deli platter and a modicum of side dishes mainly consisting of a selection of picnic salads (potato, pasta) and a large pan of beans. i think they were more concerned with having a variety of alcohol to imbibe. (this would later prove to be a downfall.bees! after peppering my plate with a sandwich and some beans we sit down at the many tables outside to eat. bees also decide to try and eat. this creates quite a show as fanelli and i trap bees in cups with bowls and brandy promptly lets them go (because, "they're just BEES".) this cat and mouse game continues until we finish eating and leave to play a second game of volleyball.volleyball game 2! a much more organized and more fun game second time around. at first i play with one hand (can't give up my beer damnit) then two when my beer is empty. nat's dad continues to prove that the man and alcohol aren't a good combination at all. my team wins both sets! woo!bathroom break. as i step OUT of the bathroom i hear from brandy to come see nat's dad trying to kick the shit out of her brother. apparently the two got into some sort of disagreement over a game of horseshoes. i'll let you read that again. yeah, horseshoes. a friendly game of horseshoes turned ugly. it's at this point i seriously consider trying to create an excuse to leave. we quickly shuffle ourselves out of the house and into the backyard to fuel up with more beer and friends.the mick! he and i decide that despite the plethora of edibles delivered unto us for dinner we needed more. not only a 12 of miller high life but also mighty taco.bonfire! a large fire with lots of random shit thrown on. once our drinking games came to an end we threw our picnic table on the fire. sadly there was no dancing or pagan orgies. i did however call japan and speak with operator 2495 who was very nice and understanding despite my desire not to make a truly international call and connect with a third party. she was nice.haunted graveyard! ooooh scary! only not. it was called guggenheim or something like that. supposedly some doctor performed abortions and the field is filled with aborted fetuses. my question is what are fetus ghosts going to do to me? seriously. so that was bland and stupid.sleep!
sunday morning after we get up and have breakfast we leave for home. sunday was boring and nothing important happened. HA!
