Putting the "fun" back in "funeral"
monday:
woke up, got ready, and went to milford. got really messed up, and slept at shannons house.
tuesday:
woke up, went to my parents house, showered, got ready for the wake, and then went to walmart to get angela and her boyfriend. when we finally got to melrose we had to go pick up my grandfathers suit, then bring it back to his house. waited around dante's house for a few hours with a lot of people i didnt know, and left around 315 for the wake, which was 4-8. let me just say how much i hate open casket wakes...they suck. so when i got to the funeral home, i see two police cruisers out front with their lights on, and about like 6-8 cops all standing around. so im like, great, they're looking for someone and if they find him, they'll arrest him and it will be this huge scene...but it wasnt that, i guess they worked with my uncle when he was a security guard at the prison, and it was a union or something. so there was two officers standing next to the casket and it was really nice. and when my cousin jonathon saw me, he started crying, and hugged me and was like, "thanks for coming." i've only met him like once or twice, but he's a cool kid. when i went up to my aunt, to tell her how sorry i was, she was shaking and it was horrible....and then lynn and me went up to the casket together and said our last goodbyes or whatever you're supposed to do at a catholic wake...
so its almost over a few hours later, and i'm sitting next to my mother, trying to comfort her cuz shes crying...and then elvis' love me tender came on, and we both lost it...who the hell plays that at a wake??? anyway...i didnt stay for the whole wake, i couldnt,so me and ang and rob went and walked around downtown for a bit. we found a cvs near the funeral home, and went in and got my cousin and aunt something to drink, and a few packs of ciggarettes...
then we went back to my aunts house for a bit, and ate dinner and stuff for a few hours...some people drank... i did but i didnt get drunk. i had two bud lights and a white russian. my favorite drink. ha. so my dad, right, angela's a bar tender and she made him a drink cuz he wanted one, and he took a sip and was like, what the hell is that?? and she was like, its a white russian...and he goes "well what the fuck, i hate russians..." oh my god, im serious. so i had it.
we got home really late, and i ended up crashing at angela's house bc i didnt feel like sleeping at my parents. im not even shitting you, i didnt sleep at all. seeing dead people freaks me out. and then her roomate fell down the stairs, at like 115 in the morning. i didnt know what happened, i thought she hit her head...but she was fine, just really drunk.

and i had to get up at like, 545 cuz we left at 7...went to dunks, which sucked bc they messed up my coffee, and my fathers...and you just dont fuck with our coffee, especially that early in the morning. and then my mom and dad got into a fight and my mom threw this bag of m and ms at him...and it was funny.
so after being stuck in traffic we go to the funeral home (again) for an hour, then we have to drive to the church for the funeral. there were soo many people there...but i got to see a lot of my dad's cousins and i guess one is a multi millionare. so that was interesting. but when we had to say the hail mary or whatever it was, i had no idea how i knew most of it. cuz my mother was like, how the hell do you know that?? and i was like, fuck if i know....
so after the mass, we go back to my aunts house for dinner...but it was seriously only 11, and everyone started drinking...so everyone was plastered by one. we spent soo much money on liquor, 130$ on the second trip...but it was really nice, cuz its like you all get together and have a few drinks remembering him... i had a glass of wine and another white russian. and then we finally left. when i got home i went over shannons...got really messed up again...and then went back to my parents to get my stuff, got gas, and left. I TOOK THE HIGHWAY THE WHOLE WAY TO AUBURN!!!!!!!!!!! thats right. i was so excited.
had to take my car to my uncles house so he could look at it..then came home and crashed. and now im off to mass again. i guess we're doing my birthday today cuz i wasnt here monday. kbye.
