getting over you
hey boys and girls. get excited, because this post promises to have maximum pictures and minimum paragraphs about what i've been up to. aka you dont have to read a novel's worth of livejournal today. but there are almost 70 pictures so suck it up and get comfortable.
let's start back in good ole dayton, ohio.
the day after i got back from ND was my little sister's birthday. which, in addition to making me feel even older, made me feel like a horrible sister since i failed to A) get her a present and B) remember how old she was. so after i'd signed her card "Happy 10th birthday (double digits, finally!) to the best sister in the world!", my brother handed it back to me and grunted "yeah.... she's 11. not 10." negative 49 points for me.
us snuggling in my bed the day before i had to leave for texas.
it's scary to me how much we look alike. except for "coloring," all our features are exactly the same.
uh we also went to my brother's drum concert. he's the white one with long hair. shouldnt be too hard to pick him out...
well that concludes my short time in dayton. on to texas.
this is my room at my aunts house. it's kinda more like an antique bed and breakfast room than a 20-year-olds bedroom. i feel guilty everytime i leave even one thing on the floor. not that anyone would care. im just used to my POS dorm room i guess.
one of the first days after i got there, my favorite "band" was doing an in-store to promote his new CD, so abby, lauren and i checked it out.
a few days later, Katie flew into town to stay with me for a week and a half of gloriousness. and laziness. but mostly gloriousness.
we watched this oprah about "How to pick the right bra for you."
the right bra for Katie is obviously not my push-up bra.
thennn mark came back into town (he goes to the naval academy, as does danny, and they have to spend most of their summer there), and he invited us all to his sister's graduation party. i think i saw every child from church that i used to babysit for. it was cool.
andrew lookin porn star-ish. or sad.
hey mark, way to RUIN THINGS
ahhh i miss this cutie
pete and katie, i love this picture
andrew and mark, fake smiling
later that night we went to pete's sweet apartment to hang out.
russel (pete's roommate) and abby
ok so pete's house is split into a "downstairs apartment" where some random TCU kids live, and an "upstairs apartment" where pete and russel live. meaning the downstairs kids get a front porch, but pete and russel get this awesome covered carpets balcony-porch thing. i dont know how to explain it but it's the best place to hang out on texas summer nights.
see what i mean?
andrew kept wanting me to take a "facebook" picture of him
but that didnt work out so well
then we went inside and played Catchphrase, which is possinly the best group game ever and i am DEFINITELY buying it and bringing it back to school with me. and yes, it can be made into a drinking game as well.
it gets just as intense as it gets hilarious. at least with us, anyways.
katie
andrew
pete
liz
lauren (right after she claimed that a "cross between a horse and a donkey" is a "honkey." not a mule. a honkey.)
russel (the scariest player)
i dont even know what's going on with his legs, so dont ask.
alright now the wedding. like i said in my last post, lauren and josh's cousin (whom ive been acquainted with for as long as i can remember) got married to the most beautiful girl ever in oklahoma city this weekend. so the three of us girls spent a good 3 and a half hours in the backseat of a Civic together. i think we spent at least 30 minutes taking redundant pictures of each other.
obviously, we are really cool.
and what's cooler than that was the rehearsal dinner, which was held at the strangest "Botanical Gardens and Statue Museum" place. really, i dont know what the hell it was. so when we got bored we took a walking tour of the place and snapped odd pictures.
your eyes dont deceive you, that's a huge bronze fish floating above katie's head
seducing the statue
Lauren Jones and Bethany Perkins, Lesbian Prom 2005
yeah then it got really corny
i fake-married lauren and katie.
i swear we are 7 years old sometimes.
as best man, josh made a really good toast.
it's weird to think that we're already at the age to be Best Man and Maid of Honor.
please no one get married soon.
im serious.
dont.
day of the wedding.
and yes, i did cry all the way through the ceremony.
and also an hour and a half before it, just by thinking looking around the church.
i think maybe i have too much estrogen or something.
then the we went to the reception and had a marvelous time. well, i had a great time, and lauren had at least 8 glasses of wine.
the blurry newlyweds.
my girls are so prettttty
lauren, with about 1/16 of her daily calorie intake. that girl can eat.
josh and katie. check out how enormous her boobs look. what a woman.
check out the concentration on lauren's face.
once katie and lauren had both been drunk for awhile (and i had not had anything but a Coke since i cant even sniff wine/champagne wihtout wanting to throw up), they decided they wanted me intoxicated too. so they graciously contributed $12 to the Bethany Alcohol Scholarship Fund. which we then proceeded to put in our shirts.
i know i look drunk, but trust me i am stone cold sober. however, katie is not, which would explain why the camera is not even close to upright.
creepyyyyyyyyyyyyy
hahahahaha i think this is my favorite picture from summer. seriously.
josh (at least 15 drinks in) and me
Lauren and her mommy
josh rockin out on air keyboard.
cute
aw i love brother-sister pictures
the garter toss. which, smartly, none of us participated in.
i think the drunkenness reached it's peak on the ride back to the hotel bar. case in point:
we went back upstairs to change before heading back down to the bar, but when i walked out of the bathroom i found katie in this position, giggling for about 5 minutes straight.
good effing times.
the rest of the night was a disaster, however. katie and i started out just the two of us in a king-sized bed, falling asleep at 2am. in the period between 2am and 9:15 am, i was woken up 7 TIMES (i counted) by people coming in ad out of the room. including a completely random girl at 4:15am who walked in, said "josh told me i could sleep in here", and then told us it wasnt a problem for her to sleep in between katie and i in the bed. we didnt even know this girl's name until the morning (at which time she actually climbed onto a one-person cot while lauren was sleeping in it).
since then katie has flown back to mississippi, lauren has started summer school, josh went back to montana, and my aunt and uncle went to colorado and left me here alone for 4 days. o yeah, and i am still jobless. score. the one productive thing i could do is to clean the house, but i cant even do that because the maids come in the morning. i have absolutely nothing to do all day but make livejournals and TiVo anything remotely interesting on TV. i need a hobby i think.
c ya.
