Loving Life
I'm still alive! I swear! I've just been too busy experiencing an actual life to update, so it's a good thing.
Wednesday, Annie wanted to have some picnic thing with some peeps from highschool and at first, I was sure she only inviting me because I happened to be in her contacts list when she sent the mass text, so I didn't want to go. (We weren't doing so well, remember?) But Josh happened to talk me into it last minute, and I actually had fun! Surprise! I forget how awesome Carly and Amy when I don't see them for months on end. I really wish I would hang with them more. And even Jessica and Justin came! Good jokes were had despite the fact we were invaded by swarms of bees. You haven't experienced hilarity until you see Exterminator Josh kick some insect ass with a Tupperware lid and a girly scream.
Afterwards, we took turns riding Jessica's brand new moped/scooter thing around the parking lot. Totally fun. I want one now.
Then, after that, everyone congregated a la casa de mio for some intense hair salón-ing. How long would you think it would take to color and style 5 different bitches' hair? Well, if your answer if TWELVE FUCKING HOURS then you, my friend, are correct. Up first was Jessica: who has super short hair and we just tinted it red, blew dry, straightened, and called a day. Annie: dyed the bottom half of her long ass hair black while keeping her natural red on top, blew dry and straightened, and also cut her bangs. At first I think she hated it, but I thought it looked hella cute and I'm telling myself that she grew into liking it since Lil Miss Complainer would most likely complain if she didn't. I think. Ooo, then I did Amy: first we had to bleach her hair before putting in the pink and blue highlights. After I blew dry and curled her hair, bitch was HOT. Everyone made fun of me because I have an obsession with Asians to begin with, and I wouldn't shut up about I was going to adopt her adorable Chinese ass. Then, Clarissa (is that her name? I didn't really talk to her much in highschool and that was 3 years ago. I feel bad) wanted bleach blond on top of her head with her natural black on bottom (basically opposite of Annie) and I felt so bad for her because she basically had to put up with a frying scalp for two hours while the bleach/toner processed. But after I blew dry and straightened her hair, this lesbo was making the panties drop left and right. (I hope her job doesn't make her dye it back.) And then finally --FINALLY-- Carly was up and we gave her Annie's hair except hot pink (which meant another hour of bleaching first) on the bottom. Blew dried and curled her hair, everyone was happy and by then it was 4:00am so I kicked everyone out and went to bed. Everyone knows that I absolutely love dying hair and WILL get offended if you don't ask me to do yours, so this was definately one of the most fun days I've had in a while. (Did I tell you I cut Zach's hair and then gave Chris a McDonald red Mohawk last week? It looks so good. I swear that would be my permanent hair style if I was a dude.) I seriously should consider beauty school.
Thursday was a relaxing day where I enjoyed myself by sitting around doing nothing because frankly, we all need those days.
Friday was the day Annie, Carly, and myself spontaneously decided to get matching lip rings. Holla! Poor Jessica was going to come, but had to work. Sucka! Annie freaked out whole time since she was the only one who's never had it done before. Carly and I had them previously, but they closed up sometime over the years. In the end, it totally didn't hurt and it was a fun bonding experience. Our piercer guy would have been hot if he didn't have one of those bull nose ring septum piercings (which I hate in the first place) that was gaged to a size -500 as if he were on the National Geographic Channel. Shit must have been an inch thick. I wanted to ask him how he breathes.
Later that day, Annie and I hung out at the mall together, which we haven't done in forever since A) Kent is ALWAYS AROUND, GOD and B) we kind of hate each other most of the time. But get this: we actually had FUN. It was nice.
Saturday was the epic fun times of awesomeness since Josh, Annie, and I spent the day in Albuquerque for the Hellogoodbye show. For a while, there was some drama on whether or not we were going to go. Annie's car broke a few weeks ago and I obviously don't have one and Josh's mom didn't want him to drive for whatever reason, but finally caved at the last minute on the condition we get a hotel for the night so that her kid isn't driving home 3 hours at 1:00 am. Yay! It was fun. We basically went shopping all day and then visited Josh's dad and stepmom in the hospital since she gave birth to his baby brother two days before. He's so adorable! I finally met his dad and he seems like a cool dude. He showed us embarassing pictures of Josh as a kid and you could tell he loved his son. Cute. The Hellogoodbye concert itself was amazing as always. That was the 4th time seeing them and I love them. It was a crazy small venue (maybe a 100 people) and it might have been the first concert I've been to where there was no pushing against the barrier thank God. I'm too old for that shit. A lot of hot dudes were present but only ended up talking to one cute one, only because he talked to me first. Didn't catch his name, but he offered me a discount at the Hot Topic that he works at (hahaha) when I lost the ball to my new lip ring. I swoon at boys who are cute and jump around and sing along to HGB. Hee.
If you haven't received the memo thus far: Annie and I have turned a 180 and have been doing well these past few days. I like it because it's almost like old times. That, and I don't feel like disease in my own home anymore, and I no longer have the feeling of being bitter out of defense and shit. I miss those old times and for a moment, I was afraid we were going to move out while never speaking again. Today, Annie even came up to me and asked if it was too late and if I wanted to keep the apartment together. Unfortunately, I've kinda gotten used to the fact that I'm moving back in with my parents. I figure that it's for the best since it's easier to get a ride to work that way and I will also be able to save tons of money while doing so. I won't have to worry about rent. I could put that towards a car. But I really like living in this apartment, so now I'm all conflicted and she wants me to think about it. Gah! Why do you do this tome woman?! We also had a nice little talk about what has been bothering her about me, like how she always felt I was taking advantage of her and her car, among other things, and it was nice to get it out in the open, which is what we should have done long ago. We are far too similar and two passive agressive bitches who hate confrontation are never good problem solvers. I think she misses the old times too. <3
In other news, Josh leaves me for Albuquerque tomorrow and will be starting college. I am so effing sad.
