the clumsy stripper
i'm so happy with how my party turned out. it was such a mad rush to get things done that I didn't even have time to think about how well things would turn out. On Friday I spent so much time running, i was too tired to go out later that night. unheard of for me.
Woke up Saturday pretty early, but didn't really want to get going just yet. Lila's fight was that evening so I was trying to have her rest, but I didn't want her slowing me down either because I still had a lot of food to prepare. She had been telling me that she needed to be in Springfield at 7pm all week so I figured I had a bunch of time to get ready. We went to the store for a long shopping trip and I got back home and I just started busting ass cooking and cleaning. Lila helped a little, but she mainly just rested. around 5:30p, Lila decides to call her coach and ask what time she should be at the venue. He tells her 6:15, which basically means we should be leaving NOW. I was NOT ready to hear that and she started getting frustrated because I wasn't ready yet. We had planned to ride up together and obviously it wasn't going to happen now. So while she's getting ready, I'm still cooking and I tell her not to worry, I'll be there well before the match starts, but she needed to leave asap. Then she tells me that she was really counting on me to come with her because her car's not totally registered yet and she doesn't feel comfortable driving it out of state. WHAT? I looked at her like she had an arm growing out of her face. "you told me that was taken care of already! you told me that a week ago!" "I assumed it would be by now." I was so heated at her, but I had no time to dwell, I still had to cook. She eventually left and came back with tears running down her face. She said she'd be lying if she didn't tell me that she wanted us to ride up together and she wanted me by her side the whole time like we'd planned. I told her that as much as I wanted that too, I had oodles of things to do that I thought I had more time for since she told me we didn't have to leave until 7 or 7:30. So I rushed whatever I could get done in a short time, and we headed out the door.
Turns out Lila's fight was the 2nd to last, so we had quite a long wait. It wasn't so bad though because she was really anxious to get going and my roommates seemed to have everything under control back at the house. I was getting pretty nervous about her fight though. One of her teammates got in the ring, a guy delivered a swift kick to his neck and he went down in an instant. apparently, this MMA shit is nothing to fuck with. But everyone assured me that Lila was a good fighter and the same wouldn't happen to her. Turns out they were right. She did really well and ended up winning. I have no idea how because I could barely watch much of it, but the girl ended up tapping out.
After the fight we rushed back down to CT and the party was already well underway. I saw a few people on the porch and was worried that the inside was dead. I stepped in the house and it was a really good turn out! people were making out, laughing, having a good time, some were drunk as HELL. Courtney gave me my ears (we were going as Josie and the Pussycats along with Gannon's girlfriend Elyse) and I went and got dressed. the first thing Martina did when I came in was handed me a shot of grain alcohol. OOOOOmg i think my stomach is still ripped apart! i hadn't eaten since about 2pm so that shot went straight to my head. i only needed about 2 more drinks to be drunk enough for the night.
Unfortunately I have no pictures. I lost my battery charger for my camera so it was out of service for the night. soooooooo pissed about that because our costumes were so great! We didn't win sexiest costume tho. My friends Jessica and Ali won that with no dispute from me because...wow...fishnets. omg. And then there was the whole portable stripper pole. I'm not the only one who fell off the damn thing, but there were mad people watching when I fell. Good times. this just shows me that I need a REAL stripper pole. let me hurry up and buy that home.
The house is still a mess. As long as the food and cups are cleaned up tho, I really could care less. tonight is my night to do whatever i please by myself, and I'm taking that opportunity.
