what a rockstar weekend!!!
i've pretty much neglected this thing, but life keeps throwing me curve ball after curve ball. it's pretty fucking annoying. i keep getting to a point where i'm ok with the things that are happening, and then something happens to fuck it up. whatever. i had a really good weekend start to end. so that was a really nice change from the ordinary.
friday night Shel and i went to Shar and Gene's and just hung out, talked, and played some rock band. my friends can make even the most ordinary things fun. me and Gene did this one song that was like 10 minutes long and he was playing guitar and i was on drums, and we pretty much killed it! it was awesome! haha i love my friends. you don't need alcohol to have a good time like so many people think...c'mon people seriously?? obviously your friends just aren't as awesome as mine haha.
saturday lots of things happened. me, Al, Johnny and my mom went to look for a computer chair, then went to Denny's to get some brunch. after that we drove up to the storage place near Mark's house so Johnny could get a washer out for the shelter. when i came home, i showered and got ready pretty quickly, and Shel picked me up to go to aunt Bet's for a Tastefully Simple demonstration. yum!! pretty delicious if you ask me haha. then at like 10:15 or so Shel and i left to go up to Whiskey Tango to meet Will and some of his friends. we had to park like two blocks away, and i had short sleeves on...go figure haha. i had a really good time though. Split Decision was playing, and they are AMAZING!!! no wonder everyone loves them so much!! we got our dance on, had some drinks and some laughs and partied the night away haha. good times. that was the first time i was at that bar...i'd go back. and apparently Allison said there's an upstairs that we didnt even venture to. hmm. haha
sunday was another good day. me and Al worked the PAWS table at the Flyers' Wives Fight for Lives Carnival. that was fun. we had to get there like an hour early, so after we set up we just got to sit and watch as the players were escorted to their stations and all. it was really cool. one of the Phantoms' players was talking to us about the dogs as he walked by, and he had a fantastic accent! haha. the only thing i had REALLY wanted to do all day (because i knew the lines were long and i didnt want to leave the table for TOO long) was play guitar hero against one of the players. so i waited in line for like an hour or so, and it was kind of a guessing game of who i was gonna get to play against. while i was in line it was pretty much switching between Ryan Potulny, RJ Umberger, and Lasse Kukkonen. then when i was 3rd in line Jared Ross from the Phantoms started playing so i wound up playing against him. he was really nice. it was funny because the first two people that played against him played on expert, so when i went up he goes "Are you really good too?" haha i was like "no not at all, i play on easy!" LOL good times. i beat him though! whoo haha. Al took videos and pics and such. then i got my pic with him afterward. i'm such a dork when it comes to stuff like that. like when we were walking in with all our stuff to set up we walked through the VIP entrance and Bernie Parent was in there, and i was like "do you KNOW who that was??????" haha al just laughs at me. i had so much fun even with just people watching as they walked past our table...and i think we made over $1000!! yay!!
so yea, i had a fab weekend. now it's back to work :( haha i gotta go. ttyl with love and weekends that i wish would never end, Shannon
