self-appointed exile from the internet, broken after 5 weeks
So. Here I am.
Surprisingly, it feels like a lot has happened in 5 weeks. I'm going to shorten most everything...
I went to Colorado with a couple other people from KC (Mike Chris and Cary) to see another friend (Amber) and had a great time. The weather was perfect and her family was awesome. It was good to get away from KC, and to finally get to Colorado; I've been half way there for 4 years and never gone.
Said goodbye to so many people in KC as everyone began departing for parts far and wide. Had an absolutely great night celebrating Bev's fare well - had fun with people I have so unfortunately not been around enough in recent times (2 years?)...and we mud wrestled after being got in buckets of rain. I held my own if not beat out my roommate (Will) who is much bigger than me.
We had our final poker nights in which the most people ever showed up, although it ended up being porch night more so than poker night. But hey, after a year of playing poker I made a clean $20.80
(I've got pictures of most of this BTW)
Then we had my goodbye party (yes, I am again a resident of Kentucky) at the old reliable Harling's Upstairs. My favorite KC Irish bar (pub) and my favorite KC Irish musician Jonathan Ramsey. However, this is where things get fun. Upon leaving the bar with my friends I found a van parked so close to a friends car (Destiny) she was having trouble getting in to it. I was a little drunk, and I kicked his car. Keep in mind that I was wearing sandals and that it was an 80's conversion van with a steel bumper (which is what I kicked). He was in the van, and he wasn't happy. After bitching to me for 5 minutes he got back in his car and I started walking down the street with my friends. Now that would be anticlimactic, no? Guess who pulls up next to us - thats right, the guy in the van. After bitching/yelling at me for another 5 minutes he sucker punched me once in the nose and drove off leaving all of us stunned and me bleeding profusely. I washed it off at a friends place, put a band-aid on and went home to bed. I woke up with a trail of blood leading to my ear and pooling there, two black eyes and a severely swollen nose. It is/was fractured and the careful observer will notice that my nose now goes a little to my left. I've got pictures of it the morning after too. However, the black eyes and swelling are now almost completely gone.
Two days after that I arrived home Saturday May 29 (?) with a friend (Destiny) in tow. She is originally from New Hampshire but spent 2 years in Lexington so she came back partially to see people and a cat there. While she was here I was more caught up with being a good host and I was fine but as soon as she left I missed everyone in KC. That's right, I miss you all.
She left about 3 weeks ago. I have left my house about 4 times since then - today for a graduation party at my dads. Once for a birthday dinner at the Irish Rover Too (in LaGrange). Once to the bank and to get a few applications. And once more to keep David company. However, in my defense we are also selling our house and much of my time has been attempting to prepare it for sale.
Nonetheless, my final statement is this.
Rescue me...please.
