Careless In Our Summer Clothes

Best 4th of July weekend ever!
Carolyn's birthday celebration.
With many friends. Old and new.
48 hour non stop hang out. With
at least 10-15 people at all times.

Joe's Inn for Carolyn's bday lunch
w/ Carolyn, Laura, Phil, Ray Ray,
Heather, Dan, Ana, Judge, Sean,
and Kira. My mushroom burger
had sketchy strips of red peppers
on it that looked like Gene Simmons
tongues, which led to inappropriate
perversion between Ray Ray and I.

After lunch, Asher, Lay Lay, and Becca
showed up. I switched into their car
and we ended up going bumper boating.
We all got soaked and then got kicked
out when I dared Carolyn to climb the
fake lighthouse in the middle of the pool.

Next we went swimming at this random
apartment complex and Erin joined us.
Ana brought Carolyn cup cakes, so we
lit them and did the happy birthday ish.

Back at the apartment, I helped Julian
grill out on the 805's porch. Then we
all ate and watched Carolyn open her
presents. After that, we chilled outside
on the porch waiting for fireworks at
The Diamond to start. Julian, Laura,
Lay Lay, and I sat on the hood of my
car and threw strawberries at traffic
as it passed by. The neighbors were
laughing at us from their balcony and
invited all of us to watch the fireworks
with them, since they had a better view.

Once we got up there, most of them were
pretty hazed and "shared the wealth"
with me, which would've been more
fun if someone in our group joined me.
After awhile, the guys went from being
friendly to obnoxious and we bailed after
one of them threw a firecracker at Ana.

After fireworks, which didn't go off until
midnight ish, we headed over to the Deli
to see if anything was happening there.
We ran into Rosey, but other than that,
it was just our group. We danced to a
few songs, then we headed back home.

Saturday, we went to a late lunch at Viva
Mexico, then some of us decided to stop
by Dan's "30 Is The New 20" bday cookout.
We stayed for about a half hour, took some
pictures, then headed back to the apartment
for late afternoon laziness. We ate rice dream
and watched Death At A Funeral, then Dan &
Ray Ray came over and suggested laser tag.
We all got way too into it and came up with
crazy names and tried to team up on all the
kids playing that we didn't know, but most of
us ended up scoring in the bottom half anyway.

After laser tag, the girls headed to a strip club
for "ladies night" and the guys headed to Galaxy
Diner for milkshakes... how backwards is that?
The weekend ended with "pranks gone wrong"
and some of us making a 3am Waffle House run.

Weekends like this give me things to miss in
Richmond, but no reason whatsoever to stay.
