Wooo! This was the GREATEST weekend! It was my
friend Kara's birthday on Sunday, and Julie decided to have
a party for her, so eleven people came into town, seven of
whom stayed at my apartment! I love having guests, so that
was exciting! Saturday night, eight people actually stayed
over because Chris was hanging out with us and he didn't feel
like walking home. It's great having so many overnight guests
because it's like slumber PARTY fun the whole time. Anne, Tim,
Joe, Clark, Jenny, Kelly, Schuster, Becky, Kara, Dan, and Chris
were all in town! Friday night we all went to the Union, where
the Party of Helicopters was playing. After the bands, Charlie
(my friend, not my cat!) was running his dance event, Danceable
Solution, which is always a fun time. After that we all hung
out at my house then went to sleep. Saturday was a cool day.
It was sunny and warm!
T-shirts in February! So a bunch of us walked uptown and at
lunch on the college green. Then we went to the record store,
and visited some uptown shops. Then we went back and hung around
at my place doing nothing for awhile. Then Kara, Anne, Jenny
and I went to buy beer for Kara's party, and we went to the
mall. For dinner, Dirty cooked for EVERYBODY over at his house,
and it was AMAZING!! He made meat lasagna, vegetarian lasagna,
meatballs, garlic bread and salad. And it was all absolutely
fantastic. Everybody had seconds. After dinner we all went
to Zachary's for fancy drinks. I got a grasshopper, and it
was DELICIOUS!
Then it was about time to go to the party. It
was a fun party. I will have pictures soon. The most exciting
event of the night involved Jenny Wray's disgusting orange
drink. She had a bottle of that orange crap called "Orange
Dream." It comes in a big plastic bottle, has alcohol
already mixed into it, and is supposed to taste like a creamsicle.
Jenny insists that this is a delicious drink, but all the
rest of us agree that it is revolting. So Anne and I ran
back to
my house and grabbed a permanent marker (I live about 6 houses
down from Julie) and went back to the party and wrote "Nightmare" over "Dream" in
big black letters. I thought that was pretty funny ha ha
ha! So it was "Orange Nightmare!" HA HA!
Anyway,
Jenny kept saying that this drink was soooooo great, and
in an effort
to prove it, announced that she would, in fact, drink the
entire bottle that night all by herself. So our next mission
was to ensure
that this happened. We failed. We did get her to drink
at least one though! You're supposed to mix it with crushed
ice. There
was no blender to be found, so Clark made do with a meat
tenderizer and a paper towel. Jenny successfully avoided
drinking much
at all. But she got a lot of random people to taste it.
Several
of them actually LIKED it, too! Yeah... maybe this story
will make more sense when I get the pictures developed.
We
stayed at Julie's party until about four, when we ordered a
bunch of calzones and walked back to my apartment to wait for
them. It was a fun party. This morning, we all went to Union
Street Cafe, a little diner that ROCKS. There were 13 of us,
so it was a little difficult for them to seat us. They ended
up splitting us into three different booths. Breakfast was
delicious. Afterwards, everyone packed back up into their cars
and departed. Sigh.
