Digital camera... wah!
I feel a deep, empty hollowness from the loss of my expensive and useful friend. The cheap-ass disposable camera I was forced to buy for the party felt like a cheap whore who wears too much lipstick. I mean, she gets the job done, but after you use her you feel dirty.
I can't even post any pictures. I didn't realize how much I depended on my digital camera until I lost her in those chlorinated depths. I put in new batteries and she still refused to blink her pretty green light for me. Tease.
All camera drama aside... it was a great party. Yeah, we had a housewarming party on Saturday and man, the roomies and I dropped some bank! We bought 2 kegs, a pool table and $300 worth of food and hard alcohol. I think it was worth it. Everyone had a great time it seemed and I got tons and tons of compliments on the new place. I need to take pictures of my pimp palace and post them. Damn digital camera! I can't even Ebay now. Argh! But I digress.
I decided not to go out on Friday in order to prepare the place. I was in a bad mood and didn't feel like getting ready. Mike and Christine took off around 11:30 which left Josh and I. I don't know Josh all that well yet and he is going through a rough time because him and his girlfriend just broke up. He stayed in with me and we cuddled on the couch. I am pretty attracted to him, but I am not going to repeat history. Hooking up with a roommate is a horrendous idea. I slept in his bed on Thursday night as well, but thank God I wasn't drunk and kept my head, because if it was up to him, we would have. I would love to build a solid friendship with this guy and that won't happen if we sleep together. We need to build a level of respect and understanding. But good lord... he is an amazing kisser, and Saturday morning was probably the most passionate and best kiss I can ever recall. Man! I hate this! I don't want to start liking him! If he hooks up (which he did on saturday out of revenge on his ex) I don't want to get jealous. I don't want to wonder where he is. I have been down this road before and I did not like the way it made me feel.
I am trying to soak up the new roommate honeymoon period and milk every moment for all it is worth. My other male roommate Mike is such an amazing guy and I can't get enough of him right now. I have never clicked with anyone so instantly and felt so comfortable so fast. I am truly blessed to have him in my life. He gets me. And that makes me question his sanity a bit.
Saturday was amazing. I was way stressed when I woke up because I felt we had tons to accomplish in a short amount of time. Everything came off smoothly though. People started really showing up around 5:30. I am so glad we have a front yard. People were playing Bacci ball and later, we set up a table procured at Home Depot after the party started and got a Flip cup tournament going. I missed out because my parents showed up. My mom was really impressed with the place and my friends. My parent think of me as an angry bitch... because in high school I made their lives miserable. When I lived with them over a year ago, I was always depressed. I am so glad they got to see me as I am now. Happy and well-adjusted, living in a beautiful place with people who love me. I think it threw my parents off to have so many people coming up to them, giving them a hug and saying "I love your daughter." I finally felt like an adult around them, no the angry, spoiled little bitch they had to live with all those years.
I can't believe we went through 2 kegs in 4 hours. Most of my friends were drinking hard alcohol anyway, so that was a large accomplishment and a testament to how much Enterprise people drink. Yeah, all of my roommates work at Enterprise and 90% of the people they hang out with work there as well. It's like a cult sans Kool-Aid.
I also can't believe we went through 60 hamburgers. I only remember making one batch, but apparently some Emeril's took it upon themselves to make the rest. I was saddened to see the empty boxes on the front lawn. I thought the roomies and I would be eating hamburgers this week, but I guess we are stuck with 5 packages of 79 cent Jewel-brand hotdogs and 4 packages of hamburger buns. Great.
I have been remiss in updating. Sorry. I have also been pretty boring. Again, I apologize. I am sure something angst and rant worthy will happen soon.
Why do I always get sent stuff a year after everyone else has seen it? i was forwarded this on Friday and thought it was great... but when I sent it around I got a lot of responses like "You just saw that??? Shit bitch, I saw that 7 months ago!"
