Theme Song: "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity" - Tomoyasu Hotei (from Kill Bill: Vol. 1)
After weeks of group emailing done by everyone BUT me, Alexis, knowing that I'm still not stepping foot in Pizza Hut or any other Hut for that matter, finally proposes a group outing I'm remotely interested in: A Night of Desserts. *slowly rises up from his sarcophagus* Did someone say, "Dessert?" ;-D Wednesday night rolls around and instead of just meeting @ Friendly's, the ladies decide to change the venue to the Double T Diner aka Pasadena's most popular hangout among octogenarians! Yay. When I arrive at the diner around 10 or so, I literally start to feel like a decrepit, old crone. Dig this: Angela doesn't make it to our casual reunion because she fell asleep at nine o'clock! *sad shake of head* I can just hear the Golden Girls theme song in my head right now. *nods off* Huh--Eh?! What I was talking about again? Oh right, dessert night.
Guests include Amanda Panda, Lexi, Allie, Jen, and Tina. Panda's doing very well, even though her health isn't the best at the moment. But hey, she's got herself a HOT new beau... and that's better than me at the moment. *sigh* Dessert conversation is the usual: roommates and their bad habits, the mob of cats taking over Washington College campus, and of course, the latest holiday crap out in theaters. At one point in the evening, I'm amazed that the 5 of us carry on 3 simultaneous conversations diagonally across the table. Wow, maybe their super-girl-powers are rubbing off on me! In other news, Tina's graduating with a degree in Family and Consumer Science, and Lexi is marrying Phil after she finishes college.
Two nights later, I find myself @ Nelly Nell's annual winter party. I walk into her house, like I have for over 9 years now, and it looks and feels frozen in time--a better time. It's been insane watching Janelle's younger sisters grow up, especially since I'm the baby of my family. Among others, I walk down that oh-so-familiar staircase to find Rice Lady, Chels, Super Mouse Shannon, Mike [who is playing "James: The Video Game" (breakdancing game) on someone's Nintendo DS], Jamaal, Lexi, and Phil aka her fiancee! That's right, fiancee.
After watching That 70s Show in high-def, Nelly breaks out a new addition to the party game line-up, Guitar Hero--kinda like DDR... but for your fingers. ~_o "Who's ready to get schooled on EASY?" Phil extends his challenge to everyone. Mike and Nelly end up blowin' everybody outta the water anyway. Once they get bored of playing, Chels and I rock on. :-D It must be hilarious for everyone else watching us strap on our plastic guitars, mainly 'cause she and I are probably the LEAST rockin' people in the room... all smiles, all the time. We square off against one another and play "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns 'N' Roses for SEVEN Minutes! That's right, those Guitar Hero songs are waaaay too long. Seriously, I need a snack break in between it's so tedious! Despite all that, I miraculously end up winning... I'm guessing it's because I managed to stay awake for MOST of the song.
I catch up with my girrrls. First up, Super Mouse Shannon. She graduated from the FILA Academy sometime last year and pretty soon she'll be allowed to work in a salon. Chels is still doing her mathematical thang @ UMBC, and physically, she still hasn't changed a bit.
And of course I had to chat it up with my #1 girl, RICE LADY!!! Let me tell ya, it's been 2 years since high school graduation, and that girl is still a trip. She's in her sophomore year at AACC and is double-majoring in Nursing and... Massage. That's right, Massage. And of course she has to tell me horror stories about massaging old guys with hard-ons and LaLaLaLaLa... Must think happy thoughts. *cringe* I really admire her for going into such a hands-on field; personally, I could NEVER wake up EVERYDAY knowing that I'd spend the next 10 hours rubbing gross naked people for chump change.
Anywho, we end up laughing 'til we're in tears like the good ol' days and LIKE A FOOL, I make the mistake of letting her use my camera to take pics, luckily I notice that she's started scanning through all my photos. Immediately I think of WHAT I have on my camera... SHiT!!! (C'mon, how else was I supposed to try out my new camera?) "NOOOOOO!!" I make a 3-foot lunge on top of her to stop her from seeing something bad and SHOWING EVERYONE! Using her crazy Rice Lady powers of deduction and realizing the power she wields, she cackles maniacally and tries to view it anyway as I'm grabbing at it. I don't know what to do, so I just JUMP HER, LOL! And while I'm there on the couch wrestling a crack whore for my camera, I step outside myself and realize, "This is my life." *weeps* In the words of BJ Novak (aka Ryan the Temp):
Never EVER tape yourself having sex. NEVER! You think you're gonna erase it, and you say you're gonna erase it, but you're not gonna erase it. It's the worst idea you could do! Never tape yourself having sex. I can't stress this enough.
Even though she's a whole lotta woman, I eventually seize the camera and put her in check. Disaster avoided. A lil' after midnight, I end up leaving with Rice Lady and Chels and we end up in EJ's driveway one door down from me. Ending on that note, I ran into EJ last week. Mom and I had just gotten back from Target. This guy was staring at my mother with this huge grin, I didn't make eye contact b/c I thought he was flirting with her, and I felt awkward. I get out and out of his mouth hear that voice: "So you're not going to say Hi to me?" My jaw literally drops down to the pavement and my eyebrows shoot past my hairline 'cause I am shocked at how good he looks nowadays. He's lost at least half his old weight--in terms of hotness, he's seriously giving me a run for my money! Thus, as soon as I got inside, I did 25 chin-ups and cartwheeled myself into bed.
