weekend update

I'm feeling more like my old self these days, which may or may not be a good thing. Time will tell.

I "Grandma-sat" for my dad Friday night/Saturday morning, then spent the day at a casino with my mom. They have these awesome Star Wars slot machines there. Darth Vader really liked my mom! It was fun, and we had dinner there for free thanks to her racking up points on her card.

I went to a party last night. I wouldn't have gone if the guy hadn't been one of my favorite people on the planet -- he turns 40 today. I knew there'd be a ton of people there, most of whom I didn't know, used to know from work but don't anymore, or barely remembered from previous gatherings. It was Hawaiian theme, so I got to wear my dress that I actually bought in Hawaii eleven years ago, w00t. They had drink machines full of yummy frozen goodness. I don't know if it was the huge meal I'd eaten a few hours earlier or the fact that it was humid and I kept sweating, but I didn't even get much of a buzz off the four or five drinks I had.

I was the ONLY one to have a penis straw, which naturally generated some questions. And this time I remembered to take it home! Bwah! (I know of only one picture of me drinking out of it in existence; should it make its way to me, I will share it with interested parties) I think I'll make a tag for this legendary thing.

A few people half-heartedly tried to get me to do karaoke, which I WOULD have done with more prodding but wasn't about to go up there on my own accord, not whilst still being sober for the most part. Much more fun to watch OTHER people make fools of themselves! (a 7-year-old girl singing "I Kissed A Girl" was pretty cute, though!)

As you may have guessed, I'm not a party person. I felt awkward and out-of-place much of the time. But the birthday boy was truly happy to see me, and it was nice seeing him have a good time. His boyfriend was doing the karaoke so I didn't get to see him much, which is a shame cuz he's a total sweetheart... still, I think I've filled my quota of hugs and kisses for the rest of the year now, between the two of them.

Might go to the game later with my bro but I doubt it. The Dodgers are in town and he wants to see Manny, but the bigger draw for him would have been seeing Maddux pitch and he's not scheduled today. I'm feeling quite unmotivated to do anything at the moment except sit here on my ass. Heh.

ETA: I hate my body. Yes, this is news worthy of an edit. >.> It's actually the summation of a very TMI girly post I nearly posted just now but talked myself out of. *siiiiigh* Waiting for drugs to kick in so I can sleeeeeeeeeeep.
