Fun times, I think?!
Yesterday was terrific, and last night was ridiculous. It's a long one, but here goes nothing!
Yesterday I spent a good 5 hours with my mom's side of the family. It was awesome to see everyone. I haven't seen some of them since last summer's cookout before I went to school. I found out one of my distant cousins will be going to UCONN this year! So that is exciting. My great aunt (Auntie Phyllis) took my e-mail info, I'd love to talk with him. The only part that wasn't fun was watching Michelle, Keith, Sammie and Ben deal with the sudden death of their very much loved cousin, Nick. Needless to say, they are all broken hearted. It was tough to see Michelle in such bad shape. She is so outgoing and fun-loving and to watch her be low-key and down is awful. She's helped me SO MUCH throughout my life... whether it be boys, school, my parents, anything. She's always been there. I hope she finds peace and strength within herself to get through this.
The cool part about the cookout was that Bill (the guy my mom is seeing) and his daughter Jess came. Jess just graduated from Tantasqua, as I already mentioned. But we got a chance to hang out yesterday and get to know each other a little bit. After we warmed up to each other a little bit (and she wore my bathing suit, lol) I asked her if she would like to accompany me to go to Jay's at night. She accepted! She couldn't stay late b/c she had to go to Ithaca this morning, (which may have been a good thing... lol) but she came and hung out with my crew. They took to her well, and everyone got along great.
So, Jess, Munch, Sherri, Jay, Joe, Jay Moura, Coopie and I hung out last night. We swam, ate, etc. Munch and I dropped Jess off, and while we were gone, the boys set off fireworks at Jay's house so they left b/c they thought the cops were gonna come. We met them in the Subway parking lot and went back to Jay's house. We then consolidated into 2 cars and went to the DOLLHOUSE. Let me explain: The dollhouse is a sketchy little house (big enough for people, but not big enough to live in) in the middle of the woods. It is scary as hell. I can't explain really, but it's one of those things that makes my eyes tear up. So we went there, I was in Joe's car with Munch and the rest of the boys were in Jay's truck. When we got there, we stopped. The boys had been talking about getting out, and I decided to go with them. It was Jay, Jay, Jay and I. (LOL) I was scared shitless, and held their hands. It was going well, until Jay Moura said "I see something moving" just fooling around, and then a light went on next to the dollhouse! I didn't see it b/c I was behind the boys, but they all saw it. All I remember is that they turned around and there was a lot of yelling and grabbing at each other to get away from it. The next part sucked! Since I hadn't seen the light, I had NO IDEA what they were running from. All I knew is that the 3 boys were scared enough to yell and run away, and I was less than interested in finding out why. So I turned to jump back into Joe's car, only to find that he had moved it to about 500 feet up the road! I had to run, alone, to Joe's car! Scary...!
The rest of the night, my friends, is history. Good drunk times at Jay's. A couple bad moments but in general, a lot of fun. Jay and Joe RAN the beer pong table, which sucked for the rest of us! And I don't know where my brain was, but I made a few judgement calls that may have been wrong. But hey, it's all good. It was a fun night. We went to bed at 5 am (after Jay finally went swimming, GOD!!) and I got up at 7 and left to come home and sleep. Crazy times... but a good day yesterday!
And now for the sentimental part. I know a couple people going through really tough times right now. I want those people to know that they are in my prayers. My aunt forwarded this to me, and I thought it was kind of cute, so here it is:
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
I love you guys...
