Shuckey-Darn
Well...I am "stuck" in Rochester for the night. My planes from Rochester to Austin was delayed/cancelled so I have to wait until tomorrow morning to fly out. I'm sooo dissapointed ;-) (Not really! I wasn't ready to go back to Texas anyway!)
Last night was soooooooo fun. We had a GREATTT day and night. Let's see...I woke up at my mom's at 9:30am, and hung out with my step-dad while Chrissy and Seymen slept until 12:30pm. I cooked my two dishes for Thanksgiving dinner, and then Seymen woke up (FINALLY) so we could go to Fuji and print out the pictures from the Dude Ranch and Florida. Next we went to the Hylan place apartment so Seymen could pick out clothes for the party and shower. (Meanwhile, I was FINALLY able to play the new SIMs game for gamecube, that Seymen bought me in FL). We were then of course late for Thanksgiving dinner, so we had to rush to meet Maki and get to my moms. PRetty much we finished eating dinner in about 20 mins! It was soooooooooo good, and felt just like Thanksgiving, but better because we knew that we were all going to be together again for Christmas in like 9 days!!!
We were supposed to decorate the Christmas tree after we ate, but Maki and I became distracted "decorating ourselves" for the party, and my mom and CHrissy became our fashion coordinators :-) We arrived at the party fashionably late, right as the dinner was ending, so hung out there for a few hours (Untill 11pm). We had to drop Maki off at home, because she had three to many sex on the beaches...Somehow word got out at the party that we HAD to go to BugJar, and by the end, people were coming up to me and Seymen, telling us we had to go there. The funny thing about it was, that I started that rumor when we arrived because my LMNK friends were going to be there!
Anyway, we finally made it there, and met up with the LMNK group and the Fuji group. We all hung out, drank, had a great time...Oh yeah, and Carrie and I went to the bathroom in the mens room by accident. We realized when a guy who followed us in started peeing in the urnal. That was fun. Seymen and the rest of Fuji people went to Karma/BarFly, and let me with my friends. I hitched a ride to Old toad, to visit Alex, and Seymen walked over to come pick me. By then, I could barely stand up straight...Actually, I couldn't walk by myself...but I made it into Karma in time to see Lisa and Joni (I went to AQ H.S. with Lisa) hanging out with some friends. I have no idea what I said to them...but it was still AWESOME to see them!
Seymen and his friends finally dragged me back to the car, and we headed to the 24-hour diner in Henerietta where, low and behold! I ran into Leslie and Emily (Fellow LMNKers) eating there after the bar too! It was so weird. And I pretty much invited myself to their table and sat with them :-) (Yes...I did alot of ditching Seymen last night--I'm so mean) IN the end, I passed out in the car when we were dropping people off, and Seymen reported that I was indeed snoring a little on the ride. It was like 4AM before we got home!!!
Anyway...now I'm at my old apartment, in my PJs, at Seymen's computer...just like old times. It feels so nice to be home! I want to come back! And rumor has it, a few people want me to come home too!!! Supposedly, Seymen reported that he and my old boss Keith had a little chat about me moving back home. Actually, alot of people this weekend had little chats with Keith about me coming home ;-)
Sooo anyway...that's the report of the party night. I was so looking forward to last night, and it turned out to be better than ever. I had the best time, and I was so drunk, but I didn't hookie, or even feel like hookieing all night (or all morning today).
Oh yeah, I did have a little one-on-one talk with my step-mom today--who was trying to convince me to quit my job in TX and move home this week-- who gave me one piece of advice that I probably should have listened to 4 months ago...(I am still glad I didn't but it does sum up nicely what I suppose I feel deep down inside): "You don't have to move 1000's of miles away to prove to Seymen or anyone else that you are an independent person and capable of anything you set your mind to." It was so deep! And the two of us looked at each other and broke into laughter, because it had a ring of truth to it, yet seems so logical and rediculious ;-)
One last thing to say before I go to play game cube...This weekend has totally focused on discussions of me moving back to Rochester. But I have to say that I do love Texas and my friends and life there. I was telling Seymen, that I am completely fine living there, and having a great time as long as I don't come home, and as long as I don't have anyone come visit me! Then I would never get sad, or feel a pull to move home :-) But we then decided that wasn't realistic, becuase I totally get through everyday day-to-day life knowing that every two weeks-to a month, I'll be seeing my honey. So...there's some food for thought. (And don't worry my Texas buddies...I'm not going anywhere yet...I love my apartment too much to leave right away ;-)
