Blah
Anyways
Its been a CRAZY weekend. Here it is:
Friday:
11 am-8:40ish pm Went to this AAG company party--fun times.
10 pm - 1ish or 2? met up with this guy-Lee-who I met swing dancing, I can't figure out how old he is...its weird. Anyways, his friend, Ford, reminds me of DMO. I thought we were going Swing Dancing, but no, we ended up at the 18th street lounge, which was lame. I paid like 10 bucks to get in, and then the music was off, there was no dance floor, I was bored and we were sitting with a bunch of his friends. Ford was a little drunk and that was funny.
Then we went next door to this other bar, which we got in free because the people in front of us were from PR and so was the bouncer so he was jolly and happy and just waved us in. EVEN WORSE. It was this hard rap and so crowded. My knees can only take so much stationary dancing. Finally, we left, luckily we didn't stay long. And then Lee drove me home. We kissed goodnight and I dunno, nothing sprakish happened. Probably because I was so tired and my knees were killing me.
Saturday:
8 am! -Uncle Frances calls, "Hey Allison, where in Alexandria do you live?" So I say where, and he's like cool I'll see you in two minutes. Granted I did tell him that I would hang out with him on Saturday, but I assumed he would call me and give me like 10-20 minutes to get ready. So I ran around, threw on clothes, and washed my face (I REALLY wanted a shower), and was on the stairs when he knocked.
Then we go see Jennifer (his daughter) who I assumed lived quasi-close. An hour or so later we get there. She's really cool, and we chated forever. Which I don't mind but I was so hungry like WHOA. Hadn't eaten in like 12 hours. And we kept talking and talking. She told me about Ray her husband-to-be and how he's in The Brett Michael Band. Which I guess is cool, and then she was like you should totally come with me to go see Poison and I was like....
ok....
So I think I'm going to see Poison in July.
Finally around 11 we ate and then Frances was like let's go see Lois (my aunt, his sister-in-law) and again I assumed she was quasi-close right? Right? WRONG! Like two hours later we showed up at her house, and then Frances was like I really need a shower and then I got to go back to work, Lois says she'll give you a ride back to Alexandria. And I was like....
ok....
So I chated for a while with Lois and Laura (cousin) and then Laura went to sleep. And I sat around.
By this time its like 4 pm, at 4:30 Lois took me and Laura (who decided to go swing dancing with me to Alexandria)
6:30 pm - 2:30 pm - Swing Dancing
Laura and I head out to the metro, we end up walking there, its only a mile so not that bad. We take the metro, and my trip planner says to get off at Friendship Heights, so we do. And then we can't find the bus, so we're like hey a taxi will work right?
20 dollers later we finally arrive at the dance at 8:45 pm. And then we DANCED! And danced! and holy crap we tore it up! It was sooo much fun! Lee was being kind of weird, I don't get guys at all. He was standing by the fan the entire time. And when I asked he was like I get really sweaty.
Whatever. Everybody was sweating it was really hot out and there was no AC there. I didn't want to dance in front of the fan, because its rude, you're blocking the air for the people resting.
So I think he's a little pissed that I didn't hang around him.
Blahblah, I met some CRAZY Texans. One of which was IS an Aggie. And very proud of that.
SHIT this is sooo long.
BLAHBLAH! Fastforward.
Lee and Ford drove Laura and I to the Metro, it turns out that AU is closer that FH which pissed me off a little. Laura and I got pizza and headed out on the metro. We get to Braddock and the bus have stopped running and my feet are KILLING me. I got step on a couple of times, once by a girl in sneakers, who like stomp right on my foot, and then I tripped over this metal pipe thing that was sticking up right before Laura and I got pizza, so my foot is all scrapped up.
We walk half way home, when I can't take it anymore and wave a taxi down. It was 6 bucks.
But we got home I crashed.
Slept til 7ish went downstairs told Laura she could move to the Babies room because Alex was playing his musical toy, then went back to sleep for like 3 more hours.
OK! SHORT because I have to run to meet Janet!
Went shopping bought food, babysat boys put them to bed and then read Converge by Chris Owen OMG SOOO GOOD I NEED TO READ MERGE OR I DIE!
This was sooo long
so in short
I am dead.
