i'm found forever more
I had a crazy weekend. Like I said, Friday night we took the boat down to Calhouns on the river from Duncan where we keep it. Lauren's friends from Indiana, (Ashley, Kelsey, and Erin) were kinda late getting to Knoxville... so i put a limit on when we could take the boat out because I really hate driving at night. So they got in around 8, lucky for them my limit was 8:45...
Katey called at like 8:25 and goes "am I too late??" I was like "No, get down to the boat dock... HURRY." Yeah.. so Katey beat Lauren and the girls (and Mike- ughh). The drive down to Calhouns was very pleasant. We had to wait to get seated in Caleb's section. Dinner was good... Mike was obnoxious. Over dinner I announced "Girls.. I have a trivia fact for you all.. 3 out of 6 girls at this table have kissed our waiter." :)
The ride home was rough because it was so dark. Lauren was on spotlight (i don't know why..) and Katey was on backup light. (She's my first-mate which usually entails raising the anchor and nothing more- haha). Lauren was panning the lake looking for pretty houses instead of sticks and buoys. After running over several sticks and releasing several explicatives, Lauren concentrated on the water a bit more. She shown the light directly in front of us just in time to see 3 geese go straight under the boat. Well, two escaped... only one went under the boat. We named him Chunks.
Afterwards we went to the most random party EVER. It was over at Daniel's house in South Knoxville, and I was driving Lauren's dad Navigator because they all wanted to drink. We met the biggest randos- I won't go into the stories because I've told them so many times. In short, Kelsey yelled "inertia" and scared people away with her knowledge of physics, we hid from random rednecks and people we graduated with, and I faked a throw-up in the bushes to avoid someone making me do a keg-stand.
The funniest part of the evening was leaving in the Navigator because there were literally a half mile of cars on either side of the street. I was backing out trying to get Katey to get into the car because she was saying bye to Mindy and Eleanor... I was stopped in the middle of the road and this car behind me was impatiently waiting on us to get out of the way. Some guy named Sean (we called him Andre-haha) came up to the car and was like "Ladies, what exactly is the hold up..." I pointed out the window and said "We're waiting on Katey to get in the car." Sean goes "EXCUSE ME... KATEY... you need to get in the car... ok?" Well, Katey had a strange black man telling her to get into the car so she goes "OK! I’m getting in the car now."
All of a sudden this truck comes barreling down the hill straight for our car (there's only one lane, remember). Sean runs out in front of our car and goes "Hang on you all.... (at the car) What do you think you're doing.... you DUMB Mutahfocka" (imagine the best ghetto voice you can). He then directed us to safety and goes "This is a biiiig car... ok... be careful." I was like "It's not mine, it's Lauren's dads..." And he responded with "Wooooo, well you betta tell yo daddy not to let you take this shite out again cuz it's BIIIIG..." Yeah. Needless to say our saying for the rest of the weekend was "You DUMB Muthafocka"
Saturday I went to my cousin's 1st birthday party at Hooters. It wasn't a bad idea actually... apparently my cousin Will frequents Hooters. All the waitresses knew him. I sat with Uncle Tom, Aunt Viv, my grandmother and my dad. A waitress brought up the food and it just happened to be my friend Bailey from high school. She's actually an AOPi at UT. Yikes? Then another waitress brought some food... it was a girl I sat with in Statistics, she's an Alpha Chi. Then ANOTHER girl who went to West brought some food over. I was like "am I in the twilight zone or what?" My grandmother (who had never been to Hooters) turned to me and goes "She doesn't have very big boobs..." No comment.
After Hooters, we took the Indiana girls to Sonic for a limeade. Then for lunch, we took them to Lennys. Hmmm Lennys. Afterwards was a trip to UT to show them around the campus. They didn't think it was bad. Then we headed to Gatlinburg, but about Straw plains we decided that we didn't wanna wait in traffic for hours. So they went back to Laurens to lay out at the pool. I went home, watched the Gilmore Girls, made some rancid banana bread (which i still need to pitch) and got ready for dinner.
We ate at the Sequoyah Hills Cafe. It was yummy. We all got seafood. I got the grouper, Lauren and Ashley got Salmon, Kelsey and Erin got crab cakes and Claire (the friend from Chattanooga that drove up for the day) got Tuna. After dinner we went to blockbuster for their alcohol pick up. The dealer: Lauren's 17 year old brother Harrison who looks so old he doesn't even get carded. Erin and I were in the backseat and had this conversation:
Erin: Wow, look at that guy over there, he's pretty short. That girl he's with is pretty short too.
Virginia: Yeah... that's his girlfriend
Erin: Wait, you know those people...
Virginia: That's Harrison... Lauren's brother?
Erin: OH MY GOSH, Don't ever tell! (Because she had been singing his praises all day about how cute he was)
After that was TCBY where we got some yogurt... then back to Lauren's for drinking games (well not me of course). I was the "bartender and parent watch." Yes we're freshmen in high school.
Usually Lauren's mom Nancy will leave Lauren alone all night without interruptions, but for some reason she really wanted to hang with the girls last night. We locked the doors to the pool house... and around 10 we heard a knocking on them... the mad dash to hide the beer was in record time... and I went downstairs to let Nancy in. She came up and just stood in the corner and watched us play BS with a deck of cards. Lauren did a very bad job at hiding her wine bottle. I noticed it and jumped up out of my seat and blocked the sightline between Nancy and the bottle. Finally she went back downstairs, locked the door and went out through the garage. (This is an important detail because you CAN get in through the garage when the door's locked).
So they start playing a game called Kings (very fun I might add... lots of laughter) and I was bartender again. About half way into the game we hear the garage door opening... once again we dashed like mad to hide the alcohol, finding closets and blankets. We heard people coming up the stairs and everyone picked up some cards and started going, "BS... NO... I call your BS on that!!" It was Lauren's brother Harrison. After the game was over, I went home- it was like midnight or so. The funniest parts of the game (just for my reference because no one cares) Lauren saying that her car smells like porridge, Erin toasting to Kappa Delta all night, and then it being a rule to toast to Bridget Coraz before you drink: An AOPi at Indiana with like 7 stds. :)
When I got home I hopped in the shower. I was trying to be quiet because my dad was asleep but my phone rang which reverberated in bathroom. It was a number I didn't recognize... but I picked up. Some guy was like "virginia, what are you doing..." I was like "well to be honest, i'm in the shower... umm can i..." "Oohh that's sexy..." Me: Yeah, who is this? Other Guy: You don't know who this is... I'm hurt. FINALLY I figured it out. Remember the guy a few entries ago that ran up and kissed me at that party... yeah... it was him. So he's trying to convince me to go to this party which I reeeally didn't wanna go to. Finally I got him off the phone, finished my shower and went to sleep.
That was my weekend: and this entry was incredibly long. I truly hope that no one read this far. Ole!
