Dear Friends...
I have been having the absolute BEST christmas break ever...so far. Most breaks I work and sleep and end up getting so bored that I crave a project or a fifteen-page paper, but not this time. Let's review, shall we?
<3, ash
Friday I worked 8:30-5:30 and we had a going away party for my friend Vena. She's moving to London, and I now hate her out of jealousy, but that's beside the point. Anyway, after that a few of us went to Chili's to have a going away party after-party. It's the same thing as the original work party, but with alcohol. Vena bought my drinks even though I begged her not to, and we had a generally good time making fun of our waitor.
After that I met Adam at "the lix" to get my checks he had gotten me, and to my surprise he had THREE, read it, THREE checks. I was delighted to say the least, especially since I thought he'd only have one. Then we went to go buy beer and the guy at the gas station knew me. It was weird. I told him I had left my ID in the car and he was like "that's alright, i know you." Then Adam kidnapped me and we went over to Rob's to play some asshole and drink the beer these other girls brought over. That's the second night I drank for free. Take note.
Saturday I didn't wake up till three o'clock. (Sorry Loren.) I got ready and met the usual suspects at Tiff's place. Then we went to my boss' Christmas party in Westchase, which might as well had been in Georgia cause it took so long to get there. Tiffany almost got a free bottle of wine at Publix, but the lady chased her out and told her she had made a mistake. Then we went to shmooz. It was pretty ok. One guy fell in the jacuzzi which was entertaining. I was kind of bored until I found a pitcher of cold appletinis. FREE appletinis! I had a few, and whoever made them knew what they were doing. We finally got out of there and didn't know what we were going to do for the rest of the night. I had had prior plans but "The H." was sick and had a fever. We ended up at a certain strip club that a certain someone's sister works at. Got in for free. Then the bartender gave us a round of free drinks. Then the chef bought us a round of free drinks. Then this man that none of knew bought us a drink. By that time I was definitely feeling intoxicated. I think that was around the time Tiff and I were comparing asses with the dancers in the bathroom. Then Hector bought me the biggest Long Island Iced Tea I've ever seen, and afterwards brought me some other drink that he practically force-fed me. Still wondering what that was about, cause I told him I was drunk and I didn't want it. Anyway, we ended up staying till they closed and I slept over at Tiff's cause there was no way I was driving.
Sunday I went to work. The usual crappy 11-6 shift. Stopped at the gas station and the guy gave me free coffee. I love that guy. I was definitely feeling hungover and spent a big chunk of the day standing in front of the mirror in the restroom, but I was getting paid for it so that's what counts. After work I went home, showered and changed, packed a bag, and headed to Orlando. Adam and Mike were there staying in one of the Disney resorts, and wanted me to come out. When I got there they were playing drinking games with this other girl Jackie, and I was a little peeved. I was ready to go out, and didn't want to sit in the room, so after Jackie left, I pretty much made them get ready and go out. We caught the Disney bus, which I LOVE, and have fond memories of from my birthday, and went to Downtown Disney. There were probably like five other people there but we still had fun. I even had a stare-off with a security gaurd. We took the last bus back, and made friends with the driver. This is the part where it gets fuzzy. I remember raiding the janitor's closet and stuffing shampoo and pens down my shirt with Mike. I also remember licking the sheet on the bed which was part of a dare. That's about it.
Then Monday Adam and I went Christmas shopping and to Outback, which was Adam's first time. Who hasn't been there, really? Crazy. Then we went back to Rob's to hang out with Barnacle and Barney ( the weird girls), and some wannabe cops.
TAH-DAHH!!!! The end. And I also sold my ebay jacket for $44.50 + shipping & handling. Damn, I'm awesome. If things go as well as this for the rest of the break I'm not going back to school...... Ok, I am. But it'll be hard.
