'I'm gonna be a party monster!'
Wow, people. I've pulled an Abernathy two nights in a row! Last night after my Mexico Party ended when Tina left at 2:something, I stayed on the internet and posted some things here but gave that up at about 3:00. But then I cleaned up everything from the party (at an early-early-morning-appropriate slow pace, of course!). I cleaned the kitchen floor, wiped down countertops, rinsed dishes that fit into the dishwasher, washed dishes after the dishwasher was full, put stuff back in the fridge, threw out food that had grossified overnight, picked all the ball-pit balls out of the pool, dumped the ice out of the cooler, threw out the trash, hosed off all of the chalk directions on the sidewalks and some in the road, picked up the Repub and read it before going to be around 7:00... and slept until 3:30.
Then tonight, I left for Mike Zduniak's graduation party almost 12 hours ago, partied it up until 3 or 3:30ish and also had a spontaneous car party with Kristin for about an hour before heading home. I think I'm going to try to get up for the 11:11 service in the morning, but we'll just see what happens.
5/15 3:08p » I actually got up and was just a mintue or two late to 11:11! Woo!
Mike's party
Some girl: "Why do they keep showing that bimbo?"
Mike: "That's my aunt!"

Mike's musical awesomeness
"I'm gonna play Black Sabbath; you just improvise." –Kristin, hypothesizing a K-M jam session at their house next year
Barbie horseriding!
Car crashing... and a little bit of racing, which also involved a lot of crashing
Me losing my phone... but not
Antenna ball wars!
The comment that could not be followed up upon:
Mike[ina]: "I remember when I was in bed by eight... and home by 11!"
Brian[keesha] I.: "Oh, gurl! You remindin' me of the third grade!"
"Those are as bad as poking! They're evil!" –Kristin on IM emoticons
Flexual
"Why don't girls talk to me like that?!" –Mike
The turn-on potential of being compared to food
Brian I.: "Call him a food item!"
Kristin: "No, it's too much pressure!"
Mike: "Call me something else."
Kristin: "No, it's too much pressure!"
Mike: "Call me?"
"Some people ride on the handlebars, if you know what I mean. Some people ride on the pegs, and some people just use the regular seat. And some people just grab on wherever they can!" –Brian C.'s explanation of flexual bicycle people
"Is it going to be buffet style? With all the different types of tasty food?" –Kristin
SPONTANEOUS DANCE PARTY!
Kristin came to Mike's party with Annette and Sam, but I drove her back to Best C because Annette and Sam left kinda early (at least it seems early given how late Brian Currie, Kristin, and I were there!). Our journey back started with a little northbound trip on the 51 but we soon fixed that and headed south— all the while listening to KNIX or KMLE. But as I turned from Rural to Apache both country stations were playing really sappy songs, so I changed the radio to 98.7 The Peak and within a few seconds I heard the opening piano frenzy to Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)"! I exclaimed to Kristin that an awesome song had begun and she suggested that we drive around until it ended since we were so close to Center Complex. But since my gas light had come on while we were on the freeway, I decided to just pull into one of the metered spots on Forest and turn the engine off while the song played.
Sing-along awesomeness ensued, but after Meatloaf ended, "You Are The Woman" by Firefall came on, which we also listened and sang along to. Then they played "All She Wants to Do is Dance" by Don Henley, and before the lyrics even started, I yelled...
Kristin, it's a song about dancing! LET'S DANCE!
...and then we both bolted out of the car and danced around it and on the grass next to the parking space. And the dancing continued throughout more than an hour of additional music, including just about everything except the "hot-blooded" song! :P (See the "listening to" sidebar for the full playlist!)
So we danced around on the grass for about an hour, with the exception of some lying on the ground during slow songs and some commercials... which we did not enjoy, by the way. A good number of the commercials were trying to sell us cars, which we both already have. We figured that we were probably the only people listening at the time so they should not have bothered us with car commercials. Oh, and there was a hospital commercial that we intially thought was just an adverstisement for MRIs and that prompted Kristin to exclaim, "I don't want to help people; I wanna dance!"
But after it became noticably lighter and the clock struck five, I said, "I think it's time to call it a morning." And then an infomercial started on the radio, seconding my decision. We sang the chorus of "Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up)" as we walked to the dorm, woke up the sleeping DA, and got some water before we went our separate ways into the night... er, morning. lol
Anyway, it was all quite awesome because I've always wanted to have a spontaneous car party, but that's not exactly something I can put on my to-do list. Plus, it was a super-cool party intrinsically... and it was funny to see cars drive up Forest and people laughing at IHOP and wonder if they were laughing at us (and, of course, to ultimately not care and just carry on dancing!)
