Vortexia's Secret

ok, quick recap because i'm back at the parents' house. sheesh i've been doing a lot of traveling this month!

but anyway... last night i went out to celebrate a grad friend's birthday. it was an interesting crowd because i'd heard about her other friends for about a year and hadn't met any of them yet. so when her b-day rolled around she decided to follow suit and do what i had done for my birthday-- invite everyone you know to come have a good time. it always makes an interesting dynamic, but it was great. and now i have faces to the names i hear. after dinner we went to a bar that was just down the street. but the lead car claimed to know a shortcut that would bypass all the lights, so we all followed. it was THE most round about way i have ever been to a place that's 5 minutes down the road. i am so serious. we took a freeway, did 2 u-turns into traffic, visited 4 parking lots, got separated 3 times, and took 4 or 5 different streets. if we ever do a repeat performance, i'll just look up directions ahead of time and say we'll just meet them there. but at any rate it was fun.

downside was that mayhem turned into an ass that night. thankfully he was fine with other people and seemed to be having a good time making conversation and all with the others. i absolutely hate when he's an ass in front of people we've just met and they all wonder why i love a guy like that. so at least he didn't do that yesterday, but he did frustrate the living daylights out of me when we weren't with the crowd. he has promised to not do it again, so we shall see. he has a bad short-term memory for things like that.

we toyed with the idea of going to the fair this morning, but that obviously fell through. now that i'm out and about, i really wish we had because it is a gorgeous day. i have to find something to do outside today. and it's one of those days where you get up in the morning, take a shower, and you feel so completely refreshed and the day matches that it feels like heaven. i can't even try to describe why it feels so amazing, but if you've ever felt it then you know. so i'm going to soak that up as long as possible. tonight is goodbye to the best guy friend and seeing a concert night. it should be fun, but also very sad. so there ya go. gotta run! kisses!
