Vortexia's Secret

i gotta keep this fast. first, something funny: i just heard one of the news people say "CBS snooze" instead of CBS news. haha.

ok, so i didn't write yesterday like i said i would. i apologize. i was sick all yesterday, so i wasn't up to posting anything. but i'm better now, am back at my place, and have gotten enough stuff done to take a really fast blogging break. so here goes...

saturday afternoon i was introduced to an excellent coffeehouse and drank a white chocolate mocha to my heart's content. oh man was that sucker good! but i digress... after that i left to hang with the boys. i went to mayhem's place so he could drive us around the rest of the day. on our drive i took lots of random pictures for a project he had. he was supposed to take pictures of things that resembled letters of the alphabet. i figured it would be a fun project that we could do together, but he wasn't as into it. so i started taking pictures and joking about pictures that he could take if they weren't too risque. once he started seeing all the possibilities in things around us, he got into it a little more, too.

turns out the marriage celebration (sort of a reception i guess) was delayed quite a bit. it was ok, though, because we hung out anyway. my best guy friends' cousins were being naughty, though. i wore a skirt in case it was a dressier occasion than others, and those 2 boys were sitting on the couch directly across from me. every time that i looked over there, they were either staring up my skirt or at my boobs. seriously guys, you have no chance. so just go talk about the high school girls you think are in your league. dirty dirty boys. oh, and one of them thought he was just soooo badass. he would call various friends and talk to them on the speaker phone of his cell. i guess so i could hear how cool he sounded? i was trying to keep from laughing. seriously.

just before the food was served i headed out with the boys to pick up the alcohol for our evening festivities. little did i realize how long it took men to make some simple decisions. i mean, come on... vodka, rum, tequila, beer, and mixers (they already had some jack). it's not that hard. but they decided to mix things up this time and make it hard on everyone involved. so we got a mudslide mixer, rum in case the mix was too weak (it was a liquor inside type), coconut rum for cokes, and a case of beer. i was secretly wondering what happened to my boys and why they started drinking such feminine drinks. i mean, when we left for the place they were talking about straight up liquor and beers, nothing girly unless i bought something separate for myself. i don't know what happened. and it pissed off everyone at the party because we left right as it was about to kick into high gear. let me give you boys a tip: never leave your brand new wife at your own reception for over an hour in order to get alcohol for an after-party that she isn't going to. trust me, it isn't pretty.

(oh, random... the look on those cousins' faces when i walked out with all the boys and left them mid-conversation was absolutely priceless. pure envy, damning themselves for being too young.)

ok, so we get back to the reception, i try to gauge the level of hurt that we caused and tried to lie low because i know we shouldn't have done that. a little while later we left for good, and my best guy friend hung around until the original party was over. he was also hoping to get a little time in with his wife because he realized they had less than 2 weeks to be a married couple together before they would be separated again for over half a year. talk about a rough life. i really feel for them. she's an incredible woman. while she wants them to be together, she also understands that he needs to spend plenty of time with his friends as well because our contact is even more limited then theirs. so they had a little while together and with the family before he left to hang with us.

we had a cook out going, and the boys were playing a dirty videogame. i was outside helping with the barbeque and catching up with some of the boys i rarely see anymore. some of them aren't very good about keeping in touch. when i got back inside, i saw what the game was all about. it used the premise of presidents & assholes with a trivia game. it has video clips of girls answering questions, and if they get them wrong, then the girls have to flash their boobs. at the beginning it's censored, and they work together on bonus questions to work up to uncensored views of the boobies. it was a strange experience watching them play, but it was also funny. one of the guys was really uptight about it all and was yelling. others were just laughing about it. and i had to say that i found it pretty damn funny, especially considering that i was helping them with the answers so that they could see boobies. why? i have no idea. but i guess that's why i'm allowed to hang with the guys. and yes, i was the ONLY girl there with like 6 or 7 guys. they played and we all drank until about 6am. at one point, we were discussing one of the guys' soberness. we had him walking and line and doing all kinds of stuff, and i tried it and walked a flawless line. i dubbed myself the queen of alcohol at that point. even though they play it cool, every single one of them has a great amount of respect for me. it comes out every once in a while, and i appreciate it for what it really is.

anyway, about 6am i decided that i was just too exhausted. i knew i had to get up early, and since one of the beds was open i figured i should take the opportunity. mayhem came in a little while later to make sure i was ok. after another hour or so he came in to sleep. unfortunately, i found out later that apparently the guy whose bed i took was not very happy that i took his bed. mayhem told him that he could take the other half of the bed since we were only taking up half of it, but he said he would feel weird sleeping next to his girlfriend (me). understandably so. and i'm thankful that he didn't because i was sick the next morning. not hungover really (just dehydrated and in need of an advil). the problem was with something i had eaten the night before, and not with the alcohol. i tried for about an hour and a half to get stable enough to be able to go home. when i finally thought i could make it home, i told mayhem that we better go. i made it back to his house, and had to wait around a little while. he found a sprite for me to drink on the drive home, and i made it back ok. as soon as my mom saw me she knew i wasn't feeling well. i explained and she told me to just take it easy that day. i was glad that she was understanding and not upset with me (she could have easily told me that it was just because i had drunk too much and needed to suck it up and do family stuff all day, but she understood that i was truly sick from something i ate). so anyway, yesterday was kind of yucky.

thankfully i woke up today and was fine. i ate slowly and everything stayed in my stomach, so i headed back to my place and started to get things done. so that's about it. there's much more to be done, but that's it for now. and in perfect timing, i finished this just as i have to go. i'll be getting more done and then i'll be back with more. until then...
