Celebrating my independence

work was crazy as usual on monday and tuesday. but what becomes a little more interesting is tuesday night. i went out with JD and his friends. told them i'd be a good wing woman, so when we got there i made friends with these 3 cute girls. i did my job, so i spent the rest of the night enjoying myself. lots of boys there but again no one sparked my interest enough. so the boy that JD gave my number to showed up. i played it off as "sorry i didn't call you back - i'm so glad you came out tonight so we could talk in person instead of on the phone." haha. oops. his name's Aric which is like Eric with an A. just hung out, danced, played, laughed at Cyrus' 'game' on trying to get girls numbers (basically he's totally obnoxious. some girls think it's annoying and some think it's so over the top that it's kind of funny and charming) and hung out with Yemen. fun people. so at the end some boy that i didn't see the whole night comes up to me (when we're saying bye to everyone) and holds both my hands and says i really want to get to know you better. i was hoping we could hang out tonight. again, i tried to play it off giving him the hint that i'm not interested. finally i resort to my old tactics and tell him he's got to ask my bodyguard JD. he looks over and says,"him? oh he's cool with it i already asked." !! haha. i said how about next time. so funny. got home at 3 or something like that, and just went to bed.

the next morning i woke up at 7 and i am exhausted! i hate not being able to sleep in. i gave up trying to stay up at around 9 and just took a nap until 11:30. then i just talked to various people trying to figure out what i wanted to do (and talking to Karen to decide) and finally rolled out of bed around 2:00. also told Judy that we can't go =( i was soooo sad. ended up going to the beach with Cyrus, Yemen, and that guy Aric. he ended up being really cool. and tall. didn't realize that before. anyway, the plan was that i was going to pick up Cyrus at his place and then go get Yemen. i get there and call his phone. nothing. doesn't pick up. why woudln't you pick up the phone when you know someone's there to pick you up?! ok, he's peeing or something. i give it 3 or 4 minutes, and call again. nothing. ok, perhaps he's pooing. so i give it 6 or 7 minutes. call again. nothing. now i'm getting pissed, so i call JD and tell him i'm getting irritated and i'm about to leave. Cyrus calls me 30 seconds later (JD called him and yelled at him) and finally he comes out. He's wearing a blue shirt and khaki shorts. with a big red splotch on it. turns out he spilled red wine on himeself (!!). so he has to go BACK AND CHANGE. i was sooo annoyed, but let it go. i ended up being there for 30 or so minutes.

we finally get to Yemen's place and Aric drives us to the beach. they stop at the liqour store, and Cyrus comes back out with this amazing chilli relleno that he got from the liquor store (who knew they had hot food?) it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty i can't even stop thinkign about it. they totally made fun of me cause i ate most of it. yup, i owe him some food. maybe i'll make them brownies cause they've been so nice to me or something. anyway, we hung out with JD at his new girl's friend's beach house. i decide to go to the beach to try my hand at body surfing. somehow the nice sunglasses i bought in Maui fell out of my bag. i realized it 40 minutes or so later, and asked around. a girl said she saw someone pick up black sunglasses and took them =( so sad. oh well. easy come easy go, right? so this morning i called the sunglass hut because they told me if i scratched it or something they would give me half off if i rebought the glasses. but you had to send in the old ones (because people can lie about losing the glasses etc) it was a guy on the phone, and i explained what happened. he sounded young and kind of flirted and laughed about the story, and then he said he would give me half off to replace the lost glasses! he's just goign to write a report to his manager or something. who knows what he's doign but yay! sometimes being a girl helps...

after that we went to my cousin's pad in Santa Monica to his party. we see him on the street and he says he's goign to go get some stuff because they're running out of drinks or something. we go up, and 2 hours later, he still hasn't shown up. what the? and besides, they're definitely not running out of anything anytime soon. there are plenty of things to drink, eat, etc. i ask his roommate Joe where he went, and he goes, "yup, he's gone. went to a Malibu party." well, how the heck did he get there? his car's engine died, so he didn't even have a mode of transportation. i get a page from him at midnight that says "hooking up with a girl. call you tomorrow" sooo funny. crazy crazy boy. anyway, i get home and crash since i had to work this morning. such a teaser - to play all day long because it's a holiday only to have to go to work the next day. but at least tomorrow's friday. i think i'm going out with Amy tonight so maybe i'll have more fun stories tomorrow.
