Song of choice: Trouble - Elvis Presley (very good "bad ass" tune...)
It's been a while.. lets see..
I had my last day of work on Saturday. There was a minor fairwell, considering my boss was the only other individual there. I had the time to sit down and write a really nice one page letter to everyone thanking them for everything throughout the summer, stuck it in an envelope, then tacked it to the wall. I'm sure they read it today.
Today was the day of my big summer BBQ. A bunch of people came over to the house today for a nice pool/bbq party. The guest list is as follows: Amy, Ferhanna, Julia, Erin, Jessica, Adit, Chrissy, Robbie, James. If you'd like to be put on the guest list, lemme know and I'll ask you next year! Chris made an appearance... ok, maybe not "appear"ance... more like he called from Vancouver. It was good to hear from him! He promised the next time I do something like this that he'd buy all the food. I'm holding you to that, Chris!
The event went off without a hitch (that I know of). It started out with Adit running from the car and jumping in the pool... ohhh the drama "queen".. followed by a bunch of ppl standing around watching him... dont know what that was all about, but we finally settled down and sat around and grabbed something to drink. Some people grabbed a pop while others decided it was a good time to pop open a Vex. We sat and talked (Chrissy, Adit, Jessica, James, Robbie, and myself) then Julia came from around the corner lookin' all pretty in her stylin' duds :). I gave her a "you were going to call me for a ride" kind of look, but she told me she insisted her brother drive her. Never the less, I'm really glad she came. Thanks sweetie :).
food.. oh the food... You know, there's a reason why those Equality burgers are about a third less expensive than the MC or other "leading brands". Firstly, they're paper thin.. secondly, well... there's only a 'firstly', really... but they did the job, and did the job nicely.
back to the pool.. blah blah.. swim... darkness...
Jessica, Chrissy, Adit, and I had what Adit called a "Chicken Fight". It's where you're in the pool and someone gets on your shoulders and the same for the other two, and you duke it out until the other person falls off.. Jess and I won! YAY!!! Chrissy and Adit lost... sorry sweetie.... and sorry Chrissy. :P
Then something miraculous happened.. JULIA WENT SWIMMING!!! HEHEHE FINALLY.. after the whole night of nagging, she went! but it seemed like it was such a short amount of time later that she had to leave. so she got out and then left. :( Too bad she had to go, but her brother was waiting.. we'll see each other soon, right? RIGHT?
back to the pool.. blah blah.. swim... darkness... twinkle lights...
we have a massive maple tree in our back yard, and when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE.. like, Rosie-massive... Oprah-massive.. Godzilla-massive... (didn't think I could use oprah, rosie, and godzilla in the same analogy, did you?) and underneath it we put a couple hundred twinkle lights (but dont actually twinkle, they just stay on..) basically, they're just christmas lights.. really small white ones... and they provide lighting, as well as a set a good environment. Very warm, very inviting (in my humble opinion).
Then that's when Kyle got a little bit funny.. I swear it wasn't the alcohol! I just decided to loosen up.. I also decided that BOOBS was a really funny word, and that Erin would have the best name out of all of us if her name was BOOBS... "BOOBS McKAY".. I LIKE! We then sat around talking, and started to pack it in and everyone left about an hour and a bit ago. I just finished cleaning up not too long ago.. now I'm wearing my PJs....
Thank you all for coming over.. I'll look forward to seeing you all again...
