Dishonestly (I'll explain later), I believed today would be a pretty hum-dum kinda day. After my parents got back in though, we had ourselves some pork, rice and potatoes and then I headed off (this'd be around 10:00) to Harper's house. I was actually the first one there and felt bad 'cause I walked in expecting other people only to find Harper talking to his family and some friends of his sister's. Fortunately, they were expecting people and I didn't interrupt anything, I just felt funny at first.
If you need proof, by the way, that this is a small world, you'll be seeing it here. My dad's extant nurse, Lindsey McSomething, was friends with Katie Gardner. Also, one of my neighbors was there, too because she was best friends with Lizzie. Two connections at one party... well, I thought it was weird anyways.
Anyways, after everyone else arrived, there was much debauchery to be had. Beer was present, as was cigarettes and pool/billiards. Remember when I said I was considering letting loose every so often? Well, if you know me well enough, I think you know just what portion of the debauchery I was present in.
That's right, I played a mean game of pool. I made a jump-shot cut into a side pocket without knicking the table. I was very proud of myself. *grin* Sure it's once in a lifetime, but for that once I felt like I could actually play pool. Honestly though, at the beginning of the night I was missing shots left and right. Fortunately I realized what the problem was and managed to send a whooping Robbie's way.
Aside from pool, I've found that at these sort of shindigs, soirees and get togethers, that I talk to Joab a lot. He's a 5'11" boxing, black belt in Tae-Kwondo, 4.0 WVU student. He's also the nicest guy you'll ever meet and will always go out of his way to help someone (even if its just giving up his seat.) Anyhow, we get into a lot of good conversations and it's a great way to spend a night at a party - talking and making fun of those less afflicted by sobriety than us.
In addition, I found out Gordon has been working in Central America in a Rainforest Conservation project for the last half a year. Before that he was in England, and now he's going to Wesleyan for a semester followed by the Middle East. He's going places, even if he is just going as a hippy, heheheh.
I think I'll send out a "wassup" to the people there who's names I can remember - Harper, Al, Tolbert, Joab, Robbie, Bill, Tristan, Bart, Matt (Harper's Roommate), Kate, Anna, Lizzie, Lindsay, Cassady, Lauren, Christina, neighbor, Katie, Liz Lane, Gordon... Um, I think that's everyone. If I forgot someone its because I'm stupid, not because I actually forgot you. Heh.
Now, I updated my site and tossed up a new comic. I think its funny, as usual. We'll see.
