Day 17 - Bikes, Kickbacks, Colton, Jenn

Last night right after I posted Jenn came over and we hung out for a while and figured out who some people in her phonebook are. That was great fun. This morning my mom and I rode our bikes to the Brick for breakfast, and we sat next to the weird group of people. This girl was wearing a red beret with a bill on it, a white shirt with some sort of image on it with rhinestones, and a red short skirt. It was not very Ortega-ish, to say he least. And they were talking and I was listening of course, and she was saying how recently he got really drunk “at this place downtown. Like TSI? TIS? I don’t know.” She was talking about different forms of transportation when you are drunk, and how when she is drunk, she gets a tow tuck to take her and her car home, and its free. The guys that she was with were both like, “No I don’t think they do that” and she was dead set on it. It was hilarious. And then one of the guys kept saying how he knows one of the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd and how “Lynryd comes into the store all the time.” No one’s name in that band is actually Lynryd, first off. Yet again they were like, “No, I don’t think you’re right.” It was funny to hear each person at the table do the same thing.

After a nap and a Target run, my mom and Jenn and I went to Timiquana and laid out for a bit. Jenn and I were swimming at one point and talking about apparently strippers at the Dollhouse make around $1000 a night. I don’t think that’s right, and I said, “Well its only $5 for them to get naked.” And Jenn said “Also its like $30 for a 3 minute lap dance.” And then we remembered that we were surrounded by children and there was this mother right next to us and it was very awkward. We just… swam away…

Tonight Jenn and I went to Kickbacks with Colton and Ben. That was fun, since I haven’t hung out with Colton in a really long time. It was nice to catch up and everything. I forgot how hilarious Colton can be. After Kickbacks we were sitting at their house, and it was 11:11 and everyone was like “make a wish!” None of us did, then Ben made us say what we would wish for if we wished on 11:11. Jenn and I both chose not to answer, since our wishes are probably similar. And Colton was like, “I just wish I could always be doing something sweet.” Which is such a Colton thing to say. He went on and described what his perfect life would be, where even flying wouldn’t top the sweetness of his day to day life. After he finished, both Jenn and I wished we had written it down. It was amazing.



I silently stressed about something for the past 2 days, and I think everything was resolved tonight, which I am excited about. Oh and I bought more wine. Woo!

Jenn is sitting next to me in my bed right now, stealing my music from my hard drive. I am falling asleep. There is a beer teetering dangerously on my dresser. Ironically, it is a beer from Colton’s, and it is sitting on top of my Pray for Jax painting. Funny.
