Day 19 - Babysitting, Bikes, Rooftop Party

Today was another Liam and Kate day. I took Liam and Camp to the pool and let them go off on their own for a bit. I was able to enjoy some time to myself, read some Augusten Burroughs, and drown out the terrible Timiquana music with Ghostland Observatory and With Faith or Flames. Julia was up there and we hung out of a little bit. She is going to be a debutante this summer, so that is exciting. I also encountered some of the rudest girls ever today. That is nothing new for Timiquana, but these girls today were a different breed. One soaked my book my shaking her hair off and when I said something, she just looked at me, laid down, and closed her eyes. Bitch. Liam and Camp had been swimming for a long time, and I kept telling Liam to tell me when they were getting lunch since I was starving, and finally I was just going to go order ahead of them, our number gets called. Turns out Liam completely ignored me and went ahead and ordered his lunch. No surprise. So I just planned on getting my lunch then leaving. I waited for about 30 minutes for my lunch until I decided to just leave. I stopped to see if it was just sitting there, but turns out someone just came in and took it. Jerks. So I had to wait for the woman to make me a whole new order. I hate the people at Timiquana sometimes.

This afternoon was pretty boring, didn’t do much of anything. Jenn and I went on a bike ride this evening, and that was nice. It gave us time to just talk and not have our phones buzzing every 30 seconds. We need to do that more often.

Later we went to Kickbacks for dinner then to a birthday party for one of the guys that she works with. On the way to the party we stopped at Walgreens to get some jellybeans, and there was this woman checking put in front of us with the worst hair I have ever seen. She was leaving and the cashier handed her a bag stuffed with candy and said, “Oh wait. Here’s your candy.” Then handed her some beach toys and said “and your toys.” And Jenn and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Typing this now, I have no idea why, but at the time, it was hilarious. From there we headed to the party. It was on the roof of the new lofts in 5 Pts and it had an amazing view. I felt mega lame at the party since a good amount of the kids that were there were just graduating high school. I met some cool people, and saw some random people from high school. Eric Branholm and David Meyers were both there. When I first got there I thought I recognized David but decided it probably wasn’t him, but turns out it was. It was funny seeing him and Eric there, and it was nice to catch up. I sound so queer for saying that, but its true. At one point last night I went downstairs to use the restroom, but turns out two of the people from the party were having sex in the only bathroom that was available. David and I both got a good laugh out of that one and listened in for a while. They were there for a while so I had to pee on the roof. Great fun. Tonight was really good. Just hung out, talked, drank. It was nice to do that instead of TSI or the Pearl, where you cant really talk and people are swarming. It was a nice change of pace.

Tomorrow is another day of Liam and Camp. Can’t wait… Oh and I have the most hilarious sunburn from today. One side of my body is a tomato, the other is white as a sheet.

This is my life. I am such a pushover.
