Day 45 - Stressful Errand Day

This morning I woke up and went to lunch with Rob. Eh. Yes. Woke up then lunch. I went to his and Clay’s new apartment building in Riverside for the first time. I parked and got out of the car and looked up, and MC was creeping from above. We yelled back and forth for a minute, although I had no idea what he was saying. I can’t understand him even when he is standing right next to me. Too Asian. Rob and Clay’s new place is really nice. I had never been in those building before but I really liked it. I know a few other people that live over there. We went to the Loop for lunch, then his old house where I had a package waiting, because I am dumb and shipped it there instead of my own house. I don’t know how that happened.

This afternoon was ridiculously stressful. Granny had to go to the ER since she has a fever and whatnot and I went to get Liam so he wouldn’t have to stay there. We came home and I put together my new camera and then went to Best Buy to pick up Jenn. Then we went to Jiffy Lube so that I could get my oil changed. That took forever and it was gross there. Jenn was crazy today. Running on only 4 hours of sleep and excitement on top of that. Omg. Hyper. We went to Crispers for lunch then to Target so that I could get film and a case for my new camera then to GameStop. That was an experience. Apparently Jenn has never played a GameBoy in her entire life. So she stood there playing GameBoy and Liam tried to pick out games to exchange. This was at 4:30ish, and I still had to drive back to Fort Lauderdale. I was not pleased. By the time we finally left I had to scurry home and get packed and leave. I did not want t leave. I am exhausted and I don’t want to face another week of work. Thank god I am half way through though.

Day 44 - Ponte Vedra, Inksmith, TSI, Joose Adventure

Today started off amazing. I slept in until 11:30, and when I finally wok up, it was my mom waking me up telling me that she got me French Toast from the Brick. God it was delicious. If I could eat that every meal for the rest of my life, I would be content. Fat, but content. We spent the afternoon in Ponte Vedra at Granny’s house. Her surgery went well, and she is just recovering. We didn’t do much, and just relaxed. I went to Fresh Market and Publix and did some grocery shopping then we made dinner. Granny seems to be doing really well. She didn’t seem tired or anything at all.

When I got home tonight I took a shower and got ready to go to TSI. Jenn picked me up and we began our Adventure of the Evening. We were going to go to Kickbacks for a while since Mike Woods was going to be up there, but we wanted to find someone to get us Joose. We stopped at the 7-11 in Five Points, and tried to see if anyone we knew was in the parking lot. While sitting in the car I heard the most hilarious conversation.

Jenn looked over at the next car, where a girl was sitting with the window down: “Hey, is your name Felicia?”
Felicia: “Yeah….”
Jenn: “Oh we met once at Emily’s house.”
Felicia: “Oh Jenn, right?”
Jenn: “Yeah. What are you doing tonight?”
Felicia: “Going to a five kegger at Cuppy’s house.”
Jenn: “Oh do you know Jmo? She will be there.”
Felicia: “No. Who is she?”
Jenn: “Oh she dates Boots.”
Felicia: “Oh, friends with Titties right?”

What the hell. Do people not have normal names anymore? Cuppy, Jmo, Boots, Titties. From here on out, my name is Unicorn. That fits in much better than “Kate.” Felicia said they don’t card at the gas station, so I sent Jenn in to try her luck. Fail. We went to Kickbacks and sat there for seriously 2 minutes then got bored and left. Then we drove back and went to Inksmith, where Mike Woods was still working. We hung out for a bit and watched Lee finish tattooing this one girl, then Mike bought us our Joose. Hoorah. From there we went to TSI and hung out in the car for a little while. We parked on the side of the road near the river, and we sat and watched everyone walk by. There were some funny looking people. One guy was walking towards the car, and he was waving the whole time. We waved back thinking, “ooohh he’s drunk.” Then he walked right at the car and opened my door. Jenn and I both screamed bloody murder. He just said, “oh” and closed the door. It was scary. But of course two seconds later a homeless man walks past and I rolled down my window to make him come over to the car. He was wearing this awesome shirt, and I told him I liked it. Then he just took it off and said, “Here, it shouldn’t smell too bad” and just gave it to me. We gave him the rest of our drinks and took pictures for a bit then headed towards TSI. We told him to walk with us and right when we got there he flipped. Started making a scene and freaking out because I “stole his short.” Jenn had to run back to her car and get it because both of us were scared that he would just break in and get it. While she was gone he said, “Oh you enjoy that shirt. I am just gonna go home and get another one.” Um? Home? Another shirt? What about him flipping on us? We stood in silence for a minute and he said, out of nowhere, “You know it is true what they say about black men.” And I just pretended not to hear, but then he practically screamed it. I was just like, “Oh really.” And he said, “Yes. It all has to do with SEX!” I had no reaction to that one at all. Jenn came back and dressed him and sent him on his way. We scurried into TSI to get away.





Once we were there, safe and sound, Jenn got a quesadilla. I don’t feel like you should ever get food at a place where everyone is supposed to be drunk. Apparently it wasn’t too delicious. We hung out with Clayto for a bit then went inside. There was no one there at all. The majority of the night was spent outside talking with people or meandering about. All in all, it was a hilarious night. The whole time we were driving home my wine bottle was rolling about underneath my seat and I couldn’t find it. But every so often you could hear CLUMP. CLANK. And for some reason each time Jenn and I just cracked up.



Manly.
