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.

Day 9 - Art, TSI

This morning I woke up to my aunt and cousin coming over to wait on UPS. UPS said they would be there between 10 and 11 and nor surprisingly they didn't show. But at like 11:30 there was a knock on the door and surprisingly it was the UPS man. We spent the next few hours hanging art. We got a bunch of original Duaivs and an original Peter Max, which I was basically salivating over. I never thought I would own a Peter Max. He is easily the most famous living artist, and when he dies he is going to be as famous as Warhol. The house looks amazing with all of the new art. There were these terrible pictures of me in the bathroom in a bathing suit from when I was 15 and those got replaced. Thank god. Marsha loaded up her car with a bunch more pieces, some Duaivs and an original copy of a Rembrandt sketch. It's so amazing.

This afternoon all I did was sleep. I got no sleep last night and this morning I was up far too early for my liking. This evening my mom, Liam, Jenn and I all came out to Ponte Vedra to have dinner. My aunt made all of my favorites. It was delicious. Jenn and I left Ponte Vedra and came back to my house and got changed and went out. Justin was having a party at his house and Jarrett told me to go out there. Last time I was at Justin’s was over thanksgiving break. It was easily the nest night of my thanksgiving break. It was just me, Jarrett, Perry, and Justin and some other guy, and they were all so wasted and stoned. Perry was so stoned he was asleep on the couch the whole time I was there and I couldn't wake him up. So tonight there were a few more guys there, including Trevor who I see almost every time I go to the mall. Jenn be I realized that we have never played beer pong together and we fixed that. Last time I was there Jarrett made me play even though I told him that I am easily the worst beer pong player in the world, and he made me play again last night. Right before we played and during my heart started freaking out. My heart has been fine once last summer and having it randomly race like it did tonight really scared me. It was worse than it was last summer, and I could barely breathe. I don't know why that was happening. I barely drink any caffeine now and there was mo reason for it to do that. It was scary.

After we left Justin’s we went to TSI. Jenn ad I were driving around downtown trying to find a parking spot to go to VyStar, and the whole time I was about to pee myself. We finally got to TSI and Jenn was changing her clothes so I peed in the corner of the parking lot. I can't remember the last time I did that, but tonight I was pretty proud of myself for some really odd reason.

Anyways. TSI was fun. We danced and hung out and there weren't very many people there. My heart kept racing the whole night and it was hard to ignore. We were sittng by the pool tables towards the end of the night and this guy asked to play with him. He was so drunk it was hilarious. He didn't understand that you have to put money into the pool table to get the balls out. We finally started to play and that's when the creepy began. While either Jenn or I was playing our turn, he would get behind either of us that were still standing there and rub our backs and just scoot towards us when we moved away. When he talked he got so close our noses touched and I had nowhere to back up. When we were dome playing he asked me "so you want my number or what?" haha ew. Jenn came over and we just laughed at him. We decided to go dance and left him then all of the sudden he was creeping right behind us. It was funny yet creepy.

My heart still has me worried. If it happens again I will have to go back to the hospital. Which is not something I want to do. Obviously.

Tomorrow Jenn and I are going back out to Ponte Vedra to lay out by the pool and have a cook out. I didn't update my Daily Booth today either. I can't slack this early in the summer

Day 8 - UPS, Steamworks, Three Wolf Moon Shirt

When my mom and aunt went on the Disney cruise in March, they bought a bunch of art from one of the auctions. There was an original Peter Max included, which I would kill for. UPS has been being super difficult about getting it all to us, constantly saying that they came and no one was here to sign for it, although they kept coming by when no one is home, and we told them when we would be home and what not. Finally, they said that they would definitely bring it by today. So I had to get u this morning at 8 and sit around all day waiting for them to deliver everything. I couldn’t shower or go back to sleep since I knew that if I did, they would come in those few minutes. So basically I did nothing toady. And did UPS ever come? Of course not. My aunt and Patrick and Granny Franny all came over later and we got dinner and continued to wait for UPS. After a bunch of phone calls, UPS promised that they would deliver the art between 10 and noon tomorrow. And I will be up and waiting for it then.

Tonight Jenn and I went to Steamworks. It was kind of boring and it ended up back firing on us. Jenn saw someone she didn’t want to see, and we left. I don’t really want to get into all of that here though. We are now sitting at my house, eating brownies and watching Twilight.

I made a magical discovery tonight. The Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt on Amazon. The comments are completely hilarious. Best one:

"This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called meth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him. I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.
Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark."

Tomorrow I am supposed to go shopping with my mom to get clothes for my internship, but I want to go to the Jazz festival at the Landing. I have never been before. I don’t know, we shall see. All in all today was pretty uneventful, aside from tonight. I am going to go enjoy Twilight and try not to fall asleep. I got a Daily Booth, too. http://dailybooth.com/kgoreee Creep me there too. Hoorah.


Last thing, my scarf I ordered from ModCloth came in, and I am in love with it.
