ateolf | putting the "arty" in "party"...

Adam and Brad were the first to show up yesterday for the shindig...it was still afternoon...my sister had come over w/ her boyfriend and they weren't leaving, which was kind've annoying...we went to Target and i bought a cheap boombox for rock (as well as a box of Boo Berry)...Justin showed up a little later...we sat around and finally my sister left...we happened to notice that the pool was quite filthy so we did some cleaning work...we also got bit by mosquitoes a lot...it was turning or near it when we started to get in the water...after that Jacques, Amber, Jack, and Becky finally arrived...they had been at the Cooper-Young festival earlier and Jacques got me a fucking awesome poster...it's for Kafka (the movie, one of the best movies ever...) Paul and Shawna made it as well...and i had finally able to get in touch w/ Jenna a little earlier and she was able to make it out as well...swimming, rocking to cds, and pizza all rocked our ballz...it was quite a good time kickin' it and everything...Amber was prob'ly the drunkest i've ever seen her and it was actually really cute...the Jacques/Amber/Jack/Becky crew was the first to leave a quarter 'til one...oh fuck! also, earlier Adam brought his tuba and clarinet out from his car trunk and a little noise-making happened on those...that ruled...yea, then Adam and Brad left...i found my computer so i could play Paul some of my old mods and he played me some of his new mp3s...then it was decided to go to Kroger...Justin left and Paul, Jenna, and i made the trek...then when we got back we (including Shawna) watched Amélie and this time i was able to see the end! i'll give a little synopsis of it now...all in all it was quite a good movie...but i know if it were made in america w/ that plot, it would have been hoaky garbage...the good far outweighed the cheesiness, but there was still an element residing...especially regarding the end...that type of "hollywood magic" tends to leave me a little on the nautious side...a lot of ppl said how the movie gave them a great feeling and was all wonderful, etc. but i actually found myself almost depressed thinking about it...not quite, but almost...it was 6am when it was over...Jenna left and Paul and Shawna crashed in the guest bedroom (the one i'm in now...) they were going to get up early to return the video but they decided to sleep in and get the late fee...so i was surprised to find them still here when i woke up (but pleasantly so...) and i'd like to give them a BAJILLION thanks in advance for agreeing to come over tonight while i'm at work and let the dogs outside...YOU ROCK! and speaking of my dogs, it seemed everyone seemed to be in love w/ them...i mean, they ARE the best dogs ever...(Lacey's sleeping at my feet right now...her neck fur's on my toes...it's quite adorable...) well...i should prob'ly finish getting ready for work soon...
