An evening with friends, crazy weekend with freak snowstorm
Well the ‘Cheesy Movie’ party at Liam’s was wonderful. All of his friends are just such great, funny people. And, I managed to make it there without falling or twisting my ankle.
It’s sometimes weird going to these parties since a lot of Liam’s guy friends are gay, because they are usually very cute, intelligent and someone I wouldn’t mind dating. So me showing up to such a thing ‘dateless’ as it were only points up the fact that I am alone – I mean heck if a ‘gay’ guy can get a date...(Liam knows I don’t mean anything bad by making this statement).
Once we all started exchanging movies I think some of us were a bit surprised by what other’s had brought to give up. For instance, I got a DVD of the original ‘Planet of the Apes’ – while it jives with the ‘cheese’ factor – it’s definitely a good move – when I questioned the person that gave it up – he told me he had doubles of it…. Someone ended up with a copy of the movie ‘Scream’ too – which is also a good movie.
Don’t get me wrong, there were ‘bad’ movies there. There was of course the obligatory ‘gay porn’ movie – we were really laughing about this because it was so ‘cheesy’ and seemed to be so unlike those of a hetero nature. The movie that ‘won’ the award of being the ‘cheesiest’ and thus the one we watched, was one that was from Liam’s boss (not sure if he put it together, filmed it etc.); it seemed to be a pro-George Bush propaganda-esque film. But there were some really funny bits on this DVD – I mean we were all howling at times. I don’t think the girl who got this 'pick' was very happy with it...
All in all it was a nice evening. Went home to crash in order to get up and drive my son to work the next morning. He had one of his friends over when I got home – they stayed up late (like 2 AM) – but my son managed to get up at 7 AM – brew us a pot of coffee and went to work...I am very proud of him.
Saturday was spent running around looking for Yoga equipment and items to decorate the studio. Then it was the freak blizzard of April – Cleveland-style. THIS IS NUTS!!!! SERIOUSLY NUTS!!!! I have decided I need to get the heck out of the Northeast. I mean it’s SPRING – isn’t it????? The weather is seriously nasty. It’s suppose to get back to normal here today/tomorrow – I am not holding my breath.
While I really like snow and am good about the seasons – I guess I just feel that when it says spring on my calendar it needs to BE SPRING. I realize Mother Nature could care less about how I feel but let’s just say this kind of shit doesn’t happen in the South when it’s suppose to be nice out...
Time to decide where I want to go in the next couple of years – suggestions for nicer places, better economically, etc. are much appreicated.
