"go out and get your own life, and live it your way..."

back! from the wedding!

so lets do the rundown of predictions. what an awesome weekend. it was a beautiful ceremony, scottie and kristin looked great, everything was amazing, and the open bar from 5 until 11:30 helped to fuel a whole lotta fun. lets re-cap:

prediction #1: not so good. travis didn't get really drunk. but i think he had a really good time. he, i, and flowers basically hung out the whole time. which included at 2:00am trip to the sketchiest Denny's I've ever seen in my life the first night. which included this security guard manning the "hostess" post, who had 2 lazy eyes, a limp in his walk, and sounded like he had no idea what "English" was. I'd say he was about 55 years old, nasty grey beard, weathered face, etc. basically a drug addict with a uniform. so yeah, that was awesome. but it was awesome to see travis, and i had a great time. just like old college days. i even tricked him into eating some scrapple sunday morning. i ordered it because i had never had it before, and took a bite. and flowers and t-nuts looked at me and were like "how is it", so i kinda smiled, nodded my head in approval, and was like "travis, you gotta get in on this." so he takes a bite and immediately his facial expression is one of "what the fuck?" and he goes "dude, this is horrible" and i said "i know. its the worst fucking shit i've ever had in my life." oh man, that was awesome.

prediction #2: this didn't really pan out either. nick didn't get super drunk (his girlfriend AND ex-girlfriend were there, which was amusing to watch), and he certainly didn't kiss any dudes that i saw. damn it. it was great to see nick though. still funny as hell, and still does the "giaimo shuffle" on the dance floor. good times.

prediction #3: so, this kinda happened. scottie didn't try to take any chair i was sitting in, but there was a LOT of talk about it from the ex-WOMB (wake frisbee) guys. so at the reception i went up and sat in his chair up on stage (i guess it was kind of like a throne). and then scott came over and was like "what the?" and we fake-wrestled for about half-a-second before he realized there was cake waiting for him at his seat. so then he took a bite of his cake, and i got my congratulatory high-fives and "that was hilarious" comments from all post-wake players. that is the stuff of legends.... or really lame incidents that happened during college of which i'm not too proud. although i guess looking back and laughing about a situation is better than looking back and being pissed and/or embarrassed. so i'll give me a 1/2 on this prediction

prediction #4: ok, so this prediction was the lay-up. kobe! anyone who knows siler KNEW he was going to get way too drunk. which culminated with him falling on the dance floor and spilling beer all over everything. and then him getting up (with help) and walking around with his shirt untucked, disheveled looking, never to be seen again. that was awesome. and him telling me 4 or 5 times how much he misses me and how i should move to charlotte. gotta love scott siler.

so, at least a 1.5 out of 4 is good. ok, maybe not. so i suck at predictions. but it was an awesome weekend. what i DIDNT predict is that one of my buddies (name not to be mentioned so he doesn't get in trouble) made out with his first asian. (lock it up). and i called all the moves from about a minute or two before they happened. and it was broken up before anything really happened by their drunk roommate walking in eating fritos. and i also didn't call having a slutty blond (3rd girl in the room with the asian and the drunk eating fritos) compliment me on my "perfect nook" (which is apparently the area between your shoulder and chest where a girl lies her head, presumably after sex), and then ask me if i could get us a room so we could "do this." to which i replied, "wow. well, that is forward. forward is good." and then i turned her down, at which point she got pissed. hmmm. let me think about that. i am not drunk enough to make you good looking enough for me to sleep with, and the only thing i want to go home from this wedding with are memories, not mouth herpes and an itchy crotch. oh well. so, no sex for me. the dry spell continues. but also no STDs! so i'd say thats a win for me.

man, we gotta do this more often. what an awesome time. good stories, good memories, and great to see the wake crew again.
