"hey! i'm starting to feel ok."
saturday night started off at mark and adam's where they taught me how to play poker. mark decided that the two losing hands had to drink a shot of wine after each round. why? good question! i'd never done wine shots but i was game as long as i didn't get too drunk to meet linde once she got off of work. when adam and i saw that mark had pretty much accumulated all the chips, we bet him that if one of us somehow came back to win, he would have to drink whatever wine was left in the bottle. at that point there was probably a good 3/7ths of a bottle left. mark laughed at us and agreed to the bet just as i was drenched by the beginner's luck superwave. the next thing we knew, adam and i were cackling, high-fiving and yelling at mark to "drink!!! drink!!!" mark was a great sport and held up his end of the bet. after that, things got a little crazy in that "i really don't understand what is going on right now but i'm having so much fun" way. when i finally summoned the nerve to leave, i thought to myself how lucky i am to know mark and adam.
when i got to linde's, we did a jager shot and began to drink vodka-wines. yup, you read that correctly. wine and vodka in the same glass! why? because i'm retarded and linde's a great sport. we should have known we were in trouble when ramona the russian arrived, sampled our alcoholic concoction, did a spit-take and asked for something else right after declaring "i'll drink anything!". yeah, so linde and i kept drinking vodka-wines and did a jager shot with ramona. i think we did more shots when ramona left and jennifer and stephanie stopped by but i honestly cannot remember too clearly. oh yeah, i think i puked a little on linde's bathroom rug!!! i woke up in my clothes on the couch at 8ish perhaps and learned that i'd blacked out for the first time in a while. i never even made it to my car to grab my backpack in which i'd packed pajamas, a toothbrush and the office and weeds dvd's for linde. oh well. vodka-wines are no joke, people!!!
anyway, linde and i hung out for a while sunday morning, laughing about the previous night. when we looked at my pictures, there were a bunch i didn't remember taking. then i headed home and she headed to work. how she managed to work all day after an evening laced with vodka-wines i'll never know!
best weekend, yo.
