wait oops i typed up a whole long thing and then closed the page and now it’s gone forever :-( all right well here we go again.
six flags was super cute! the lights looked good. we didn’t try to ride rides or anything. okay well we rode the carousel. but mostly we just walked around and michelle and i took pictures. lizzy and victor kept running off together which was silly, but it was just them being them i guess.
after a quick grocery shopping trip - did you know that grocery stores and drug stores are open on new year’s eve?! -, we dropped off victor because 1. he didn’t want to go to the party and 2. his parents wouldn’t let him. nice syntax.
anyway so we eventually arrived at vivian’s! it was basically all the girls plus zach and kye and vivian’s boyfriend. it was a little awkward at first because the beginning of parties always is, but you know when zach arrived with the alcohol everyone relaxed. normally i’m not such a lightweight, but after just a shot and half a drink i was way more than buzzed. and then, since i lack self control, i had a margarita so yes i was pretty wasted by 12. but anyway i had a Good Time and if i’m not mistaken, everyone else did too. i’m really happy that michelle and madi came because they are fun and good company.
no new year’s kisses sigh maybe next year.
of everyone there, i was the mess that needed a place to crash so, since victor is a saint, he just asked his parents if i could stay there and, since they are saints, they said yes! the spanish word for sleep refuge is “posada.” i sobered up for his parents when i got to his house - i’m pretty proud of that performance - and victor and i stayed up talking for an hour or two before i went to sleep in his guest room. like we talked about a lot of things that needed talking about.
victor kept saying “this is so weird” about the situation but you know what? it really wasn’t. and i’m completely grateful to have a friend so good as to take me in like that. this morning when i woke up they were getting ready for church and his mom and i had a really nice conversation about religion.
my Slip Up of the evening was on the ride from vivian’s to victor’s: i texted some things to lizzy that i most certainly should not have. in my further brilliance i deleted all the messages, so i only remember bits and pieces. i should have just asked if she got home okay. god i’m dumb. sometimes though i feel like i’m constantly being lied to and maybe that’s just me being paranoid or maybe there’s a reason for my suspicion?? i am not going to worry about it.
i am just so glad i didn’t black out this time! 2012 here we go.
