I Was The One Worth Leaving

So I have Friday night and up until now (Monday, 3:04AM) to talk about. Not much of a time difference, but I guess I did some stuff.

Friday night, I went to Gavino’s to have some board game action. That’s what it was originally going to be, until we went out to get some liquor. I bought us some vodka (3 olives citrus, I believe) some tequila (this strawberry cream flavored), and some bloody mary mix (for Gavino). We went back and started drinking immediately. We were playing some SNES, some Family Feud and Zombies Ate My Neighbors, then we finally tried switching to board games. April and I had drank the same amount really up until that point, Gavino wasn’t trying to get wasted. The strawberry cream tequila was so amazingly good (I think it was called Tequila Rose). Had a mojito, a midori sour, and some more shots. We were originally going to play Lord of the Rings Risk, but then we switched to Life. That didn’t last too long, and after half an hour or so, we were rolling around on the floor and finished the night watching Family Guy.

Saturday wasn’t too thrilling, from what I remember. I woke up late (even though I originally woke up at around 11AM) – like around 2pm. Played WoW for most of the day. Procrastination or forgetfulness attributed to me not doing anything with the video footage from last Wednesday. I was able to sell some stuff on the AH, do dailies, and whatnot (should have leveled the warrior). I forgot to add that when I got home Friday night, I did some arenas w/Luke and Carl). This night, Jared was on and we ran his priest through Strat while he did a bit of Salvia. We listened on vent and just cracked up. We did some horrible arenas, then Jared went to bed, so the rest of us went on Halo 3 for a bit.

Sunday was the day for Gavino’s birthday dinner. I already spent around $160 during the week, on Boston’s from Wednesday night ($105-ish after tip), and drinks on Friday ($55-ish), give or take. So I told Gavino I didn’t want it to get too pricey, but it wasn’t too much of a problem. It’s been a slightly bad month due to the excessive price of partying, and not to mention it’s car insurance premium month. So couple $475 premium with $360 car payment, and you’ve got around an $840 month in just car stuff. Well, I’ll go into the Rodizio, but it ended up being another $115 to the list of food/drink related stuff with Gavino & April, putting me at the grand total of $275-ish. Bump that up to $300 and it gets pretty hefty. Ahh well, gotta have fun now and then eh?

So we decided to go to this Rodizio up north, though the traffic and rain weren’t looking too great. I had never been to a rodizio before, but I figured it sounded delicious enough, and I’m not one to push away yummy food, especially buffet style meat. We got there, and it was a pretty fancy place. It seemed like a normal buffet at first, with some good looking food, fried rice, empanadas, and sushi. After a little while, these guys walking around with skewers of meat and huge knives came to the table and started unloading all sorts of incredibly delicious meats upon us. It was amazing, and tons tons tons of food. I’d love nothing more to go back one day. The only food I didn’t really like too much were the chicken hearts (which were order only and Gavino/April wanted them; they weren’t bad tasting, were pretty good actually, but for some reason the thought of eating a chicken’s heart was a little too much for me), and the quail (just tasted like chicken).

We drove home, and it was peaceful. Rain on the parkway, calm night, cool outside. Gavino seemed upset that the bill was high, cause he had told me it wouldn’t be too expensive. I told him not to worry about it. He says he’ll repay me one day for this stuff and I told him not to worry about it, but he kept insisting. I don’t want to feel like I’m buying their friendship. I know they say they love me, and I really think it’s great. I don’t think I’ve ever had friends that said that to me. Chris and I were close, and we were friends for a long time, but I don’t know. I guess it’s a different kind of friendship now (with Gavino/April and I). A bit more mature, I suppose? There are things I get a bit upset about, but it seems to pass quickly (though some things I probably won’t ever get over, and I guess I have to, as Gavino puts it, “(you’re stuck with us,) deal with it”).

We finished the night with some Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life.

Finished tonight with some quick WoW: checking AH sales, fishing a bit, etc. Tomorrow (well, in a few hours) is the new work week…guess we’ll see how much better things go this week. Filming episode 2 stuff on Wednesday, and that’s all the plans I can forsee (except possible Archimonde tonight and whatever raid Tuesday).

NAIHGTZ!
