Let the good times roll...

I already miss this guy!

My friend Eric was le'tired
at the party.

So the last couple weekends have had some crazy eventful nights. My friend Alex was leaving, so he had something like 800 going away events. I made it to 3 of them and all of them were a bit more than I anticipated. That's A-OK though. Friday the 18th of July he had a house party in which he gave away all of his household things he wasn't taking with him, like food, cleaning supplies, etc, using the white elephant gift exchange method. This was insanely fun, but also exhausting for me. I ended up stealing my friend Rachel's bags... twice. She was less than thrilled, particularly when I came in for the second bag. Luckily for her, her husband was there with her, so she got him to steal her new bag so she could steal back the second bag I stole from her. Damn my luck! The next weekend we went out to MF bar to say goodbye again, and this time we ended up in a singing room until after 5AM. I didn't get home until nearly 6... that made sleeping in on Sunday and then attempting to sleep Sunday night SO much fun. I came to find out yesterday at work that he was having yet another gathering last night. So, of course, I had to go. We ate fried eggs and omelettes and drank bamboo wine far later than was planned. I am so happy I got to see him and give him one last hug before he shipped off. He always gives the best hugs!

Blue, hot pink, neon green eye shadows,
and fake lashes. Rock star!

This past weekend was my friend Jarrod's birthday. It was a glam rock themed birthday, so I needed to do a lot of work on my hair and my make-up in order to fit the theme. I borrowed the best pallette of eye shadow colors from my friend Elvie and went to town with my eye makeup. I even wore false eyelashes for the first time. I need more practice with those and better glue next time I wear them.

The party itself was a lot of fun. We were blessed with a typhoon and insane amounts of humidity, so our teased hair kept falling flat, but we made the best of it. First we ended up at Bunny's for drinks and final touch-ups. The main party was at MF Bar (two weekends in a row here). We had a lot of fun here and I had to sit through several insanely disturbing versions of the Aristocrats joke. At one point a foreskin version of Cthulu was summoned. I worry about my friends sometimes. Next we moved on to see my friend's band perform at Urban. We didn't stay too long though. At that point the party split up into several smaller groups, as often happens around these parts. All-in-all a great night!

Jarrod & I. SO glam.

We look like hair band groupies.
