jill had her birthday party at my place last night. how did that happen? it went something like this:
phone: ring ring
henry: hey jill, what's up?
jill: not much. what are you doing next thursday?
h: nothing, why?
j: can i have my birthday party at your place? it'll be like 25 people, you'll know half of them.
h: hmm, can i get back to you?
j: sure!
at first i was thinking that i hadn't even had a party at my place yet, why should i host someone else's? but then i figured i might never host my own party so why not? plus it'd be some of my friends coming over anyway. i text messaged her back "mi casa es su casa". we spoke shortly after and i asked what she needed of me. i was going to be out of town that weekend and busy the next two nights so wouldn't have a lot of time to plan and prepare for it. luckily all i needed to do was clean my place, easy enuf.
the night of the party rolls around and jill asks me to run over to spec's and pick up some liquor, she wants to make chocolate martinis and buttery nipples. to make that we need grey goose vodka, godiva chocolate liquor, creme de cacao, bailey's irish cream, and dekuyper butterscotch schnapps. while i'm there i pick up something for myself, namely pear cider, which i find next to the cosmetics, tampons, and other feminine products. seriously tho, the shit tastes good and has more alcohol by volume than beer! cider has 5%, shiner has 4.8%. bitch drink or not, all 6 bottles were gone by the end of the night. not sure how many were drank by bitches tho. add a coupla packs of plastic cups to the mix and the bill is $132! that's 6 lap dances plus tip! jill's mom reimbursed me (not in flesh currency) so it was all good.
it's great to be creative with food and drink but the perspective is different if you're a host or guest. for example, lots of shaved chocolate to line the rim of the glasses for the chocolate martinis. guests see it and think "wow, that's sweet!" me, i see chocolate shavings all over the floor and think "fucking cleanup nightmare!" drunk fools come up to me and go "hey, sweet party! where's the wine?" i'm thinking "after i mop it all up i'm gonna stick it in your ass."
really, i sound bitter but it was a great party. people were eating and drinking, there was a limbo competition, and then a lot of dancing. most importantly the birthday girl had a great time with her friends. jill, her sister, and mom stayed after to help clean up too. my floors and countertops are still filthy though and i'm not looking forward to cleaning that up. did i mention jill's younger sister is cute as hell? she's a phd student at the university of texas, is pretty cool, and has a nice rack. the downside is she's getting a divorce and is seeing someone else.
in other news, i'm getting staffed in rochester, ny, through april 2007 for work. i'll be flying in and out, monday through thursday, most weeks. i fucking hate cold weather too. paul, when's the next vegas tournament?
