random bits and pieces

mardi gras and the such

i got one necklace w/o flashing anyone... let's say it's a green necklace, because we all know my mind can be in the gutter and i learned that term just a few months ago... i'm so tired. i went to my boss's birthday party first where i had probably the equivalent of one margarita. i felt fine after that, then came home for a bit. talked to mom, cleaned up, ivy came home & we headed over to travis's. after exchanging a few well not so appropriate for children under 17 comments :). then we went to travis's where i discovered the wonders of 151. okay so first i made an "amaretto sour." so i had to improvise a bit because there was no sour mix, i did this weird lemon & lime + sugar combination. I think it turned out okay because ivy did drink a good portion of it. i tried making myself one, but i think i need real sour mix. anyways we sat around for a bit, then i had travis make me a hurricane? w/ lots of extra passion fruit syrup. since there wasn't regular rum though we had to sub 151. that thing has a flame retardant cap on it... needless to say about 5-10 mins later i was feeling pretty spacey & sleepy. even andy agreed that i was probably drunk. you know i can't really tell if i am drunk or not. i mean i know what's going on around me... i'm just kind of loopy & sleepy. similar to the feeling i have after pulling an all nighter. well so i laid on the ground and just listened all around me. jay was playing the guitar; i had no idea he could. he & kevin tried to teach me like the first few notes to Collective Soul Needs. sometime later after eating fruit salad and just watching people play guitar & pool, ivy decided it was sleepy time so we walked home.

so one strange thing happened, ivy at some point said joann you should do yoga, so i did a backbend... and some guy (not one that was joking or one that i knew all that well) was like 'oh what would you do if i touched your belly button?' now me being me, and being very close to some of the guys there (good friends not physically) i just ignored the comment, but talk about ewww... i'm really glad i just ignored the comment and tried to phase it out. i don't get where guys get the idea that that is an okay thing to say??? i mean it's one thing if you're a close friend and i know you're just teasing me or whatever, but that's blatantly not so good a comment to make if i don't know you or i've never really had any conversation longer than say 5 mins with you. well luckily i think he took the hint of me ignoring him and didn't pursue the issue further.
