I am Poor

Okay, I'm not poor. I'll explain in a bit.

Friday I didn't do much. I went to Steak N' Shake with Isabella, Melisse, Adam, and James. Jon, Brett, and this other kid named Josh came too and they were all high from pot brownies. So basically they acted ridiculous and we all ate. Then we all made plans to go to Jon's house, but I decided not to go. I've had a shit load of homework to do this week so I figured I'd probably better get it done over the weekend. And, Jon and his friends are kind of lame when they're high, so I told Adam this and to tell them I was busy and that I'd just see them later. When I got home I got a text from Adam that read:

Josh you were totally right. They being completely retarded right now and not the fun kind of retarded.

Josh is always right :)

Anyway, Saturday was much more exciting. Melisse and I were supposed to go to Boca with my friend Stephanie because she got invited to a party. To put it frankly (which I love doing) Stephanie is ghetto and Melisse and I are very much not. Regardless, I wanted very much to go to Stephanie's party. She told me at the last party she went to some guys were playing beer pong, and then a crew of guys came in, shoved everything off the table and started doing lines of coke. That's something that I feel I need to see. (For the record, I don't do/have never done drugs, nor have I ever drank or been drunk, or even smoked cigarettes) Melisse then informed me that we were invited to a party at our friend Kayleigh's house. So we decided to both.

We got to Kayleigh's and Melisse says to me: "I'm getting drunk. For real." She then proceeded to down in the course of the night two glasses of wine with orange juice, one glass of just wine, two bud lights, and then drank some wine out of the bottle. That's my girl.

Eventually we left Kayleigh's and went to go get Stephanie and meet up with her short friend Marco. Melisse, by this time drunk, declared "This is a midget's house!" upon entering his home. We then drove all the way to Boca to find out the party had been moved. Instead of trying to find out where it had been moved to we decided to just go back to Kayleigh's house.

We got back and Kayleigh was drunk off of her ass. She kept on falling over and screaming. So I kind of walked around taking care of her and Melisse (for example, having to fight a broom away from Kayleigh to sweep up glass from a bottle that Melisse broke), but I didn't really mind. I kept on trying to make sure Melisse would eat, but she refused to eat anything that wasn't healthy. When I tried to get her to eat pizza she said "I'm an ADULT! I don't eat pizza! ONLY HEALTHY FOOD!" so I had to give her carrots. I called Isabella and Adam and got them to come over.

When they arrived they looked at Melisse and Isabella asks "Is Melisse really drunk?" Melisse then proceeded to spit out carrots. By this time, I had also decided it was a good idea to put Kayleigh's weave on my scalp. I looked great, haha ;D. Eventually Melisse started spitting water on herself and went to sleep.

When Adam came over he awkwardly started chatting up this girl he likes, named Missy. She and Isabella convinced him to get drunk, which was fun because he never drinks. He got slightly tipsy. I made sure that Adam asked Missy to hang out with us tomorrow that way he could hang out with her on Valentine's Day.

Sunday, was Valentine's Day and Adam had made plans with Missy to hang out with us at the mall. So Adam texts everyone trying to get them to come to the mall but James and I were the only one's who showed up. So we went to go visit her at work, and convinced her to come hang out with us later.

Then James, Adam and I went to go get something to eat and James asked the question. Every gay guy, at some point, gets asked by his straight friends about their sex life, they're just always a little bit curious.

"Josh... this is gonna' sound really awkward..."

"I'm sure it won't."

"Um... so like are you a giver or a receiver?"

It was kind of cute I guess. Out of my friends I'm actually the only non-virgin, which is kind of cool, I guess? Maybe? I don't know, it doesn't really matter at all.

I ended up taking Melisse out to Falafel Bistro (a Mediterranean place), for dinner for Valentine's Day because we agreed to go on a date. She's an ADULT who only eats HEALTHY so instead of chocolate I brought her a fruit bowl and some bubbles. We had a nice dinner and I told her about all the funny stuff she did when she was drunk because she didn't remember any of it.

Today, I didn't have school because of President's Day. James invited us to go to his private beach resort in Boca (James is a millionaire) so Isabella, Adam, Melisse, and I all went with him. This is when I came to the realization that I am poor.


(Melisse and I, being poor).

It was a really, really, really nice beach resort. However, rich people who live on the beach tend to be fat and have leathery skin, so I guess I'd rather be attractive and young than rich? Eh. The resort had all sorts of things like little beach attendants, and $16 water and croquet and I don't even know.

When we decided to get lunch our bill was $130. That's ridiculous. The food, however, was delicious. We also noticed on the menu that there was ice cream worth $1000. Who pays $1000 for ice cream? Did I mention that the ice cream had on it edible 24kt gold leaf. Yes, apparently people who are rich enough actually eat gold. I, am poor.

All in all though, it was a really fun weekend and I hope next week turns out to be just as good. I'm sure this post is a mile long. Whateva, whateva.

Terrence

So I had a pretty good weekend, and a pretty good day today as well. I'll overview.

So Friday, we had a party in honor of my friend Terrence. There wasn't any special reason we were having a party for him, we just kind of felt like it. So we decided that we were all going to dress like him (we all wore sweater vests and glasses) and we all wore Yale stickers (because he got accepted to Yale, because he's a smart mother fucker.) We never ever get to hang out with Terrence on the weekends because he's busy saving the world ("Guys I can't come to the party I'm feeding the homeless today."), however he promised us he'd be at this party.

Of course, he didn't show up. It got to be around 11 at night, and we were tired of waiting and he wasn't answering his phone. So we drove to his neighborhood and looked around trying to find his house. Eventually we found his car and rang his doorbell. His mother called us h00dr4ts. Whateva.

On Saturday I went to an award show for that art competition I submitted to. I ended up winning gold on my portfolio, which is good because it puts me into the running for a scholarship. I was supposed to go to a party with my friend whose parents were out, but she canceled her party. Lame.

Sunday, I slept (almost)literally all day.

Today, was good, in that school was easy and it was just a nice normal day. Then I got home and in the mail I got two letters. One was from the UCF honors college saying that I'd been accepted. I didn't really care but it made my mom happy. Then I got a letter, stating I was a finalist in the National Achievement Scholarship, which means I get money from schools :D (Of course, Terrence also got this Scholarship). So, things turned out pretty well the past few days. Hopefully tomorrow works out too. :D

Camping and New Years

So this Tuesday was the camping trip. It got off to a rough start (we ended up leaving an hour late), but we still got there in time to get a spot and set up a tent before dark. Overall I'd say I had a nice time, we mostly just played Apples to Apples and then my friend Carla and I walked around the camp site for an hour or two, I don't really remember. When we got back, Isabella (Wrinkles from before) and her boyfriend Jon were in the tent alone together so Carla, James and I ended up sleeping in my car.

When we woke up it was 45 degrees. I know that's not much for most people but in South Florida that's freezing so we drove off the campsite just the three of us and went to Dunkin Donuts to get some warm food and then came back. Then we decided we'd screw with the guys sleeping in the tent and we took it apart while they were still sleeping in it. It was pretty funny.

Eventually Jon accidentally locked his friends keys in his car, so we had to sit there and wait for someone to come open his car, but then they couldn't get the trunk open, which is where the keys were so they had to wait for a locksmith. By that time I was hot, and ready to go home so half of us got into my car and drove home. So, even though the end and beginning of the trip were kind of sucky it was still nice overall.

And Happy New Years, I guess. I really hope 2010 is as good as 2009 was.

Christmas and Beyond

My Christmas was nice. I got a lot of cool clothes that I wanted. (this, this, this) I also have another box of stuff from Topman coming in the mail so that's pretty exciting. For one of my stocking stuffers my Dad gave me a gold tie bar, which made me pretty happy. So, all in all, I'd say it was a pretty nice Christmas. I guess the only thing I wasn't too fond of was my sister's boyfriend showing up; he's kind of obnoxious and stupid.

The next day my fiends and I exchanged gifts. I ended up getting three pairs of the exact same shoes, which was kind of funny. My best friend, Wrinkles (it's just her nickname) gave me a really great sweater. We ended up playing that game where you put a piece of paper on your head and try to guess who you are:

Like this.
Or this.

Jon, (Wrinkles' boyfriend) didn't really seem to like it, I think it's because he wasn't very good at it. He's actually been getting on my nerves lately. I think it's just because I'm starting to get jealous of all the time he and Wrinkles spend together though. We're all supposed to go camping today, so we'll see how that goes.
