sometimes people are stupid

So! My brother is married. It is done.

My weekend, in brief:

Friday: arrived at hotel and left immediately for the bridal luncheon where there was lots of yummy food, got nails done, had rehersal dinner at Stone Mountain's marina. Got lost for an hour coming back, but J and I were asleep in the back seat so it didn't matter much to us. My Aunt K's parents left without her (they're 80 some years old) got lost, and didn't make it back to the hotel until ONE PM THE NEXT AFTERNOON. Yes, folks, they were lost from 10 at night to 1 the next day. It was a little nerve-wracking.

Saturday: had my make-up done, hair shelacked, put on my neck-plunging bridesmaid gown. Dudes, it was so low. I had to tape myself and I was worried I was going to pop out all night. I'll have pics in a few days maybe :) Had a very nice reception, then I went to sleep while J stayed up and got so drunk he threw up all night all over the hotel room. I was and am still very pissed. I had to stay up all night and clean up after him and make sure he didn't destroy the room. I left the maid a hefty tip anyway, but way to put a strain on my brother's wedding J! Thanks!

Sunday: woke up after about 3 hours sleep for the wedding brunch. J, still drunk, managed to behave himself and not throw up at the table. Packed up and headed for the airport, where about 15 other guests from Philly were also on the flight. Got home around 5, rounded up all the animals. The cats were angry, Moose wanted to go back to J's parents, Roxy just wanted ATTENTION she's such a brat, and Chewie wouldn't leave my lap. Happy didn't even notice we were gone, so long as her food arrived in time.

So, yeah, not the relaxing weekend I had been hoping for, but it's OVER thank god. Did I miss anything around here?

Congrats about your brother! It sucks that it wasn't relaxing though.

:(

Although, my brother got married a couple of years ago, and my sister and I were in the wedding, and it was just like. Not pleasant.

It didn't help that our sister-in-law hates us.

Anyway. Nothing much happened with me while you were gone. I wrote Spencer/Mouse Spencer-is-an-abused pornstar fic and almost bombed my Gender and Globalization midterm.

I hope you're doing well!

Family weddings just aren't as fun as they seem on paper, right? Although, yes, hateful family members would make it worse *nods*

I wrote Spencer/Mouse Spencer-is-an-abused pornstar fic DUDE! Is it sad? *hopes it's not sad* I'm going to go read fic now!

[vampyreranger.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I'm glad you're back!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* thank you! It's good to be back *nods*

[withoutmaps.livejournal.com]

Eee! I am glad you are back :)

But sorry about the weekend being not so relaxing. :/

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

It was bound to happen. I mean, I can't go away without disaster SOMEWHERE you know? *sigh*

[veracity]

Dude, you shoulda made J clean that shit up. I mean, honestly! You can't take him anywhere. Don't have a full bar at your wedding. I'm just saying.

Also? You went to STONE MOUNTAIN? Did you take Memorial Drive? *snort* If you did, welcome to one Atlanta ghetto. At least until you get around VA-Highlands. And why, in god's name, did you have the rehearsal dinner there? Didcha get to see the laser show at least? And man, I'm so not surprised it took that long to unloose themselves in Atlanta. And you weren't even *in* Atlanta. Stone Mountain is like an iffy suburb. *pets* I'm sorry.

Make J clean all the litter boxes, dog shit, and Happy's cage. And if he does it wrong? Make him do it until he gets them right. Teach him a lesson. But it's good the animals missed you. Some of them. I'm sure it was thrilling to have Moose not miss you. *laugh* Poor thing. And the cats...I wouldn't piss them off. They could cut you in your sleep.

I have no idea how we got there but the area we passed didn't seem too bad. I wasn't paying much attention, though. The marina was really nice though. It was a gorgeous night and we had this huge outdoor deck and the inside, too, and my brother had hired a blue grass band and the food wasn't *great* but it wasn't bad either.

J has to do A LOT to make it up to me.

I had my Jr. prom at the Evergreen center, whatever it's called, and I when I teeny we would go all the time. Since it's a kid-friendly place. Too bad you didn't get to go up the mountain. You can see Atlanta from there. It's kinda awesome. And I hate heights. At least you had fun, ya know? Like, you can look back on it in 10 years and have positive memories, too.

You'd know if you down Memorial. Trust me. The other way is highway 78. Depends on what entrance y'all went in. The worst ghetto sides are the southside of the city, so you would have been fairly safe.

J better be planning the best damn event known to man. Like it ought to be Olympic caliber. Damn it. Or I'm selling him to the circus. And giving you what little paycheck he earns as a bonus.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I've been to Stone Mountain when I was very very little. I remember it being cool at the top and that my dad, who's afraid of heights, barely made it up there on that gondola thingy.

[veracity]

You should have seen it now. It's pretty fascinating, really. Because it's interesting to see the high rises that far away. It's really bad you look over the edge, though. I'm always afraid I'm going to fall over.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

yeah, I wouldn't be able to look over the edge.

[veracity]

I don't blame you. I hate the edges.

I've been looking up info for trips to Italy next summer. I've decided that when my inheritance comes in, I really want to spend some of what I can get on doing for *me*, just once.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Italy! That sounds awesome, you should totally do that. I am awfully fond of Switzerland myself. There's so much to DO.

[veracity]

After looking at the prices, I can't see spending 7k in total on a trip. It hurts my brain trying to wrap around those figures. My granddad, the who left me this money, was from Switzerland. If I do go? I'll go to like Ireland for a shorter stay. The prices were more in line with my budget.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

oooo, ireland! pretty!

[veracity]

Well, you've seen what Atlanta calls green. Can you blame me?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I really want to go to ireland myself

[veracity]

I have issues putting down that much money. Especially my godmom in my ear, telling me all my responsibilities I have, too. Apparently I'm not 26, but 5.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I'm the same way. I have a really hard time putting money down for trips.

[veracity]

Well, I think my problem is that I know what the money could be used for, and I know it's hard for me to use it for me. My godmom reminding didn't help. I have things I *need* to pay off, and will, but I had planned on about 4-5k. And yeah, not so much gonna happen. I got the laundry list at me.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I am a hoarder. I like squirrelling money away, and J likes to spend it *shakes head*

[veracity]

See, after my major fuck up at 18, I'm really careful with it. I got the meaning of it. But the thing is, that I really, really need a vacation away from everyone. And I wanted to go outside the US. But at this point, I might have to stay in it. Which sucks. Cause I wanted to go explore and have fun. I think my last vacation was like five years ago. And my last one alone was seven. So I need the time to myself. And my godmom decided to tell me everything I need to do with the money. Like I don't know. Kinda like how dare I be selfish for a brief minute.

Nothing much happened with me, except that I've been lured away from the joy of the Panic! as Breakfast Club fic (because it stalled hard and I was getting nowhere) and am plotting/reworking The Princess Bride really quickly to get it done before the challenge is up at reel_band.
By the way, do you mind if I email you stuff about the fic and you can tell me if I've lost my mind or not?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

reel_band yay! I was starting to get worried that no one else was going to post! Feel free to email me whatever you like - I'd love to help!

[wordsindreams.livejournal.com]

Ouch! It sounds like he got really incredibly drunk. Vomit! YUCK.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

It was DISGUSTING! God, the things you do for people you love, right?
