Its been a while- or Wow I used a lot of parentheses

So I thought I would update this. Last night I was what Bill was in high school (and still) to our group of girlfriends to a group of guyfriends (does that make sense?). Although I assume some of the dialogue was cleaned up a bit for my sake, I was surprised how similar it was to hanging out with a bunch of my friends.

They went surfing today (yes, at Lake Michigan). And, aside from the toxic smell of resin being applied to Fiberglas it was a fun night (FYI- 90% of people who work with Fiberglas as a career die of cancer). Since the house we were hanging out at was that of a Med student and son of two doctors, an interesting (?) experiment was proposed. What happens to one's blood pressure before and after smoking a bowl (Lets remember I am one half of a pot free couple). The results were inconclusive. Why you ask? Because of the two participants taking in the experiment, one forgot what his original blood pressure number was and the other forgot which arm he originally took it on. This outcome wasn't all that surprising, if you think about it.

Other interesting moments included A LOT of surf/skate stories (oh wait I don't surf or skate... But whatever, boys who do are hot) stories about their high school days (my late elementary and middle school years), my skinny ass boyfriend in his wet suit seeing if it had an affect on his blood pressure (possibly), Several boys trying on their wet suits on to stretch them out and make sure everything was A-OK for today (I must say it was cute watching these guys thin their later 20's getting all hyped up to surf some seven foot waves on a Great Lake). And I must say that neoprene is quite slimming. Not that my boyfriend needs that, he looks like some sort of mythological creature who is real skinny and extra goofy when he's confined to his wetsuit.

This week should be eventful, Monday I drop off an application in person to get a job- lets hope, at Younkers (bla but its temporary). Figure out if we're flying or driving to Florida, and ideally, finalaize Halloween plans.

I believe its a party at the Montie house but I don't know, although with my costume getting in will not be a problem I don't think. I'm being Gloria Steinem, during her 3 week research stint as a playboy bunny. And this isn't a trashy outfit either, its much more Reese Witherspoon a la Legally Blonde, but black like Bridget Jones (only I'm a bit slimmer). Its fairly retro. I've now made it easy for Colin to pick an outfit, and a confortable one at that. Luckily, I found out, his friends have fun with Halloween. There will be pictures. I will be freezing my ass off. Or should I say tail.

To make a full circle here, I was so surprised to see how guys hung out when they were just chilling, so much like us girls, only much more PG- we seem to discuss a few more details... It really makes me miss having all of my friends from our group in hs nearby, as opposed to so many so far away. It gave me something to look forward to, it had been about 10 years since all these guys sat around in the same room just hanging out having a beer, but they did finally all meet up, not for a holiday or wedding or funeral, but just because they could again. So Bitches and Bill, I hope we can all sit around chilling like we used to before a decade passes. I miss our times together a lot.
