I got a ride from my friend, Cody, whom ive known since 5th grade, to see a play all the way across town that a mutual friend of ours from 5th grade starred in. Already crazy, right? So, first off, this school is HUGE and they have an ACTUAL theatre, as opposed to our school, which sports a tiny little cafetorium. They had incredible lights and sound, and the seats were on a sloping platform... i know this is all so nerdy, but it was amazing. I wish i could steal it for OUR drama club! haha
Then, "The Great Ghost Chase" began. (Thats the play) I wont spoil it for you, but basically its a musical comedy that takes place at an insane asylum where a recent earthquake has jarred awake some powerful spirits from the nearby burial ground, one of which is a poltergeist. While the "Ghost Chasers" are busy trying to catch it, several of the patients at the asylum are pretending to live out their fantasies due to the doctor's theory that doing so will bring them back to health. My friend Richie was playing one of the main characters, Dr. Roy, the patient who was pretending to be the doctor for most of the play. It was one of the most hilarious things id ever seen :)
After the play, we waited around for Richie to come out from backstage so we could hang out for a few. When he got out, however, since tonight was closing night, the cast had made all these plans to hang out at Denny's for a little party. So he invited us! Imagine about 40 of the craziest, most hyped-up drama kids you have EVER seen taking up an entire HALF of the resturaunt! :O
It was insane! At first, i admit, i was a little bit shy cuz i didnt really know anyone, and they were all talking about these inside jokes and stuff, but after a while everyone REALLY opened up and got frickin wild! They started playing this dart game thats popular among high school students in the area where you call out someones name and when they look at you, you cup your mouth and pretend to shoot a dart in their neck, and they have to get on the ground and stay there until someone taps them. The trick is when you hear your name called, you hold your neck and THEN look at them, which makes them unable to shoot you. The game is actually pretty hilarious and fun if you can get people to play along, which our whole half of the resturaunt did! haha
Then this dude i just met started mocking me for several minutes, so i challenged him to a wicked staring contest that lasted for like 4 minutes! haha We were both making funny faces at each other and making lame threats like "Bring it on!" At one point near the end my eyes got SO red, but i wouldnt give up, and then the poor guy started actually tearing up, with big drops starting to pour down his face! Finally, he cracked and i shouted "SWEET VICTORY!" for all of Denny's to hear. lol Apparently i earned his respect because moments later, while he was holding his cold cup against his eye, he turned to Richie and said "I like this girl, she's cool." :D
It was a blast, even though almost the entire time they were all talking spanish and junk, which i didnt understand a lot of. lol After an hour or so, Cody and i decided to leave so we could get home at a decent hour. (It was already like 11, and its a 45 minute drive!) We made a quick stop at Mcdonalds cuz both of us only had a few bucks to spend on food, and then finally made our way back home.
Things werent exactly quiet at home, though! Upon arrival, i was greeted promptly with "Hey Christy!! WUZZUUUUUPPPP?!?!" ...from my MOM! lol Apparently, Mom, Dad, and Rick decided to have a few drinks since Mikey and i were out of the house. Dad and Rick seemed to be holding out alright, but Mom was TRASHED! lmao I am dead serious, it was downright hilarious how slurred her speech was and how she could barely manage to keep her eyes half open. She was cussin at me a little bit and talkin trash; it was great. Oh, and i havent even gotten to the best part: My Grandma ALSO decided to join in on the reindeer games, drinking an entire bottle of wine and at least 4 glasses of vodka (those orange and cherry mixed drinks, "twisters" or something)! Keep in mind that this is someone who has drunken ONE time in 20+ years, and that one time she did she was acting CUH-RAZY and couldnt even say a number with a straight face, and was later found puking her guts out all the next day! So just go ahead and guess what happened. If your answer was "She passed out for an hour and a half sitting on the toilet", then you are correct!! lmao
Crazy night indeed!
Stay Nifty! ;)
