GNO was Friday, and sometime Saturday morning I threw my neck out so that I couldn’t do much of anything but lie around and drink Riverboat Red wine. (It won awards! If I like it, how could it have won awards?)
I was drinking Saturday at 10 am to reward myself for being a good designated driver. I had a wonderful time at GNO. It appears I can suppress my inhibitions sufficiently all by myself. Well, almost – when Marcia kissed me I blurted “No!” and clamped my lips shut.
Everyone was there – all the old Elliot gang and the new TeddyJ crowd who work with The Even -Numbered Friends. At one point someone told the new women that I had been naked on a cruise with BNL. I was expecting “Naked!”, but instead…
New TeddyJ person 1 swooned, “Barenaked Ladies? I love them!”
“Oh, I love them too,” said new TeddyJ person 2, “I’ve seen them in concert. There were great!”
“OLD FRIENDS” I announced to the assemblage, and everyone quieted, “I HAVE NEW FRIENDS NOW. I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH YOU. MY NEW FRIENDS LIKE BARENAKED LADIES.”
“Oh, we suck,” all my old friends agreed.
“Who is the one with the glasses?” New Friend 1 asked.
“Steeeeeeeeveeeen” I sighed.
“He is sooooo beautiful. He has such a sweet face. And he sings – ”
“- Like an annnnngel.” I finished. Then we made out. (No.) Then my right hand throttled her in a fit of jealousy. (No.) Then we discussed New Friend 2’s favorite song, “Tonight Is the Night I Fell Asleep at the Wheel,” and new Friend 1’s favorite “In The Car,” and the cruise.
The rest of the night was fun but in contrast uneventful. The most exciting part was the big group scream of excitement while we were playing Rock Band. “EEEAAAAAAAY! YEAH! FUCK YEah! We ROCK!” Goats were Thrown. Fives were Highed.
We had just gotten it to work.
There was more screaming later when we completed out first song, but not as wildly heartfelt.

Yeah, I kept waiting for the make out sessions. hehe Happy to see Friend #3 got some revenge.Seriously tho, way to go on inviting over new hotties as well as the ole hotties. Although I didn’t get much time to talk with hottie #1.But I refuse to complain about “too many hotties”.
Fantastic party! Thanks Hot Mom! Super awesome new crib. So badly want to play rock band again, that was SO fun. PS..what was the name of that last bottle of red wine we opened? That was yum and would like to have more.Queen, how’s your neck today?
WE ROCK!!! How did you like your first exposure to Bon Jovi, courtesy of a bunch of screaming, drunk karaoke singers?The new folks thought well of all of the old folks. In fact, the bride went on and on about how much fun she had and how she wished she could’ve stayed longer.
#0.75 – You didn’t even get up close to bridal hottie like I did.#1 – You know, you can email Hot Mom directly.Caroline – Hey guess what – today Arla-Kay said, “Oh, I LOVE Barenaked Ladies! Do you know they have a cruise?” Then “Have you ever heard of Guster?” Much squealing ensued.
I’m happy for you, but who’s Arla-Kay?
Friend #1 – I believe it was called Riverboat Red and The Queen even put a review link on the main page. Queen: I got to talk to bridal hottie before you got there so :P. Then she thought she was taller than me and we had to break up.
Caroline – SIGH. Karla! You need this.http://users.snowcrest.net/donnelly/piglatin.html(I don ‘t know what this “Way” dialect is, I say “-ay.”)#.75 – I am having some RR right now!
Hey, I’m going to see BNL in concert this month. Does that mean we can be friends? 😀
*double sigh and eye roll* I got that it was Karla. I’m not that Pig-Latin-deficient. Who the hell is Karla?
Velocibadgergirl – of course! We must email.Caroline – Arla-kay Amson-Say. Look her up. She sits by Arcia-May.
