hammock party

I'm in class right now. Learning how to write a resume for probably the 100th time in my life. Stupid journalism requirement. At least they have computers in the class room!

So this past week started off with a bang! After Lauren and I both had bad days on Monday we decided we should have wine while we watched the bachelorette. Speaking of the bachelorette let me give a shout-out to Kiptyn, who definitely reads my blog. I would like to personally thank you for showing girls everywhere what a man's body should look like. It's hard to remember since apparently in college then not working out and having a beer gut is cool/fratastic. While pretty much every girl I know has a rockin bod. So thanks again to your eight-pack Kiptyn. Anyways, wine and bachelorette seems harmless, right? Wrong. We moved our two person party outside to my hammock and 3 bottles of wine later we were wildly drunk in our PJs on my porch.

I guess we were talking pretty loud because who happens to walk up and join our party none other than my brother. Why my brother always seems to be there when I'm super drunk I do not know. What I do know is that he likes to tell on me to my parents. So I definitely made empty threats that went something like this:

Kevin - "What are y'all doing?"
Me- "Obviously having a hammock party!"
Kevin- "Y'all are ridiculous..."
Me- "If you tell mom and dad I'm gonna tell them you smoke pot!"
Kevin- "But I don't smoke and you do have a drinking problem"

Ouch. Somehow despite my behavior I convinced Kevin to go to the Exxon with me and get my favorite snacks. I woke up the next morning with all my lights on and sleeping next to my "deactivated" iPhone and Exxon bag full of my favorite snacks (obviously thinking ahead in my drunken state). Apparently somehow in the night I had deactivated my phone and changed the language to Chinese. Deactivating my phone also meant that my alarm didn't go off. So I was almost late to my presentation. Don't worry though I preform well under pressure and apparently when I'm still a little tipsy because I get an A! The only plus to the deactivation was that it prevented me from any embarrassing texts which would have been very interesting in Chinese.
I took it easy the rest of the week and then attended a different kind of party on Saturday - an engagement party! I would say this party was a little more socially acceptable than the hammock party. Funny how I'm friends with people who are engaged and moving forward and I'm still in Waco reeking havoc from my porch. Also, seems very un-fair when Courtney, the bride to be, definitely had a part in my corruption and used to reek havoc with me. Now I'm abandoned and a bridesmaid in her mature wedding. It was very fun to see people I hadn't seen in a while and go to Austin. I actually was very well behaved on 6th street. Normally when I return from Austin I come back with my life in shambles and Austin wins. I'm proud to say that it did not happen this time. The scoreboard now reads Austin-103 Tedi-1
I'll be returning to Austin next Saturday for my little Sarah's 21st birthday party! So we'll see if I win again. I would like to conclude by giving Sarah, one of my only loyal readers, a Happy Birthday shout-out! Love you!
