Great Weekend

Tragedy on Prince Avenue aside, I had a pretty sweet time in the ole Athens-town this weekend.

Oh, and aside from the whole feeling sick as a dog from 10PM Friday until 6PM on Saturday thing. That wasn't so fun.

But the semi-formal? That was awesome. I helped with the decorating, which was a fantastically fun time. Lots of lights, tablecloths, and tape.

Then it was time to don the duds! Shiny smooth black dress shirt - check. Black slacks - check. Silver tie - check. Black Redcoat Band marching shoes with white shoestrings - check. If only I'd had a hat.

It was fun watching everyone arrive and interact in their finery. Though I must admit, I was wary. Not a big dance person... and some other thing which shall remain *especially* cryptic.

Took a big group photo - good times, all the smiles and the realization that I have some of the greatest friends a guy could ask for.

Then a delicious dinner - props to my roommate for making some amazing chicken (never cooks that well at home).

Certainly, I wasn't too keen on the dancing at first. Shining social super star that I am. But once one Jennifer Harris basically made me dance (good for her), I was all over that dance floor, with no idea if my dancing was ridiculous or not. I stopped caring. That was a good time. Then the tasty Waffle House. Getting to know some Tech friends.


Downtown rendezvous for the Twilight road race (which I missed all of) and to see a friend briefly. Still dressed in the duds, as I call them. It was warm. The drive home, and some fantastic sleep.


Today? Lunch with said birthday friend. Some work on a paper. VOLLEYBALL!

5 (or 6, I lost track) games. Fun, fun, fun! I even dove once or twice. And then some quiet time.

And lots of awesome online conversation. Plus - we hooked up the n64, and there was GoldenEye.

Yes. GoldenEye.
