Hahaha. Oh man, this photo makes me laugh out loud. Two years have passed since I took this pic. Lisa and Pauly broke up almost a year ago! Pauly moved back to Canada last week and we never see Lisa anymore. Good times, you guys. Miss you!)
It was afterhours at this point, but since it was a real quiet night, the bartender told us we could hang for a bit and he locked the place up. This guy was the only other place in the bar so we agreed to play some Big Buck together.
The door had one of the those locks that requires a key from the inside. After we finished our game, we woke Pauly up and tried to leave, but the bartender totally misplaced his keys and we were all stuck inside 15 minutes until he found them. Pauly just wanted to get into bed.
On Saturday night we had some people over our apartment for my birthday. Lawrence was the first to arrive at midnight (he was all dressed up because he had to be at work at 3am!).
This is the very last photo of me at my own birthday party! Right after this photo was taken, I made the mistake of having ANOTHER drink and smoking MORE pot and the room started spinning 'round like the blades of a helicopter. Instead of making a big deal about how sick I was feeling, I just grabbed Meredith and quietly told her "I'm gonna go take a couple of laps" and sneaked out of the party to wander the manicured gardens of Stuytown until I felt better.
It ended up taking me well-over an hour of walking around outside for the spins to subside. Despite my party foul, I'd successfully "walked it off" (Thanks, for the life-advice Mr. Orlando!), but by the time I made it back to the the party...
...everyone had left! People noticed that I was missing about ten minutes after I'd disappeared. After more than an hour passed, everyone figured I wouldn't be coming home any time soon and took off. Hahaha. Thanks for coming over everyone! Sorry I missed the end!
