By the time we finally motivated to leave the apartment, it was 3am (which is pretty much the best time to start your night in our neighborhood because it's the hour when the invading hordes of visitors call it a night and head home!)
Then it was time for ring shopping! I didn't take many photos of the actual shopping. Except for this one of Leigh throwing up some blue steel with some of the models that were plastered on the wall in one of the stores that we went into.
Leigh's the only human I know who can pull a face like this and still look pretty hot. Like, if her face looked like this ALL the time, I'd still be down. (Just sayin.)
Walking Leigh back to her apartment, we passed this awesome sign for a psychic. Leigh was in the midst of doing an impression of the lady on the sign and saying something and this is the result.
When we got to San Loco and pointed out the buildings across the street, Jenny STILL didn't recognize any of them. So we ended up having to take her giant comedy-keyring and try all the keys in three different doors until we finally unlocked a door! We walked her all the way upstairs and even made sure she got into bed without setting the place on fire or something. Mission accomplished!
A little past 5am we finally got someone on the phone (Sarah maybe?) that didn't know Jenny's exact address, but knew that it was "across the street from San Loco on Stanton." So we mobilized!
At this point, it's close to 5am and Meredith was losing patience. (Well, we all were, but Meredith was the first to snap!). She was like "Jenny, it's 5am and you don't remember where you live! Why don't you come crash at our place?" Jenny refused and explained that she had to be at the apartment at 8am because movers were coming to get all her stuff - she and her boyfriend Josh were taking the big leap and moving in together! Meredith was like "Well if you're not going to come stay with us and you don't know where you live, I am going home!" She wished Leigh and I luck and hailed a cab. Hahahaha.
Jenny has no recollection of this whatsoever! When I first showed her these photos, she was laughing and she asked "What in the world was I eating? What are those, cookies?" I told her, "No, they were chicken nuggets." Jenny groaned really loud and said, "Oh, nooooo! I'm a vegetarian!" Hahahaha.
I also love how the whole time all this nugget-eating is going on, Leigh's calling and texting people in Jenny's phone at 4:40am trying to figure out where her apartment is.
Turns out that these were plates from the buffet at the MSG after party. Jenny had taken a whole bunch of food from the buffet, put it between two glass plates, wrapped it in a napkin and put it in her purse. But the napkin had come undone...
It's after 4am at this point, and in the midst of Leigh and Sarah getting ready to pack up their stuff, Jenny ran into the dj booth and started busting out her cans again!
OMFG. I'm writing this entry after a totally crummy day at work and this photo just instantly made me able to forget my bad day. Hahah. Check out LURKER totally getting his half-hearted party on with the ladies.
A couple minutes later we're up six people (seven if you count THE LURKER in the corner). Check out Jenny Penny popping out a, uhhh, valentine for Marisa. (And is that Paul Hanley in the hoodie?)
Later on that night, they had some kind of art show where they kept projecting huge illustrations of people on the wall. Then, a bunch of people we know started coming up. Like Leigh! Haha. They'd show a drawing of the person...
Hahaha. Piper is the tiniest dog with the biggest tongue you've EVER seen. Seriously, her tongue is so big that when she has her mouth closed her tongue sticks out because it's too big to fit in her mouth! Here are a bunch of pictures of Leigh trying to get a funny picture of Piper's tongue out without actually getting licked by it.
...so that we could lay back and lounge on the sidewalks. The cool, steel embrace of a curbside, overturned grocery cart. It's what's SO HOT right now.
Hahahahaha. OMG. I wasn't at this party, but Leigh emailed me this photo the next day and it's so good that it needed to be posted here. (PS - Leigh, what are you drinking? Is that a giant glass of Scotch??)
Sorry, all you guys out there. If you want to lay your hands on Leigh, you're going to have to get yourself a baggy, splatter-paint-patterned ONSIE. It's the only thing that gets her all hot and bothered.
It's really difficult to ever "throw" Leigh a party because she's always hiding and disappearing (into places like secret backrooms and utility closets), but at 2am Max managed to pin her down to the backroom so that...
Then on Saturday night, there was a party for Leigh's birthday at MisShapes. (I heard she knows the people that throw that party so they hooked it up for her).
I don't remember if there was a reason behind all the tongue sticking out or if we just thought it was funny at the time. (And just for the record, I still think it's funny).
Then it was present time! I gave Leigh her birthday present from Meredith and me (picked out by Meredith cus' she's the best at getting people good gifts) and it was...
