Anyway, if you couldn't tell, I picked up a job (part time of course, less commitment) with Arcadia Farms at the AZ Science Center. I've worked there before and as anyone here in AZ knows I also do catering with the company when they actually have them, which for some reason has not been happening lately. Did people stop hiring caterers because of the economy or something? Who knows, at least I have this now.
I must say it's definitely a fun place to work, the people are nice, and even my boss calls me Guapo (for those of you not fluent en Espanol that means handsome) and lets face it, I am always down to be complimented. I guess that's just one way I am kind of a chick, no offense but hey at least I admit it.
Besides the fact that my head is constantly enlarged there, and nothing sexual is meant by that, it is also nice because A) The pay is nice for the job that it is, B) I never work more than 5 hours a day and usually it is only between 11 and 4, so I am never afraid to go out the night before work and C) I get to work with a number of friends because a chunk of them have worked there or at another Arcadia Farms establishment for awhile. Needless to say, it's not a bad gig for a summer (and probably most of school year) job.
Off the work subject, let me try and reminisce about the week that has just passed. My memory feels like it isn't too great, which kind of sucks considering I am only 21, but I still manage to remember most points after a little concentration, which I have been doing while typing this filler sentence, so thanks for sticking around. OH! Okay it's coming back to me...first things first...
As I mentioned in the last post, Christina, my lovely GF, and a bunch of our other lady friends went to Vegas Monday-Wednesday of last week to celebrate Lindsey finally turning 21, which was nice since she was pretty much the last one. Since I wasn't there, I will just go with what they told me and say they had a great time, I believe this to be true because how can you not have a great time when you are staying in a suite at the Palms on the birthday girl's dad with a bunch of friends, it would be a crime to say you had anything less than a blast. And for the record I still have not made my first post 21 Vegas trip EVEN THOUGH I have been 21 for longer than all of the girls that went!! Ok that's all the venting I needed, plus the guys and myself are trying to get together a couple guys' nights in Vegas ourselves since we have for the most part all not been there yet, so I will keep you all posted on that. Onto news bit number 2...
I am excited to say that last week my mom also put an offer down on a condo for me to live in once I graduate and head out to Los Angeles!! The place is really nice and is literally a mile away from the Staples Center downtown and 10-15 from all the other places anyone would really want to visit in the LA area on any given day, be it Beverly Hills, Hollywood, or the beach. I am super excited about it but nothing is for certain on whether or not we will get it, but again I will keep you guys posted and put up some pics if we end up getting it.
Bit 3 has to do with bit 1 so sorry that I digressed for a moment to my living situation for next year. Anyways, once the ladies got back from Vegas it was time to acquaint little Lindsey for what will be her home turf bars for at last the next year, thats right people, the ones on Mill Ave. It's always nice to head there for someone's birthday because you know they are bound to get wasted and do fun stuff, and as the people who were there that fateful night already know, Lindsey was not an exception.
We started the night off at Cue with the plan on only hitting Big Bang after the fact because as everyone who has turned 21 in our group knows (with a few exceptions), most people don't make it much later than 1230 or so, and thats if you go on your birthday eve mind you. For the record, I lasted 28 Minutes, 26 of which I spent in the bathroom of the bar dry heaving what I drank for the pregame. Since Lindsey was already 21 and we went out around 930, I would have been shocked if she lasted til 12, and she didn't.
Back at Cue, we were all enjoying some Long Islands and Sweet Tea Vodkas. The Long Island is Cue Club's specialty, 3 dollars every night for a Long Island that is sure to hit you hard, and the same went for the Sweet Tea Vodka's which were on special as they are for half the week at 3 dollars as well. The guys were playing pool and continuing to drink as the girls drank at the bar, and then something magical happened....
Everyone who was there knows, again, what I am going to say next, but I feel that the suspense is equal for everyone reading this, but what happened next has been a hope of mine and a few other people for a long time now, and I believe Brazda actually owes Mannix 50 dollars for this occurrence as well, so we'll see how that goes. Anyways what I am speaking of is the coming together of our self titled twosome known as "Mancock." I love that name, and it refers to my aforementioned roommate (haaaaveeee you met) Mannix and Christina's roommate (also the Bday girl) Lindsey. They finally made out, and although she doesn't remember it, we all do, and at the end of the day folks isn't that all that matters?? Yes I know that may have been inconclusive to many of you but frankly within our circle it was a pretty sweet thing to watch, and we have photo and video proof.
After that the night kept winding and we all kept getting drunker and reminisced about the kiss that happened 20 minutes prior in the same evening. Finally it was time to leave because we noticed the bouncer suspiciously eyeing Lindsey, and that got us noticing that she really was looking awfully schnockered (read: Drunk) at this point and we figured if we were even going to have the chance of getting into our local favorite (the Big Bang) we were going to have to get there fast.
With much haste our group reassembled within the bar and we quickly headed down the street to the Big Bang, giving Lindsey the pointers as we walked..."Don't act drunk", "Walk straight", "Stand up", and other things which in retrospect probably weren't too helpful because we were all drunk to. Somehow though to my astonishment, we were all let in. Maybe it was because Lindsey said to the bouncer upon entry "It's my birthdayyyyyy!!!!" and I think also something about being sober but I sure don't remember, either way he let us in.
Long story short (although the story has already exceeded long story short length) we were in Big Bang for roughly 21 minutes before Lindsey needed to leave because she couldn't even stand up straight. Konrad was nice enough to carry her up the stairs to a cab (I say up the stairs because the bar is underground) where I proceeded to help her sit upright and ask her to warn me if she needed to puke, way too many stories have ended with our friends puking in cabs and us hearing the horror surrounding that shenanigan. Needless to say we were highly successful and when she did decide she needed to puke, I was able to lift her out of the cab so the projectile was successfully only spread on the cab door. It still sucked because I gave the driver 23 dollars on a 9 dollar fair, but you win some you lose some right? And she had a good time, before that happened of course.
Ok since this post is already my longest one...I think...I am going to stop there for now and pick it up tomorrow so I can make it a separate post because I commend you already if you have stuck with me for this long, and I am more than happy to continue sharing with you. So keep checking and I will continue on with my week soon!!
