so yesterday, and i were dozing on the couch at my parents house, waiting for the laundry to dry so we could get the hell out of there. i had a pile of groceries on the coffee table that i was planning to steal (including a 1989 merlot from israel), and a pile of dirty dishes in the sink.
and who comes walking through the door?
darth mater. a.k.a, mommy dearest.
"uhhhh...i thought you were gone all weekend."
"don't you remember, i said we'd be back saturday night."
(fuck, i smoke too much.)
my mother is a very strange, infuriating, complicated woman, and we have a tumultuous relationship. it's gotten better since i moved out, but it's still wierd at times. and she just plain dislikes gonzo, no matter how hard i've tried over the past three years to change her mind. she always gets real cranky if she sees us being affectionate, and she wasn't happy about the merlot, so it was a really awkward 40 minutes until the dryer stopped.
but to be fair, she let me take a different bottle of red, and didn't complain about us using the laundry room.
afterwards, we went to a restaurant in the area that we'd both worked at up until about a year ago. since then, the place closed, remodeled, and reopened under a different name. it was ridiculous, this blue collar burger joint with no pretenses and a great crowd totally turned into a yuppie haven, even the bartender had a tie on. it was too depressing to stick around for too long.
so we met up with mobilman75, played some mariocart, and went out to this bar in the area that i've never been to before. it's sort of a rock/metal type place, with cheap pabst and lots of girls in the requisite black eyeliner, studded belt, miniskirt from hot topic, and knee high black boots. oh, and dudes with tattoos and chain wallets and that 90's "ponytail with the underneath shaved" look that makes you look like a waterfowl.
oddly enough, it being a bottom of the list bar to go to, i had a really good time. i ran into a group of guys who went to my high school, and another friend of mine who was also very close with angela (my best friend in high school who passed away in october). it was wierd, while i was sitting there talking to him, i had a thought that i couldn't wait to tell angela about how different he looked (he's gained a lot of weight in the last 10 years). but of course, she's gone so i can't tell her. that happens a lot! but i know that she knows what i have to say to her, even if she's not around for me to say it out loud. so that's comforting.
anyway, i know i promised pictures, but something made me feel dirty using my parents computer to resize everything. (i didn't even log onto sg while i was there, as my mother has a habit of looking up browser history and reading all my online stuff.) so i'll get to that soon!
probably not tonight though, as i'm going to my HOT co-workers going away party.
all my coworkers are anxious to meet gonzo, and i think it'll be a hot time.
