What A Weekend

This past weekend, I went back to my home town for the local university's annual homecoming event. I have to be honest at first I was hesitant to even go because I usually don't have that much fun. All we do is hang around the house and watch t.v. while everyone else is out shaking their bom-boms. But this time it was totally different. I hung out with one of my play cousins ::Leah:: ((I call her a play cousin because we've been friends since forever first started and I know basically all of her family ... so that makes us family)), and I had a blast!! I figured out that I'm the jinx when it comes to going out though, because we could never find a place to go, but by the end of the trip I think that the hex was broken, because we got in somewhere for free. Yay us!!

From the Jump

My first few minutes of the car when we arrived I got sooooo many hollas. It left me kind of confused because I was like I come home for 5 minutes and get 4 numbers, but when I'm at the crib I can't even get ::Grayson:: to acknowledge my presence. Hummmm. Needless to say I was feeling real good. That pumped my ego up two notches. That's not even it though, how about they all lived in L-town, but all wanted to kick it with me to the point of them driving down just to see me for a couple of hours. The dudes up here a nothing like that. Maybe that's why I'm single. I chopped it up with each of them for a few hours, until I got in touch with ::Leah::. Once we finally met up, we went out on the town. Now like I said earlier I was the jinx. We got into one party and it was garbage, but I had already had a few splashes of that happy juice so I was very cool. I made my own fun, and as lame as this may seem, I really liked just riding around looking at all of the hooked up old schools, because they really don't do it like that where I live now. I skirted and flirted with a few dudes and that was the end of day one.

Parading Around

The next morning was the day of the parade. ::Leah:: didn't accompany me to the parade, and to be honest that was cool, because if she had I know fa' sho' that I wouldn't have ran into my ex ::George::. Let me set it up for yall, I was just walking around at the parade because I never really much cared for them to begin with. A couple of dudes did the usual hand grab or swooped their arm around my waist as I looked for my sister, and I didn't think too much of it. I was polite, but didn't exchange contact info. So I'm eyeing this tall, bright like a light, sexy, specimen of a man when I realize 'Oh snizzle fizzle!! That's ::George::!!' He was looking so right, I had to say something. I walked up behind him and whispered in ear "You are sexy as hell". He turned around, saw it was me, and was mine for the rest of the parade. Now keep in mind that I did say ex so there was a reason why we didn't work out, but he was so fine, I couldn't remember what that reason was.

Let the Game Begin

After I left the parade it was time to hit up the football game. Now I'm going to be real ... I don't know the first thing about football, and I don't really care. But there I was walking around trying to be seen. Taking pictures. Looking lost. <- I went into the game with ::John:: but somewhere around the second quarter, I lost him. I looked up and he was gone. Buster left me high and dry. I didn't really enjoy the game, and half time was average. I could have saved my $15, and used it for something else. The only plus was that I saw a few old friends.

Y- Not?

After surviving the game, it was once again time for me and ::Leah:: to hit the streets. The first party that we hit up was packed to the max. It was so full that the local sheriffs had to come and make sure that they didn't let anymore people in and break the fire hazard codes. We really wanted to get into that party. Luckily we had a Plan B. Y-Nots. At first we had passed on going there because they were charging $20 a head, but when we went back the second time, they let us in for free. That made the night all worth while. I had fun once again.

Can I Come Over

Sunday was pretty straight. I hit up L-town with the family {{which always consist of us going to Lane Byrant and Golden Corral}} and then headed back to the house for a quick nap around 9p.m. Around 10 p.m. I still hadn't been able to get in touch with ::Leah:: so I hit up all of the people that I hadn't seen and made it a priority to see them before I left on Monday. I was over my homie :: Donna's:: house and this guy she knows named ::Marcus:: invited her over. The only problem was that it was about 1:30 in the morning. We're all grown ... we knew what time it was. Or at least I knew. She agreed and told him that she was bringing me and at first it wasn't a problem, but after about 10 minutes he called and said that he forgot the he had to go to work at 5a.m. and tried to reshedule. The only thing was that we were already outside. So we go in and the only person really talking him, and occasionally me. I think ok, he is cute and he seems cool. If he tries to holla, I'll give him the digits. Before, I could get a mikey, fikey word in when it was time to go ::Donna:: volunteers that ::Beautiful:: is leaving in the morning and doesn't come home much. Where in the hell did that come from? My homie threw salt in my sugar. Dang!!

Over and Out

Around noon, we headed back and I made it to the crib in record time. Home sweet Home. Yeah I missed it and am so glad to be back.
