Vicariously

Okay. So. Since my last update. Trevor and I ended up not being able to swing the Otakon dinner. I was obscenely upset at first, but then I just came to grips with the fact that shit happens, and there's not shit that can be done about it.

Thursday night, I went to Avalon for my sister's birthday party..... that was fun, but strange to be one of the oldest people at the party. It was nice to get out of the house, put on a dress and some makeup..... leave the house to go do something other than go to the grocery store.

Friday, my mom came and got Lily and I so we could go to her mother-in-law's who was keeping my half-brother (he's 10). Jean (my mom's mother-in-law.... my step-grandmother) just LOOOOOOVES babies, and even baby-haters love Lily, so yeah. We went down there to go swimming and hang out with Wes. It was a nice change of scenery for the day, and I find my brother to be very entertaining. Then, my mom had to return some shoes at Willow Lawn so we did that, and got a soda, and let's just say I should NOT have peeked into Hallmark because what did I see but PILES of the newest webkinz and I WANT THEM. Went home after that. Trevor and I took Lily and had dinner at Ruby Tuesday's and the service sucked. Every time we go out the service just blows ass. Like, maybe we look young and cheap or something... I don't know, but I am DAMN TIRED of getting shitty service. We had to get up and refill our own drinks, for hell's sake! I complained to the manager.... which I hate doing but I waited tables and bartended FOREVER, and I really hate waiting on myself when I go out. I didn't want anything free, and we paid for our food, but I just wanted the server to know the reason he didn't get a tip wasn't because we are cheap and young and poor, but because he was a shitty server that was sitting down watching TV while we were getting our own drinks. Anyway, the manager offered me a job, which is crazy since I was just thinking about doing something a couple of nights a week just to get out of the house, and make a little extra cash while getting a change of scenery. So, like. I rule. I bitched at someone and got a job out of it. Oh, side note though, I bitch in a very professional and calm manner. OHHH. Other side note, Trevor started choking in the middle of dinner and it was the scariest thing ever, I thought he was going to die and I couldn't help him and he wasn't making noise, so no one else could see or tell he was choking and I had to yell for help and then he was okay. That was an obscene run-on sentence, but it was one of the scariest things ever.

Also. Big thumbs down to the judges of America's Best Dance Crew. I guess they felt that if they put Fanny Pak against anyone else in the finale, it just wouldn't be a fair fight. Their routines, particularly the two from the show they got eliminated from were not only creative and entertaining, but always ON POINT. They N-E-V-E-R miss a step, an angle, NOTHING. I mean, SoReal Cru is my favorite, but Fanny Pak was clearly the best crew this season. Welp, I hope SoReal takes it home, but I'm sure SuperCrew will win.

And Mario Lopez will still be as douche-y as ever.

During the Olympics Opening Ceremonies last night (which I have never watched before) there was a hysterical preview for The Office premiering again September 25th. YES. That makes my fall. If I could just get Friday Night Lights back.

Tonight, we are going to my dad's for a poolside food thingie deal. He has some friend in from London so that outta be entertaining. If something wild happens, I will totally talk about it later ;)
