Good Friday.
I awoke Friday morning to the news that my uncle (he same one who's always sick) is sick again. Mom wanted to go to church, so I agreed that I'd go with her, trying to gain some karma points and all you see. So I'm there being all "good" that day you know. Listening to mah music, not getting online, being boredish. I end up chilling with my music a while, then suddenly - poof. My computer shut off. I look around. Power dip? But there is UPS - that should not happen , and furthermore there was no dip. *click click* Turning compy back on did not work. Checking cables and such. Notice that top of tower is way way hot. Not good. Comp still not turning on. Fear strikes. Call Nigel. "Nigel HELP!!!!!!" "That sounds like the power supply ...etc" Then I call Stace to pour out my misery. She suggested unplugging it and plugging it back in. Me so very doubtful decided okay ... let's just leave it for now.

I resigned myself to being computerless for a while and decided to clean the desk and cover the top with a new top. After I had finished I said hum let me try this Stace thing. It worked! Sheesh.
I don't know what that was supposed to mean. That boy told me that the moral is "Don't go to church". Great. Just fantastic!

Was supposed to finish clean out but got distracted with church and stuff. Was in no mood to clean after church.
Did not feel guilty that almost fell asleep during the sermon because mom almost did too. Phew. Also did not burst into flame but the computer thing made up for it I suppose.

Glorious Saturday
Not quite sure where the morning went, but I know I awoke at some point and had breakfast/lunch I believe. I had to hop in between organising for the beach lime and the Saturday night lime. *sigh* Got to the grocery with Jus and the rest of the gang who were to be at the lime on Sunday. We got our groceries amidst much shit talk. Goddamn groceries are expensive. Got home and heard some Juan Luis Guerra pounding out at my neighbour's. They were having an Easter tea party and were winding down, so I decided to go across to check the scene. Mom was there chilling and such - tons of kids etc. Cutey boy was spotted about 5 minutes into the whole thing. *grin*

Your girl wasted no time. Opportunity struck when we suddenly ended up alone outside the house just standing there talking. *more grinning* Tad short for my liking but HEY not complaining. Was talkable unlike many others encountered who are just so utterly lame.*sigh* Did not get number/was not asked. I stuck :( Alas was sort of rush departure on his part, and uhm did not want to come on way too strong. Eep. Think was already slightly intimidating. Not sure. Yikes. On the other hand he lives with neighbour's friends so yay? Humho.

This Venezuelan Latin band was to play at the Casino, so mom and dad were supposed to go. Had invited Stace, Ria and whoever else along. No one else could really make it at that point I think. Then Mom decided she didn't want to go because it was too late. I finally persuaded them though. Band didn't play till nearly 1 am but that's okay hehehe. It ened up being just me and the girls chilling. Sitting by the bar having our little t�te-�-t�te, these 3 bartenders come up to us and ask what we're drinking. "Nothing thanks" "No really what are you drinking?" At this point we looked to each other for eye contact assent. Stace, being the wino spoke up first with her Malibu, then I with same request and Ri wanted a Screwdriver. Hehe and we got it too. Hum guess the drinking would start from then.

Mom was mean and said they felt sorry for us sitting there by the bar looking like freeloaders. Dad was logical and said that they give away drinks to certain people. We just decided that we looked too damn hot.

Bleh I say. Got home at ungodly hour and jumped into bed because it was going to be an early morning and a longass day/night ahead.


Sunday - Easter Sunday
These adventures. Just hilarious really. Mostly always with Gosine. I dragged myself out of bed at oh 8 am (oh the horror) and started preparing to get going because the plan was to leave around 10 am in order to beat the traffic. The Garvin calls and says no we're good to go, so I start rushing around thinking everyone is waiting. When I get by Gosine he's in the bathroom, Miche isn't coming and it's 9:30. Goddamn. Did not leave till 10:30 or later. Sheesh.

Vroom vroom. So there's John and Christopher in John's jeep, me Jus, Garvin and Kimberly in our car. There was much traffic so they decided to be smart and take a back road. This back road was a dirt track - very gravelly an dusty. Then the games started. I dunno what's up with males and competition. Anyways, John's there zooming around making all kinds of fancy turns, stopping, leaving us in a trail of dust etc. Then we witnessed one of the funniest things. He got a skid on the gravel and turned straight into a ditch and knocked over a light pole. It was like something out of a cartoon. You saw the jeep running into the bush at the side of the road and the lightpole hanging over. Apparently it was fucked really good and only the wires are holding it up. Eek.
Those bitches are lucky we got a lot of help to get it out because the 4 boys weren't getting much of anywhere alone. One guy in a huge truck thing pulled up and was trying really hard, then eventually a pick up with about 5 or 6 guys pulled up. One of them took a gulp of rum or whatever before attempting to move the jeep. Cripes. A comedy I tell you. And the funny thing is that that happened JUST as we were about to hit the main road again. There was Police right right right there. Whoa.

I believe we got to the house without much incident after that.

"I am functionally drunk" uttered, by the iridescent one. I was NOT functionally drunk of course. Far from it. Totally dysfunctional really. Shut up.
So as soon as we half settled in the card-playing began. It involved 6 rather sober individuals, a pack of cards and a bottle of white rum. That bottle finished so fast and Kim wasn't drinking. Remind me never to drink that shit again. Blech. Had 3 shots after you know - losing, and I was way gone. Face red, body red. I eventually stumbled to the beach and fell asleep there a bit. Not sure how long but I believe I was very incoherent. At least had time to look around a little. Nothing on beach!!! 0 eye candy.
Almost everyone capped by about 10:30 and I just had to sleep. Had been falling asleep all day, but this time everyone was going and the door was being locked.

Monday
Somehow our room (Jus Christopher et moi) woke up around 4:30 am (gasp) and we went for a walk on the beach by moonlight. Real pretty out there and with the oil well down Guayaguyare burning it's just gorgeous. Plus the sound of the waves. We got back and they jumped back into bed. I couldn't sleep, so evntually I just went outside to chill with the breeze and the sunrise. I would have gone out to the beach to witness the sunrise alone, but didn't want to jump back over the fence (gate was locked and did not have key) and have no company.
Eventually I spotted someone awake downstairs (another family) so one of the guys opened the gate for me and I went for a walk and swim.
I had to stay where there were people. Man it felt good. Wish there could have been people to share it with.

Nope no tan - I just managed to brush up on the existing one (yes!! I have one!) a little bit. Good day overall and no I am very sober. It was a lot of water and juice after that whole white rum thing. Gawd.

So it was good. Wish it could have been longer though, but that's okay I am sure there are beach limes to come. Back to the grind. I have a good bit of work to do. I would like to sleep though.
