I survived! - Smurfest ‘05

Posted in at 6:49 pm by queent

Ok ok…I know ya’ll are like what the hell is Smurfest?!

Twin, being the hostest that she is, is launching the first annual(wonder who’s gonna catch that…hmmm) Smurfest - the pre-Memorial Day, blue themed cookout at her new home. I have been looking forward to this all month, as this kicks off the summer, its a holiday weekend and I officially switch from full time Mommy/part time HotPants to fulltime HotPants/part time Mommy.

Looking back, I wasn’t really ready for Smurfest’s drink of choice - BlueJuice. Oh boy!!! Thankfully I didn’t pul a Notorious M.I.A. move, but I did end up knocked out in Twin’s bed. I have realized that things that would normally make absolutely no sense sober make perfect sense when you are drunk…such as climbing under the blanket, pulling it all the way over my head and thinking that if someone looked in her room for me, they wouldn’t see me ’cause I had the blanket pulled all the way up. Yeah…gotta put down that 5th cup of BlueJuice next time…LOL

Anyway, I love my friends…and I guess their friends too, cause Smurfest was just the bomb (yeah I know that expression is hella old, but I haven’t replaced it with anything yet…am open to suggestions) The crew was their regular crazy-ass selves as always. I did miss those that weren’t there-you know who you are;) I was happy to see people that I hadn’t seen in quite some time. And those that I missed altogether, sorry ya’ll…but no one told you to show up so late…hmmph. Most importantly, I am so happy that Twin’s Smurfest was all that she wanted it to be!

Quick shouts to:

• Furious for playing grill man all night…you know we appreciate ya.
• Notorious M.I.A. for sharing a story that you can only share with those you don’t mind laughing at ya…and will still love ya for it…LOL.
• Chartruse for falling into the fold and being just as loud and silly as the rest of us.
• Peanut for coming out of hiding…PEANUT!!!!! and bringing the girls, they are adorable
• Twin’s cuz for NOT wearing blue…shame on you…lol
• S.Dot for keeping the kids entertained…like I been saying it’s all love sweetie, hope ya doing well.
• The really pregnant girl for letting me rub her belly (ya’ll KNOW I couldn’t help it!)
• Mic for showing her face too…what’s up girl!!!
• Last, but neva eva least…Twin just for playing the hostest with the mostest even drunk!!!

If I didn’t mention you, it’s either cause I was too drunk to remember your names, or how silly we were or I wanna make a comment about you that just could be a lil bit much…LOL

Smurfest ‘05 was the best kick off the summer possible. ATL, ya’ll better watch out!!!

**Can’t wait to see the pics…lol***

Must be somethin’ in the water

Posted in at 9:31 pm by queent

The new rage in Atlanta seems to be for two people to meet, seem to be very compatible, become emotionally attached to each other, and yet leave their relationship open or “undefined” as to still be able to do as they please with whomever. For some people this type of relationship works. However, those are usually people who have mutually agreed to this.

The problem I am seeing repeatedly is that one person in the situation blindly; meaning She is only seeing He, She is emotionally attached, and She is under the impression that He is in this to see where things could go. As things do indeed go well He and She will become Us, and no one else will be betwixt that. He,. on the other hand, is developing an emotional attachment, and while His and Her actions are exact to those of two people in a committed relationship, they are not “committed verbally” and therefore allows Him to be free to do as he chooses with whomever.

Now, I will state for the record: He is right. He is free to do as he pleases. They are NOT committed. But, by not ensuring that She is aware of the “openness” and not letting her know that he is not intending on making a commitment down the road, despite the two being compatible, he leaves the door wide open to break her heart, tear her down, and make her less open to the next relationship.

My question really is this: If you meet someone that it seems like you could be good with and for and all that other mushy stuff, why would you want to continue to date other people? Why wouldn’t you want to really see where things could go? Why would you continue to string along someone that you know would like to be in a relationship, when you know those aren’t you intentions?

As I can’t begin to answer that myself, I’m just gonna leave that just like that…wide open. If anyone has the beginnings of an answer, please see me immediately. As “not just the president of the club, but also a member”, I’m gonna speak on behalf of all of us when I say this, “you people are gonna mess around and destroy the hearts of many others; and when the time comes that you are indeed ready to settle down, you are gonna have to deal with the emotional baggage that another person has created by doing the exact same thing you did to another person” . Whatever that special ingredient is in that water is gonna get ya’ll messed up one of these days. Hopefully, ya’ll wise up before that day comes.

Nerdy vs Girly: Star Wars Episode III

Posted in at 9:41 am by queent

Most people wouldn’t know it by my outside appearance, but I have some nerd-tendancies from time to time. Besides being technical(well to a degree anyway), I am into sci-fi a little more than the average girly-girl. I may not know all the history, but I know a enough to carry on a decent conversation about it…lol So the girly nerd went to see Star Wars Episode III this past weekend. OMG!!! I am still speechless 2 days later. This movie really blew me away. The cinematography, the action, the characters, the story, everything was great. Even if you hadn’t seen the foirst 2, you could still enjoy this one. But I found myself in conflict. The nerdy and the girly were watching ther movie with 2 different sets of eyes.

Girly vs Nerdy thoughts:

• Anakin is a cutie!
• Padme’s love was just not enough to keep Anakin from turning to the Dark Side.
• Had Anakin not gone over to the Dark Side, i think Pademe would have lived through child birth.
• The lightsaber fight scenes were just plain and simple: Outstanding!
• Just how old is Chewbacca?
• Yoda is the Man!

There is a lot more, but I really don’t want to give the story away. But you must see this movie, it is awesome and for the not so diehard fans, it rounds the story out and give closure. I know the true Star Wars fans would disagree, though.

***Oh yeah, I have to make mention that Wars of the Worlds is coming out this summer and Chonicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe is coming out in December. I sooo can’t wait!***
