weekend of first times

it was a packed fun-filled weekend full of familiar things (football, brunch at lulu's) but the weekend also brought with it some firsts. have a look-see....

- it was the first time i'd seen john do "should i stay or should i go" at karaoke. he was WAY into it...running through aisles, jumping on chairs, scooting on his knees. he was hard-core and the next day he had rugburns on his knees to prove it.

- it was the first time i'd seen karoake invaded by a horde of heavy metal t-shirt clad, long wig wearing, alternative, bicyclists. words cannot describe the scene that "midnight ridazz" brought with them, but it was amazing. one of the craziest things i have seen in l.a. definitely the most bikes i've seen in l.a. and at an insane ac/dc cover band concert. loved it.

- it was the first time i'd seen fox new show "reunion". it wasn't very good.

- it was the first time i'd seen a picture of me like this.

- it was the first time i'd gone to a going away party for my friend jimtern. oh wait, no it wasn't.

- it was the first time our neighbors fought back in the war of noise. john did his usual stomp as hard as he could on our floor (their ceiling) and 1 minute later our doorbell rang. i've been telling john for months that stomping is not an acceptable form of protest for loud neighbors. sure enough they came up and john and the girls had words. i believed they said that they don't complain when he has all of his football friends over and they yell and scream and roll around on the wheely chairs. oh, and they said something else which leads me to my final point....

- it was the first time i'd heard this - "i don't complain when lisa has her soriority sisters over." umm...what the hell?!! soriority sisters? do i look like i was in a damn soriority!? apparently i must sound like i'm giggling hysterically about clothes with a bunch of high-heel wearing females. i mean, it was just that one oscar show. and the golden globes. but we weren't bound by any greek organization! unless "pq" is a greek letter i don't know about.
