osarabaSaturday night was pretty cool -- went to Staten Island with Maryann because Victor was having a barbecue/party out on his deck. His pool was open, although I didn't know beforehand so I didn't bring a swimsuit (or shorts & a tank, or whatever), which was too bad. =( Next time I just might bring something, dunno what, but I'll figure something out. But even besides that, it was a lot of fun. Pat (Eric's friend who was at Hidden Shadows two weeks ago) was there again, with his girlfriend -- and wow, that guy can mix pretty darn good drinks! ^^ I had some yummy concoction of flavored rum, cranberry and orange juices, and lemon juice. And Victor can mix a good gin martini. ^^
We got there around 10:30pm, and Maryann went into the pool pretty quickly. ^^ Charlotte Ann was there, who's just so sweet; she's really nice and fun to talk to ~ I always like it when she's hanging out with Victor & Co. Justin was not to be found, which was disappointing. Joe was around, but he was in a really odd mood, and always disappearing with Vince(?); we found out later that Joe's now living at Victor's house 'cause he got kicked out for some reason or other... ::wince:: Joe's not the most stable-minded of people.
Chris and Carrie were there, of course. Carrie's so funny, she got drunk after one of Pat's drinks and she was acting really adorably silly. Eric was there -- he's really cool, too. He's a little flamboyant. I don't mean in an effeminate way (he's not gay nor effeminate), but he likes to be somewhat theatrical. But he's definitely not dramatic (and stupid) like Victor gets sometimes. He's really into Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, which is why he knew Jabberwocky by heart. And we had a short conversation about it and all the different movie versions and stuff; he's actually really cool ~ and it's really easy for me to feel comfortable around him, so I like hanging out with him. ^^
Anyway, we hung out and talked, most people took a dip... It thinned out a little after midnight. Then Chris and Carrie crashed in the living room until later. I eventually had a yummy grilled hotdog around 1:30 or so. And we finally left around 3:15. It was nice, though. I enjoy Victor's BBQ parties.
Of course, the next day I still had to get up to go to work.
Spent the day at the store (from 11am), but left a little early to go downtown to meet Maryann and some of her friends from the Bronx (Elise, Nancy), along with Lee & Zoila, at Washington Square Park. Victor joined us. It was funny finally meeting Nancy, I kind of feel like I know her 'cause Maryann has told me some about her; she's also really nice and cool to talk to. She's soooo~ petite! I think, shorter than Katie (4'11") and thin.
After sitting around for close to an hour, we ended up walking west, toward the pier. Walking through the West Village after the parade was pretty. So much rainbow stuff all over~ was pretty. I wish I'd known I was going to go, though -- I could've worn a tanktop or something a little cooler than a buttondown shirt & a (pretty) tie. ^^; Speaking of ties, I wish someone would make a rainbow tie. I'd prefer that over a T-shirt or flag or similar (I got a rainbow cloth backpack-type thing). I would have enjoyed it more if we'd actually had a destination or purpose, but we walked so much for nothing... and I had asked Maryann earlier if we could stop to get something small to eat, but then we didn't, so I didn't eat anything from 1pm to 11:30pm. =(
In conclusion, a long and busy and not-restful weekend. ::sigh:: I have a feeling this is going to be a long week.

Heh heh

Re: Heh heh
Date: 2005-07-01 01:09 pm (UTC)I know that Maryann knew about the pool, so either she forgot to mention it to me, or she did mention it and I just forgot. ^_~ No big deal anyway, I still had lots of fun. (It doesn't even have to be a BBQ thingie for me to have fun at your house, why else do we make the big schlep over to SI, hmmm?)
