We had Michelle's going away party tonight. Singing, dancing, drinking and inappropriate touching occurred. And I'll tell ya, those bakery personnel are getting sloppy with their cake penmanship.

I had a lovely day hanging out at my Gram's house today! I never get to join in Saturday lunch with my Gram, Aunt Marie and my mum since I always work, but since I lied my way to getting time off, I was able to partake in the festivities! We had this amazing bow-tie pasta with shrimp in a wine sauce that my aunt made and I really wish we had leftovers to take home afterward. We ate it all. Mum and I stopped at Montillio's on the way to pick up dessert, strawberry cheesecake. Mmm! So good. Later, I picked up Megan and Alex and dined at Chili's. We drove to Target for like, a minute, and then back to Al's where we watched Project Runway and Harry Potter. I'll probably update the photo blog tomorrow. I've been really lazy lately.

It was a plaza type of night tonight, where we spent most of our time window-shopping in all of the stores. I bought an environmentally friendly, 100% recycled Wall-E grocery bag from the Disney store for $2.50. So that was awesome and it's very cute.

I feel like an honorary member of the Starbucks crew when I tag along with all of them to various locations to party. It's a nice feeling, cause I get along with all of them (minus the Germans, who suck a whole lot)! We made a mess of the British Beer Company in Pembroke, after it took us a lifetime to find the stupid place.

Sunbathing at Nantasket was incredibly lovely. It's just too bad that the water was freezing cold and there were bird feathers floating all over the place. After that we went to the plaza and I purchased a new shirt! My parents made fun of me for it because it was a forest scene and a little random. Whatever.

After a long day of painting candles (that did not hold on to the candles, since wax and water-based paint don't mix) it was nice to sit down at a nice meal with friends at Friday's. I got some delicious chicken parm sliders with fries and Michelle's barbecue sauce. We then adjourned to Michelle's where Alex and Dan met up with us and we watched and ridiculed the Teen Choice Awards.

Tonight was Leonard's birthday celebration! There were a lot less people than anticipated, but it was still a good time. While we waited the hour and a half to be seated at Dick's Last Resort, we pre-gamed at a bar around the corner called Trinity, where Lenny had his first legal drink! Poor Josh and Nicole were the youngin's who had to wait outside for us. Then when we were finally seated at Dick's and they brought us our drinks, the waitress pressured Leonard into chugging his long island iced tea. That's a $10 drink right there. Then there were copious shots taken. On the way home after we parted ways, a drunk couple shared their sangria out of a pitcher with other passengers on the T. Hilarity ensued.

Chris, pictured above, was very drunk from the glass of wine in his hand when he decided to put that ball thing on his head and sing karaoke to Beyonce's "Irresistible." We arrived at a party we weren't invited to, with foreigners that blatantly hated our presence, and spent the night being obnoxious with a ping pong table and stealing puzzle pieces from the rich family who owned the home we were in. And then we were stopped at a Sobriety Checkpoint in Hingham. It was a good night.

This is man-love right here. A very special Brushstrokes photo shoot left the four of us completely encrusted in black, white and blue paint, that will probably never wash out of my hair or out from beneath my toenails. After a long and painful hose-shower, we headed to Megan's for a night of S-bux people and crazy drunks. They're always so entertaining.

This post will be dedicated to Jamie, because today was her last full day in Massachusetts before she leaves for Iowa for the rest of the summer. We're all gonna miss her and her crazy ways, but we know she'll have a good time out there in the corn fields and down by the crik. And no, Lenny isn't an alum from Wey-High, he just plays one sometimes.

We played the Wall-E game today. It was pretty cute, and kind of exactly like you're watching the movie. Then ate at the Newbridge Cafe with boasts a delicious house salad dressing. Later we went to Megan's house to participate in a pool party with all her Sbux friends plus the four of us. So that's about 13 people right there. It was cool, and I wish I took pictures. I have my last class tomorrow, which is a final, which I haven't studied for yet.

Happy 4th of July! This was from the sea wall at Michelle's beach house in Hull where we saw at least 10 different fireworks shows. It was such a nice time and almost everyone was there! Minus Aron and Kenny, and of course my Lenny, but he "joined" later on by drunk-dialing me. I really really want to witness him drunk first-hand cause if he's half as funny as he is on the phone, then my life will be complete.

We went to a 3rd of July party (Sbux style) in Brant Rock, and it was probably the best 4th of July I've ever had. It was just, so much fun. We saw a cover band to the tribute band of Sublime, Bad Fish, who is a customer at Starbucks (White Mocha), sat feet from where the fireworks were being shot off, danced a whole lot, sang a whole lot, was loud and obnoxious, and made friends. It was such a good night.

I love this! M. C. Escher is one of my favorites, and this just made me laugh. Anyways, we stayed at Len's S-bux today to watch for and then (maybe, if the opportunity presented itself) attack (but not physically) the little girl that is obsessed with Len. She is really very irritating, and the mission was only successful in that we got to see what she looked like. She ran away scared after she saw Megan's evil glare though. Later we had a dance/karaoke party in the screen porch with Mishk and Al.

We're very sexy. Just you remember that! This lasted much of the night, along with Guess-That-Song. There was some driving here and there as well, not to mention the tacos that I got. You can't forget those!

Tonight is full of Funfetti cupcakes and tv at Al's house/ sleepover. I need something to do with my hands now cause we just poured the batter and are waiting for them to finish cooking. And I think I added a little too much batter, which means they will explode all over the place. No matter, I hold that they will still be delish.

I discovered today that I gave the Writing Proficiency office my correct email address, but incorrectly spelled. I'll take care of it on Monday. Rather than spend night number two at Humarock, Megan and I enjoyed a nice dessert/snack/drink at Chili's. Which is fine by me! I had a delicious cheesecake, and I'm pretty sure we would still be there at this point in the night if we actually went. I don't know about you, but I'm falling asleep. By the way, the mystery of the singing-electronic-device was solved! It was coming from an old Wheel of Fortune game whose batteries were slowly corroding the inside of the game. I'm so glad that's over with. I was really freaked out by it.

Let's just say that tonight was one of the most awkward and strangest nights I've ever had. Megan, Lenny and I hung out with employees of Sbux Hingham in this very nice but confusing to navigate place in Marshfield called Humarock. There were 10 of us in the tiny house, most of which were very drunk and high, acting really silly. We went to the beach to light a fire and drink, where blood was spilled along with beer. They were some pretty ridiculous characters, let me tell you. I don't even want to get into talking about the shack/garage that we sat in while waiting for everyone to show. So awkward.

Happy birthday party to Alex! We went to Acapulcos for dinner and margaritas and it was lovely. Then after, we got Funfetti and made her birthday cupcakes. And played Apples to Apples. It was a big hit.

This is Michelle's strange elbow flexibility. And Megan's screen porch which we sat in to play Cranium and talk about Michelle to her new man. He's pretty chill! I approve.
