a lucky shot and a shout to the locals

Current Song: 'Misery Business' by Paramore

First off, I don't have any idea how many of you locals still read this. I know of one. If there are more, great. Anywho, my neighbor Spider (Dave) is throwing one hell of a shindig this Saturday. It's kind of a joint party between him and my dad, complete with a pig roast, lots of alcohol, music (supplied by me--so mostly good music), a bonfire, and everything else that goes along with a kickass brouhaha. So, if you're not doing anything around sixish, feel free to drop by. If you wanna bring a dish, great. If not, there'll still be plenty of food. Call or text me if you need directions, but the place is real easy to find.

With that out of the way, I've gotta share my good news. For the last few weeks, Ralph's been giving me pool lessons. I used to be pretty good (or so I thought) but now I really do suck. I've gotten better with Ralph's help though. I almost beat Devin earlier tonight, and then I did successfully beat Ralph at a game of nine ball.

Mind you, it was most definitely an accident. I was trying to sink the eight, but it bounced off the nine (unintentionally, I assure you) and knocked the nine in. I win, I win! Yay.

The drunk dude that had been hitting on me all night gave me a hug (awkward), and even the creepy guy that had been watching us play gave me a congratulatory smile. Or a 'you-just-got-lucky-bitch' smile. Either way.

Nevertheless, I did beat Ralph. So, I think I'll start challenging Ralph to nine ball from now on, and just keep practicing eight ball with Devin where I actually have a fighting chance to almost win.

Triumph!
