Damn, I'm having one of the best weekends ever.
On Friday we went to Randal's house, and for the most part just fooled around all night. Little D&D, little poker, little talking politics. All in all a pretty good time.
Saturday was simply boss. I woke up in the morning and went over to hang out with Caitlin for a few hours. Then she took me out to Noahs and bought me bagels. ^ ^ Afterward she came to watch me play soccer in Dublin.
The game rocked hard. It started off well, and early in the half we took a two point lead. I had an assist on one of them, where I kicked Mustafa a sweet aerial pass from about three quarters up the field, and then in one fluid motion he trapped it and slammed it into the net. They were going with the wind, though, and managed to tie it up before the end of the half. Second half we were on the good end of the field, though, and took back the momentum. Two more goals made it a 4-2 lead, and our first win of the year. Our record became 1-1-2
I dropped Caitlin off after the game, and went home to get ready for the dance. Picked her and Kyle up again around 6:15, and showed up 10 minutes late to Angelica's house, and were still the first ones there. Took some pictures at her house, then went to Hunan Chef Wong's (The 1st one) for dinner. The meal was awesome, we ordered plates upon plates of food, and ate so much that there was only one box of leftovers to split between the 19 of us.
We showed up at the dance, and it took a little while for things to get going, but once they did everything rocked. The High Top Posse (The same guys from Sr. Ball!) was DJing, and they definately rocked the house. Instead of spinning 3 hours of hip-hop all night, they gave us an incredible variety of music. Instead of the usual 3/4s of the music being crap, last night 3/4ths of the music was songs that I really liked. They also got the crowd (More than 1000 people came) REALLY excited, and lead some great group dances. Among the awesomeness that was played:
- Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (The DJs declared that this was the best song ever, and lead the crowd in singing the entire thing. The pinnacle moment of the night.)
- AC/DC - Back in Black
- Big & Rich - Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy
- Darude - Sandstorm (Anything related to DDR rocks my world)
- DJ Casper - Cha Cha Slide (The DJs coordinated the crowd so EVERYONE was doing the dance at the same time, and facing the same way)
- Nine Inch Nails - Closer (This one got cut off early because the Administration complained)
- Berlin - Take My Breath Away (Not the shitty Jessica Simpson version! I can't hear this song without thinking about Tom Cruise)
- And a ton of other random goodness that I can't remember right now.
Needless to say the entire dance rocked hard. In my not so humble opinion, it's the best dance Amador has had in the past four years. The same guys are going to DJ Junior Prom and Senior Ball this year, so I'm definately going to both of those events.
After the dance we had a small poker game at Caitlin's house. Actually, we had two small games. The first, at the insistance of Angelica and Shelby was played not for money, so it quickly degenerated into an All-In fest, and was over nearly as soon as it started. Those players left after the first game, too tired to continue, while the rest of us began a real game. I did pretty well overall, I was the last player eliminated, and got out after Jim and Caitlin went out in two consecutive hands, making Kyle the clear chip leader. He wiped me out soon after on a pretty good hand. I still think I made the right play going all in.
I got home around 2 in the morning, and immediately went to bed, because I knew I had another soccer game to play at 8. I got a solid 5 hours of sleep, made it to the field on time, and it was raining cats and dogs. I was positive the game would be canceled, but the refs showed up and we played. The field was quite muddy, but not so much so that you lost all traction. We were playing Newark, who usually beat us every year, and the game was really close. We eeked by a 3-2 victory, though. The sweetest moment of the game was when Alan did a jumping header to knock the ball right into the net. We're now 2-1-2.
All in all everything rocks. Every weekend should be this cool. |
