mobs, welts, beads, and spying on mr. parten.....a.k.a. mardi gras madness

i know that everyone has just been DYING to read my blog, but i've just been SOooOOooO busy lately.

let's see...

Friday:

Went to a Hermes and Krewe d'Etat with Meghan, Melissa, Jane, Jonathan, Elizabeth and Roons. MMMm... parades. how i love thee. I was back to my usual bead rate of "overflowing" rather than "slim pickins" from the metairie parades. Yeah, not too much to tell.

Saturday:

Went to Iris with Jonathan and Jane at Kay's apartment on Napoleon. Good times. We saw Ms. Dubbin!! Yeah, didn't do too well at Iris, but Jonathan, on the other hand, was just racking in the beads. Plus, we walked past the mater campus and jane and i saw mr. parten and his wife so, we were like, "oh, they're so cute." and then he looks over and sees us staring at him so we had to sprint down the sidewalk to avoid him finding out who we were. that night we went to Endymion with Evie's family. We went to the Picknick, Pickiewicky, Pickwit... Hotel. Soemthing along those lines. We were right on the corner of st. charles and canal. we were on the balcony; it was all good except when jane got hit in the head with beads and got a welt from it. not so good.

fun/kinda scary moment of the night: when people on the ground below were trying to get me to flash and about 5-6 guys were just looking up at me waiting for me to flash for this guy's huge beads. good thing i didn't do it. i might have regretted it when got those same beads the next day without doing anything.

after the parade was over and the battle between jandy and the lady and her kid that was next to us was over (with us emerging as the victors), we made a mad dash to the garage where we proceeded to wait like an hour to get out of the parking garage and then another hour to get back to evie's. highlight of the car "ride" from level 5 to ground level of the parking garage- making fun of the guys behind us who were sitting on their horn, playing jock jams at like midnight in evie's crammed car, and then falling asleep on jonathan to "my heart will go on" thanks to magic after dark on 101.9.

Sunday:

thoth at my aunts with jane and jonahtan and elizabeth towards the end. I GOT DUCKIE BEADS, BIG ORNAMENT BEADS, AND 2 SPEARS WITHOUT FLASHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is quite a feat.

Bacchus- we drove over to jonathan's grandmother's house and met his family. margarita, portman and melissa met us there, and we caught the end of thoth again, mid-city (where jonathan hid from his jesuit jazz band that he dissed) and Bacchus. we had allison on the phone while elijah passed... good times, good times. didn't do so well at Bacchus.... only like 20 or so beads. but, we did see mr. howard on teh mermaid float, so we got bombed with a few packs of big beads.

Bacchus endnote- jonathan bought me pink, fuzzy, light-up bunny ears!!!

Today: watching "Seven" with elizabeth, jonathan and jane then heading up to jonathan's grammy's house for tonight's festivities.
