hello, Mardi Gras. i am sarah.

my fond friend Mardi Gras has once again arrived in my very own, and very new backyard. Although I am now located uptown, it found me once again. a faithful friend who always brings happiness, food, and lots of drunk people who smell like pee.

although i have only been to one night of parades (last night), i feel like i have already experienced some pretty darn awesome things:

1. this one lady standing on a ladder was dancing to a marching band when she lost her balanced and grabbed her friend, who was also on a ladder, and they both fell down in a a drunken stupor. luckily they were too drunk to care. thumbs up!

2. last night two people came and stood right in front of me as a band was passing and everyone has to back up. the lady next to me saw my horrified and disgusted face upon their unwanted appearance and told them off! woo hoo!

this allows me to segway into my next list. some rules for mardi gras:

1. try not to throw up on other people. it doesn't make them happy and tends to bring down their night.
2. don't pick up beads off the ground. they're tainted. if you do, you're a bead whore.
3. don't stand in front of me. i'll set you on fire.
4. if you throw crap beads, especially to me, expect them to be thrown back at you.
5. no one wants cups. except to pee in.

lastly, remember, plan ahead because there ain't no place to pee on mardi gras day.
